This model appears in the original run of Citadel Combat Cards as Gideon Fax, a Marine Medic in the Mentors chapter.

LE2 Imperial Space Marine – the first Games Workshop Space Marine in 1984
LE2 was apparently the first Space Marine sculpted in 1984, according to the 1997 catalogue! Other sources give his sculpting date as 1985, however, so I have marked it as Year: Unknown until I find a tab that shows it definitively.
He turns up in the 1991 Blue catalogue as Bolter 5, part number 070121/42 which is right amongst the C100 marines as far as part numbers go. He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt.
White Dwarf 93 has an entire squad of just him:
- Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
- Blue: Scale75 Art Cobalt Blue
- Base: Scale75 Red Ochre, drybrushed with a mix of Red Ochre and Honey Moon Yellow, further drybrush with a little bit of The White mixed in
- Gun: Carbon Black and Kimera’s Orange

Metal Space Marine Command Group Standard Bearer
This guy came as part of the Command Group box right at the end of 2nd. Ed. He’s a Jes Goodwin sculpt and was part number 010110307.
I think that says 1998 on the back – it would gel with the other models in the same box – but it’s hard to make out.
