Title: Identifying old fantasy figures
Post by: the Great on March 01, 2025, 12:08:37 PM
A very long time ago (1970s) I played D&D and similar and I've been going though my old figures (see another post in "Age of Myths, Gods and Empires" for my old Macedonians).  I think I've identified some of these: Ral Partha CS5 Wood Elf cavalry with spear; Ral Partha CS10 High Elf with sword; Garrison SS75 Minotaur.  But can't work out what the Cleric and Barbarian Warrior (?) are: any ideas?

The cleric is an old Asgard Miniatures sculpt. F2 Fighting Bishop with Mace, Flail or Hammer probably a Bryan Ansel sculpt. The fighter is also Asgard, F9 Intrepid Hero. Both from their early Personalities line.

That was quick!  Yes, I think the cleric used to have a hammer or mace, long lost. Do you have a good link to old catalogues/lists?

Lost Minis Wiki is an amazing resource for ID'ing a lot of old minis, pretty exhaustive list of manufacturers and I believe you'll find some catalogues dotted through the database (although I may be thinking of Stuff of Legends and CCM there, which are more geared towards classic Citadel Miniatures). Although be warned - it's a rabbit hole you may never return from  lol

Lots of Asgard Miniatures are still available from Alternative Armies in the UK as well, lots having been recently remastered. I've bought a fair few from them over the last few years, nice crisp casts, excellent service and quality. Worth a look on their site for recent painted examples of the old classics as well, something that can be hard to come by with some of the older non-Citadel minis

Yeah, never mind, didn't read your opening post properly.

The mounted figure is a Tom Meier elf.  As can be seen on the Ral Partha Legacy site, the rider is 50-0053: Wood Elf Cavalry Lancer, on horse 48-0501: Elf Horse, Saddled.

I believe the minotaur was by Garrison Miniatures.

Edit:  Already identified!  Never mind!

Lammings used to do separate weapons (eg mace). And I still have a load.
If you are in the UK I can post you a weapon or two. If you want to re-arm him. :)
