These are very authentic epic versions of the original Eldar 40K
dreadnaughts (1st ed).
The spirit warrior was a little different, but, essentially, these are all
Eldar dreads.
This was back when Eldar dreads cost $7.50 per blister, not $18.00 per box
(if any one is keeping track) :|

These are also very authentic epic versions of 40K models from the 1st
edition. These figs have since been dropped from 40K, so fielding them in
Epic 40K will take some new rules...

Conqueror robot, I think...

Sounds like a Crusader robot.

>4 figures of a robot wich is more rounded (it's not as chunky) with a gun

Hmmm...Castellan robot?

Unsure...

Hope this helps!
