Note very early use of the term “Chaos Marauders”.

Guardsmen Heely was the figure used for my very first RPG character, Treson the Fighter, D&D Basic Fighter (Chaotic). He reached the dizzy heights of 10th level! This took, as I recall, about 20 minutes of hardcore play.

Tragically Treson was lost in The Warp when a parental tidy up consigned his character sheet to the bin. The figure vanished at a later date as well. (By modern standards Guardsman Heely was about the size of a 1:72 Airfix soldier).

Gorgos the Thromb. From AD&D/Call of Cthulhu scenario Ancient & Modern published in White Dwarf 81, September 1986. Steven Beggs, 1986.

From Marks & Spencer Dungeons and Dragons Sticker Book. 1985.
