Marauder Mounted Reiksguard Knights (MM66)

[Tommy20]

Does anyone have photo's of the Marauder Mounted Reiksguard Knights (MM66)? Especially useful would be the WD ad, or catalog page.

I think I have a bunch, but need to positively identify them.

Thanks!

I think I have some old catalogues somewhere - try sending me a PM tomorrow evening or Sunday (I'm at my in-laws right now).

Would be great if you took a photo of the minis and upladed it to here, too.

I finally got photo's of the knights uploaded.  I'm pretty sure the two torso's on the top left are from MM66, but have no idea what the others are (other than I got them from Games Workshop at the same time).



Any guidance is appreciated.  Thanks!

3rd top row is Valmir von Raukov, Grand master of the order of the Griffon (then still an imperial knightly order)
2nd row are knights of the order of the griffon. i never found these in any catalogue, but I have an old flyer from around '92 with the complete order and over the years I bought the grand master, a wizard and the knight with the winged helmet on foot.

The other two are marauder, never saw the mounted versions before.

I have one Marauder knight with the 'Warhammer' hammer.  But I'd never seen the other two.  Damn, I need those now....

As for the rest, I remember this Empire Knights plastic boxed set that came out late eighties/early nineties.  I think thats where the bottom row came from.

The top two are Marauder, to my knowledge there are no flyers, ads or catalogues showing them. To the best of the collective CCM understanding there were three variants with two different horses (one with full cloth barding, one with metal bard front only). They were 'released' to some extent as I have one in a blister and have seen others on eBay.

A summary of the Citadel Knights can be found on the CCM wiki, it notes the first sighting of them was in White Dwarf #113.

If you are looking to part with the Marauder knights please let me know as I'm missing one of them.

Cheers!

If I remember my old White Dwarf ads correctly, the guy with the warhammer and back-wings was marketed as "Imperial General", and came in a blister with a wizard and the guy with the long high plume who was listed as "bodyguard".

The knight with the horns was listed as "Knight Templar" and the one with the wings on his helmet as "Imperial Guard". I don't remember those ones being under the Marauder imprint as they are Perry sculpts and I don't think they did anything for Marauder.

They appeared in a few ctalogue pages in WD around, what, maybe the issue 120-mark? Stuff of Legends is not being helpful though.

The other three I can't help you with, sorry.


EDIT: Bugger - just realised that Joe's link to CCMWiki says all that. (Except that I got two of the names wrong). Arses.

Sounds like you guys are all on the right track here...The only thing I can add is this CCM entry about the MM66 Reiksguard knights

http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Reiksguard_Knights_%28Mounted%29_-_Marauder_MM66

There are 5 torso variants...3 leg variants...and two horse styles (as mentioned above)  They are difficult buggers to track down.  I'm slowly assembling a full set...I have 1/2 the bodies and both horse variants....its actually the legs that I'm having the hardest time tracking down...all the legs I have are the same.

I too am interested in hearing from anyone who wants to trade or sell some of these....I have an extra torso with sword.

Cheers,

Blue

Oh #$^#! I supposedly run the CCM site and had no idea Tony had made a page on the Marauder Knights!

I feel like I'm in a Monty Python sketch ... 'There's 1, 2, ... 5 of them and three is the number I am missing ...'

I feel obligated to say that I would also love to have a copy of the general with two wings.... You know who to contact if you need to find him a new home...
