This guy was listed as Captain Newmar originally and is Bionic Eye and Arm 070119/27 in the later catalogues. He seems to be named after Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in seasons one and three of the 1960s Batman TV show.

Can’t make out anything on this tab, unfortunately!

This guy was Brother Potter in the early catalogues, later shown as Bionic Eyes and Bolter 070106/4. He’s a 1987 sculpt.

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.
Here he is in the April 1988 flyer:







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.

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!




This vintage Rogue Trader Space Marine was known as Brother Ward and carries a bolt pistol and power sword. His name is apparently a reference to Burt Ward, who played Robin in the Batman TV show that ran from 1966-1968.

This guy is shown as Brother Napier in the early flyers and is part number 070119/33 (Bolt Pistol/Power Fist) in the later catalogues.
He seems to be named after Alan Napier, who played Alfred in the 1960s Batman TV show.
