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?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209746.page GMT Help wanted to identify this model.

Possibly old Warzone? The weapon style alone screams "Warzone". ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209824.page GMT Help wanted to identify this model. Possibly old Warzone? 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. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11209945.page GMT Help wanted to identify this model.

"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)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212066.page GMT Help wanted to identify this model.

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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212451.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212451.page GMT Help wanted to identify this model. Possibly old Warzone?

I still have the rulebook for Shock Force buried away. Was actually a pretty decent system.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800664/11212515.page GMT
