Still wading through Admins...

 I think the best way of describing this range is a quagmire. It's nearly as hard as working out Garrison 20mm Napoleonics or Minifigs S Range...

There are a couple of mysteries/issues with this lot...

While this lot include some assumptions and a 'new' figure.

AD34 Dwarf rider with axe riding AD270. The horse and badger riders seem to be the same figures - haven't gone through all of them though. This is the 'correct' horse - there are indentations in the horse's side for the legs to fit. I think the ones in Lost Minis Wiki are on other horses.

AD63 Redcap (evil border goblin). Being described as a Redcap I naturally painted the cap red!

AD77 Dwarf rider with sword riding AD270

AD142 Dark Goblin ninja throwing shuiken


AD148 Dark goblin ninja with ninjato

AD157 Kraken wriggling. Don't know why a Kraken would have a shell.

AD237 Pony. Haven't really looked to find riders for this - must try a goblin or two.

AD250 Wizard. One of the puzzles. The mould listing includes a lot of Celts plus the figure originally put down as AD250... then I noticed this one had pointy ears... plus shares characteristics with the evil wizard casting spells.  Now I need to find out what the current LMW placeholder actually is. Also, the casting list as opposed to LMW and the mould list describe AD250 as having a dagger and crystal ball. 

AD253 Muffin. Or Dobbin. Both on same mould, so this is an assumption.

AD257 Running ninja

AD252 Dobbin. See above under Muffin

ADSP22 Goblin HWRI with blaster. Not listed on LMW but in thehard copy of the online catalogue.

ADSP23 Chaos Droid 1. OK, Droids a mysery. ADSP23 and 24 are not in LMW but...  There are 3 droids in the catalogue, 6,7 and 8, but nothing about these in my mould catalogue. This one would seemto fit nicely as ADSP08, Evil Droid, what, with the tentacles and all... 

ADSP24,  . Chaos Droid 2.  So probably ADSP07, Dug droid or Bug robot. Crude figures but they have their uses. Stands made from dowel and MDF circular bases. 
DA26 Kicking ninja

DA26 back view. The back view definitely looks better!

DA27 Taueret (hippoman). Doesn't usually have a mace but had an open hand so... likewise haven't a clue how I should have painted it!

DA45 Female Orc

DA50 Mounted DA04 Warrior with sword. Not in the catalogue, just found the figure in the 'Masters' box - one of the few that are actually intact! I'm thinking this figure and the 2 infantry types (DA04 nd the halbardier) would make a good basis for an Alice or Dorothy setting.Red Queen or Emerald City militias.

Can't say the horse is an exact depiction of an actual horse.

  1. A pile of figures and some anomalies there for you to solve. They are certainly an acquired taste but I must admit the mounted figures are quite charming the horses especially have a lot of character about them.
