Have you ever seen a wizard with a submachine gun? To be honest not many of us have. Games Workshop use to do wacky releases back in the 1980’s and this was one of them. The very first Space Marine was one of these releases as well if I remember correctly too!
One collector has what may be the only sealed copy left in the world, and it’s up for auction right now on eBay.
Painted Example
