Asgard Miniatures - who sculpted what?

As everyone knows, before starting Citadel, Bryan Ansell ran Asgard Miniatures, who hired people like Nick Bibby and Jes Goodwin to do their sculpting for them. There are lots of Protohammer goodies, Runequesty Chaos, black orcs, not-Elrics, chaos warriors, superb examples painted by John Blanche etc. etc.

But does anyone know who sculpted which figure?

We have it on good authority Jes did the Orcs (spooktalkers images below):

These look like top-notch stuff to me. Available from: http://www.thevikingforge.net

Also Jes did the Barbarians range which is at viking forge and alt.armies http://www.alternative-armies.com/28mm_Barbarians.htm

Any clues on the others in the range?

Yes the Dwarf Warriors I think. Eg.

Not sure, but most of the Dwarves in the Dungeon Adventurers range look like a different hand to me. Bryan perhaps? Eg.

The Elves are Jes as well? they certainly have the elongated Rodney Mathews Elric look that follows in the later Citadel ones. eg.

According to spooktalkers blog, the orcs are marked JG on the base, perhaps some others are marked too.

I've got the barbarian personalities, great figs! Had them painted by Paul v2, as can be seen here:

A lot of the stuff from Asgard is really nice, but I'm afraid I don't know much at all about who sculpted what. So... I suppose I wasn't much help. =)

No help at all. But they look brilliant!

OOPs, should have asked, are the Barbabrian Personalities marked JG on the base?

I don't remember... :oops: I don't think they had any markings at all. I got mine from Alternative Armies where they are still available for a very modest sum.
