This metal Rogue Trader era Mercenary miniature went by “Irn-Bonce The Squat”. He was also seen in the first Rogue Trader released models as “Space Dwarf”.
The front of the tab reads “SQUAT” and the back looks to be “G.W. 1985”. Bob Naismith has stated that he didn’t sculpt him, and since the page is credited to Bob and the Perry Twins I’m going to mark this down as sculpted by Michael and Alan Perry.
He can be seen in White Dwarf #95:
