[Archive] Chaos Dwarf with Great Weapons A and B

Time of Madness:

GW produced 2 metal big hat chaos dwarfs with great weapons in the late 90’s. These are commonly refered to as A and B.

They pop up on ebay every now and then, but go for crazy high prices. Here are a couple that sold recently for $45 and $48.

At some point an unknown individual took it upon himself/herself to recast A and B with 2 different style heads. It looks like this person took 2 hats both from blunderbuss models and swapped them with A and B, essentially making 2 different models (I assume for variety purposes).

I was lucky enough to come across several of these models on ebay for a relatively cheap price to add to my existing collection of them. I figured I’d throw up a picture to share since these don’t come up very often.

The models themselves are brilliant. The metal seems to be the exact same as regular GW metal and there are no obvious defects or miscasts.

This pic shows some regular A and B models mixed in with what I believe are recasts.

Yep, those are recast. I only have the original A & B, but the hat swap looks great.

Abecedar:

I only have 2 each of Mr A & B’s and have given up trying to get the other ones.

So colour me green and call me jealous

Zanthrax:

Fantastic - I have a few of a and b so will have to keep my eye on eBay as well for those dudes

I know I should have bought them...:) I regret now but I'm glad it's someone of us who bought them:)

I'm really intrigued by the fact that they are recast or not. Several people said that they got them FROM GW. And many others told that it wasn't possible...

Time of Madness:

As far as I know they are definitely recasts. Unless GW just never released them, which I feel is pretty unlikely.

What sets them apart is how well they are done. The hats have been switched but still the eyebrows/all the little details. The pewter seems to be exactly the same as the pewter GW uses.

KingFisher:

What do you folks think is a fair price for these models?

I see them for about 65 usd on ebay now.

I would say between 5 and 10. 65 is certainly way to much.

Time of Madness:

The 2 that sold recently (not buy it now ones) sold for $45 and $48 in an actual auction format.
