need help identifying old bits


Recommended Posts

I bought a bag of bits and theres some older looking metal bits in there that I'm not sure what they look like. I don't have access to my camera currently so I will try to describe them as best as I can:

 

1) backpack for a space marine with two large wings coming off each side that are metal looking not feathery.

 

2) a things I think might be old missile launchers as they have like a clip full of missles

 

3) looks like a heavy bolter but looks like it might attach on the outside of the shoulder

 

4) 3 items that I think might be las cannons: all three mount over the shoulder. one is longer barreled and has a front grip with a small hand shield/long trigger cant tell what that might be. the other two are smaller versions of that same item.

 

5) last item is a long dragon looking thing with an open mouth and only two front legs...I don't even think this is a warhammer item...

 

I'll try and get pics tonight but figured I'd post it up here to see if anyone can help with jsut my descriptions.

More then likely 1st or 2nd edition missile launcher, if its metal most likely 2nd edition, otherwise 50/50 chance its 2nd edition.

 

3) looks like a heavy bolter but looks like it might attach on the outside of the shoulder

 

shoulder mounted heavy bolter for a marine is my guess.

 

4) 3 items that I think might be las cannons: all three mount over the shoulder. one is longer barreled and has a front grip with a small hand shield/long trigger cant tell what that might be. the other two are smaller versions of that same item.

 

 

probably are lascannons, but without pictures, can not tell for sure, and weather or not they are plastic or metal, of course a couple of them could be ork versions.

That sounds like a Necromunda Yeld Spyrer backpack http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1740000 or a Sisters of Battle Seraphim backpack http://media.photobucket.com/image/sob%20s...e/seraphim2.jpg

Does it look like the left-most of the 3 featured marines on this page? http://www.solegends.com/citrt/rtb01marines-01.htm

 

3) looks like a heavy bolter but looks like it might attach on the outside of the shoulder

 

4) 3 items that I think might be las cannons: all three mount over the shoulder. one is longer barreled and has a front grip with a small hand shield/long trigger cant tell what that might be. the other two are smaller versions of that same item.

 

For 3 & 4, are any of these close? http://www.solegends.com/citrt/rt103marinehvywpns.htm

 

5) last item is a long dragon looking thing with an open mouth and only two front legs...I don't even think this is a warhammer item...

 

It could be a citadel dragon or the orc wyvern. look at the dragon pages here: http://www.solegends.com/citcat88/index.htm

All the parts I listed are metal if that helps.

I won't be able to get pictures until tonight at earliest. I'm sitting at work sorting the bits right now. I have a bunch of plastic ones that are different colored plastic and are smaller. I think those go to that space crusade or whatever it was called.

 

And somehow I think I have a little space ship from something...

the old Second Edition Heavy weapons were ALL shoulder mounted. Based on your descriptions they could be 2nd edition Heavy weapons, but with out pictures

that's a shot in the dark at best.

The backpack is a Necromunda Spyrer Yeld backpack

Do the heavy weapons look anything like these? If so, that makes them the 2nd ed SM heavy weapons. ALL heavy weapons (except for the eldar, who had hover platforms back then too) back then were shoulder mounts.

Doesn't matter if they are chaos, loyalist or ork.

Better pic of the lascannon, heavy bolter and missile launcher on the long fangs page.

I don't recognize the Dragon bit. Granted I haven't played Fantasy in anywhere near as long I've played 40k but I'm generally pretty good at IDing what army a given piece comes from at least. It's too small to be one of the previous Dragon model kits. It doesn't have the heavy scales to be the older Hydra model. I don't recall the Lizardmen using anything in the form of a dragon like that. I can't do any better then a half guess with out a better picture. It could be a tail bit from one of the older Dragon Models.

Those pictures are EXACTLY the weapons I have.

I think I ended up with 3 lascannons, I have one exactly like in that pic then the other two are just a wee bit smaller but still look the same.

 

Those necromunda guys a weird looking. Geuss I can always hack up the pack to make something custom out of it.

 

Thanks a bunch guys.

Thats because those Necromunda guys are actually wearing Tau-made armour. Go figure - tau manage to make suits of armour that kick gluteus maximus in close combat. THanks the Emperor that they never sue them themselves...

Noooooooooo!! Use it as a jump pack for a Librarian or a Captain. etc. Or sell it/swap it with someone who'd use it.

 

You can bend it carefully so it wraps round a figure better, looks a lot less "Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" if you do so.

I'm using one on my Mephiston, still have one for another project.
