Helping ID'ing a model

Recommended Posts

Hello! As a dedicated Blood Angel fan, I've recently started collecting some of the older pewter/lead models going back to 2nd ed. Currently on the hunt for a Leonatas and the Blood Quest models Cloten and Lysander but that's a different challenge. 

 

In my google searching, I came across this page listing which seems quite comprehensive: http://home-2002.code-cop.org/40k/marines_blood_angel.html 

 

Currently working through and buying as many of the ones as I can on eBay but one that I've never seen before and can't seem to find listed in the official GW "Space Marines Collector's Guide" in neither of the Blood Angels or Chaplain sections is this guy:

http://home-2002.code-cop.org/40k/units/Blood_Angel_Death_Company_Chaplain.gif

 

Alt description on this image is "Blood Angel Death Company Chaplain" but can't seem to find any other model reference that matches this. Was wondering if anyone else has a lead on this? Is this just a simple kitbash (I see a regular chappie arm and Tycho's head) or part of some ultra limited special edition model? Hopefully it's the former so I can cross it off my list of models to hunt for! Any help/hints would be appreciated!

 

Finally if anyone has a lead on the Bloodquest models give me a shout! I see two on ebay for 300 and 450 quid but there's no way I'm that desperate yet!

Kitbash imo.

 

Fwiw I do have a thread drafted up of all our oop stuff, just need to get around to finishing it...

Thanks for confirming! Definitely let me know when that thread is posted as I'd be interested in comparing notes. 

 

Definitely a kitbash.

Thanks for confirming!

Looking at Stuff of Legends, this is clearly Chaplain 1’s body and right shoulder, with Chaplain 4’s left arm and Tycho’s head (which is arguably the most recognizable part of the model). Not sure where the pistol is from, as it’s generic enough to be just about any one...

You guys are epic! Thanks for the solid confirmation so I don't need to go ebay hunting for this guy! :D

 

It's from the original Index Astartes: Blood Angels, in the hobby section after the background. It's from a persons army converted from two chaplains and Tycho.

Thanks. Is that the Index Astartes Vol 1 or Index Astartes I/II/III/IV ? Seems to be a few similarly named books and I've been trying to find the right source.

You sir are a legend! Thanks for listing out all the parts.

It's from the original white dwarf that had the index articles in, before they were collected and published in those volumes. Would have been ~2001/2002?
