More experienced eye to ID and answer ?'s on PP & 40k minis

[MagickalMemories]

Hey, guys.
I have some models that I'm not familiar with and that, well, I want to know if there's any value here before I drop them on Feebay or in the forums. I appreciate any input you can offer.

First... I got this in a lot with a Cryx Jack. Despote the hex base, I was presuming it was a PP model, but I can't find anything on it anywhere. The tab at the feet is blank and Googling for "metal witch miniature" and similar items is getting me nowhere.
I'd love to know what model it and and who makes it:

Next are some metal Space Marine models. They're all WYSIWYG, as far as included pieces. The broken weapon on the one model is a plastic arm. Any input? Especially the guy on the far left, in the center. It's kind of hard to see, but his armor has a kind of collar around it.

Lastly are some OOP Harlequins. I bought them because I was considering painting them up to use in my Eldar and DE armies. I thought it would be neat to use the OOP ones. Then, I used a buddy's and remembered how much I hate them.
Any ideas which is which and if there's any particular value in any of them?

Any input, links or ideas will be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

all the eldar are in the back of 1 of the compendiums/compilations..from 2nd ed. The book that has the harlies on the front. think it was a yellow cover.
3&4 top row are death jesters. I know you have at least 1 swarlock and a couple solitaires.

pic 2.. 2 techmarines on the bottom row. and I THINK the 1 with the book on the top row is a libriarian..

Here's what I found on the witch (which by the way, was very hard to find even with my google-fu). She's the harbinger of the moon from Harbinger.

The only reference I got for her is from this thread here from dakka. Hope it helps you.

My impulse that your unid'ed SM is one of Fabius Bile's mutatey marines--but that's a total huess, given the photo.

I'll have to get a better pic when I can. He's definitely loyalist. The crappy paint that's on him can be deceiving.
In the mean time, thank you SO MUCH for all the ID's on the SM. You're, like, a walking encyclopedia and sh**. LOL

I think the unidentified one might be a mk viii marine from 2nd ed- they made around 2-3 poses IIRC- does it have a really high collar but otherwise look mostly like current marines?

Yes.

Getting a better pic tonight.


Thanks on the Harlies, Sorrow.

Well i'm just new to the warhammer universe but one or two things ive observed with this picture, first the chaplin that was previously identified to be more exact its a "standard bearer" if that helps. The 3 guns along the right without grips im pretty sure are "storm bolter" weapons but someone changed the magazine from straight to sickle. That "devestator" marine previously identified im not sure about that one. From the research i have done i think its another "blood angel" marine not sure which chapter though, the emblems on the knees throw me off.

He's definitely not a standard bearer. He is more 'special' than that.
They're not storm bolters. They're regular bolters. This is an old (2nd edition) style bolter. It's how they were made.
The Devestator is definitely a Dev. The bit over the eye matches.

Sorrow is one of our more prolific "old school" collectors. He's got an eye for these old models.

The emblem on the right knee is a Blood Angel decal, and on the left is an honour badge that is part of the original sculpt. It's a skull inside of a burst; probably a Devastator specialization indicator.

[spiralingcadaver]

Yep, no question. The forward-facing/symmetrical pose and big targeter mark it as a devastator- the old kind with the shoulder mounted guns. The fact that it's painted with the BA blue dev helmet just confirms this.

[JohnBlackhawk]

Well i apologize, usually im better about not talking about sh*t i know little about. but if someone could suggest a better website to look up miniatures i'd apprecate it.

[spiralingcadaver]

stuff of legends is a little hard to navigate but has a very in-depth catalogue. In this case, though, I'm just showing my age by recognizing the exact sculpt since I had one or two ages ago.
