  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Gorshin with Needle Gun

    Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Gorshin with Needle Gun

    Not a weapon you see much of any more! He’s a 1987 sculpt, shown in later catalogues as 07016/15. His name seems to be a reference to Frank Gorshin, who played the Riddler in series 1 and 3 of the 1960s Batman TV show.

    He can be seen in WD99:

    This guy was first seen as Brother Leach, and shown in later catalogues as Plasma Gun 2 with part number 070121/50. He has a 1988 mark on his tab.

  • RT Space Marine Brother Harris

    RT Space Marine Brother Harris

    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:

  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Sergeant Burgess aka Bionic Eye and Bolt Pistol

    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!

  • Space Marine, Errant Armour Mark 8

    This guy is one of the few Warhammer 40K Space Marines to come with Errant Armour (Mark 8) and is a 1990 sculpt. He’s part number 70106/57 or 070360/1. I can’t find a single sculpting credit for him but I’d be surprised if it was anyone other than Jes Goodwin.

    You can see Jes Goodwin’s sketch of Mk8 armour in the Index Astartes Apocrypha book (will be from a WD issue somewhere I haven’t found yet):

    I painted this chap up as a squad leader for a Tactical squad, and did his left knee in chequered company colours. A WIP of his knee:
