I've accrued/inhereted a lot of WF models over the years but never really got into playing it. I'm planning on selling the stuff I never got round to painting. Some minis are identifiable (because their name is on the sprue), but some I'm not sure about and could do with some help.
So, for example, there's this important-looking guy: https://flic.kr/p/25DJvkg A mounted (Bretonnian?) commander with a double-headed eagle helmet and holding eagle. I guess he's into eagles.
Thank-you for any assistance.

That’s a empire elector count; suppose to be on a armored empire horse.

That's great, thanks. I've got quite a few mounted figures. I put the horses in a separate box but now I can't find it :/
I'll have some more photos in the future so long as people don't mind me asking.

Yeah, that looks imperial. If there's an Eagle motif going on there's a good chance its an Empire model.

Part of a boxset of four Elector Counts, alongside Marius Leitdorf of Averland (who was distinctive enough he remained a special character through to 8th), Boris Todbringer of Middenland (who gets a fair amount of character time), and Vladimir von Raukov Elector Count of Ostland.
http://www.solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p212-02.htm
The set below includes Kurt Helborg and Thyrus Gormann.
GW went through a spate of releasing supporting special characters for the Empire. Seven of the eight miniatures on that page were special characters with their own rules. Most never got space in army book beyond a line or two in the fluff. Automatically Appended Next Post: Show us the rest you are not sure of, and either compare them on the solegends site or ask here. At least one of us will recognise them.

The one in the middle is Elector Count of Averland, the one on the left is a Captain of the Reiksgard Knights and both are on the Stuff of Legends page that Orlanth linked to.
The other chap is a Grand Master of the Knights of the White Wolf: http://www.solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p204-01.htm

You auctioning them?
Find plastic steeds for them then properly labeled and unpainted they should make a good price.
