So I have been doing a little research, and after reading through all of my old White Dwarf issues, I found this little slice of fried gold. Apparently Games-Workshop DID in fact make a miniature of a Rogue Trader. It was on page 66 of issue 118. Pretty cool, I found someone who is going to sell me one, so I am one happy camper. I scanned the page from my magazine and have included it below.

That's funny. About the same time I got the "Sub-Zero" assassin and Rogue Inquisitor from the same blister, a buddy of mine picked up the other two models in your picture from a different blister at the same local gaming store (Bryan's Legacy in Wichita Falls, Texas, if anybody else can remember back that far).

The irony is I always considered him the Inquisitor and my model to be the Rogue Trader!

I went through my Rogue Trader figs, and it appears that my copy of that Rogue Trader/Inquisitor with Cloak was stolen! (Though I appear to have two extra spare cloaks!)

But I snapped him up on eBay.

Strangely, again, I've always thought of that capped fellow as another Sensei model.

there's only one sensei model made.... the fat guy with chainsword and bolter

The whole adventurers line changed names and references so once or twice during Rogue Trader edition. some of them are also pre-rulebook. when RoC books came, they served as already available models for some of the characters depicted in the book (sensei is a good exemple). Others got re-injected into Confrontation to increase the list of models available. it's a bit blurry around 1990-1991 and then again with the release of 2nd ed.

the belly plate is hiding something, like excess of smoke meats...;)

They made a Rogue trader with power sword and bolt pistol, in the adventurers series. It came out around 1987. If you happen to have the 1986 catalog laying about, he is on page 37, mold number 072117/31. I have one around somewhere, if I can lay my hands on it I will send you a PM.
