10 Weird and Wonderful Things from Rogue Trader - Snipe and Wib 

Dude, make a TTS Special that has Inquisitor ObiWan Sherlock Clousseau. It was be amazing!

I'm working on building a world for a game on Roll20, I will do this.

If Big Daddy Calgar doesn't beat Sicarius with his Dino-desk, I will be sooo disappointed in you.

Bruva Alfabusa luv you Bruva

That dunk desk better appear in TTS

I would suggest there be more art of him.

His parents really loved old movies from the ancient days of earth.

Need to model a proxy for this guy and his wargear.

Heretic! 2+2=5

I'm going to make my own Obiwan and have him accompanied by a batallion of rainbow warriors.

Your dulcet tones made it beautiful

People needs to see this! THIS is how 40k used to be, in all its glorious and ridiculous and shameless wonder!

40K Theories luv you!

im making the rainbow warriors as a army now

What is a go? Best line ever said ever.

Jody Schaeffer Thats not true but they are canon.

Cool. I knew it was something along those lines. The more you know!

They came back in Gladius: Relics of War as a non-aligned mind-controlling unit that can grab anyone that isn't a Necron.

@John Grammaticus after years of pain an suffering with dark crusade, FUCK THE FUCKING PARIAHS, space marines shouldn't be tossed around like baseballs

@@joehill4094 Necrons be like: "Ha, a space marine... YEET"

You have the power to make it happen!

Bring it back as a statted unit.

Jack Wagner nobody cares

"fetch"

Seems someone else brought him up in the comment section, at least.

Andrew Byron The what now?

Borbali () Illiyan Nastase, a Human/Eldar Hybrid which used to be the Chief Librarian of The Ultramarines.

eesh...

There was a short lived romantic relationship between and eldar seer and a human assassin. It’s canon and both left without trying to kill each other. Both races can have sex but can’t breed. Having sex with any race but their own is seen as having sex with an animal. No there’s not hybrids of human and eldar or tau anymore. True story

Also had a lot in common with certain *batman enthusiasts marines* as for selections. Psychopaths, war criminals, murderers, ye ol' jolly boys.

@@krashface4870 Ironically in Rogue Trader, Maccrage a death world and the Ultrasmurfs were the traitor legions and the one standing right now are nothing more but brainwashed, indoctrinated psychotic murderers, criminals and prisoners in order to replace the traitors one. All the marines are the same as I mentioned are the same as the new Smurfs.

@@longwlenguyen4214 While I know there is a traitor chapter of Ultrasmurfs, I'd love for a Rogue Trader 2.0 for players to experience a more wacky form of 40K ttg and with revised minis directly taken from the old ones (aka BEAKIES EVERYWHERE). Immagine having Nu40k for people wanting a more grimnoble universe, then the Horus Heresy as the true Grimdark and a Rogue Trader 2.0 as the purest basic of what Warhammer was: pure Grim Awesomeness and 80s Sci-fi (with a bit of more earth to earth sides to the lore that adds the unphatomable horrors of chaos, xenos and overall a sensation of true overwhelming for the Imperium)

@@krashface4870 Don't forget the art, the older editions art by Wil Rees, John Blanche and Tony Hough are so absurd, ironic, primitive, alienated, ridiculous, decadent, weird and utterly inhuman to the point you can't even tell if most human worlds are Chaos realms or imperial control, these arts show the Imperium lack of humans characteristic fit very well in a grimdark far future of 40k where there is no "good" guys.

@@longwlenguyen4214 to be honest, that is what probably sold early players

I like this

I always thought it was an early-design tyranid that got turned into furniture.

"Because, I, Cato Sicarius, am afraid of cyber-familiars."

yeah i think you might be on to something there, the rougue trader art ( at the good end) is very similar to 2000ad

Equal parts Judge dread, Dune, madmax

Nemesis the Warlock, specifically.

@@AndorianBlues Torquemada: "Be Pure, Be Vigilant, Behave!" The Emperor last words: "Be faithful, Be vigilant, Be strong."

I love this comment, largely just because that’s cool, partially for the zardoz reference.

"The gun is good! The p///s is evil!" -Khorne, probably

Hey, you never know what you need to fight heresy.

He shall send his enemies *TO THE SUPER WARP!!!*

lol nice

Isnt that like.... a mint nuke.

