Trying to find two minis.
« on: June 02, 2018, 08:13:34 PM »
Hi all,

I've been trying to track down two miniatures that I came across a few years ago online. I've spent a few days searching online and have come up blank. I usually save images of interesting miniatures that I find online, but for some reason I didn't do it on these two occasions. I thought I'd see if any of you kind folk might know what they are straight off the top of your heads.

So here goes, the description of the first mini:

It's a nurgle type demon sitting on a tracked vehicle. He is part of the thing I think. The picture I originally saw online of him had this mini painted up in a lime or bright green colour. It's kinda inspired from a Doom or Quake type big boss.

The second mini is of a skinny man holding a massive piece of equipment on his back that extends over his shoulders and down in front of his face. It's supposed to be some sort of analysis device. Looks a little like an microscope on steroids. The thing is ridiculously huge and impractical, but it looks ace.

I know this is not the most definitive description of these minis, but that's all I can remember of them.

Hope you guys can help, Cheers  :)

Isn't the second one from the GW 40k universe? Was it painted with a red robe?
cheers

No.

I should have made that clear in the description, my bad.

Both minis aren't from GW. They were made by independent manufacturers. I have a feeling that the first one was made for a specific game system, whereas the latter was made as a one off, just for fun.

Thanks for picking me up on that OSHORI ;)

Might the second one have been the Pharon Recycler from VOR, sold by Ral Partha?

Thank-you so much! You've saved me from pulling what little hair I have out of my skull trying to find that second one.

Cheers :D :D :D

That is very gratifying. Two obscure miniatures identified in short order.
