Hello,
As it says, have GW, or Forgeworld, ever made a model of the Emperor of mankind?
I found this, excellent model
coolminiornot.com/96851
But dont know if its a conversion, or not? not near my computer to search loads, driving for ever today!
If they didnt, any ideas for a good base figure as a conversion?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance John |

It could be a conversion, or one of the highly ornate Hitech miniatures. You might find one "as is" that fits the bill: hitechminiatures.com |

By GW or Forgeworld? No.
There are a lot of conversions and 3rd party companies, like SciBor who made them |

Fool! the God Emperor can never be depicted in miniature form, it is heresy. Inquisitor teams will be entering your system soon, prepare for CLEANSING! |

I like the expression on his face: He looks sort of middle-aged. |

You'd looked middle age too . If your frat boy Sons just Wreak your brand new car for a one nighter at the chaos god's sorority house. |

I had this one. A friend dropped a coffee can full of figures off on me before moving away and it was in there. Since I could not be certain if my friend got it as a recast, I could not sell it anywhere. I threw it away. |

So you threw away a figure because you "did'nt know if it was a re cast"? My bulls@@t meter just went off… |
| Mardaddy | 03 Jun 2016 7:26 p.m. PST |
Call it what you want. Site rules for here and Bartertown selling is NO RECASTS. So to sell it, I am vouching it is NOT a recast, saying "buyer beware" will get the ad pulled. Let's say it sells. (Worst case) They then demand a refund because it IS a recast. I now have to return the $$$, and suffer a bad rep and trashing on the boards for lying or being deceptive.
Not worth it. I have too many other projects I am far more interested in – I tossed it. |

And why didn't you try eBay? In any case, conclusively proving something to be or not be a recast is not possible without destructive testing and materials analysis. Sounds like a lazy maneuver. |

That's a damn shame, that figure would've been perfect. Balls. John |

I've read that the above miniature is made by 'Top Miniatures' I've googled it, but come with nothing. anyone have any ideas? John |

Ok, I've found this lovely chap on E-Bay, auction Lotsa Eagles, very ornate, I know the Emperor was in normal power armour for the assault on Horus barge, but, as its for Space Hulk, I like the look of this. I'll drill out the helmet, add a bare head, with greenstuff 'emo teenager' lank locks. Lose the 'Chaos leaf-blower' he seems to be carrying, and add a suitably Epic sword. John |

Ok, he's on his way, I've aquired a shed load of the original Imperial Army figures, some ready painted Imperial fist Space marines, its all coming together for a Space Hulk 'Assault on Horus's Barge' game later in the year. My only real deserter is now Sanguinius, the top dog of the Blood Angels, I need a suitably angelic fugure for him, wings 'un all. Any thoughts? ideas? John |

Well, as I'm having this discussion on my own, (have SO many people got me stifled?) lol. I found this chap, he looks suitably Sanguiniusllyness! link John. |
takes pics to show how the Halo figures compare, size-wise.
