Can anyone identify this weapon?

[hd3]

Is this a heavy bolter?

[Evil Eye]

Yeah, that's the heavy bolter from the Heavy Intercessors set, I think.

[Iron Lord]

The cylindrical ammo drum is a bit atypical - I think standard heavy intercessors have a boxier version. Maybe it's the Primaris Company Veteran version of the heavy bolter, but with no firing shield?

Nope, just a heavy intercessor

 

[DemonGSides]

That being said, he does look WEIRD compared to the heavy int I posted above, OP's pic has a different gorget and pose.

 

My immediate thought is that OP's is a third party model, not sure why.  Feels soft in the details.

[Iron Lord]

The cables also look different - not like those on official Primaris marine models with heavy bolters. Looks converted at the least.

[DemonGSides]

Yeah even the Sternguard heavy bolter out of Leviathan uses the round HBolter mag, seems to be a Primaris thing.

But the chest plate with the winged skull, the brow of the helmet is off, and his shoulders have the wrong angles.  I'm guessing he's 3rd party.

[Iron Lord]

Sternguard Primaris heavy bolters have cylindrical drums - but I can't see a cylindrical drum when I google Primaris Heavy Intercessor sprue, or look at the pictures of the sprue on the GW site.

 

The cylinder immediately behind the ammo drum is also smooth rather than knobbly as on a standard Heavy Intercessor Heavy Bolter.

 

 

The bones behind the skull on the OPs's bolter also look slightly larger and more detailed - two big bulges at the end of each bone.

The pic I posted is a Heavy Int from a regular heavy int box, if I remember correctly.

But yeah I think the individual things point to it either being a specific release model that I can't think of or a third party. 

[Iron Lord]

Good point, and when I googled I found one that, except for the cables, looks much more like that one - even the cylinder behind the drum feed isn't knobbly.

This looks kitbashed. Heavy intercessor heavy bolter with round ammo drum as above,  what looks like the power feeds made from from the back of the legs of gravis marines, or the devastator plasma cannon power feed.

Also the front of the gorget looks like it's been modified - it almost looks like they've added something like the outside edge of a rhino cupola mount?

[StratoKhan]

Looks like a 3d party model, with slightly lower res detail…

[RWJP]

Surprised no one has mentioned the helmet which is a dead giveaway of it being a 3rd party/knock off/3d print mini. The brow is much too wide and the face is much too flat compared to actual Heavy Intercessor helmets.

The profile of the shoulder pads is wrong too. On the official GW models, the curve of the shoulder pad continues through the trim, whereas on that mini, the trim at the top of the shoulder pad is clearly flat and parallel with the bottom of the pad. I don't know why, but it seems like shoulder pads are always slightly off in 3rd party/knock off/3d prints. No one ever seems to be able to accurately duplicate the compound curves.

So its a fake

 

[Toxichobbit]

It's a hellstorm heavy bolter, which is why it has the drum mag. They don't have rules anymore, they're just heavy bolters now.

[hd3]

Ah, that's a shame, I really need a heavy bolter marine to finish this project.

Out of curiosity, are either of these fake too?

[Wormwoods]

The top one appears to be a from the recent Heroes of the Chapter box. I'm not as familiar with the Gravis kits, so can't speak for the latter.
