  • Velasinn Doomdrifter Metal Space Elf Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Eldar

    Velasinn Doomdrifter was one of the standard bearers back in the Rogue Trader era – a 1987 model – and is a Jes Goodwin sculpt.

  • Eldar Space Elf Belgae Strongwill

    This metal Rogue Trader-era Eldar (or Space Elf) sculpt was done by Jes Goodwin sculpt in 1987 and went by the name Belgae Strongwill.

  • Eldar Space Elf Cdr Lessei Moondancer

    This metal Rogue Trader Eldar (or Space Elf) sculpt went by Cdr. Lessei Moondancer, who was a Jes Goodwin sculpt from 1987.

    Presumably Cdr. stands for Commander… or perhaps Commodore?

    This metal Rogue Trader Space Marine went by Brother Matthews in the early catalogues. He’s often listed as a Librarian online but he wasn’t ever shown as such in the catalogues.

    Rogue Trader Custodes/ Imperial Bodyguard

    This metal Warhammer 40K metal miniature is one of the first Rogue Trader releases, and appears in the March 1987 catalogue and is a 1987 sculpt. I can’t find who sculpted him. He appears to be the first Adeptus Custodes sculpt!

  • Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Female Warrior Gabs

    Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Female Warrior Gabs

    This lass went by Female Warrior Gabs and has 1987 on the tab. She’s part of the RT601 Adventurers range.

    I can’t tell who sculpted what in the RT601 range – the list of people who sculpted things on that page is Trish and Aly Morrison, Bob Naismith, Mark Copplestone and Jes Goodwin.

    She can be seen in White Dwarf #99:

  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Dimshade or Thaw

    This guy was Dimshade and Thaw in the early days and was later shown in the catalogues as Chainsword 1, part number 070119/22. He is a Bob Naismith sculpt, and shares most of his head sculpt with Breakout Con. It looks like 1987 on the tab.

    You can see him in WD93:

    This guy went by Star Raven, but had Time Lord on his tab. A rejected Dr. Who sculpt perhaps? He’s a 1987 Bob Olley sculpt.
