Title: Looking for intel on some undead SF troops
Post by: zizi666 on July 01, 2014, 04:05:06 AM
Managed to snag these from Ebay, well, basicly because they looked cool  :P
When they arrived they felt rather heavy so there's a big chance they're lead.
Anywho, if anyone recognizes these, do tell !

I THINK they're Warzone.  Necro-somethingorothers...

Warzone would have been my initial response too; I vaguely remember a faction with that look (and the gatling gun certainly fits :D ), but the bases are throwing me off. Weren't Warzone miniatures on slottas already?

They certainly are cool looking undead; not something I've come across very often for sure...

++EDIT++ How do they compare to other 28s? Are they on the larger side? If so, they might fit with some near future / cyberpunk minis I've got; the bases are exactly the same. Them being lead could be another match too. I'm not able to check the minis in question right now though, and I've only got a couple, bought here and on Ebay, but it sure look plausible...

Definitely NOT Warzone Mini's (Target Games Undead Legionnaires were the closest to these). No idea as to where they come from otherwise, sorry

From the title I suspected Starguard's  "Necromorphs" -

"The Necromorphs are reanimated corpse soldiers utilized by the Terrasa Regents. 

When you need one, just thaw him out. 

Accurate information on Necromorphs is hard to come by because the Terrasa Regents keep the real stuff secret. The information they release is mostly exaggerated old wives tales. All this stuff about how the Necromorphs can be buried for years and then awoken to reek havoc is shear nonsense. The Necromorphs must be kept frozen until use. Warming up takes about 6 hours (terran time). For this reason The Terrasa Regents hire Fabian and Eli mercenaries to man their permanent bases and fortifications. They would hire Amerons (they work cheaper) but for the fact that the Amerons consider the Necromorphs and their creators as blasphemers against nature."

But these are not them.  Don't recognize them, sorry.

Gracias,

Glenn

Definitely NOT Starguard figures. Wrong scale, and the Necromorphs look nothing like this. Not sure where they come from, but they look cool!

They seem  the same heigth as LAF minis.

Put me in mind of RAFM figures but they're not on their site. Hmmm… ???

Reapers doom minis?? maybe??

I dont recall a lot of manufacturers using a standardized round base like this on their minis.  Maybe that's a better way to approach this?  The first that comes to mind if Metal Magic.

I was after them myself for much the same reason. They're not Warzone unless they were never released and the armament doesn't really match Dark Legion. Any marks on the basis.

I am pretty sure I have seen those before somewhere, but I can't track it down right now.... But I want some   lol

Yes, there are numbers scribed in to the bottom (very crude) that read : 5001, 5006, 5009, 5017, 5020...

Almost sounds like something Grenadier then...  ???

I was thinking Simtac or Grenadier K-Force, but I sure don't see anything that looks like these in their catalogs.

Here is a list of the Grenadier base markings...

They're not Metal Magic... and I agree with Jonas. I want some! =D

yep, now that I can see the bases better.  From the first shot they looked like those perfectly round bases MM used for their custom plastic bases.

That number doesn't seem to be on the Grenadier list so it may indeed be Inquisitor...

These miniatures interest me greatly, but I haven't had much luck finding any information on Inquisition Miniatures. I did stumble upon a picture of an awesome mechanical spider, presumably by Inquisition, here on Lead Adventure, of all places :)

Anybody have more info on this company?

 :D I found exactly the same and am even more intrigued now.

Apparently Inquisition Miniatures never had a website. But I did find out that they did some 25mm undead/skeletons (of which there are a couple of painted pictures around), plus that awesome Steampunk Spider.

Zizi; you sure know how to pick 'em...  lol
