Just for clarification, this was written IN THE 80'S. This book contains less [[grimdark]] and more hair metal than most [[Neckbeards]] could stand before [[Rage|raging]], but luckily this book is a Venerable Dreadnought. No joke. It inspires awe and sometimes even tears in neckbeards, its legendary reputation has been passed down for centuries, and it has a wealth of information with which to aid anyone in their quests to create homebrew rules or craft inspired custom models. The [[Beakie]] and the [[Squat]] call this book home. This is the impenetrable fortress which crusty old neckbeards sometimes fall back to to defend their points and rage about how things suck in 5th Edition; and its reputation alone makes all but the hardest-core troll or newest newfag concede defeat. This is where fluff reigns supreme, and everybody was [[awesome]]. | Just for clarification, this was written IN THE 80'S.

Remember when GW was good?
Remember when Space Marines were the coolest Wombles ever?
Remember when Warhammer 40,000 wasn't all about depressing GRIMDARK, at all times?
So do we.
Welcome to Rogue Trader. Make sure your rose-colored glasses are on nice and tight.
((Warning: Contains dangerous amounts of 80's))
Not to be confused with the new Rogue Trader RPG.
Background
This book was written WAY back in the day when all Games Workshop put out was Warhammer. As in the fantasy kind. But people back then would look at you funny if you asked them which one they were talking about because THERE WAS ONLY ONE. Anyway, this archaic tome was created as a GW-supported add-on adaptation of Warhammer, so players could experience the new, futuristic world of Warhammer 40,000. Needless to say, some people though it was pretty cool.
Just for clarification, this was written IN THE 80'S. This book contains less grimdark and more hair metal than most Neckbeards could stand before raging, but luckily this book is a Venerable Dreadnought. No joke. It inspires awe and sometimes even tears in neckbeards, its legendary reputation has been passed down for centuries, and it has a wealth of information with which to aid anyone in their quests to create homebrew rules or craft inspired custom models. The Beakie and the Squat call this book home. This is the impenetrable fortress which crusty old neckbeards sometimes fall back to to defend their points and rage about how things suck in 5th Edition; and its reputation alone makes all but the hardest-core troll or newest newfag concede defeat. This is where fluff reigns supreme, and everybody was awesome.
This is the original source of Warhammer 40,000. At the time, this was the finished product, what the original creators intended. This IS Warhammer 40,000.
Pre-Heresy
Forge World released a long lineup of so-called "pre-Heresy" armor patterns. These include Mk III Iron and Mk IV Corvus patterns. These look just as amazing as you think they should, and really live up to the nostalgia. Forge World also put out a weapons pack, which has "pre-Heresy" patterns of special weapons, Missile Launchers, and Bolters. This means that Forge World modeled weapons after old Rogue Trader pictures. You can now have your banana-clip fed Missile Launchers and you AK-47 bolters; for Forge World prices. Acceptable losses, though; everyone should have these models.
