Okay, it's been a while since I've done this, but I recently bought a small batch of random figures and need some help identifying them. One looks like an old Terminator, another from Blood Bowl and I don't know about the others. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've updated the known photos with what they actually are. A friend told me some of those models look like Lord of Rings minis. Did GW makes LotR models in the 90s?

6 may be super-old vampire counts, same with 13
IIRC GW did make an ancient LOTR set (unless it was another company, but one of the mini companies had the license), but I think that was the 80's or something, long before the movies came out

#3 is an old grenadier model - Saruman the White, that has been slightly squashed. At least I think so. Grenadier did some old LotR mini's as did Mithril, but Mithril stuff was 32 mm. SoL link

Concerning #5, the base looks like an old Mithril rectangle base...does it say the manufacturer on the bottom? Any clues you can find will help us figure this out.

That's a good idea. I'll post an update of what's written on the bottom of the minis later tonight.

Number 5 is indeed a mithril miniature. It is M172 Ghost of the Underdeep.

Okay, here's what I see on the bottoms
#5 has Mithril 169
#8 has Rafm 89
#10 has Mithril 172
#3 has a flocked base and I don't want to rip it off; #6 and #13 have glue on their bases and I can't read them.
