  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Inquisitor

    This guy always reminds me of Buzz Lightyear.

    Seen in White Dwarf #117 (Sept 1989) painted by the Studio Staff:

  • Rogue Trader Space Marine Vincent Blackshadow Sidecar

    This is the sidecar from the days of Rogue Trader. It’s an Perry sculpt according to WD99.

    As seen in WD99:

  • Metal Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Quiff or Lustgarten

    This chap was called Brother Quiff or Brother Lustgarten, depending on which flyer/catalogue you’re looking at. He was Bolter 12, part number 070106/7 in the 1991 catalogue. He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt.

  • RT Space Marine Captain Dozier

    This metal Rogue Trader-era Space Marine was called 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:

    An in-progress phone pic of his power glove – with what looks like a buzzsaw attachment on the back!

    • Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
    • Blue: Scale75 Art Cobalt Blue, highlighted by mixing in Kimera’s The White, shaded by mixing in Kimera’s Orange
    • Yellow: Kimera’s Cold Yellow mixed with The White and Orange for the chainsword. Right knee logo was Cold Yellow mixed with Kimera’s Purple to bring it closer to the army symbol shown in the 2nd. Ed. Ultramarines codex.

  • Metal Rogue Trader Officers – Captain with Bolter and Power Sword

    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.

    The backpack has a Praetor topper:
