Wounded Space Marine Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Metal
This guy is different to the Casualty, who was sculpted by Bob Naismith. I can’t find who sculpted this guy – he’s shown in the RT3 flyer with no credit.

Metal Space Marine Rogue Trader Captain Dozier
No tab on this guy, unfortunately! He goes by Bionic Eye and Chainsword, part number 070119/35, in the 1991 catalogue. Thanks for sending him to me, Sebastian!
He seems to be named after William Dozier who played the Narrator of (and who was the executive producer of!) the 1960s Batman TV show.

My paintjob:
- Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
- Blue and Guilloche: Scale75 Art Cobalt Blue, highlighted with Kimera The White, shaded with Carbon Black
- Base: Scale75 Red Ochre, drybrushed with a mix of Red Ochre and Honey Moon Yellow, further drybrush with a little bit of The White mixed in
- Meltagun: Black Metal, then Thrash Metal, then Speed Metal, then White Alchemy. Shading with Carbon Black. Heat bloom Kimera Warm Yellow, then Orange, then Toluidine Red, then Phthalo Blue Red Shade, then Violet, then Carbon Black
- Eyes: Scale75 Art Spring Green, shaded with Carbon Black, highlighted with Cold Yellow and The White.
- Red: The Red, then Scale75 Red Ink SART-74, then Black Ink SART-79 in the recesses, then Cold Yellow for the highlights. Some Carbon Black + The Red for shadows.
- Yellow warning sign: The White, then Cold Yellow, with Carbon Black for the exclamation point.
- Black: Carbon Black, highlighted with The White
The one new thing I tried this time around was doing the heat bloom on the meltagun with a brush rather than airbrush. I didn’t much care for the recessed eye lenses – they were difficult to paint and also to get light to for the photo!
