Re: digging the archeovaults of GW

Hmmm.

Seeing you are well versed in the site. I have a few metal minis i apprehended from work (a landlord? don't know what to call them) anyway, he was cleaning something and found a few minis in metal.

They look very rpg-ish, and the style of those guys reminded me of them

They might just be something similar to prince august, but you never know.

Hmmm, one of the guys apparently has "Hp88" It also says J0 (with a zero).

Even seems to be from a separate game, i have to look into theese.
I'll put some pics up.

by Klomster Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:53 pm

Some double posting here, but it seems only we two post in this thread anyway.

Here are the minis, all of them seem to have HP88 on their bases, so my guess it's their family name as you so like to call it.

They seem to be a fantasy adveenturer kit, but that's all i know.
Here they are next to metallus.

I know i make you jealous every second, espescially since they were free Razz

They have some nice sculpts, and designs. I really like the dwarf.

Anyway, if you could help me identify them, it would be cool.

it seems grenadier miniatures (the slotta base is thinner in pre-slotta models before 1984) but i'll check.

@ brother Klomster : for the moment i don't have found from what range come your models ... but i'm keeping checking ! Wink

, and for the Imperial Halberdiers i think i'll found something you'll like.

a rarity from the 2nd compendium (1982 ?) : the TA2 (TA for Tony Ackland) dwarf juggernaught (the ancestor of the imperial tank). i nearly bought this beauty once : i went to 131,5 pounds and go to 132,5 pounds to a japanese collector known as RIRE40K... i was a little ... how can i say ... Upset !! Mad

COOOOL!!!

And i've seen many of the perry minis, they are very good and IIRC not to pricey.
I would totally use them if i made a fantasy army (not necesarily warhammer)

Also, the perry napoleonics range looks cool, i've considered many a time to assembe a squad of swedish karolins.
Coz they look COOL, espescially in empire total war.

Since most models nowdays are spin-casted, so it's not a faulty name, but i'm still guessing you mean spined Razz
