I found it for sale on eBay and wanted to see if it's cheaper elsewhere or is a custom sculpt, it's awesome!

 We are winged salvation, but we are a terrible, final salvation, and our wings embrace the horizon with fire. We are the Blood Angels. To confront us is to die, and death is my remit, my reality, my unbounded domain. I have known death, and defeated it, claimed it as my own. To my cost, to my strength, death is my one gift to bestow, and I am nothing if not generous. |

I thought so! I want to repaint it but I know it'd be quite daunting for me due to my meager, newbie lack of skill at painting :/

It's one of the.old "not mortarion" models from kabuki.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

It really isn't.
It's a conversion.

EDIT - I stand corrected. Not a conversion.

A quick search of the Dakka gallery crops up. Searching Mortarion on CoolMiniorNot will no doubt producer a dozen such models with links in their descriptions. =P
I'm thinking Scibor.
Yup, OOP Scibor.
...Well probably OOP, I couldn't be bothered trawling through the site for that one mini.
Edit: or looking at it an imitation of that model... though oddly with the same parts of the produced one? Maybe a lower quality conversion based on it? 0.o

I want one of those Scibor Mortarions. Quick search brings me nothing, though. Darn.

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Probably because its from the days when they used GW pieces in their conversions, ie the melta gun in the scythe head. Pity that the sculpts made entirely from scratch aren't quite as good as the older GW based ones. =/

I didn't think that model was ever cast for sale, and my recollection of it was of more GW parts than it actually had. But it looks like I was wrong on both counts.
Well, well...

Looking at it I'm thinking with a slightly different paint scheme we could have a bacon covered mini.

Don't go expecting anyone to post that here. Promoting illegal recasting is.... not kindly received... on Dakka.

It doesn't matter WHY you want it. It would still be a violation to post it in the forum.
