Rogue doc needed a mediskull? A mediskull is great to have sure, but for a rogue doc? Does a rogue doc even need a model?!?
New models incoming

Most of the hangers-on have this problem that you only need the model when things have gone very wrong, i.e. when you roll badly as the defender and they take part in the battle.
I still like making models for my henchers, but you could just use a generic token, considering how rarely they come up.
I was talking to a staff member in my local GW over the weekend about Blood Bowl and he was saying that, if they run out of new teams, they could release side-line kits (coaches, apothecaries, cheerleaders) for each of the teams.
To be clear, he's just shop staff. I'm not suggesting this is any kind of insider-knowledge, just speculation or wishlisting. But I guess it reflects a mindset that people will want to collect and paint more models, even if they're not really necessary.
(I do think it less likely for Blood Bowl though. There are a lot more teams, so they wouldn't be likely to shift enough boxes to make it worthwhile.)

They already have released sideline staff. Lots of cheerleaders and several referees. No wizards, coaches or assistant coaches as far as I remember. Don't really need wizards though, should be more than enough from fantasy/AOS.
They released a few, but he was talking of a second plastic box for each team (more like the prospect/champion boxes for Necro gangs).
That's the thing. Very few missions have Hometurf Advantage. And half of those will see a rogue doc on the battlefield. If you have one. And to top if off, rogue doc now gets an additional model!! Both Rogue Doc and Mediskull are ancient, released around the same time around 2017/18 I think. Now, 8 years later they are combined together. Clearly based on the sculptors discretion. Sculptors who never played the game nor read the rules? Looks cool though and is thematic. But way too late.
As @SuboptimusPrime said you could use a token. Now the token got a token

You could be right. I assumed that the crouching dude with the long-las couldn't be the dome runner as they can only have a stub gun or laspistol, but they may update that too. Might actually make them worth taking! Fingers crossed that you're right!
Well I’ve been calling for plastic civilians for a long time and finally we got some.
So, hurrah!!
I’m just putting a Big image link in so you can all bask in the… plastic.
I assume some of the older resin versions will soon be going OOP though as this plastic kit supersedes them.

OH!
OOOOooooohhhh! These are plastic. Thought they'd be resin. That changes things significantly.
Sorry wallet, this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you*.
* Not really. This is not going to hurt me at all. I might as well throw you (wallet) in the trash since you're just going to be empty all the time.

So, got a clearer view of the supposed Butcher-Surgeon for the World Eaters. Still not liking it really, but the arms could be good conversion fodder I think, especially the chain-knife-hand.
Why would they wear an apron? To keep blood and gore off their armor?!? Not very Khornate.
Clearly a union rule, butchers must wear aprons otherwise health and safety will be on your case.
It's an odd model. The apron as pointed out seems pointless but has precedent - lots of marine chapters enjoy a nice robe. The bit I find strange is the bare arms. Not just because they look odd, but because there's no interface for the arm sculpted onto the torso. The arms should look like they're coming out of the body, but they look like they're glued on. Which they are, because it's a model, but it shouldn't look like that. (Also there's no locking system/seal/whatever for if he was wearing his sleeves).
(Is this a secret new model leaked or someone's conversion?)

Yeah, even the Sisters Repentia have power armor interface ports on their limbs and back. Because I filed most of them off for the Escher conversions.
That Butcher model is obviusly a (rather poor)3D sculpt/print from a fan or third party sculptor.
Quality vise it is like 1995-ish GW and nowhere near todays sculpts.
