Brother Cambrius Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Greeting brothers, I won this little guy off of Ebay a few months ago and am not sure what to do with him, but i'm planning on painting him up in the colours of a Rogue Trader chapter. The only thing that's been bugging me is whether this guy is meant to be a character or not. Can anyone here shed light on how significant this model is? Thanks, Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Defiantly RT era. It appears to be a standard Corvus Pattern Beakie (if I'm wrong about the Armour type, someone will correct me) with an unknown weapon. Am looking through my copy of RT and cant find a weapon like the one you have anywhere in the book. So go ahead and make it some ancient tech that only you have.

Gurth Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The model is called Bolter 5, which tells you what weapon he's holding, and his GW stock number was 070121/42 — check page 10 of the Citadel Miniatures Catalog Section One from 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider-75 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 defo RT era was in the first blister pack of marines i bought ,along with the RT book and the RTB01 box set of plastics, to start me off as a little 14 year old. pretty sure it was originally listed as a bolter. came in the same pack as a "captain", a "heavy laser" and a "bolter" (yes, there were 4 models in a blister for £2.99......)

Durus Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Not RT early 2nd ed. Realesed 1991 as Space marine with bolter 5 http://www.solegends.com/citle/citle1990/n...SpaceMarine.htm The first release was earlier. He was already in the summer catalog of 89. He doesn't show up earlier than that in the the catalogs from SoL. I have no idea if they are complete though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Definately an RT mini, there was a whole squad of them on the Land Raider page in the RT rulebook (also: 1991 is RT era, 2nd edition didn't come out until the latter end of 1993) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Right, I have decided to honour this old veteran that I will paint it up in the Rogue Trader colours of the B+C's Legio. It'll give me some fun over the summer along with Operation Reclamation. :D Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeons Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 looks a lot like some early form of a reaper autocannon, actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The first Space Marine model there. I definately though this was the first marine mini GW produced as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
