So I have a small collection of figures that my granduncle gave me around 2010. Now, I didn't know anything about Warhammer at the time, and he didn't tell me what they were. I just thought they were cool old toys, and when I asked for them, he let me have them without a second thought.

Even now I don't know a many of the finer details of Warhammer 40k lore, so I could use some help identifying these warriors.

I'm sure I've got some Eldar, and I think the only member of the Imperium is a Dreadnought. Most of these figures represent forces I don't recognize.

As for the figures themselves, they're definitely made of pewter and based on the Google searches I did I'm pretty sure they're from the early 90's. I couldn't find pictures of my exact mini's. The closest I found were rusted pewter Space Marines that were almost certainly from the same time period.

I'm really hoping someone here has photos of these same mini's but in better condition. I want to see what these look like when they're well taken care of. Mine pretty much looked like this when I got em'. I want to see the Dreadnought especially, as mine is missing pieces.

90's Warhammer 40k Pewter Mini's

they look like retro eldar aspect warriors to me.. striking scorpions, dire avengers, dark reapers,fire dragons etc, and possibly a harlequin? no dark eldar there, theyre all regular eldar.

So they're an older design huh? That explains why I was having so much trouble identifying them. And, why a buddy of mine told me they were probably "Gen 2" mini's.

90s metal eldar.
Striking Scorpion Exarch missing chainsword.
Normal Striking Scorpion missing chainsword.
Swooping Hawks, one missing barrel of lasgun.
Guardian.
Swooping Hawk Exarch with barrel of gun twisted.
Dark Reaper missing missile launcher.
Howling Banshee missing most of sword.
Yep, a Harlequin.
Harlequin Solitare missing a leg (and pistol?)
No idea, not GW I don't think. - Edit- I am an idiot, it says RAFM on the top line and R Murch on the second (Bob Murch the sculptor for RAFM minis!).

@ingtaer
This is some great info. Thanks man!

Edit: Still trying to figure out what kind of SM that is. Looking at it again, its head position and face reminds me of the Terminator Armor.

The last one is a RAFM (NOT GW, a different miniatures company) Destructor model missing arms. From the late 80s/early 90s - when GW's terminators still had their faces in their torsos.
