It is of course none other than the "trooper" that came to light last week! So a big thank you to those of you who pointed this out; no idea how I missed this one...

Unreleased Rogue Trader Trooper: another mystery solved
Last week I reported on the discovery of an unreleased Rogue Trader era "Trooper" sculpted by Bob Naismith. I also reported previously on a further mysterious figure that can be seen lurking in the background of an image from the original Rogue Trader rulebook. Well, a couple of sharp-eyed readers of this blog have left comments regarding another mysterious figure in the this image, which I completely missed, the "8 ball head", circled below:
Love the lurking Orks in that diorama!

ReplyDeleteSilly typos.. What I was trying to say is this means there is at least 2 of these minis out there :-)
ReplyDeleteThis got me to look a little more closely to this pics to realise that Both Oldworld Jack and his astronaut version are on this page but I've also won him and th e2 lads next to him on the right. Lucky !
ReplyDeleteThese were molded up and the molds spun so who knows what lurks in a box somewhere!
ReplyDeleteSo do you think the painted version is buried in Bryan's collection somewhere?
ReplyDeleteIn theory there's a good chance of that BUT I've seen lots of Bryan's painted RT adventurers gathered together and that figure wasn't among them.
DeleteSOMEbody must have old '8-ball'!
ReplyDeleteHowever, what I want to know is...who's the strange looking 'thing' third from the left? In front of the guy with the hat and rifle?
