Games Workshop Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon

This vintage Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon from Rogue Trader came into my possession – not stripped yet, but check him out:

 

 

Check out the socks and ninja thongs!

 

I can’t find who designed it – the 1991 catalogue I can find this mini in just says “Designed by the Citadel Design Team”.

 

 

 

Looks like GW 1989 on the back to me. I can find it in the 1991 Citadel catalogue under Forces of the Imperium.

 

Stripped:
