They are cyber plague ogryns.. But as long as they dont have those ugly horns that plague latest nurgle releases I am happy - as they will be easy to de nurgle..

Slaneesh excess ogryns here I come!

Also this months white dwarf, well worth the cost for the mini game. It's good fun.

I got it for Venator gang but I am tempted by the game with some proxies.

Give it a try, I've heard it described as being a bit like magic the gathering in the way you cast and counter spells, But it's really just a very lice little dicepool game with a bit of resource management and tactical planning thrown in. It's not a game that would warrant a full GW release, But I could see it easily filling the role of something like love letter at game night , A 10 minute time filler.

I'm not a fan of the Nurgle guys but will see when the proper pics drop. The Imperials guys look ok but blurry.

I was surprised to see Archaon inducted into the Hall of Fame in the new WD, especially given it was chosen for composition. When I look at it my eye is drawn all over the place, I think its a messy-overly-detailed mini.

On the plus side I actually enjoyed a 40k battle report for the first time in ages.

I agree on mis-hall of faming.. Especially that model is quite new. I guess is marketing ploy to boost sales

So... A new boxed skirmish game , called rogue trader.
Mutants, inquistition agents, and FUNKY DISCO GROOVES.

(Is that what the guardians of the galaxy would be in the 40k universe? )

Aint no breaks on the money train....

This one really feels like GW looking at the blanchitsu/Inq28 movement and going "hey that's cool...let's make them a boxed game and see what they do."
I'm really curious to see what else is in the box, cus so far it looks like a really pretty mix of retro 50s sci fi, steampunk and body horror.

they took it down and reuploaded it after spelling the title as rouge trader.
You'd think after so many years they'd know to double check that ;)  lol

Still tho, Damn.
I like the look of the (waht i'm assuming is ) rogue trader, the woman with a big turtleneck and amazing hat. I like the medic ,the Jes goodwin style crewmen...
The mutants are a sort of chaos undivided mix. there's alot of nurgle in there for sure, but then I'm also seeing alot of general chaosy bits. they're also very mechanical..could be a rogue inquisitor/tech priest has been up to no good at the galactic edge?

Could it be a ship-bound version of Arbites?... and are those Chaos Dwarfs?!

There are some VERY interesting items in there :)

Damn, I'm impressed. It looks like GW has been researching their fanbase's creations. This is a must-buy.

I'm thinking this is a WHQ adventure game that narrates the fallout of a Gellar field mishap.

This does look good; and if it's ship-based I'd name the latter The Rouge Trader  :D :D
Red ones go fasta anyway.
