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.

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.

Yep. Never heard of them before. And Grenadier / EM4 miniatures have pretty nifty dwarfs!
https://www.reapermini.com/search/cannon/latest/10008
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.

This one I do not know, but it doesn't look like Battletech's aesthetic nor Heavy Gear. It looks to me more like the Mekton RPG (aka I can't believe it's not Gundam). I believe they had minis.

Interesting. I did search around and found Heavy Gear looking kinda-ish. Can it just be very old Heavy Gear?
The mini is pewter.

It does remind me a bit of Mekton.
I think Kid is right though that it's probably Heavy Gear. Not likely the first minis which were 1/87 and produced by RAFM. Probably early on after the switch to in house produced "Tactical" 1/144 (aprox 12mm) models that predate " HG Blitz".
There's some interesting info here:

Definitely not a BattleTech miniature.

I stand corrected, this looks like Heavy Gear. I thought their stuff was more realistic and less stylized but that looks like the same mech. HG had metal models in the late 90s so it's probably an earlier version.

It is that one, so probably a Heavy-Gear old model.
