Mysterious Figures of Mystery

I've just taken delivery of a HUGE box of old figures I got on eBay. Not sure how huge - my digital scales showed 'ERROR' and my analog kitchen scales only go to 3kg...
Anyway, amidst all the goodies for DP3 were a number of Mysterious Figures of Mystery...
Also two dragons I have not included here. I think I know what they are.
Actually, there were three dragons, but one was definately Egrimm Van Horstmann's steed.

Does anyone recognise any of these?
Mysterious Orc 1, Unknown Orc 1 and Enigmatic Orc 1

Purple Knight, Flamey Mage, Moon Man and Green Knight

Necromantic looking guy, Pyromantic looking guy, Chaos looking cove and NotSkaven Standard

Advanced HeroQuest Guy with Las Pistol?, Dwarf Slayer-is thing, Mr. Bendy Blade and a rather sick horse.

Unknown Orc standard bearer and friend.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm pretty sure they're not Citadel, and I'm kinda leaning towards a company which used to exist in Australia called 'Inquisitor' or 'Inquisition' or something. The eBay lot came from SA, so they were presumably bought in this country.

It's almost time for the Annual Terrain Compomeition - entries close on the 30th of September!

First prize:
$50 TFH custom terrain voucher. The project will be featured as an ishoo of TFH, and your name will be bandied about like crazy!
Certiwotsit of Winneration.

Second prize:
$30 TFH custom terrain voucher.
Certiwotsit of almost winneration.

Note that random additional stuff may be added to the prizes if I find anything interesting in the cupboard of doom...
