Soon the Games Workshop hobby magazine, White Dwarf, started making army lists and devising strategies for people to use in these Rogue Trader games. These rules were later expanded by both Ansell and Richard Halliwell (both of whom ended up working for Games Workshop), although the rules were not a precursor to Rogue Trader.

Much of the composition of the units was determined randomly, by rolling dice.Ī few elements of the setting ( Bolters, Lasguns, Frag Grenades, Terminator Armour) can be seen in a set of earlier wargaming rules called Laserburn (produced by the now defunct company Tabletop Games) written by Bryan Ansell. This original version came as a very detailed, though rather jumbled, rulebook, which made it most suitable for fighting small skirmishes. The game play of Rogue Trader was heavily oriented toward role-playing rather than strict tabletop wargaming.

Game designer Rick Priestly created the original rules set (based on the contemporary 2nd Edition of Warhammer Fantasy) alongside the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The 1st Edition of the game, published in 1987, is referred to as Rogue Trader.

The Kingdom of Games workshop does not make mistakes and so Age of Sigmar is the best invention since Finecast. If GW had half a brain they'd leverage the success of this game and relaunch 8th ed.Heretic!
