Skely knights might be either:
Vampire Counts Armoured Skeletons
or

The Halflings are:
Halflings - Slotta Based
Scrumper - Drunk x2
Willy - Pedlar x1
Leo - Watchman x1
Harthol x1
Hiero x1
Not sure( 2 stacked halfings with flag)

thanks squilverine, Howard A Treesong, MeanGreenStompa,

**squilverine**

I am fairly sure those "Gnomes" are some of the first Halfling models GW ever produced, I think I have the one with the barrel knoking about somewhere.

**JH Eldar**

Next is some kind of giant not sure exactly

**JH Eldar**

Some Xbow men
think they might be:

Empire State Handgunners / Crossbowmen

and 3 more models which i do not know what they are (I believe they are more WD97-95 models.)

Thanks to Howard A Treesong nice job thx for the links

**Howard A Treesong**

I'm pretty sure the first lot are Undead Grave Guard or just heavily armoured skeletons. Then you have some halflings, the one with the barrel is certainly in the link below. Of the big lizards I've not seen the first ones before but the second pair are the very earliest cold ones and the frogs are all slann, from around the mid 80s. The various human figures could be anything as GW have produced human fighting figures for donkey's years, they are early slotta based figures though as the crossbow comes seperately.

You might have some luck on Stuff of Legends

Many of you other figures are in the links below.

**MeanGreenStompa**

I believe the 1st pair of lizards were the 'hunting dog' ones, released with handler in a set, at the same time the cold one riders, infantry and a leader on a palaquin (held up by lobotomised humans) was released.

The 'giant' is a villager, the halflings are halflings (although I find the paint job very suspect...) and the undead, I think, aren't actually citadel and may be marauder or harlequin made.

**Flashman**

Crikey, aren't the frogs the original Slann? Classic! (in the old Rogue Trader book, they had Space Slann too

)

The crossbowmen look like Bretonnian reavers to me (yep, Bretonnians used to have crossbowmen too back in the day).

**MeanGreenStompa**

Yep, they have that 'Norman' feel to them with the helms etc that the early Bretonnians had going on. (see Ravaging Hordes)

**JH Eldar**

Awesome thanks so much that helps a ton! Ready for more? =)

@ MeanGreenStompa you are right they are harlequin made

**JH Eldar**

Here are some guys that I don't even know what race they are.

They are Fimir Meargh and I have a whole army of the armored and unarmored normal ones

Thanks 99MDeery, Flashman, MeanGreenStompa

**99MDeery**

Those last few minatures look like Femur.

**JH Eldar**

Another i do not know

Confirmed by squilverine It is a RT602 - Ambull - nice job

**JH Eldar**

Here are some more lizard men on the bottom it says fern 82 meier - its very hard to make out

**JH Eldar**

Here are some archers

they are Skarloc's Wood Elf archers

thanks MeanGreenStompa, Mannahnin

**Flashman**

Yep, there was a Fimir in there somewhere. Not sure about that last one. I was about to say treeman and then I saw the beak, so probably chaos something or other.

**JH Eldar**

And these are some barbarians

**JH Eldar**

Now with these centaur i am lost i looked in wood elves and beast men and i could not find any of these so i'm lost

Yep they are Chaos Centaur

thanks MeanGreenStompa

**Jin**

Man, for whatever complaints we have of some of the newer models (Beastmen, I'm looking at you) things have significantly improved over the years.

**JH Eldar**

Now these are RAL PARTHIA - 1986 metal Centuar but not a clue what actual unit it is or if it even works in a war hammer army today

**squilverine**

JH Eldar wrote:Another i do not know

That is an Ambull, a very early 40k (Rogue Trader) space beastie

http://www.solegends.com/citrt/rt602ambull.htm

**MeanGreenStompa**

The two 'cylopean' models on 40m bases are indeed Fimir. The first of the two is the witch called a 'Meargh', they led the fimir and were the only females of their kind. The second model is a warrior with two hand weapons.

The bowmen are both wood elves. Might be from Skarloc's but seem too armoured and not hooded enough, my memory on them is faint.

The centaurs are chaos centaurs from about the time of the release of 3rd Edition WHFB. They were released in the same edition of White Dwarf as some very diverse and cool Chaos Thugs (which were what marauders are now).

These are by Tom Meier. They are Troglodytes from Ral Partha. Love these figs back in the day. Reptiliads series I believe.

**Mannahnin**

The two elves are indeed from the Skarloc's Wood Elf archers boxed set. I have a unit of them.

**JH Eldar**

Anyone know what these are?

**Balance**

Ugly?
