I ran across a sculpt of Magnus the Red that isn't the usual Ronin one on Ebay. Interested on finding out if one of you chaps can help me track down the origins of it:-

Doesn't look like Ronin, Kabuki, or that Italian chap to me.

Gathering the Informations.

Well it's certainly not a GW sculpt. I'd guess from the seller's email suffix, it's from a German sculptor.

Hell I've seen that one somewhere before. ¬¬ Have you tried just contacting the seller and asking them? I'm sure they'd tell you the original creator's if they knew where they got it from (unless they're selling the thing for a ridiculous price and the original miniature's still on the market).

I actually believe that ones origins are from Russia, and were also originally cast in metal. I know that the Curze model ha has originated from a russian. I believe the resins are actually recast.

Looks pretty whimpy for a primarch...

That seller's offerings seem to be a mix of stuff.
Their Fulgrim and Corax and others are from Kabuki models:

However, that Magnus isn't. Sorry if this is no help.
