What to Buy from Rogue Trade Store

    Oh well, at least there's that.
    Still, I don't see any reason to buy normal items yet as FA hasn't started.
  2. GET. THE. BIKE.

    SERIOUSLY FUCKING GET IT.

    Fucking heavy-bolter on a sidecar of an attack bike with twin linked bolters.

    THAT'S ALMOST ENOUGH DAKKA FOR A BLOODY GREENSKIN!

    So I know it's likely expanded upon (multiple times over) somewhere here on the site...

    But Rogue Trader points and the Rogue Trader store will be kept for predominantly cosmetic items, right?

    I noticed in my account info a place for "subscriptions" and I can honestly say that it worried me a lot. I gathered that the sub was mostly for RTP, but they grant a kinda vaguely explained "Subscriber" status.

    I'm just worried that we're starting to see the "All of the paid players are equal, but some are more equal than others" mentality that generally slips into pay-to-win.

    Closing Note: I'm willing to admit I may be totally wrong here. I honestly just don't know enough info. Help me out brothers!

    P.S. As an aspiring Sanguinary Priest, what weapons would I be able to use from the Rogue Trader Store? Both assault and tactical weapons, or are the ones listed ONLY for those specific classes?

    I just made sure to get all of the limited offers before they where all taken and everything for the SpaceMarine.
  5. BUY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. I've been a subscriber for a while and it just gives you an increasing amount of RTP's and a

    Essentially any sidegrades in the RTS would just have unique cosmetic value & convenience with arguable inconvenience attached (can't remove the mods they come with. But should be noted that there could still be empty mod slots available; we don't know the specific details on this as Devs haven't gotten around to deepening progression and load outs yet.). There will be in-game equivalents to be earned & found as well as modifications to replicate the stats. So no P2W.
    10. Can you give us a comparison between two marines who want to use an apollo plasma gun? One who goes about buying it in the RTS and the other who goes out to get the in-game equivalent?

    BRENT ELLISON: The equivalent in-game won’t be called an “Apollo” and it will look different, but the base of the weapon has the same stats and effects. The main difference between ones purchased from the store and ones in-game is that with the Rogue Trader weapons you can quickly get what you want, but it will have some weapon mod slots pre-equipped that can’t be changed. The equivalent base that you earn in-game will have all its slots free, so while it will start off weaker you can customize it fully how you want. Obviously both can have equivalent stats when fully modded.

    -----OFF-TOPIC-----
    Sanguinary Priests are Apothecaries for Blood Angels so they'll get apothecary load outs which would be 1h melee weapons & a pistol (we've been told that pistols can be used by any class unless stated otherwise) as well as bolters for ranged combat (at least I'd be willing to give them this gameplay liberty. Same for Wolf Priests). Throw in whatever special stuff such as how Wolf Priests will get crozius as well as performing differently than an Apo from another Chapter,
    12. How are Wolf Priests being handled as they are both Chaplains and Apothecary for the Space Wolves?
    BRENT ELLISON: Wolf Priests are the support role for Space Wolves, replacing the Apothecary. They aren’t as good at healing & medic buffs, but have a Crozius and can offer similar morale bonuses to a Chaplain.


    Lexicanum says this about the Blood Chalice: "However, fragments of destroyed Chalices are worked into theNartheciums of the Blood Angels' Sanguinary Priests.[1]

    A Battle-Brother may drink from the Blood Chalice, removing any fatigue, damage or wounds (though not restoring lost limbs or other permanent injuries).
    " Removing fatigue could be a buff that restores stamina quickly in EC.

    BROOOOTHEEERRRRRRRR.

    sup.

    OT, the only thing Iv'e bought thus far is the Damned Legionnare, I think. Because you too should want to be a FLAMING SKELETON.

    Well.....how about custom paint jobs, like for example....Deathwatch? You could still keep the origin chapter pad etc, and the classes, but would be very distinctive! Equally, CSM could have their original armour colours, or those devoted to the appropriate Ruinous Power.
  10. Please search deathwatch. It's been brought up before once or twice before
