I might actually pick a copy of this up.

The imperial models look really cool, the other stuff is... not great.

He has a cog on his chest, but so do Techmarines.

I'd read more into the fact that he has an eagle on his habit/tabard.

So do the Arch Militant and other members of the away team, which may be a crest of the Rogue Trader herself.

Edit.

Nope, rechecked and they have a wolf symbol, interesting.

I hope the rogue traders end up for sale on their own. The Nurgle minis do nothing for me, and the terrain, while nice, is likely to affect the total price well beyond what I'd consider reasonable.

They all have different designs. The officer has a wolf, but the trooper with a partially visible symbol looks at least different, but maybe still a wolf. The assassin has a snake, and the veiled lady something more like a panther or lion's head. The medicae appears to have a ram's head, but it is blurry. Then the cogboy has a single-headed eagle. All very curious.

So to me this looks like it may be a board game, potentially could be similar to Necromunda in that it the starter set has a board and plastic bits but can be played on a regular table with a lot of scenery. It does however not look like it’s related to the Killteam release that’s been teased, different scenery.

Speechless......utterly.Speechless

I'll buy this, done deal. Maybe more than one.

Did we just get a Rogue Trader Necromunda band? Wht with the new Necro rules out this month and official trader minis, seems like a clear pairing.

Getting this on the strength of the rogue trader minis. Love them.

Just finished converting and painting a Rogue Trader, like, yesterday. This always happens! I painted up a load of Death Guard before the first Dark Imperium teasers dropped too...

Anyway, I will get this. 100%. I have a use for everything we've seen so far.

May be in minority here, but the Nurgle minis are also quite nice. They'll go nicely with the Poxwalkers I've been hoarding for Halloween.

I've got mixed feelings. Some good, some bad. I feel like it's got some Blanche flavor, but more of it is "trying to be Blanche". The Imperials look great (particularly for finally have some vaguely civilian-esque Imperials). The baddies look...crap to me. Trying too hard.

I'm lovin' the model options though for the good guys and the dog looks stellar, so I could see picking up a set and ditching the baddies to some Deathguard player (they'll probably have 40K stats regardless of the skirmish title).

The troopers looks like a boar.

It's being heavily implied that this is something akin to Silver Tower--one side is generic goons for a band of heroes to take down in their quest to do <insert random tasks here>.

It does look like there's a squad of 'good guys' to go with them so who knows exactly?

I don't think they are 100% Nurgle. Some ones like the one with the tentacle arm or the one with the belly full of Mouths look more like generic chaos-mutants.

Others like the nurglings, the maggots, the flys, etc... are clearly Nurgle based, and the poxwalkers.

EDIT: And they are all phenomenal

Strong miss for me.

Chaos vs Imperium types again. Yawn.

That's what I said elsewhere. I don't see any Nurgle-marks or anything like this. These all just look like warp-mutants of some sort or another.

Maggot and fly infested flesh isn't enough of an indication that they may be aligned with Nurgle?

The larger mutants / monsters carry a lot of the same cues as the smaller Poxwalkers though.

I think, like a lot of the Nurgle stuff in the last couple of years, they'll improve a lot once they're in the hands of painters who can make them suitably gory, grimy and grim. GW's studio style is great for showing off the detail of the product, which is what it's meant to do, but it's almost anti-Nurgle in its cleanliness and use of colour. Once we get some painters grimdarking it up on those models, they might be a lot more interesting.

The trailer's music was kinda Guardian of the Galaxy style right ?

Anyway I'll get the box just for creatures like the 4 nurglings, 4 flies swarm, 4 mites, 2 maggots and of course the little dog !

No idea why anyone doesn't like the Chaos models (actually not yet convinced they're 'pure' Nurgle - not enough recognisable motifs). The big guys will also fit perfectly with my Chaos Spawn which are made from the Chaos Warshrine bearer things.

GW just makes official versions of anything I convert, so if you want them to rush something out soon, send me money to buy bits for converting them and it's bound to happen. I already have a Sisters army, but I can always use more nuns with guns...

My body is ready

It is strongly reminicent of David Bowie's 'Fame.'

Certainly not the style of music I expected in a 40K trailer, but it was a perfect fit.

I think you need to re-read my post and perhaps take better stock on what the community is asking for;

40k COMMUNITY: "We're stick of Chaos vs Imperium"

GAMES WORKSHOP: "OK, here's MORE Chaos vs Imperium, have fun!"

You probably want to drop the whole childish "Whaa! Waaa!" thing too, it totally undermines any argument you think you have.

Rogue trader ships gellar fields fail (briefly) servitors and crew get possessed.

Possessed vs rogue trader crew

Okay, enough of that people.

I like the models, but is this a self contained set like that labyrinth of the necrons game, or is it more like necromunda?

I like that. So it's pretty much the ultimate "Oh [EXPLETIVE]!" moment in Warp Travel.

I knew the models didn't look all 'Nurgle'.
