Unknown vintage miniatures.
« on: 25 June 2025, 10:02:05 AM »
Can anybody help a mate of mine out? He has some old figures that he's trying to ID. The figures are about 40 years old and bought in the UK.

Third and fourth from left are Citadel Miniatures Fiend Factory figures - bandit and buccaneer, respectively.

Very characterful minis, still a joy to paint and play with today  :)

Lost Minis wiki link here, that era of Citadel would be a good starting spot for finding the others as well  :D

Number 5 from left is also a Citadel Fiend Factory figure, linked to above - Bandit with Sword and Shield.

From the look of the bases and general proportion etc, I would suggest they are all early Citadel from different ranges. I take it there are no markings underneath the bases?

Bases look early Citadel ie tapered and dimpled.
Underside of bases sometimes have codes etc or MP/AP( depending on which Perry sculpted)

Some have markings, but nothing useful. 😔

Thanks for the help. 👍
