Anyone know what this is?

(I'm fairly sure this thread is safe in this sub-forum but if it's not then mods - I apologise :(.)

 

Evening Brothers,

 

I stumbled across this lot on E-bay and wondered if anyone knew what the mini being described as 'large space marine' is? it looks like it could be quite a cool model if all the goop was stripped off it... so before I think about buying it I thought I'd seek the aid of my bretheren in identifying it...

 

thanks in advance, any help is appreciated

Perhaps something from the Inquisitor line? Doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before though.

There was an Inquisitor Genestealer, but the model in the auction does not look like it. And the Space Marine's armor doesn't really match normal PA or Scout armor either. The "Tyranid" could be an old 2nd edition warrior or something like that, though.

 

Maybe it's a Star Craft Terran and some kind of Zerg? I don't know the franchise very well though, so it's just a wild guess.

 

But I know GW does produce limited runs of special miniatures for employees on Christmas, but as I said the design doesn't really look like anything from GW.

 

Don't forget that you can ask the seller himself via ebay's message system. If you don't get an answer there you could head over to CMON. The guys over there are pretty good with identifying old, obscure and OOP minis.

 

Good luck.

I have pics of just about every GW 40k model ever made and I have never seen that suit of power armor before. It would make a good base for an artificed suit for a captain though or and old termi if its big enough. The "spiky bitz" are from an old eldar titan and I think the nid parts are from a hive gaurd, to metal gargoyals and an RT Zoynthrope. I am 99% certain about the man and hive gaurd and titan and 70% on the other nid parts.

Thanks for the response guys. I've asked the seller and they've no idea what the 'large marine' is. I've done a searchy of google looking for StarCraft stuff but from the pictures it turned up I don't think it's from that range of mini's, as the scale and style are different.

 

I've posted a topic on CMON so hopefully between here and there we might be able to work out what it is :lol:

Thanks to the guys over at CMOn I now know that the mysterious figure is one of these. I quite like the look of the whole one, and I think having seen it properly that it could be suitably SPace Marine-ised, now I just have to decide whether to save up for a new on or not....

 

thanks everyone
