Post subject:  Citadel Resin Orc Gargants?
Hello All!

Whilst rumaging through my collection I came across a pair of Resin Orc Gargants. At first I thought they were another companies copies, as I dont remember GW/Citadel ever doing Gargants in resin, however one of them still has a Citadel sticker on the bottom warning of the danger of eating resin so I guess I am wrong.

What can anybody tell me about them? Specifically, I was wondering what year they are from and were they part of a range of resin epic stuff that I don't remember? Also are they collectable? As I have a multitude of Gargants, these buggers are pretty much surplus to requirements so if they are worth anything I might move them on to fund other stuff.

Cheers in advance for any insights

They're quite rare and collectable IIRC.

Yes ... very rare and very collectable ... Could you post pics ? They were proto-types, if you will, from '89-'90, IIRC ...

Ok here are a few pics. As you can see one has been undercoated and a little paint aplied at some point in the distant past, whilst the second is unpainted. Both of them are filthy and dusty from sitting in my loft for years, a quick wash with some soapy water will bring them up nicely I fancy. Also there was a bag of metal components with them all of which seem in good condition.

This is the sticker that is still under the painted gargant.

Thanks for the info so far guys, from what you say it seems they are fairly rare then?

Cheers

Yep; fairly rare - I have of those myself. They were early limited run gargants, before they did the metal one. There were two sorts - the ones you have are the 'fat' one, there was also a 'tall' one:

Prices vary but at a guess they might be worth £30-40 or so each where you to eBay them (one at time better).

Yes, very nice !! Thanks for the pics !! IIRC, they are supposed to represent the Ork Gods ... Gork & Mork ... One tall and thin ... one short and fat ... At least that's what I was told, IIRC ... ;D ;)
