It's so ridiculous ... but hopefully..

Damn. I really hope that unlikely happens and it is really true! Finally getting playable Rogue Traders would be a dream come true.

That's because it's the usual bunch of crap from Faeit, which doesn't even slightly match up with the preview video GW showed.

If there's an inquisitor Kill Team in the book then you can probably make a rogue trader kill team based on that, but this is some incredibly lazy click bait.

There don't appear to be any Kill Team seminars at Warhammer Fest, so the odds of this being immanent are pretty low.

If this were to come true...

I'm torn between suffering through any BS is worth it if we get a Rogue Trader, versus more Nurgle is so yawn inducing that I'd rather not see a Rogue Trader than get yet more Nurgle stuff.

But yeah, as has been said, what are the odds?

why would we have nurgle vs rogue trader? Wouldn't it be more interesting to see Rogue Trader vs... I dunno. Anything but nurgle?

And I love Nurgle btw. But I would imagine any rogue trader is screwed the moment they meet nurgle, because their ships will be infested, everyone will die, those that do will raise as pox-walkers, and the ship will become a plague ship, crashed into a planet to infect another population.

Genestealer cults (some cultists lead by a genestealer/broodlord), chaos cultists (figures already exist, from Dark Vengeance, lead by a chaos space marine), even xenos, would be more interesting. Orks like a good old scrap, why not Orks?

Agreed.

Why not Orks? Lack of respect. Xenos would be a great choice for all that wonderfullly heretical tech that could be looted, but GW tends to be pretty unsophisticated about these things and would likely go with an overtly high tech race like Tau, Eldar or Necrons. Would take some Mek's niftiest toys to elevate Orks to that spot, and people might still just see junk tech not worth grabbing.

But of course all that relies on this rumor being somewhat related to reality, and going off of the teaser video we've seen, that's not very likely. Teaser looked a lot more like grab this unit, grab an extra elite dude, punch other guys. I'll be happy if we get a good and complete rule set out of it. Any esoteric new models are icing that I dare not hope for.

Im not attached to the Rogue Trader stuff as it was a little before my time.

Im desperate for news on KT though, a starter box like shadow war would be great, maybe even smaller scale, like a troop choice + elite choice for two factions and then some ruins. maybe a little cardboard base to play on with the full rule book.

I just really want that streamlined fast playing game with tonnes of depth that battle companies seems to be (i want to play battle companies but my GF has no interest in LOTR) so we can have some quick games after the little one is put to bed without it going all night.

I'm more curious how many of these Rogue Trader will be female? Kitbashing a male model was easy stuff.

A Rogue Trader game would be a great way to introduce a new alien race, as the intrepid Rogue Trader goes beyond the borders of the Imperium in search of riches to bring back.

Of course the men finds a new lethal alien race that's trying to devour them before they can get back to their ship and head towards the relative safety of Imperium space.

Could be interesting dilemma between sticking around to haul more riches off to the cargo hold or get out before it's too late.

Faeit is such garbage. As unlikely as a Rogue Trader faction making an appearance in the a possible starter set is (I think an RT faction at all is unlikely in the new KT), what makes this rumor even less likely is that Nurgle would be featured. I mean GW has shoehorned Nurgle into just about everything over the last couple years, I really doubt they would do it again. Unless of course it was easy assemble Primaris vs. easy assemble Nurgle.

Not to say I don't think an RT faction would be cool, but if a human faction is included in the starter, it would most certainly be Guard (or maybe Inquisition, but I don't think they are making new models for this game). I'm guessing it will be Space Marines vs. Chaos/Necrons/ Tau/Eldar if the starter box exists at all.

I'm really expecting this to be just a book release with maybe a few bundles of existing models released alongside of it. Especially as the book is supposed to be 200+ pages long. I'd love to be wrong though.

Faeit isn't garbage anymore than Dakka is. It's a rumour aggregator site - not a rumour generator.

Rogue Trader unit? I have my doubts. I doubt it'll be anything more than a book, to be honest.

A Rogue Trader group would be pretty amazing, even more so if it were to act as the introduction pack of some new and fancy alien race (because Nurgle is overdone already).

I don't see it as realistic in any way though, if they were going to do RT playable groups it's more likely that'd have been done last year as part of the 30th anniversary.

Happy to be wrong though (maybe it'll be rebadged Cadian Merc/Marines vs whatever)

Rogue Traders would be awesome for KT, the perfect fit. Ive been saying it for years, along with Inquisitorial groups. GW are really missing a trick if they dont capitalize on these two iconic 40k characterisations.

Whilst we're at it id love to see Imperial citizenry/ship crew as well. Theyd be great for scenarios, conversions and could have a use in 40k games. Also more alien races could be introduced. Id love a game with a host of shipping containers, some containing xenos breeds (ala Dark Heresy) escaping during a climactic conflict between two groups

Ah, it's not quite the 'apples to apples' you're making it out to be though, is it?

Anyway, I don't think the particular rumor is true at all - seems overly specific in terms of army choice too.

I thought it was KT rogue trader? Potentially thats just one set. They may do other sets with different pairings in the future, specific scenarios and settings (e.g. on board an Imperial ship, on a hive fleet ship, in a necron tomb, on the rooftops in an Imperial hive, in an rctic research station, arbites precinct etc...)

Here's the rub:
Dakka is a rumor aggregator site but Faeit also generates its own rumors, same as Naftka and BoLS.

You know, those models....they look more just Chaotic to me than strictly Nurgle.

Lost and the Damned in the fyootcha is my bet.

Fleas, maggots, baby plague drones, weird big dude, cyperized pox walkers (and are those baby pox walkers in the corner?)

I needs them all

the other side looks like buck rogers style RTs

and more doors (I think I have enough plastic doors already)

No interest after seeing the minis. I'm not a fan of the modern cranked up to 11 nurgle asthetics and have never been a fan of the steampunkish RT style Imperial Army figs shown there. Pass.

Are we sure this is killteam? The terrain is completely different and the minis look like they are standing on tiles designed to look like a rogue trader spaceship. It looks more like space hulk than killteam. I think they are two different products with different rule sets.

Well thats unexpected, and really makes me wonder what they're doing with Kill Team.

Reckon that's from WD me...should be seeing it in a few weeks.

Or on Warhammer Community in about five minutes, going on previous breaking news!

Okay, so...

That brings up an interesting point. Remember the rumors about a Black Legion codex?
Lost and the Damned as part of that would make a lot of sense.

Yeah, this very much puts me in mind of one the stand alone one and done box sets thats meant to be played with just the contents in the box rather than Kill Team which is squad sized 40K.

I'm so excited!!!

Also not getting a specific nurgle feel to these models.

I do love the space doberman... but the human models aren't super clear. But the dog looks really neat.

THAT'S AMAZING !

Robot Poxwalkers and Nurglings !

Giant Nurgles Mutants !

Nurgle Fleas (different sizes), Nurgle Mites and Nurgle Maggoths !

It's just as great as Warhammer Quest : Silver Tower was for Tzeentch AOS



Here is what happened when you forgot to put the Gellar Field up, guys
