They would have fitted in with Gurggl Greenwakes band of bandits. <br /><br />I would think he is worth a good few pounds, but I'm not going to sell him. I was lucky to snag him in a batch of six other Slann (including another unreleased Shaman miniature which I already have) for 43.50 Euros, or £37.34.

I like considering how they were sculpted in relation to the released Slann. I consider them a little like a cover version of a favourite song, being partly the same, but also being a different take on a classic. :) <br /><br />The seller was nevercleaver84. I paid 8.00 Euros postage. I did'nt really mind the P&P considering I was after a rare Slann, and it was located in Italy.

I am aware that there are several re-casters and re-sculptors about, but this miniature doesn't fit that catagory to me. It seems more in line with being a sculpt test miniature or variant from the late 1980's as it seems in a similar vein and quality to other 'resculpts' from the time which are known from the Warhammer armies book, p115.<br /><br />I think you're right on it probably being a weapon. Some years ago I bought a copy of 'Armies of the 16th Century: Armies of the Aztecs, Incas, and other peoples of the Amaericas and spanish America 1450-1608' from Wargames Foundry and it shows a lot of interesting looking weapons and clubs. <br /><br />That's a very good point concerning the trainee sculptors, I had'nt really considered it as a specific reason.

Sometimes these models are trainee sculptors attempts at resculpts to bulk out the ranges as wellDave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.com
