Mystery Space Marine Minis/Pathetic Midlife Crisis was created by Amontillado
A friend of mine seems to have a touch of midlife crisis. Now, for some this would play itself out by getting an automobile that comes with new mating privileges. Others, I don't know, head for the hills, shave their heads, and beat on drums. Or shoot Elk. Or whatever.
But my buddy seems to have wandered down a Darwinian dead end and has, in fact, taken a shine to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Now he spends great yawning hours in bespectacled amusement pondering the forces of Chaos, the proper career path for a rat-catcher, 'n shit like that. All well and good. And while not gay -per se-, he's also something of an antiques guy and a thrift shop hound. So now his chocolate is stuck in his peanut butter, and he's bringing home mystery minis he finds while out stroking the thrift store scene.
He's sent some pictures of these to me, and after I'd finished my taxes and other grown up things, I set about trying to identify them. Many look like space marines of one kind or another, so I took some time to look for them on BGG. But after awhile I thought to myself, "why waste your time on this when there's professional time-wasters by the dumpster-full over at F:AT?" No sooner considered than done.
So I submit these images for your consideration. Could y'all help this poor fool ID what I like to call his "thrift stool?" Yes? Thank you!

To my untrained eye those first two look like Siege of the Citadel minis and the last one some pewter Doom Trooper minis.

Yep, the first two are definitely from "Mutant Chronicles, Siege of the Citadel"

The last image with two metal figs are Venusian Rangers (also from the mutant chronicles universe). It was a tactical minis game but the name eludes me a for a second. My freind Kieth Suderman would know it in an instant. Grrr... Thats going to bug me.

The last ones are definitely Heartbreaker minis, and they're definitely not from Fury of the Clansmen or Blood Berets, so they'd have to be from Warzone

WARZONE! Thank you MLJ. You saved me from several hours of madness while I tried to pry that out of defunct and atrophied brain...

Yep, that's me, good ol' MLJ. It stands for "Makes Life Juicy" in case you were wondering.
