Nope, the Zombie Trooper, Sergeant and Doomguy are all based on the same posable clay model, the reason they move a little awkwardly is because quite literally, they have a stick up their bum.

Pic related isn't maybe the exact model, but basically, one of these, covered with sculpted clay, they'd make a pose, then take pics from 8 directions, then make a new pose.
This worked, but as stated, they would often break and parts would fall off.

The Baron Of Hell and Cyber Demon were also done in this manner.
Eventually they hired Mr. Punchatz, who would fashion flexible latex dolls, with steel skeletons, which would allow them to be easily posable and more consistent, without breaking, these were:
>Revenant
>Mancubus
>Spider Mastermind
>Arch-Vile

The Caco/Elemental I think was painted from scratch, based on the head of an Astral Dreadnaught, the Arachnotron was without a doubt a scaled down and repainted Mastermind, the Lost Soul was a medical skull, and the Pinkie was painted over a Jurassic Park dinosaur toy they posed (which gave surprisingly good results, given just how rudimentary this was).
The Chaingun Commando I think must be redrawn using the other zombies/marines as referene.
