Hi, thanks in advance for any help identifying this model. I've tried searching but there's not much I can do without knowing what it was called.


A beauty isn't he :p

I rummaged through the bitzbox and painted some random weird models to add to a friends chaos cultist horde. I think it has a lot of character, even though the detailing might not be considered top of the line in todays market.

I think it might be from the Mutant Chronicles Warzone range (necromutant?), long before that range were rebooted. I think the sculpting style match with that range, but I'm by no means certain. The model were bought decades ago, probably in some random grab-bag at a con, so it could be anything really.


It would probably be a good idea to have a stickied thread for these kinds of questions about identifying minis. Does it exist perhaps, and I've just missed it?

That is a necromutant but a sculpt I have never seen. Is it metal or resin?

Necromutant from Warzone.
The weapon style alone screams "Warzone".

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.

As I suspected then.
I've tried searching for warzone necromutants but never finding that sculpt.

The model is metal. Kinda soft. Like the GW sculpts before they started using that "white metal" alloy.

Stylistically it kind of looks like a necromutant, but it doesn't look chunky enough to be a Warzone metal mini. Possibly from the Shockforce range?

"White metal" isn't a particular alloy.

It's a family of alloys with similar properties, mostly tin-based. Together, they are known as "white metal alloys" or "WMAs".
GW were using a "white metal alloy" since they started miniatures production, only originally it contained lead as well as tin and antimony. The tin was for detail retention. The lead is for flow control, the antimony was to help balance the two.
"Pewter" is a white metal (tin/lead alloy - no antimony, although "pewter" was a blanket term with a lot of variation as t what was used).
Even when they tweaked their mix to remove the lead in the early 90s (upped the tin content. Harder, shinier ... pieces turned to shrapnel when you clipped them off ... and replaced it with bismuth) it was STILL a WMA.

Interesting. That's a range I do not recall, but I looking through pictures, I think I've seen some of them before.
Our guy don't show up in the pics I've found unfortunately though..

Huh? Next you're gonna tell me the SEGA didn't actually have a super-secret blast-processing chip?

Guess I fell for the GW marketing lingo in my youth. (I'm pretty sure they advertised their newer, harder alloy as 'white metal' in old White-Dwarfs. Giving me the impression that the older alloy were not)

It doas not look like any necromutant I had seen so it may be another party mini.

It's a Screaming Legionnarie of Mudwaje (or whatever spelling) not a Necromutant, that's why it seems weedy.

Aha, that's the one!
Thank you.


Love those one-legged-striped-pants they gave him

I think I have the one with those weird cymbals(?) with faces on them too.

I still have the rulebook for Shock Force buried away. Was actually a pretty decent system.
