This Imperial Heavy Infantry is a Bob Naismith sculpt from the earliest Rogue Trader releases. He’s also shown in the later Mercenaries range as “Space-Dout Sam”.
This 1987 Aly Morrison sculpt (someone had been watching Alien… Trooper Vaskez also features in this range) is for the Imperial Army in the Rogue Trader era.
This was one of the first Rogue Trader releases and is down as an Imperial Heavy Trooper. He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt, and shares the same basic sculpt as the Imperial Heavy Infantry.
For something different, I tried painting using four paint pots in four hours – so I picked a Zorn palette:
Red: Kimera’s The Red
Yellow: Kimera’s Cold Yellow
White: Kimera’s The White
Black: Kimera’s Carbon Black
In the end it probably wasn’t the best mini choice for testing out that colour scheme and trying to use such a limited palette; I don’t think my NMM skills are sufficient to get enough separation from the grey uniform with so few colours!
Female Trooper Vaskez (someone had been watching Alien) was one of the Rogue Trader sculpts for the Imperial Army (later Imperial Guard). She is an Aly Morrison sculpt from 1987.