@@ultramarinescaptain3840 Oh no, Vortex weapons are WAY worse than nukes. They open brief tears in reality, creating the titular vortex effect that will start sucking in everything in the area and dragging it into the warp (Basically, Hell). In one of the Soul Drinkers novels, a Mechanicum Skitarrii veteran describes having seen a Vortex weapon detonated against an enemy Titan, that there was a pure black explosion that collapsed on itself and the titan and everything within the blast radius was just gone, leaving a perfectly smooth and perfectly hemispherical crater where the titan had been. Vortex weapons are so powerful and also, so rare that in the Imperium, you need to get special permission from Segmentum High Command to take one out of storage, let alone detonate one. Oh and there is a possibility that if you do set one off, the vortex will persist, sucking up everything as it randomly floats around the battlefield, potentially getting bigger and occationally there is a chance that Daemons could use the rift to invade the material universe.

there is another one that might chock you, i dont remember his name but he was half human and half space elve (that was the name of the eldars back then. also there where Space orks)

Ah, you mean Illiyan Nastase?

@Allister Ramos That's the one and he wasn't an inquisitor he was an ultramarine. Anyway the real biggest crime Games Workshop ever committed was getting rid of genestealer orks... or maybe the pariahs.

A half-xenos ultrasmurf? That would be impossible today.

Dunno. Now with Roboute being around and being BBs with Eldar, the probability of Illiyan being around ain't so impossible anymore.

big time i never realized it till i saw this video, i read 2000ad in the late '80s and stated playing 40k in the mid '90s

@@andrewescocia2707 Yeah, the influences are there, zany and violent fun!!

Wasn't there and entire ABC warrior storyline with the Imperium in it? Like marine terminators and everything.

leakycheese I think you will find the dinosaur is a dinosaur. The Tyranid is the early Tyranid, had five legs. I agree with your other comments though.

Col. Hertford And a read of this: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/auretioustaak.wordpress.com/2014/02/20/the-rarest-of-them-all-the-unreleased-protonid-aka-the-rogue-trader-tyranid/amp/

Hunter Slayer

Two's company; Three's the gm.

I prefers Loch Ness monsters in 40k universe being Plesiosaurs that time travels through warp gates over it being Tyranids

Tau Genestealer Cults

Anders Johansson I got a compete one :p had for about a decade

Damn, that's cruel.

Ii think the sisters of purification, due to pretty obvious similarities, became the Sisters of Battle we know and love today.

Oh Grox are in Rogue Trader already (page 212 of the main rule book, for reference) :) And yeah, we've wanted to do it for ages but just haven't had a scripted video in a long time to put it in!

Nah I think they all fucked off back to the exodite worlds. Speaking of which when am I ever going to see them have an army again GW?

Actually the Grox are carnivorous and angry creatures that require lobotomy in order to be tamed.

And interestingly, if you can find it, GW did rules for Grox in 40k a few years ago in a white dwarf - you could probably convert them to the modern game with a bit of work!

or Dinosaurs themselves time travels to 41st millennium through naturally occurring Warp gates

Where is this!? I need to see this for myself!

Dashiell Gillingham either Liber Chaotica or one of the old WHFRPG sourcebooks if I recall correctly.

*Swell Guy intensifies....*

Cro martini but RT did have a system for making robots... as well as vehicles. Later in White Dwarf they introduced a system for programming robots using cards and a flow chart.

The programming system was joy in itself to play, said no one ever. Thirty minute algorithms could be written to make solo play against a Knight titan possible, or a simple five line (or square in this case) bombot army was genius!

It is interesting but it's just perfected/true AI. We already have partial AI and it's a common sci fi concept that we will have true AI in the future. That's why it's not really featured here, if I had to guess.

I've always loved Mk. VI armor.

Yes.

It wasn't. I think the whole Horus Heresy came into existence to provide lore for Space Marine, which was an expansion for Adeptus Titanicus (the two later being combined into Epic).

Makes sense

I don't get it

More like good friends with Judge Dredd, where Stumm grenades come from originally. In fact GW "Arbiters" are basically Mega-City Judges "reporuposed" (ahem) into 40k.

*face palms*

That Eliminators reference gets a like :)

@@HellbellyUK Thanks!

@@HellbellyUK That was a surprisingly fun movie.
