The plastic Imperial Guard Scions are comparable in size to the current marines. The Space Marines are probably the worst offenders. :) Games Workshop has been pretty lax over the years with the scaling of their models in general. For some reason the Orks disappeared from the catalogues for the next couple of years. The Statuesque Miniature heads are really nice, and I imagine would work wonderfully for a female Inquisitor model. Unfortunately RT codes continued appearing in White Dwarf for a bit longer.
In May 1988, all codes were revised as part of the 1988 catalogue reorganization, and Rogue Trader became 4Nnn with a 2 digit suffix for the individual model. The initial releases were coded RTOn, which was expanded to RTNnn, where N mostly indicated the army. The miniatures went through several coding changes from 1987 through 1989, making classifying them more than problematic. The first armies appeared on the September 1987 Flyer / White Dwarf 93. The first 'Warhammer 40,000 (Rogue Trader)' miniatures are shown on the March 1987 Flyer. The original miniatures release had been the C100 Space Marines in August 1986 which had not referenced 40,000 or Rogue Trader. The popularity of the game and miniatures initially surprised GW, but it went on to be their best selling system.
Despite being announced in the April 1983 'Dragon' catalogue as a spaceship game, and then in October 1983 's Compendium 1 as an SF role playing game, Warhammer 40,000 (Rogue Trader) was launched in September 1987, following a teaser in August's White Dwarf 92.
