Latest revision as of 01:23, 1 February 2020

When Rogue Trader was first released the Imperial Guard and Space Marines were grouped together as Forces of the Imperium and through until around 1992, there were a number of figures released which were loosely grouped as being part of the Imperial Forces but which did not clearly fit into the Imperial Guard, Space Marines or any other of what became the 40K races. These included Adeptus Mechanicus, Psykers, Assassins and Inquisitors and were loosely grouped together as "Forces of the Imperium: in the 1991 Blue Catalogue.

As was common in that period, figures were released as part of one range and then re-appeared shortly thereafter as part of another range.

This Collectors Guide is an attempt to cover all such figures from the first release of Rogue Trader in March 1987 up to the 1994 Catalogue. From the 1995/6 Catalogue onwards, the races were more closely linked together and the "odd" figures had largely disappeared.

Consulting the Rogue Trader Adventurers, Mercenaries & Pirates - Collectors Guide and the Imperial Guard To 1994 - Collectors Guide may also be helpful.


An attempt has been made to group the different types of figures together. Within each group, the figures are listed in order of release. Where a figure appears in the 1988, 1989 or 1991 catalogues, the details are shown in the figure description.

Adeptus Arbites

Three Adeptus Arbites figures appeared in the 1991 Catalogue as part of the Forces of the Imperium. A further four figures appeared in the 1993 Catalogue.

1993 catalogue

Adeptus Mechanicus

Eight Adeptus Mechanicus figures appeared in the 1989 Catalogue. When the 1991 catalogue appeared, one, the female servitor, had disappeared and two had been transferred into the Squat range.

Ogryns

The first Ogryn appeared as an Ogryn Champion in the Rogue Trader Flyer Part One. It reappeared as an Ogryn Hero in White Dwarf 88 and then disappeared.

The next Ogryn, a single piece figure, appeared in White Dwarf 110. A multipiece Ogryn with a one piece head and body and separate arms appeared in White Dwarf 112.

Ogryns next appeared in the 1991 Catalogue with two single piece figures, four figures with one piece heads and bodies and separate arms and three with multipart bodies and separate heads and arms.

The arms were common to both the single piece and multipiece bodies.

All those in the 1991 Catalogue were sculpted by Bob Olley.

The Rogue Trader Flyer Part Three also showed the Talisman Timescape range which did not ever see release as part of the 40K range although the figures were clearly drawn directly from 40K.
