Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This has been posted in news and rumours, but I think it's applicable to Agents of the Imperium as well since that's wherea Rogue Trader would fall. Warhammer TV just released this video: https://youtu.be/Wb9eMhoFg8I The Rogue Trader stuff definitely looks like it has a ton of potential for Inquisition acolyte applications. The Naval Armsmen look pretty dang cool especially, but looks like there's a Death Cult Assasin among the crew as well and other stuff easily used by =][= type forces. Here's a still: (with a tip of the Ordo Hereticus pilgrim-style hat to Frater fire golem) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347146-rogue-trader-skirmish-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks for sharing ! I was looking forward to a rule set. Now I need to buy the damn box for those bloody minis. I should probably just forward my salary to GW if the Killteam releases are this awesome. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347146-rogue-trader-skirmish-game/#findComment-5078037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBULENCE Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I need it, that assassin is a perfect start to the third Inquisitor I had planned Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347146-rogue-trader-skirmish-game/#findComment-5078045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Between this and Necromunda, it's a good time, model wise, to play the inquisition. Now I just need the rules to catch up.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 I’m kind of meh personally on the Necromunda models so far. When they come out with Arbites and Redemptionists THEN I’ll joint you in saying we’re doing good for models!

Plasmablasts Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Inquisition would seem to be a logical home for bringing some of these and the Necromunda models into the main 40k game. While a Rogue Trader faction would be quite doable, it seems to me that the constitution of the army would over-lap significantly with an Inquisition one, given both would be composed of eclectic teams of specialists. Actually, a Rogue Trader could be an alternative HQ for an =][= list. Looking at the teaser pictures, if GW had captioned then as “an Inquisitor and his Warband purge a Nurgle Cult”, I’d have had little difficulty accepting that. In terms of the Necromunda models, a Henchmen troop choice that happens to have the same war-gear options as the Necromunda gang boxes wouldn’t be too surprising. P.S. That chap with the electrical coils could make an alternative Jokaero.

librisrouge Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Heck, I’m hoping that this is insinuating that an Agents codex will be released nearby. I’m fine accepting rogue traders and inquisitors sharing retinue rules.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yeah, I'd be fine with Inquisitors and Rogue Traders sharing retinue options as well. It actually kind of makes sense since -- even though their roles are completely different -- both recruit similar types of "employees".

librisrouge Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 "employees". If by employees, you mean RPG-esque mobs of esoteric murder hobos and social rejects that can be put to some good use, then yes, we'll call them employees.

Hfran Morkai Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm not sure if I want to use these to build an Inquisitor retinue (with additions from the rest of the range) or as a Rogue Trader crew, so why not both?

Inquisitor Fox Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 ... you know an ex-Rogue Trader would make an excellent Inquisitor... just sayin'... But yeah, this game is an insta-buy for me. My collection demands it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347146-rogue-trader-skirmish-game/#findComment-5079167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
