![]() Even if they did just that, and gave it to all the Starstriders as well as the Rogue Traders themselves, I'd be happy. I'd also like to see Rogue Trader become a Faction Keyword, rather than just a Keyword. ![]() I haven't check the updated download that just came out today I'm kind of afraid to, because if the Imperial Agents Data Cards have been significantly changed, or outright removed, it could shatter my dreams of having 3 small Rogue Trader factions that could be fielded as kill teams or small but fully realized 40k detachments. I say this is likely because it is exactly what they did in the original Imperial Agents Data Sheet Download. If Rogue Traders were updated in either WD or an Imperial Agents Dex, I suspect that GW would make a Starstrider type team out The BSF explorers and the Escalation explorers. ![]() ![]() The BSF characters, however, were released as individuals, which would come to form a sort of kill team over the course of the game, despite a lack of shared keywords. The reason the Starstriders have effective faction rules is that they were packaged as an established team. If they do that, then I can anticipate future WD articles will cover the same sort of updates for Rogue Traders. I'm hoping for at least 1 relic and 4 strats for each Ordo rules to include them in armies of their respective chambers militant, either as allies, in which case they don't interfere with or benefit from the unit's chapter tactic equivalent, or as commanders, in which case they add the Ordo Keyword to all of the units of their respective chambers militant. In fact, I am really hoping that they'll go further on the Inquisition. But GW has fixed the Battle Brothers rule for Assassins and Sisters of Silence I suspect they'll fix it for the Inquisition in next month's Dwarf. If you field the Vanguard, however, there are not enough Astra Cartographica Models left to form the Supreme Command detachment, which means there is no way to field all 3 rogue traders and Elucia's retinue in the same army.Įither the Supreme HQ or the Starstrider Vanguard can be in the same army as any other Imperial detachment, which means that strictly on the level of game mechanics, it is absolutely possible to field either of these Rogue Trader detachments in armies with Space Marines and Imperial Guard and yes, you could even choose to make the Rogue Trader you warlord.įrom my perspective, the limitations are kinda problematic. This means you can field the Starstriders as a Vanguard Elucia has a warlord trait that gives her +3 command points, so if you field this Vanguard Detachment, you can get 4 CP out of it, and they even have 8 strategems. This means you can put all three in the same Supreme Command detachment, but it's literally the only detachment you can make with Janus Drake or Neyam Shai Murad since there are no other units with the Astra Cartographica faction Keyword.Įlucia Vhane has the Euclidian Starstriders Faction Keyword, and there are 4 other units with this trait: 3 elite characters and one 5 man + 1 dog troops choice. There are three rogue trader models currently in print and all 3 are HQ choices, but that doesn't matter, since their Faction Keywords are Imperium and Astra Cartagraphica and none of them have any special exemption to the battle brothers rule.
