My local LGS has a bunch of old models that they are considering selling, but don't know the actual value of and thus are unwilling to sell - On the off chance there's some kind of gem in here that they're unaware of. I'd like to buy 'em since I really like the aesthetic of these older kits and the collectible nature. Any help identifying the exact names of these models and their value would be great!

#1 Small person with book


#2 Chainsword and Hand Flamer?


#3 Chiseled Jaw Captain


#4 Weird Hook Sword


#5 Heavy Weapon?


#6 Bayonet Dude


#7 Sword and Gun


#8 Wrist Communicator Thing Man


#9 Hooded Figure with Power Fist


#10 Dunno what to call this guy


#11 Misc. Grots

I don't have the weird total recall some of my peers seems to have with these things, but I can tell you for sure that #4 is actually a Librarian.

Well the first guy is from the Skullz Adeptus Mechanicus set. If they've got the whole lot then there's a gem right there.

#2, 4th column, 2nd in, & #7 1st in (1991 blue catalogue)


#11, some of the snotlings from here (1991 blue catalogue)


#11, couple of the snotlings here (95/96 goliath catalogue)


#9, inquisitor (1989)


#4 is definitely a librarian, but I can't find him in the catalogue.

As for value - that really depends. I don't think any of these are in particularly high demand (though I've not seen the Inquisitor come up before). They have value as curiosities. Probably the inquisitor and librarian are the rareist.

The 95/96 snotlings aren't worth anything (they came in big blisters of random assortments, anyone who had an O&G army in the 90's had buckets of these - they were cheap, unbreakable, multi wound models. They acted as a perfect panic break to sit between other units as they wouldn't break themselves).

Yep, snotlings aren't worth anything. Most of the others are maybe $8-10 a pop, unless one is particularly rare. An easy way is to put Oldhammer in the title and throw it on eBay with a reasonable starting price. You may have one or two rare ones in there, but I'm not sure.

2-8 are just SM of the RT period (87-).

#5 is a SM with missile launcher that predates RTB001 plastic one
#8 was a "communications officer" - RT had rules for musicians and standard bearers (for all armies) in it, don't recall exactly what the comms officer did, but it was a cool model.

Beaten to the punch.

Other than the Skullz book dude I don't see anything super rare in there, but these days RT metals can go for $10 a model so that's not nothing.

Can't speak to the book guy, the tech priests tend to get $30 or so but this model is smaller and less cool.

the grot with the pogostick is an old bloodbowl player, not sure how much he is it worth
