Bob Olley's Sanctioned Psyker


Sanctioned Psyker Rogue Trader Bob Olley Rogue Trader

Following my tour of Iron Claw's Space Pirates, I have a bonus Bob Olley miniature for fans of his work: one of the fabulous uncatalogued "Sanctioned Psykers" from the Rogue Trader era.

Look at that head! That half-cape! Those high-waisted pants!

I would love to have more information on this miniature, but I can't get much out of the Stuff of Legends or the wiki for Collecting Citadel Miniatures. I'm not sure of the year of production, or whether it was released under the imprimatur of Citadel or Iron Claw. I am guessing that this sculpt is post-1988 because the model is carrying a regulation laspistol. All of Bob's other sculpts from 1987-1988 feature weapons that are well-outside the standard WH40K formats, which became more standardized as time went on.

If you, dear reader, have any insight into the provenance of this miniature, I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

And if you are a Bob Olley fan, don't forget that he is still sculpting and selling original miniatures.
