Can anyone help identify these goblin/orc figures that came as part of a large collection of 15mm figures i picked up. I have identified several ranges amongst the lot but not these ones.
1-3 are one group
4 is one figures of each pose amongst a larger number
The paint jobs are as they came and just prior to going in the dettol for a bath to clean them up some.

Any help greatfully accepted.

Jim

Not sure on the 4th pic, but the first three are actually 28mm GW Snotlings, rather than actual 15mm goblins.

I think at least some of the poses continue to be available to present day:

You just beat me to it, TheDar - I think you are correct in identifying the first 3 photo's as Snotlings. Not sure on the 4th one though, although they do look a bit like the old 15mm Ral Partha Battlesystem Orcs - I think.

The last pic looks a lot like the old Reaper Miniatures Shadow Corp range.  The molds got sold to Magister Militum who rebranded them as Blood Dawn, but the only or  figures shown on their website are artillery or mounted.  It could be the infantry packs are out of print.  Wish I could say for sure

They definitely aren't from any of the usual suspects.  I have looked all over and they're not in any of the currently available lines of 15mm manufacturers.

The fourth image is Rank & File Figures, some small grainy images of the range can be seen at Lost Minis Wiki.

Thank you all for the, as usual, quick and informative replies.
There were also a lot of Alternative Armies and Tin Soldier figures in the mix which were easy to identify.
I doubt i will use the GW figures as they are too cartoon like and silly for my more serious eye.
Sorry about the poor photos, it was late and I was tired. Bonus points for the ID from such poor offerings.

Thanks once again,

Jim

Am i correct in thinking that the Rank & File rqnge of miniatures are no longer being produced by anyone?

Sadly, you are correct. It was a smallish but lovely range too.
