This guy goes by Brother Lestrade, Brother Leanman or Bolter 9, depending on which catalogue/flyer you are looking at. Part number 070106/5.

He’s listed as Brother Lestrade in the Feb 1988 Astronomican, and Brother Leanman in the Sept 1987 White Dwarf 93 RTO1 listing and in the Feb 88 flyer.

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.

The bone was done with a mix of PR3/Art Black as the base, then built up with a mix of PBR24 and Art White. I struggled with getting contrast on the bone with the subtle edges on the horns of the chest skull piece, so I used some Targor Rageshade to help out.
