  • Metal Rogue Trader Space Elf or Eldar Standard Bearer Menhe Worldsong

    This guy was part of the RT402 Space Elf Command range and went by Menhe Worldsong. He’s a 1987 Jes Goodwin sculpt.

    In the later catalogues he’s part number 071519/29.

    Another copy, with the dragon standard (071519/26):

    One of the optional standards – the angel standard (071519/39):

  • Metal Rogue Trader Squat or Space Dwarf Mauser Von Dreyse

    This guy is a 1987 sculpt by Michael or Alan Perry for the Rogue Trader era of Warhammer 40K. He’s one of the Space Dwarfs / Squats.

    Like the rest of the RT301 Space Dwarf range, he has a gun related name – Mauser was/is a German arms manufacturer.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Squat or Space Dwarf Waltha Twelvebore

    This guy is credited to Michael and Alan Perry. He’s a 1987 sculpt for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Squat Standard Bearer Garand Steyr

    This guy was a 1987 sculpt for the Rogue Trader edition of Warhammer 40K. He’s credited to Michael and Alan Perry.

    His name seems to be a reference to Steyr Arms, an Austrian arms manufacturer.

  • Rogue Trader Squat Mole Mortar and Operator Warhammer 40K Metal

    This was part of the RTB3 Devastators box set and also sold separately. Designed by Michael and Alan Perry.

    As seen in WD99:

  • Imperial Guard Tarantula and Operator Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader

    This is the Imperial Army Tarantula and operator, featured in the RTB3 Devastator set as well as being sold separately. The 1991 catalogue credits the entire page to Michael and Alan Perry with Norman Swales, and I’m not sure which was responsible for this particular sculpt yet.

  • Old World Jack Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Metal

    I was expecting this guy to have a backpack bump on his back but he doesn’t; and it doesn’t look like one was cut off either!

    He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt from 1987 and was from the RT7 Mercenary line.
