Title: Several new unreleased Rogue Trader adventurers discovered (Bryan Ansell)
Post by: bridgend_steve on 02 November 2013, 09:58:59 AM: Hi all,

over the last few weeks I've discovered FIVE previously unseen Rogue Trader adventurers in Bryan Ansell's collection. Some of them are illustrated or described in the original Rogue Trader rulebooks, but the miniatures haven't been seen before. I've been in touch with Bob Naismith and he informs me he sculpted the lot of them. I've also been able to solve a couple of Rogue Trader mysteries based on these figures.

Check them out here:

- Adeptus Arbites

- Adeptus Administratum

- Trooper

- Unknown (but a couple of mysteries solved)

Nice finds though. ;)

I agree Ray - someone left a comment to that effect.
