Anybody Know These Mystery Miniatures?

I won these off a mechanic in a bar bet years ago. The guy said they were from the original Space Marine game but I'm not sure I believe him. Anyone know what they are?

They appear to be morons with one eye and space bazookas

JDJarvis said...: What scale are they? They do not look like any of the early GW Warhammer 40K miniatures. Are they metal or plastic ?; August 26, 2013 at 3:51 AM
Anonymous said...: I doubt they're Citadel -- the pre-slotta sci fi minis they did in the early 80s were not this lumpy and flat, and had rounder bases. The "Lost Minis Wiki" is down right now but if it were up I'd be looking at Archive and maybe Asgard's "Large Sadistic Demon" line.; August 26, 2013 at 4:07 AM
Kitchen Wolf said...: My money would be on early Starguard, from McEwan Miniatures. He's still in business if you wanted to ask him:

Zak Sabbath said...: lead. typical late-70s scale. They are definitely not GW, but there were things called Space Marines in minis games before Warhammer.; August 26, 2013 at 9:19 AM
JDJarvis said...: They look like 15mm to me due to detail. Starguard was 25mm line wasn't it? I could be wrong. There was a RalPartha game with 15mm and a Grenadier one as well but don't know if itks either (one might have even been called Space Marine).; August 26, 2013 at 10:05 AM

Unknown said...: Lost Mini's Wiki is a very worthwhile resource. +1; August 26, 2013 at 2:45 PM
Zak Sabbath said...: I asked the Starguard guy, he says no.
However, he does have a pretty cool selection of historical and retro-sci-fi minis; August 26, 2013 at 7:31 PM
Socrates_Is_Mortal said...: A friend of mine had these minis. I don't remember what they were called. Sadly, he's not around to answer the question.; August 26, 2013 at 9:15 PM
Nachtwulf said...: My first guess would have been Starguard as well. Damned if they don't seem familiar to me, though. I'll dig around in my old stuff in storage to see if have any similar to them.; August 27, 2013 at 7:34 AM
Christian Lindke said...: These look similar to the Stan Johansen "Hiss" Aliens for the Space Marines game published by Fantasy Flight Games. Stan Johansen still makes miniatures, so you can ask him.; August 28, 2013 at 4:21 PM
Christian Lindke said...: By Fantasy Flight, I mean Fantasy Games Unlimited. Ugh.; August 28, 2013 at 9:41 PM
