I believe that he was originally an Alpha Forge sculpt, though.<br /><br />Sadly, Mega Miniatures sold off the vast bulk of their moulds within the last year or so. I've no idea who (if anyone) picked up the Alpha Forge line and when (if) it will be brought back into production.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-71889698950286239672014-07-26T21:24:55.569+01:002014-07-26T21:24:55.569+01:00I've been catching up on your batreps mate, an...I've been catching up on your batreps mate, and I'm really enjoying them.
