Solved Help ID this Coatl / Winged Slann

[pendrake]

Found this while looking at pictures of the Dread Saurian. Does anyone know what model this is? who makes it? [...what it was converted from??]

 

[Warden]

The gold skull under its head is definitely a Warhammer-lizardmen bit; from either the temple guard box or the saurus cavalry box. Not sure about the rest of it, maybe reaper minis?

That's what I turned up. It just says snake toy and plastic wings, with some lizardmen touches.

 

[Crowsfoot]

The wings look like they are from the high elf griffin, not sure no the rest.

I think @Crowsfoot is onto something. Underside of wing visible for comparison.

Found two links where this model was featured, but that's it...

Wait nevermind, found it!!!!! Much more professionally done than my own coatl.

Most of the pictures don't show up unless you click on them. Looks like they were posted in 2011.



And judging by the WIP shots, it looks like the wings were plastic (probably from the griffin?) but the body was from somewhere else...

Spoiler: Sun Winged Coatl

Hope this helps, its an amazing model! He's got a lot of other good Lizardmen stuff too.

@Warden - that was very helpful. (Final piece of the puzzle.)

The Complete Answer

I posted this inquiry in two places: Lustria Online (the Lizardman Army forum) and ReaperMinis.

Between the two forums a complete answer has been found...

This is a converted model titled: Sun Winged Coatl, (created by Steve Foote over at Beasts of War).

It was built from the following components:
Body - Metal, from Ral Partha 02-471 Couatl
Wings - Plastic, from the GW High Elf Grypon, Isle of Blood set
Extras - bit parts from a GW plastic box set; either Temple Guard or Saurus Cavalry

It can be found in these places on the web:

The third link is Steve Foote's thread.

Many thanks and kudos to: Bowser, Crowsfoot, JoshuaSlater, Warden, and Xherman who each contributed parts of the answer.

I happened to find myself a real one will be here by the 29th

I also picked up the other one for its assumed rarity and general cool design
