Back in Rouge Trader, Marines were a bit more normal.
They were still superhuman,but more like juiced up psycho killers rather than the More Human than Human they are today.
The Marines interacted with humans on an everyday almost equal level.
This was probably a casualty of that storyline,the Military Policeman.
I used the Forge World Mk6 kit and based him at a checkpoint.
I grabbed the Field Police paint scheme straight from the Rouge Trader source book.

Damn Reg-ies, Red Caps, Fuzz, etc. The Rogue Trader pic of two SM 'Mercenaries' in a bar sitting there drinking ale amused me. Wouldn't catch today's SMs doing that! It's all blessings and purgatory and rituals... and stomping xenos!
Nice model - I like seeing mini-dioramas like this.
I've always been a fan of the Field Police myself (my Pop was an MP in WW2).
I gave mine beat-sticks made from RT-era plastic lasgun barrels, and used the scroll case thingys as trafic directing wands.
Background wise I have them as trainee Chaplains who enforce day-to-day rules/procedure amongst the line troopers, and act as combat controllers in battle.
Absolutely wonderful sir! You've done a really great job with him, I absolutely love it :)
That is some old school stuff, right there, especially the rank insignia. Makes me feel young again.
This is some brilliant oldskool goodness. Great use of the mk6 Forge World kits.
Am I right thinking they're slightly bigger than the current standard plastic Tactical Marine?
