Title: Help with some sci fi minis identification
Post by: Maxromek on 19 August 2024, 01:26:35 PM

Can anybody help me identify these guys? They seem like they are from 5 different companies

I'd be tempted to say they are conversions of some old Citadel figures.  A couple look like they may be based on the Rogue Trader Space Adventurers.

The guy in the long coat is an Acropolis figure (https://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=File:Acropolis-andromeda5-asf049.jpg) from the Andromeda 5 range.

Looks like the two on the left are unusual though stock Citadel figures from the ‘80s. Gothic Horror Rancher (http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:GoHo39.jpg) & Judge Dredd perp Ratex (http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/File:JD-112.jpg).

Thanks everyone! Two more to go 😂

And thanks Hobgoblin for alerting me to a fantastic range of odd old minis that's Acropolis, they are still on sale! For relative pennies!

My pleasure!

There are some absolute gems in the Acropolis ranges. I have loads of their goblins (which work nicely with Fiend Factory Citadel goblins) because I was paid in kind for doing some sketches for the company when I was a kid. This guy was based on a drawing I did (along, I think, with some of the other later Nack Trybe ones):

I think those are from Mongoose's Judge Dredd line, you can still get them from rebel minis.
