Okay, I was at a shop in New Hope, PA today that mostly deals in old books and toys. It seems someone sold off an old collection of D&D miniatures and the shop was selling them for $5 each. I saw a ton of old Ral Partha and Grenadier models I recognized (or once had). But then I saw some on slotta bases that looked like they were Warhammer models. Seeing a rare oppurtunity, I snapped them up (the sold them to me at $4/each because they saw I was a fan).

Do any of these look familiar? I can't find them anywhere online.



The samurai has "SAMURAI" on the front of the tab and "GAMES WORKSHOP 85" on the back.

The Chaos Warrior with the halberd has a mostly illegible tab (I could barely make out "GAMES WORKSHOP" on the back). I can tell that the nub for his shield was clipped off, so he definitely was designed for the old shields with the hole in the middle.

The Chaos Warrior with the axe looks like a classic warrior but at the same time doesn't. The tab has "CHAOS LORD" on the front and nothing on the back. It's made from the same softer alloy like the other two. He definitely has a GW shield (again, the kind with the hole in the middle). My gut tells me it's GW, but I can't find any record of this model anywhere.

Do these guys ring any bells?

I recognise the CW with the halberd and the samurai (from Oriental Heroes IIRC), but not the dude in the middle.

EDIT: I was right about the samurai. He's the first model HERE.

EDIT2: Middle guy is the Iron Duke HERE and halberd guy is Utokh Vilespike from the same page (but released somewhat later in 1988, which is why I actually remembered him).

Thank you so much for the links, Duskweaver!

I had the hardest time finding anything on them. For a split second, I wasn't even sure if the Iron Duke was a legit GW model.

Armed with the models' actual names, I bounced around eBay and it seems $12 for all three was a damned good deal

Utokh Vilespike has found a home in my Tzeentch chosen
