Rogue Traders are unique and powerful individuals who serve as a combination freelance explorer, conquistador
and interstellar merchant for the Imperium of Man. They are hereditary Imperial servants and nobles, given a
starship, a crew, and sometimes troops of the Imperial Guard and carte blanche to roam those worlds of the
galaxy that still lie beyond Imperial control or knowledge. In their task of exploring and exploiting the
still-uncharted regions of the galaxy for Mankind, Rogue Traders might come across worlds harboring
long-forgotten human civilizations which will be later incorporated into the Imperium by official Adeptus
Mechanicus Explorator fleets and expeditions of the Imperial Navy and Imperial Guard. Other times they find
empty or alien-dominated planets ripe for colonization, conquest or exploitation by the Imperium and
themselves.
• Special Rules:
All Rogue Trader Warbands may select Commlinks/Microbeads at +5 Throne Geld per fighter. If selected, all
fighters must be equipped in this way.
Xenos Friendly: While strictly forbidden by the Imperium, many Rogue traders allow Xenos members to become part of their crew. Any Rogue Trader warband may include up to 1 Xenos in any of the following ranks:
Arch-Militant, Crewman. That model may select weapons appropriate to its rank and race from the Xenos
weapons lists, at maximum cost.
Traders: In a campaign setup, the Rogue Trader might use his Warrant of Trade with other players, thus he
can trade at the end of each game with other players to buy and sell what is in their stash. The price of goods
traded is up to the players involved in the negotiation, but the rating increase is adjusted by the standard
bazaar price
Pirate’s scums: Rogue traders present an inviting target for pirates and are constantly under threat of pirate
raiding parties. As such, non-Construct Rogue Trader warband members suffer from hatred when fighting
members of a Void Pirate warband.
Profit Factor: The prestige and pedigree of a Rogue Trader’s Warrant of Trade is measured in terms of raw
profit and influence. Most Rogue Trader dynasties control vast amounts of capital, from hard currency like
Thrones to large networks of agents, contacts, and investments across a dozen worlds. These resources are all
tied to the Rogue Trader’s Warrant of Trade, the priceless document that grants him his authority and provides almost endless opportunities for success. Each charter (see below for further details) has its own profit
factor:
Charter of Commerce: After each game the warband gains an additional 2D6 TG income.
Charter of Exploration: After each game the warband gains an additional 3D6 TG income.
Unknown Charter: After each game the warband gains an additional 1D6 TG income, add +1 to the result of
the Number of Rare Items they can get to a maximum of 3 during the trading sequence.
Xenos Trader: After each game the warband gains an additional 2D6 TG income.
Rogue Trader Warbands must select one of the following specialties upon creation. This specialty may not
be changed or removed once selected. Please note that some specialties may have adverse effects when facing
certain opposing Warbands.
• Charter of Commerce: The Warband is part of a vast commercial organization dealing in nearly any trade
item. It reduces the price of all rare items in the bazaar by 1D6. (Ex: Carapace Armor’s cost is 60+3D6; it will
pay only 60+ 2D6 and no additional cost on uncommon items).
• Charter of Exploration: The Warband travels beyond the boundaries of the Imperium in search of lost
human colonies, STC technology, and more. The Warband increases its Investigation Rating by +1 and
fighters may use weapons from both the Xenos and human weapon lists (so long as their rank allows it).
The warband’s Subversion Rating is lowered by -1 but its Investigation Rating is increased by +1.
The warband must include one (1) Ad Mech Enginseer to reflect its focus on lost STC Technology. Check the
Ad Mech Warband list for further information. Charter of Exploration has access only to 0-2 Arch Militants
if it selects one Enginseer.
• Unknown Charter: The Rogue Trader’s family line was given a charter when the Emperor walked among
men and its details have been lost over time. One of the Rogue Trader’s weapons (Pistols & Basic weapons
only) receives the Master Crafted upgrade for free upon creation and adjust the warband rating with its actual
cost (Weapons ½ Value). Its
Investigation and Subversion Rating are increased by 1.
• Xenos Trader: The Rogue trader is a freelance trader. His focus is to create new commercial agreements for
his own profit. The warband must include up to 60% of Xenos Models including its leader and it cannot recruit any non Xenos as long as this percentage is not respected. The fighters may use weapons from both the
Xenos and human weapon lists as long as their rank and species allow it and suffer no penalty to access them.
The warband’s Subversion Rating is lowered by -2 but its
Investigation Rating is increased by +2 to reflect the cultural melting pot of the crew. In the recruitment
tables below, for all entries, add in the Species “Xenos”.
