Mike's Models 15mm Fantasy - the quest to id!

 

I was sent a small bunch of these lovely little sculpts last week and have just got around to taking pics. It looks like the fantasy were sculpted by Mike Burton, one of the owners although the WIKI says Aly Morrison... . I've never seen a catalogue of any sort, merely listings in Military Modelling with the (very) occassional line drawing... makes it difficult to work out what is what unfortunately unless, of course, it's glaringly obvious. I've posted previously onto Lost Minis;

However I have loads more that I'm not sure of... all tucked away safely awaiting me to unleash them on the world again. These below are the new bunch and I'd love any positive identifications! Where there's a shield design I've taken extra pics in case it helps. I'll update the post once we know what is what! Horses also need positive identification of course... there are 14 listed (one winged and one skeletal so only 12 to go from really) and seven below...

The pics!

WP33 Halfling with bow

WP17 Guardian ranger w/sword

WP26 Elf Foot standard bearer?

WP18 Good wizard on foot

WP16 Mounted guardian ranger with spear and bow

WP19 Good wizard mounted

WP10 Mounted leader with standard?

WP35 Mounted Halfling with sword

The horses...

Any help (as always!) appreciated.

TSR The Game Wizards - Gateway to Adventure

An old flyer I just came across hidden between other things... must have had it for 20 or more years I think. The absolute joy of seeing the old games again. Happy memories and cursed be the corporate suits that destroyed TSR...

 If you enjoyed looking please leave a comment below... any stories of the suit's collapse of TSR?

Superior Models Starfleets

 

These were produced in the late 70's to go with their Starfleet Wars rules of 1978. Don't think Star Trek or the mind boggling Star Fleet Battles. I found the flyer (produced by game distributor Alnavco) when, as usual, I was looking for something else. The miniatures themselves (along with many others) are now produced by Monday Knight Productions (tell them I sent you if you go visiting...)

I don't remember the miniatures coming over here back in the day although sci-fi wasn't a big thing with me except in 25mm at the time. I did end up with a bunch of the wonderful Archive Miniatures spaceships via eBay some years back. Nevile told me they'd been used in the film industry although, if he mentioned a film, I dont remember it now.

Anyway, on to the flyer!
