This is a metal Rogue Trader-era miniature – the Ultramarines Captain in Artificer Armour. Sculpted by Jes Goodwin in 1990. Part number 070268/6 in the 1991 Blue catalogue.
These Servitors are designed by Jes Goodwin. This is the guy with the left-arm claw 072000/2 – one of two in the 8048D blister (the other is 072000/1, which I don’t have pics of just now – numbers from the 1992/1993 catalogue):
Marked as 1992. They also came with the Rapier cannon (8048A) and the Tarantula cannon (8048C). The other guy in the same blister:
This is a metal Space Marine Techmarine, shown as Techmarine 2 in the catalogues, part number 70085/2. He’s a Jes Goodwin sculpt.
Still a bit of the decayed foam stuck to him and a little bit of green on his back, but on the whole he’s a good pickup for the force.
Picked up this guy to add to the nostalgia metal force – one of the original Eversor Assassins from 1995, sculpted by Jes Goodwin.
The body was part number 010800304 with sword 010800305 and sentinel array 010800306.
Looking forward to getting some paint on him.
This metal Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon from Rogue Trader was a Jes Goodwin 1988 sculpt. He was part number 072117/28.

A 360degree video of it:
This Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Techmarine was released as part of the Company Command box set a month before 3rd edition hit, give or take – which would put him at being released in late 1998. Still using the same metal backpack as the older 2nd Ed. Techmarines, his sculpt is a mirror of the Captain with Terminator Honours and various others. It’s a 1998 Jes Goodwin sculpt.
In the 2004 US catalogue this miniature is part number 010110305 with backpack 010107503 and axe/hand 010110306.
A 360deg view:
I was painting the metal guys up as a Raven Guard successor when I got him, so he has been stripped for repainting in blue. The RG successor scheme:
All painted using Scale75 with the exception of some washes and a contrast – in the scheme of a Raven Guard sucessor that is as yet unnamed. Back when I was playing 2nd. Ed I called them the Harbingers, but that name is actually a canon chapter now (perhaps it was then too) so I need to find another.
