I just got my hands on a limited edition Archaon on foot model. :D

I was just wondering what are some of the other limited edition models that others own or like?

I have the sorcerer that came out around the Storm of Chaos. I was also lucky enough to make it to GD '04 to get Archaon on foot and got some from other people as well.

There's also other Games Day models - 2002 (character on foot), 2009 (exalted on foot), and 2010 (sorcerer on foot - really like this model) were all Chaos models along w/ 2004.

I have Archaon on foot as well. I love this model :wub: The whole pose, stature of the model makes it great in my opinion.

I have plans to use him as my combat lord in my 3500pt list :P

I have them all apart from the Disk rider, which i was offered as a second offer on eBay but it was a dodgy auction so it refused it. These are all limited editions, i've not included old but discontinued stuff like Egrimm, Harry, Arbaal etc.

Dieter Helsnicht was on top of that Manticore in the olden days when Necromancers were WS7 S5 and A5 :blink:
This before GW split the Undead.

I have al those mentioned by Lungboy.

Yeah, it feels so cool :rock:

xD LOL

anyways, I keep collecting older models too, like Aekold Helbrass, classic Dechala, etc

And regarding the LE mounted sorceror, ...
Please take a look here:
http://solegends.com/citle/citle2000/prcod...aosSorceror.htm

The skull came attached, as part of the base from the model. It's a part from the rocks under the horses hooves. I noticed that the Limited Edition version is slightly different from the collectors model that nowadays GW sells trough its online store.

If you see with attention, you can see that the tentacles from the head of the horse, go far beyond the horns from the sorcerer. And, that there is a skull, behind the rear right hoof. And notice the talisman in the sorcerers neck and the rocks from the base. Now, take a look at the model from the GW store:
http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...ain_873x627.jpg

The tentacles are not as long as the ones from the LE version, and the skull is not behind the rear hoof, it's now located behind the right front hoof. No talisman in this version. Different (and better looking, BTW) rocks here.

Well, at least I feel I didn't spend such amount of money for nothing =D
(I spent like 40 pounds on this model, just a week before GW started selling it for 12 in their online store! :o

Cheers!

Not quite the same thing as you couldn't use it a WoC army, but it's WoC-themed and (very) limited edition... GW staff got a 54mm (Inquisitor scale) Chaos Knight as a Christmas present in, ooh, 2004 I think it was:

That ones got some minor conversion work (reposed the horse's legs and rider's shield arm so it wasn't just standing still looking bored, replaced the rider's horns, weapon swap for a flail instead of a disappointingly-small axe) but with those alterations it's one of the most enjoyable models I've ever painted.

Other Christmas presents in a similar vein (but not WoC) included a Trollslayer and Troll, and a Wood Elf Wardancer (though that one is WIP and partially converted so you can't see what it looked like originally). I've since converted myself a range of figures in that scale from other sources, including a Witch Hunter, Bretonnian Squire and Orc, plus many more but those are the ones I've painted so far.

In fact, come to think of it... painting that 54mm Chaos Knight is what got me started with my WoC army in the first place. Having done the 54mm version I decided to convert the same model in 28mm (not finished it yet though!) as a Nurgle Exalted Hero. Then I figured, might as well make a unit of Knights to go along with him. One thing led to another and a few years later I've got like 6000 points of WoC assembled!
