ebay link (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Primarch-VULKAN-Salamanders-Miniature-40k-rare-limited-/120786340943?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item1c1f6d4c4f)

Since when did they make most of the primachs? or is this a 3rd party knock-off?
I remember there being a diorama with Russ but there seems to be half the primachs on ebay tonight...

Well, it would appear that some of these are recasts of the Kabuki Models Knights of Legend series. One, I'm fairly sure, looks like a recast of a commissioned piece Scibor did (Vulkan).

Some of the others, I'm not sure. I can tell you they PROBABLY violate eBays ToS because some of them are definitely Kabuki recasts.

Neat, but not official. I don't recall GW ever releasing official Primarch model kits.

They do have that look to them, thought someone would be able to come up with an answer lol

Someone asked about about plans to make Primarches at the FW seminar. Like they always do...its the most asked question since "will you do Thunderwolves"...GW will never do them

They are definitely not official GW products, I'm pretty certain they haven't ever done Primarch models. And I am not going to buy anything from anyone who lists their location as 'Warahmmer City, Germany'. Major copyright violation there, if he was a trade seller, I could see GW shutting him down.

They did make a Leman Russ. But that was quite some time ago and they didn't expand out into any of the other Primarches (that I know of).

That model is indescribably ugly.

Not much from the rogue trader-era was very... elegant.

Most of GW's 'classic' models are indescribably ugly. Why anyone would want to collect them is beyond me.

I knew I'd seen a russ one before, but that wasn't the one I was thinking of, thought it was a diorama with him on a throne and two wolves?

It depends, if you mean most of the stuff from the early Rogue Trader era then yes, if ou mean some of the stuff from 89-91 then some of the Eldar sculpts from then are quite nice.
