Actually, no. The Citadel SF stuff made in the early 80s was their
Spacefarers range, which actually had more in common with the 15mm
Laserburn stuff. There was a set of Spacefarers miniatures rules, which
I've got around somewhere. The first pointy-helmet Space Wombles were a
set
of figures sculpted by Bob Naismith in the mid to late 80s, which went
on
to become the Space Marines we all know. They didn't have the flares at
that stage though. None of these were anything to do with Traveller -
the
only Traveller related stuff that Citadel ever did were the15mm boxed
sets
from the early 80s.
