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.
You can see him in WD99:

Metal Rogue Trader Officers – Captain with Bolter and Power Sword
This guy was part number 070145/10 and was part of the three Officers set 070145/3 in Rogue Trader days. He’s a Mark Copplestone sculpt and appears in the 1989 catalogues.
Unfortunately he became detached from his tab at some point. No date on the back of the tab. I had a go at a darker skin tone this time, working with Kimera’s Oxide Brown Dark which is PBr11 – an earth orange pigment – mixing in some Ultramarine which complements it very well – to get variation in tone and pull it down to a darker tone without needing to mix in Carbon Black for the most part – just a little around the eye socket and under the chin. For the skin highlights I initially tried mixing in The White but it turned out a lot more grey and desaturated than I wanted, so I mixed in a little bit of The Red in to bring some colour back in, which improved things. I also mixed in some The Red with the base skin colour for around the eyes, nose and mouth.
- Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
- Blue: Scale75 Art Cobalt
- Skin: Kimera Oxide Brown Dark, shaded with Ultramarine Blue, highlighted with The White semi-unsuccessfully. Further shading with Carbon Black. I mixed in The Red around the lips/nose/eyes.
- Eyes: Mars Orange, Carbon Black for the pupil. The White mixed with Carbon Black for the eye and the attempt at an amber eye colour was Mars Orange.
- Base: Kimera Red Oxide, drybrushed with Yellow Oxide then white, then Natural Soil from Soilworks for the pigment.
- Green: Scale75 Art Spring Green, highlighted with Cold Yellow from Kimera, further highlight of The White. Carbon Black as the shade.
- NMM Gold: Kimera Oxide Brown Dark, highlighted with Cold Yellow, further highlight of The White, slight glaze of Warm Yellow
- Red: The Red, shaded with Carbon Black, highlighted with Cold Yellow, further highlight of The White
- Bone: Honey Moon Yellow, tinted with The White, shaded with Oxide Brown Dark
- Sword: Mars Orange and Scale75 Orange mixed together as the base, glazed up with just Orange and then Diarylide Yellow, then Cold Yellow, with edges of Orange + Oxide Brown Dark then just Oxide Brown Dark.
- NMM Silver: Kimera Carbon Black, Scale75 Cobalt and Kimera The White.

This Rogue Trader Space Marine went by Brother Stalker and was a Bob Naismith sculpt.
He has an unusual set of proportions in his beaky helm – making him look more mouse-y than most!

I pushed the blue darker to contrast a bit more with the sword and make it stand out. I had to try something different with this power weapon – the three facets on each side meant that the technique I used previously didn’t work out quite how I had hoped.
