rogue traders are basically mercenaries, explorers, and traders who operate on the fringes of the galaxy and act as the intermediaries between the xenophobic Imperium and alien empires.
they could even have rules about racial rivalries and stuff, so if you've got those units too close to each other they start getting pissed at each other
like chaos used to have at one time for say, putting slaanesh and khorne near each other

do they still have rules like that?
i haven't looked at chaos in longtimes
Yes, you're not allowed to mix Khorne with Slaanesh or Tzeentch with Nurgle.
Khorne just wants to kill and Slaanesh kills because of pleasure. And Khorne doesn't like that.
Tzeentch is creating stuff and Nurgle is destroying stuff or something like that.

You can mix them if you play Black Legion or Chaos Undivided.

But you have to have units that bear the mark a Chaos God count as Elite choices rather than troop choices, don't you?
Like you could take Nurglings or what have you but suddenly Plague Bearers are Elites.
the problem with dogs of war, i think, and a problem they could fix with a 40k rogue trader army
was that there wasn't "normal" units, they were all special characters and units of legend
I couldn't just field Tilean assassins, I had to use that Vesper guy and his dudes.
If you make an entire army out of special characters, it's not going to be a popular choice because people like customizing and making up their own shit.
they could correct that with a rogue trader army composed of generic unit types and as many special characters as any other army has
Man, a Rogue Trader army would be fun as hell to play and paint. Could make for some fun combo games with BF:G and WH40K.

I love Dwarves so I'm supper happy about the Demiurg, and lizardmen have always been a favorite general fantasy race of mine, so an obscenely powerful horde of ancient creator space-lizards that scare the piss out of Tyranids gives me an infinite cornucopia of boners.

Mani have you ever been to Seth's Games & Anime down on main street in ventura? Apparently you can get hella discounts there. I sat down with the guy working there today and we played a demo game of the Star Wars miniatures game. Eh.

Dude, I worked there back when it was Ralph's Comic Corner.
I handled all the card games, tabletop games, and pen and paper games. It's how I got into the hobby.
40k has already tried to pander to the weeaboo fans with the Tau
why not allow fags everywhere to argue whether the fantasy land of Nippon uses accurate interpretations of samurai or ninja
I can almost see the veins bulging out of your head from the e-rage.
honestly mani people are the biggest fags about fantasy stuff coming from that country.
it drives me fuckin batty with D&D. couple years back, Complete Warrior comes out for D&D and includes a Samurai class.
people on the Wizards of the Coast message boards soak the place with their e-rage about how it is historically inaccurate of real samurai
historically inaccurate
for a dungeons & dragons class
for a class for a fantasy game
it just
blrght
nevermind that say, the D&D versions of the Paladin or the Druid have basically very little in common with historical origins or fictional portrayels of either of those things. Roland couldn't exactly summon a horse or cast healing spells, now could he?
but those kind of weeaboo fucks only care when their beloved Japan is slighted in the smallest way.
you could make historically inaccurate, grossly fictionalized portrayels of any persons or cultures coming from, say, Europe
but you dare do such a thing to sacred Japan and some weeaboo fuckerdoodle is going to lecture you about how inaccurate that is while pushing his glasses up his nose

And stuffing his face with imported instant ramen.
Then going to bed with his anime girl "love pillow"
oh and god forbid you add a country to your fantasy world that is actually a pastiche of different asian countries.
like the shou empire in Forgotten Realms
because then you get to listen to them bitch and moan about how things which are chinese and japanese should never be mixed especially since china and japan have historically despised each other
but hey mixing france and england to create brettonia is okay right
Am I the only one who doesn't see the connection between anime and the Tau? I think Tau look more like they're out of an old sci-fi show (yeah, I know the setting is already sci-fi) or battletech. Why are the Tau considered the weeaboo army?

Demiurgs are either less awesome Squats or hyper violent Jawas.
They are intended to be a new version of the Squats, Jervis even said so.
Their homeworld destroyed by the Tyranids, they now travel the galaxy as mercenaries and traders, like space gypsies in a way.
Oh wait we already have TechMarines.
like, composed of mercenaries of different races and shit
basically, like a 40k version of the dogs of war from warhammer
That or revamp the Dark Eldar into a an army like that, they're half way there already, they just need to stop wearing black.
Yes, I just read that one page.
and i am wondering about how complex it would be to do that to the gauss tubes instead of the eyes.
Yes this would be fuckawesome. I would be tempted to drop my 'nids for this (not that I ever would, but, y'know, tempted).

So basically what Dogs Of War were for Fantasy.
No thanks.
see i liked dogs of war in fantasy and i think you could make a similar concept work in 40k
obviously you think differently

So don't hold your breath.
edit - oh hey, I also made/painted an AdMech soldier over the weekend.
ch-ch-check it out

I liked them as a concept, but no one fucking plays them, and they're easily the most neglected fantasy army.

What about the new Fantasy race?
Maybe uhh
Battle Hamsters?
why not
