Got this miniature from eBay in a bundle of painted miniatures. Can anyone tell me what it is?

 

[Galahad]

Looks custom to me. Is it all plastic?

Too bad it's covered in inch thick paint.
This is why my converted models are all unpainted...I'm afraid of fucking them up like this one

 

[Andros]

i'm fairly certain that's custom as well... looks like a Fantasy Empire shield he has there, the chest plate is a normal marine one, and that spear looks a little jagged, mayb an ork fantasy one..... no promises though

 

[DeusMortemEst]

Doesn't asnwer to the description of any existing chapter as far a sI know. Must be a custom one, yes.

 

[Red Orc]

Looks like a normal plastic SM, with a WHFB Empire shield and Lizardman spear to me, but that's just a guess.

Maybe give him a bolt pistol and use him as a company champion (or vet serge with power weapon)? (Alternatively, pull his arms off and give him something from your bits box...)

 

[QuietEarth]

Actually, it's a Tomb Kings shield. I've seen quite a few conversions like this before. It is a homemade chapter.

 

[cerrakoth]

Yeah tomb kings shield, spear fantasy aswell as its to fat the be 40k.

 

[Ezekial Lightning]

Yep totally custom shield and spear couldnt be 40k.

 

[Lord Sinkoran]

maybe a sgt or a veteran could be a poorly converted grey knight

maybe a sgt or a veteran could be a poorly converted grey knight

Doubtful, as it's green and yellow. I'd just go with a cool conversion for a DiY chapter. Ironically, those are the colours of my first custom made chapter. (saw it and I thought "Nova Hawks!!!") Only ever painted up one marine like it though.

 

[Pandawithissues...]

Strip the paint and that SM will thank you, and pledge his devotion to your cause!

 

[yamato]

That skull and laurel is from the Lysander model.

 

[FrozenOrb]

Thanks to all for the exhaustive answer, you guys are great and I appreciate it. After stripping, modifying the shield to be a Combat Shield, and spraying, I may either paint it as a Salamander with Power Spear or as an Imperial Fists.

 

[The Son of Horus]

For what it's worth, dat's an orky spear.
