Please help me identify these old models!

My parents moved out of my childhood home and sent me a box of models I had collected around 12 or so years ago. I was able to figure out what most of them were pretty easily but I could use your help identifying a few. I'm not sure if they're just older versions of current models or if they're models that aren't made anymore.

I think these are Necron Canoptek Spyders but the ones in the official store have these big cannons on their backs so I'm not quite sure if these are the same thing.

This looks most similar to a Tyranid Zoanthrope or perhaps a Neurothrope but it lacks any of the appendages, is only a single model instead of a set like in the store and is metal instead of plastic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Tyranid one is a 3rd edition zoanthrope with it's head upside down.

Oops, I was pretty young and bad at reading directions when I made these. Thanks for the help!

They are old Necron tomb spyders that are no longer made. The big cannon ones are the replacement.

Oh cool, thanks for the help!

Would you happen to know if old models like these are worth anything or does nobody want theme anymore since they don't feature the cannons?

Also, I have some other Tyranid models (a few carnifex and a couple Lichtors) that are metal and it seems like the current editions ones in the store are plastic. Do you know if these older metal models are worth anything more than the standard resale price that plastic ones would go for?

Some people like the old metal models. The cannons are optional war gear and these can count as the new spyders. Put them up on r/miniswap and see who is interested.
