This model has quite an unfortunate story... Starting off from eBay at first I thought it was a just under coated a but thickly looked a bit detail obscured, later I found this was actually to disguise the fact someone was trying to sell a fake recast, this meant it was pretty brittle. My brother carelessly chucks his sports bag at a bag containing this and it shatters into many pieces, so a couple of bits are just missing front he model since they didn't seem even worth the hassle of mending them to that extent. Anyway, enough of the boring backstory, here's pics.

Still looks pretty good to me....
I bought, and painted (and sold) a Chinese Forgeworld one of these. (of course I divulged the source)
The only parts I found brittle were the tip of the sword and the blades on the legs.
