please help to ID some old minis

[Donpimpom]

I got a box of assorted lead and I'm having problems to identify some minis, they look like old d&D stuff.
A couple have "grenadier" on the base (but i didn't found them at solegends), for the rest i have no idea where they are from.
Any suggestion?

edit: I update the post adding some links for the already indentified ones, thank you all guys

Ok, the very last mini is a Ghoul from the Grenadier Call of Cthulhu range, as seen here:

http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/browse/mirliton-miniatures/nightmares-1/view/nm035-mirliton-ghouls-2-3.html

The others I'm not sure about, but may be Julie Guthrie sculpts for Grenadier, in which case check out Mega Miniatures catalogue as they have the rights to those now.

(I must say, I like the little fellow dragging that huge sword along, that's a really fun little figure!)



Edited for getting people's names wrong like a damn fool...

Some of those look like Asgard to me

>Ok, the very last mini is a Ghoul from the Grenadier Call of Cthulhu range
oh! i though it was a werewolf or some kind of kobold. Nice, to the CoC shelve then.
Gonna look on megaminis then, I believed the Guthrie's stuff was on Reaper's stock.

>Some of those look like Asgard to me
no idea about a brand named Asgrad, gonna look on google

I discovered #9 (halfling with the bow) came from a grenadier box of halflings

Thank you guys, gonna keep looking for the rest.

Asgard were a Nottingham company with Bryan Ansell before Citadel. Later on they did an orc, barbarian and dwarf range which were among Jes Goodwins first sculpts before he joined GW.

I have an old catalogue, b&w with ropey pics of some of the range, which I may have a pdf of somewhere.

Viking Forge now carry some of the range, I dont know if they have these earlier models.

Should be on SOL etc. too

The halfling with the broken sword, second from the left in the top picture, is Asgard (he has a big backpack on, doesn't he?).

The halfling on the extreme right of the second picture, leaning against a tree, is a Grenadier.  I believe he was originally released as part of a box of halflings.

[Donpimpom]

yup, the one you mention has a lot of baggage on their back, so, is broken :-(
There are 4 or 5 with the same kind of basing, like the broken one, very probably they came from same pack.

I found that page about asgard stunties, but sadly the halfling picts are missing
http://www.stunties.com/wiki/index.php/Asgard_Miniatures

On the Viking Forge site they only keep two halfling models,
http://www.thevikingforge.net/25mm-fantasy-hobbits-and-halflings.html
by the way, they have some really cool models on their catalog.

The solegend has no images of the asgard range, gonna keep looking.

The last row, first fig is from Grenadier's 2013 Adventuring Party Mellison Halfling Fighter/Thief. 

I found it using the new WIP tool on the Lost Minis Wiki: http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Category:Topical_Galleries

The Little People section directs you to the Tolkien's Creations sections where you will find all the hobbits on the Wiki as of the last day of editing of that page.  When you find your fig's pic, click on it, then scroll down to see what pages link to that pic.  On those pages you will find the manufacturer, package, name of the figure, and sometimes, even the sculptor, who produces it currently, and maybe even a photo of the base markings!  The biggest clue you have to identify the manufacturer is the base, so use that info, too.

I only briefly looked at the hobbit page for you as an example.  If you want to return the favour, let me know if you can ID any of the figs on this page:  http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Gallery_of_Unknowns

If you want to contribute to the Wiki, please join, and you can have your own section for Unknown figs for others to help you identify them.

I've sent the pic to Stunties (www.stunties.com) as he will know anything small in stature 

Top row is Grenadier, Asgard, Asgard (Jes Goodwin), Prince August.

2nd row - Stunties will know, I have them but can't remember  Right is Grenadier ADD

Bottom row is not sure (!), Asgard (Jes Goodwin), Sam Gangee from Grenadier Lord of the Rings boxed set then your Ghoul.

[Donpimpom]

wow! thanks a lot guys,
Thank you dreamingleopard, the miniatures workshop is a great find, I have been looking at the unkown minis pages but sadly I don't recognize any mini :-(

Thank you dozingdragon, with your comment I succed to locate a couple more.
Sadly this week i'm travelling so I don't have to the minis to check their bases, I will do it when back at home.

I will update the initial post to link the identified ones just in case someone needs the info
