I bought these very cheaply on eBay. No buyer's remorse - they'll do very nicely as the spine of a HotT army. There are enough for two units of shooters, two of blades and at least three of knights. But what on earth are they?
-
I haven't got a clue, but the swordsman looks like some sort of dragon-man. I like the look of it.
Are all of these metal? In the picture it looks as if the mounted ones (frogmen?) are a very hard plastic (like the Robogear stuff).
Come to think of it; the style does remind me a bit of that one Russian brand that did all those fantasy armies and castles some years ago. Wasn't that the same company that did Robogear?
+++EDIT+++ No it wasn't: it was Zvesda... :D

Too easy. Herptars from the old Holistic Design's Carnage minis game.

They are nice wee beasties

these beasts would be great for Dark Eden Warzone (1st edition of course) setup ! :-*

I doff my hat, sir! I doff my hat! :o
They are indeed nice beasties. And, with nine cavalry, they amount to 16-20 points of a 24 HotT army. I have enough reptiles for the rest ...

Yup - me too. It was a guilt-free purchase. They've got a certain charm.

Yes - very hard, silvery plastic that seems to take paint OK (judging by the infantry). I need to establish how they respond to polystyrene cement; if they do so obligingly, a few conversions will follow.

That's exactly the alley down which my pre-arrival investigations wandered!

Anyone looking for the figs (lots and lots of the figs) might want to check this out:

Noble Knight is a reliable game store and ebay seller, and that price is simply insane. Lower than the shipping cost, which is predictably high for a game that's nearly as big as a GW Big Box like Warhammer (which was the market Holistic was trying to compete in back when it was released in the very late 90s).

Sadly £30 shipping to the UK. :(

Also, that Auction is for the books and cards only- no minis!
