Solved Help ID’ing some metal anthropomorphic animal warriors
Picked up these in a secondhand lot advertised Oathsworn Miniatures for Burrows and Badgers, but they seem to be a very different sculpting style, and I can’t find them anywhere on the Oathsworn website catalog.
There definitely were some Oathsworn in the set, in the first picture they are the squirrel mage and otter knight on the left and right (for scale).
I can’t find any matches in the Dark Sword Critter Kingdoms range, nor in Reaper. I can’t find any 3-D sculpts that are similar, and they definitely look like they’ve been sculpted by hand. The details are much rougher than those of the actual Oathsworn minis, but I was wondering if it was possible that they might be some sort of early sculpt that is now discontinued.
They don’t have any tabs or identifying manufacturer marks that I could find. The bases are generic RMP round-lipped bases, with the feet drilled and pinned.
If it helps with search terms, it looks like the miniatures are a mouse with a sword, a squirrel with a crossbow, a weasel with a scimitar, a frog with a sword and shield, a mole or vole with a slingshot, an otter with a pipe, and possibly an otter with a club and sword.
Thanks!!

Solved!
Turns out these are from Northumbrian Tin Soldier, a set called “Defenders of the Riverbank” inspired by the Wind in the Willows.

This is the five heroes and two of the weasel antagonists.

They look like these miniatures from the BnB game. Probably just out of production.
