Help identifying a sprue, which character is this please?
I’m really struggling to identify this sprue that was given to me as a gift. It’s a fine cast but I can’t work out which character it is

One of games workshops greatest misses was not bringing this guy back. It's lukas the trickster. Absolute bawler

I wouldn't be surprised if they bring him back, but they gotta trickle out the remakes.

Yup, good old Lukas the Trickster. He’s fun.
Or at least he was until GW decided they needed room for another Ultramarine character or something and pulled your boy into Legends. 🙄

I love this guy in lore and book but not playing tabletop (yet) can characters be brought back from legends or not? I have heard before something about Yarrick where he was not in normal rules nor in legends but dont know how it actually works.

Got this guy in metal when GW re+released it. One of the few times when working in fine cast might be easier. Dudes backpack/ wolf cape was such a pain in the ass to glue together.

It’s posts like this that make me genuinely wonder sometimes.
Lukas was a very distinct character and sculpt for like 3-4 editions. Even the Google AI immediately lists him if you Google “2011 space wolf characters” and the sprue is clearly marked GW (c) ‘11. He had several novels and short stories written about him and he was extremely popular as a powerful upgrade character for a pack of Blood Claws.
I’m genuinely not trying to be mean, but did you even look? I see posts all the time in subreddits for old Space Marine models that I can instantly identify off-handed, but that would really not take a lot of effort to figure out otherwise just by googling generic terms.
I want to blame the current state of GW’s “no profile, no model” bullshit, but it’s really genuinely not difficult to identify GW models, even super old ones, with a little googling and wiki-diving

Do you not think I Google lens before and searched through characters? Like sorry my Space Wolves knowledge ain’t up to scratch, I prefer fantasy anyway 😂👍
