The Making of Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader | 40k History
Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader was the first edition of the science fantasy wargame that would literally upend an industry and change pop culture forever. And this is the history of how it happened.
Written by Rick Priestley, the same man who had co-created Warhammer Fantasy, this miniatures wargame would take liberal inspiration from not just Priestley’s earlier work, but the films, books, television, and comics that surrounded it’s creation. Frank Herbet’s Dune, 2000 AD and Judge Dredd, Blakes 7, Dr Who, and even Star Wars, they all played a role.
But it was thanks to Priestley, and an incredible team at Citadel, that WH40K would be crafted in its uniquely radical, punk, satirical, grim dark style. A style that would utterly alter the fate of Games Workshop and the lives of gamers the world over.
