The original model was a kev adams sculpt, but he did it for gw and they own the character. The miniature in the kickstarter is extremely close and noone can say they didn’t know they were trying to recreate a very slightly altered version of the character including his grot chum with banner. I am not at all surprised. Most of kevs sculpts have tried very hard to be distinct from his old sculpts. Hes avoided doing his incredibly popular night goblins I beleave for this reason. He also sculpted from concept art by other artists. This version is technically the second sculpt given the name, the original sculpt was just one of the many orcs kev put out that was later given the name ghazghkull thraka. I’m surprised the freebooters kickstarter was allowed to pass too. The only argument they have is that ghazghkull thraka has not looked even remotely like this in a very long time.
