So I was browsing through my old WH 40k codex (3e I think, maybe 2e) and I saw a picture of a sweet Warboss model that I wanted.
After searching around on the internet however I was unable to find anything that looked remotely like it.
I was wondering if anyone knows if it was a limited edition model or something...

I particularly like his "metal fingers" PK

Aduro has it right. Old metal nob from 2nd edition. They released the metal nobs that are still available in 3rd, and gave us the wonderful plastic ones in 5th.

Ahh thanks for that guys. Do the current 5e ones have a hand like the one in the picture? Or will I have to go digging for the old ones?

No lightning claw looking PK in the new box. Maybe if you modded some lightning claws it could look really close.

It's a converted Gorkamorka Nob.

And the arm is taken from the 2nd edition Nazdreg, sorry, this image is all I could find.

Once 3rd edition was released most of the Gorkamorka moulds were put into making the 40k miniatures replacing the cartoon Ork Klans of the 2nd edition.

I plan to use this guy as the center piece for my Nob squad. I know he is nothing rare but he definatly looks the art. Close to what you are seeking and more readily available.

Yanno this is weird. I was looking in an old white dwarf that had that very same mini in it, and I thought "now thats a cool looking nob"
