This metal Warhammer Fantasy Battle miniature appears in the 1991 catalogue as part number 073167/6. It’s a 1989 sculpt as per the tab, though unfortunately I can’t find a single sculptor credit. The mini it appears to be based on was sculpted by Jes Goodwin.
This was one of those miniatures that you get in your hands and realise that there are details which weren’t at all obvious in the catalogue picture; I had no idea he had an exposed brain, and it was only really when it was undercoated that it was clear. Always a pleasure to find unexpected details!
I base coated him with an airbrush – red from below, green from above:
