It's a 6-limbed multi-part casting, but with the miracle of blu-tac I have brought it to life. Here's a scale shot next to a Genestealer Magus and an early purestrain genestealer:
And are some more shots including close-ups of the head with tentacled mouth:
Here is the Ymgarl Genestealer as illustrated in the Rogue Trader rulebook:
A pretty close match wouldn't you agree? The head of the miniature, and particularly the tail, is more akin to the movie Alien figures, but it's essentially the same figure. Notice the miniature has the mouth tentacles of the illustration.
So, what do you think? I want one!
Incredible this find, you 're a real hunter of lead treasure.
ReplyDeleteBye Nico.
Ohhh this one get my juices flowing, so tasty :)
ReplyDelete4 thumbs up to you Steve !
ReplyDeleteWow, thats cool. Its less cool that none of us will ever get one, but it is cool to know that one was made. Like the Administratum scribe from a while back, its interesting to think that there may be other miniatures based on RT illustrations knocking around.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
great find never even seen one of those ever
ReplyDeleteReal shame it wasn't put into (mass) production.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting
Fantastic! Great mini and it does really resembles the Ymgarl. Thanks for sharing this great find /Hans
ReplyDeleteWhat more lies in yonder treasure chest me wonders......
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance of getting some of these old pieces cast for the rest of us! I imagine we'd all want 1-200 of those stealers?
ReplyDeleteAre the technically copyright?
Speechless.
ReplyDeleteMaybe best post I've seen on a blog for the last decade. Thanks for sharing.
