The first one is a Bauhaus Captain mini from Warzone (they use this cog symbol AFAIK), the second one is a Undead Hunter from Reaper lacking his shield: https://www.reapermini.com/miniatures/hunter/latest/03148

^^ +1 The first one is warzone. Bauhaus (corporation - it uses the cog symbol in that game).

#2 is from Reaper.

The third looks to be a mid-90s RAFM piece. They had large chunky cast-on bases like that.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Ah, Juxtimon is right about the third being a Warzone Capitol mini, it's this ranger sarge here, still available https://shop.princeaugust.ie/tg9728pb-warzone-capitol-ranger-sergeant-figures/ The Bauhaus dude seems OOP tho.

I can confirm the Warzone dudes, I THINK #4 is from Living Steel, a late 80s early 90s game. But honestly I could be wrong. They had that sort of metal circle base.

You guys are awesome!
#4 I found something from living steal, but I don't think it quite fits. the circular bases are different in thickness for sure.
Are these correct?

It's from the similarly named Legions of Steel. A Fantasian T85, apparently.

First Warzone dude is specifically a Bauhaus Hussar Kapitan. There was a second variant with a big gun.

Thank you much lads!
Looks like I got 7 of Union: Infantry Pitbull Rifle; narrow stance
1 of Union: Squad 1 with HMG
1 of Union: Squad 1 with Pitbull Rifle
1 of Union Infantry Pitbull; advancing gun relaxed but no helmeted version.
Very similar, even the knee pads are same.

I have discovered 3 miniature lines I did not know existed, and plan to get some from each.
Thanks again!

Just remembered I had some dwarfs.
1 - Cannon crew with a table it seems.

2 - A rock? with 2 goblins sneaking by it?

3 - Another dwarf cannon crew

I do not even remember where I got these from. I just have bunch of dwarven crews, mostly GW and some from scibor, and these.

The first batch are the crew for the Dwarf Cannon from Grenadier, later re-released by em4. The last ones are the crew from the Dwarven War Cannon from Reaper.

Thank you Fabio

Yep. Never heard of them before. And Grenadier / EM4 miniatures have pretty nifty dwarfs!

I though they looked suspiciously reaperesk

All done here!
Thank you guys!

Well it's not like you were asking anything hard, just ID'ing 25 year models from dead games.

I try not to think of Dakka as some hive-mind like collective; we are just a group of unique individuals. But as a whole, we know our stuff. I’m always surprised not that we can ID these obscure things, but how fast we do it. Someone on Dakka knows. We’ve got such a wonderful lot of random knowledge and skills scattered around.
