Just bought a "fallen angel marauder" I don't actually see a record sheet for it

[Sazzlefrats]

Anyhow, looks like I'm going to disassemble it and re-pin it. I just thought to check to see if it had its own record sheet or if it was just a marauder of some sort.

Sounds like a custom kitbash.

Ah. Google is my friend, I see what I suspect you bought.

That looks like a badly cast illegal reproduction of an old Fan-made mini, the Dark Angel. Suspect you got it from someone in Washington State, where a very well-known repro caster lives? A real Dark Angel looks like this:


(painted by our own Savage Coyote, CSO artist)

The genuine Dark Angel was made by folks on the Lords of the Battlefield forum, and a limited number produced. I have one. Crisp, clean details. If what you bought is the thing above, unfortunately you've been ripped off - it's apparent that there are lots of casting issues, even after a heavy coat of white paint.

Pro tips - don't buy from Washington State. Don't buy minis which show up slathered in a heavy coat of paint, which is designed to obscure problems caused by cheap & nasty recasting.

Lots of advice can be obtained from the members here. Sorry for your bad luck.

The Dark Angel mech is basically a Penetrator, stat wise if I remember correctly.

Didn't get it from Washington state (so maybe I dodged a bullet?! And if I didn't its not a concern). Its a great looking model, mine looks the same, I think once I strip mine (too much glue and greenstuff on the joints) and re-assemble it'll be fine. Back to the real question... what record sheet should I be using.. Marauder or Penetrator or something else?

Since I liked that google image so much I think I'll paint mine up the same way or similiar. Might be two weeks before I do it though.

I don't know if it's still out there, but I have a PDF labelled as TROLOTBv1.1 that has the stats for the Black Angel.

Just Googled it, it's still online.

Yep, Black Angel.

This particular repro seller is out of Arizona. Has been around for a few years.

On a positive note, last month BV Traders announced that they were producing a limited run of the Black Angel 2. It's the original BA sculpt modified by Joel Hardwick. Find them on that facebooks machine for pics. It's certainly a better quality casting than that turd repro from AZ.
