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)

cheers

Hi Steve, the second arbiters figure looks as though it has been based on an SJS judge with shotgun from the Judge Dredd range. Different head, and bolter added, along with a couple of other things...

Nice finds though.  ;)

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

The trooper with the dome helmet seems to be the basis for the later Cobalt range of miniatures. Nice finds!
