hi guys, new guy here, will post in the coming weeks, just have a quick question.

I have a metal bolt pistol that is about 3cms across, and was wondering where it is from?

pics attached

They were given out as some sort of incentive to stores. I think. Though they might have been attached to some kind of event. It was a long time ago.

I've got one myself from my days at GW and it's mostly used as "yet another piece of crap" in my desk. According to my wife anyway.

They were one of the crapy gifts you could collect with the skulls coupons think this would of cost you about £100 worth of perchases to get lol about 12yrs ago..

Thanks guys. If it isn't really worth anything and doesn't belong to a larger model, then I think I will either use it as a poker luck charm or give it to a special character lol

It was a keychain that you could get through the skullz program years ago. You are missing the loop tab on the back of the bolter. Since it was pewter it broke off easily.

I still have like 300 of the skullz stickers in my WH paperwork box.

My kid got one of those at a Gamesday we attended a couple years ago. They gave them out for participating in all the activities offered and gathering stamps on a card.

Anyone care to elaborate on the skullz program (not an old-school tabletop gamer, am intrigued)

I remember that! had one myself, have moved house twice since, so its well lost. I don't remember how exactly you got them tho.

the skullz program was a purchase reward scheme.

I can't remember the exact figures, but for every $50(aud?) you spent you would collect a 'silver skull' sticker. When you had a certain amount (like 20), you could cash in or a reward (like this bolt pistol key chain).
I think I still have a few stickers laying around.

Was it not 1 skull for every 10$ Maybe 20$ I was reading an old WD last night the keychain was 10 skullz. I could have had a whole admech group for only 100 or the old pain kit for all 300 of mine. Damn what a waste.
