  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Harris aka Bolter 13

    Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Harris aka Bolter 13

    This guy was first seen as Brother Harris, and later as Bolter 13 which was part number 070106/3.

    He’s a 1987 sculpt and was shown on pages with minis sculpted by either Aly Morrison or Mark Copplestone – I’m not sure which of those two sculpted this fellow. The sticking plaster across his nose is a lovely touch.

    He shares most of his sculpt with Marine Medic 01 from 1987.

    You can see him in WD99:

    This guy was shown as Sergeant Burgess early on and later Bionic Eye and Bolt Pistol, part number 70119/25. A 1988 sculpt.

    Potentially named after Burgess Meredith – though that would give him two Marines named after him!

  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Stalker

    This Rogue Trader Space Marine went by Brother Stalker and was a Bob Naismith sculpt.

    He has an unusual set of proportions in his beaky helm – making him look more mouse-y than most!
