Well I can help with a couple...
The 7th one down...bloke with sword and a little nubbin coming out of his foot is from the Marauder MB6 Orc Battle Chariot
http://www.solegends.com/marauder/mb06orcchariot.htm (BTW if anyone has the guy with the axe or the archer from this picture that they want to part with please let me know.
And in the bottom picture...upper right hand corner...orc with shield, spiked helmet, and curved sword is a Harlequin figure...or heartbreaker...I can't remember which...but not citadel.
Anyway...there is a start for you...I'm sure the big brains will be along to help with the rest. ( I really like the guy in the 6th picture...with the pole arm...awesome fig!)
Cheers,
Blue

Chap with the bat wing fin on the top of his helmet is the alternate rider for the mid/late 80's wyvern.
The last picture shows three heartbreaker orcs and goblins by the goblin master from the 90's. the big one in the right hand corner is a harlequin giant Orc.
Almost all the rest I recognise from various releases in WD through the second half of the 80's.

#9 is a standard orc, see pg 0502 of the '88 catalogue. He's #7 there.
#4 (orc w axe) is a variant on #06 and #08 in the same page as above.

Forget about being a completest. Does it look cool? Does it fit in with my other stuff? That's the only questions I ask of a mini, you sort of become aware of when they were released and with what else but I try not to get fixated on the numbers. That way lies madness and getting stuff yoiu don't really like just to complete a set!

Wise words Erny, sometimes the 'completest' in me raises its ugly head and as you say that way lies madness.
On a slightly related note I was reading recently how psychologists now say that one of the reasons men like collecting things (more so than women) is that the brain reacts in a similar way when we get that final piece as when a hunt is successfully completed. In other words we are actually (and literally) hunting down those last figures.

I'm a completeist through and through. =) I do however limit the madness by setting a clear definition of "complete". For my orcs, it's the 1988 catalogue. Variants are fun, but I'm content to have the complete catalogue pages. I just love these orcs too much to not get them all! =)
