Hi all.
I don't know where this guy came from but I was given him a while back,

I googled it and couldn't find anything about it, is it forgeworld or custom?

There are no markings or anything, it didn't come in a box either just wrapped in news paper.

I thought it might be one of the limited edition forgeworld one's but can't find anything on the net and there's no numbers on it like my Resident Evil Nemesis bust.

its about 14cm/6inch high

anyone know for sure what company made it.

**Mukkin'About**

Whoever made it, Waaaaaaagh! Nice score.
Wish i could tell you where it's from. some help i am. digging it anyways

**stompydakka**

I don't know, but he's about to put a whole lot of hurt on that marine

his stikkbomb is bigger than that entire dude, power armor and all.

**Wyrmalla**

The face doesn't look very forgeworldish to me-at least based on their earlier ork busts. Maybe an independant sculptor, or possibly warp artifactcs?

**jimmy gunn**

If I was to put him on ebay how much should I ask for?
as I need some cash to buy more marines.

**Brotherjulian**

Could that be a 3-up for a model?

**Cerebrium**

Yeah, I was about to say, it does look a lot like a 3-up scale.

**Meeka89**

One Billlliioonnn Dollars mwhahahahahahaha.

**MechaEmperor7000**

It looks like one of those Forge World limited edition Dioramas. Could be worth alot since I heard they scrap the molds after a while (mainly because the molds just break).

**Tarkand**

Nice crimson fist marine

**KingCracker**

Thats pretty cool, I might be interested in buying it if your wanting to sell it. PM me with an offer if you want

**Squig_herder**

Im sure that it is the 58mm scale models one branch of GW make, I have seen a few scaled "models" like that. I could be wrong but im sure an arm of GW make 58mm scale models of the 28mm models, small range though.

**Kroothawk**

You are talking about the 54mm Inquisitor range (specialist games), but they never released an ork for that.

Plus I did say he is 14cm tall which is 140mm

Anyway I've put him up on ebay.

Sorry but its uk bidding only.

**MagickalMemories**

UK only?
Too bad. You could've gotten a pretty penny for it from a certain American I know.

**Clumpski**

anyone considered it could actually just be gork or mork? x)

**thesilverback**

To Small for Gork or Mork, more demon prince size.

**Grey Templar**

I would definitly say that is a 3-up.

3-Ups are large scale models that are made as a base point when designing a model.

the final design is then scanned into a computer, shrunk down to proper scale, molds are made, and then sold to you and me.

every GW model has a 3-Up somewhere, usually on it's designer's desk.

**KingCracker**

GAH!?!?! British bidding only. Talk about getting hoed

**Kroothawk**

Logical choice as only Americans showed interest

Although he could easily allow your bid using this exemption sheet:

I doubt it's a 3-up. It's too dynamic. It's not a character model (too plain), so it wouldn't have a reason to be posed so dynamically.

Plus, by looking at the face, it appears to be more of a "late" 2nd edition/ "early" 3rd edition style Ork (probably early 3e, considering the muscles).

My wager goes on it being an old Forgeworld piece.
