@Grunt13: I think you're missing the entire point of the thread. You're not building a 40k Rambo. It's more of a 40k Jack Sparrow.

To add a bit you mine; I'd have a hover chair with servo-harness. Not because my guy would be crippled, just extremely lazy.

Just gimmee my trusty lasgun and flak armor so I can terrorize the galaxy!

A camo cloak, suspensor equipped exitus rifle and twin plasma pistols. Sit back in cover, blasting away, and when the enemy gets too near...

Well let's just say that 2 plasma pistol shots to the face won't be pretty...

Oh, and the exitus rifle would probably be modified to rapid fire.

I'm not exactly the most accurate shot..

Oh, nearly forgot, my local GW store is doing a linked selection of games, with rule made up for us based on our personalities.

I am so:

Ws Bs S T W I A LD Sv
3 3* 3 3 2 5 2 5 5+

* Only becuse my gun has a targetting computer in it

Equipment:

Sniper rifle with suspensors:
Sniper rifle can be fired normally, or as a 18" range assault weapon.

Camo Cloak:
5+ cover sv in open or +1 to cover save.

Special rules:

Tries hard:
Can re-roll sniper rifle misses.

Poison:
Can re-roll to wound with sniper rifle.

OI! This is my hiding place!:
Fearless... when in cover.

I feel that I have been challenged:

Blood of the Stalker Kroot Totem
Combat Drugs
Hell Mask
Trophy Rack
Eviscerator with attached Exterminator

And to complete the ensemble I would of course be striped down to my underwear. I bet even orks would flee when they see me charging towards them.

I would also like to mention in my first post I was more then happy with the humble dire avenger shuriken catapult. And I gave very practical reasons why I would favorite it over the other basic guns in 40K. I just got caught up in the moment. Bear if mind I was following Greebynog post:

Greebynog wrote:Terminator armour with an assault cannon on one arm and a heavy flamer on the other. Stuff combat, you're burning biatches. I'll also take a crap load of gun/shield drones, a servo arm, a shadowfield and a vortex grenade.

That being said I would like to state the benefits of a graviton gun:
It’s just a cumbersome as any other basic weapon. no disadvantage there
It’s non-lethal - great for taking prisoners
It can stop a charging carnifex
It completely disregards armour and toughness so nurgle terminators are just as vulnerable as grotz.

It’s cool to say “Graviton Gun”
The larger the creature the more vulnerable it is to the gun (fluff wise) – “I’m hunting squiggoths”

For those of you who have never played 2nd edition the graviton gun greatly enhances the targets gravity (surprised?) rendering the model immobile. You would actually have to leave the poor sap sitting there during the entire battle unable to defend himself/herself/itself. It was really fun to do when opponent had a tricked out character with multiple saves, enhanced toughness, and/or regeneration.

Pack blingz, gold plated bolter and my hoz to pimp out!

I would take a shrunken pistil, a compacted master-vox, and a laser pointer. Pistil to take out guys holding me or beating me in cards, a vox to call in a lance strike or landing party, and a laser pointer to lecture my enemies on their defeat, as well as blind those that annoy me. A laspistil can replace the laser pointer, they are the same thing.

If you want chesse though...
A Warlord titan in a modified torpedo tube on my ship filled with companies of wraithguard. I would be hanging out in a nice armchair in my panic room on my ship.
Btw the inquisition shoots titans at planets all the time. sort of…

My rogue trader fleet would consist of 15 emperor class battleships, each of which is accompanied by it's own fully activated blackstone fortress as a support vessel...

On board each battleship would be 15 webway gates to wherever I wanted big enough to take a small but perfectly formed kill team consisting of....

10 Imperator Emperor Class Titans.

The Imperators shall be painted with Cameleoline for added stealth capabilities.

Each camoflaged Imperator wil carry a full battle company of grey Knights.

Myself and my small fleet and elite entourage will cruise the space lanes around a selection of Ratling planets (not Ornsworld, too dangerous) and occasionally send out for pizza and other food.


Beat that...

A thread about Rogue Trader equipment and noone has mentioned Orangutan.... I mean Jokaero digi-weapons??

For shame Dakka, for shame.

Edited cuz Dakka lets Kyoto say it but not me.

I would like to point out there is a clear downside to surrounding oneself with grey knights:

“You have not performed your hourly penance yet Lord Vompire”

Exitus rifle and pistol, haywire nades, vortex nade and a compact IG style power fist. Two shield drones one sniper drone

With my pet jokaro, Atlas... I would travel the galaxies: swiss army power fist on one hand, 5 digital bolters firing hellfire rounds on the other hand.

HAHA... I actually wrote my response and then read your post.

Joke Answer: Heat

Real Answer: Eldar Ranger sniper with Chamoline Cloak and Swooping Hawk wings and striped pyjamas and slippers (cause i don't fancy being neckid)

4 Suspensors and a pair of digital weapons

Battleship and escorting heavy cruisers. The people I send down would be well equipped. I, however would have nothing but an "uh oh emergency teleport me out of this hole" button.

i would take as many gun drones as would fit in all the extra space. on myself would be in a XV88 just becouse railguns kill anything and look realy intimiding, and i would have 2shield drones, a markerlight drone and at least 8 gun drones around me.

Am I the ONLY one who is going to pack a harem of daemonettes? Think how bored you'd be without them. What if you had to choose between sharing a king-sized bed with a dozen naked sweaty, eight-foot-tall Grey Knights, or a dozen naked daemon-hos?

Why my magic bag full of vortex grenades.

Don't need anything else if you have vortex grenades.

You do if the good guys have something called a rifle.

Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

stealth suit, swooping hawk wings, shruiken pistol build into each forearms armour, and 2 daemon weapons (probably somesort of sword). oh yes and a compass that doesnt point north

I'll take a Long-Barrelled Mega Gatling Earthshaker Cannon Pistol (Indirect of course) and some sort of mega terminator armor system so I don't fly backwards ten miles or so my wrist doesn't end up lodged in my spine somehow.

The nerdy, half-serious answer: an Eldar or Tau made plasma pistol. The mini-uzi of the 40th millenium: compact, comparatively relaible and able to kill just about anyone with whom you're likely to have trouble with a minimum of skill required.

The totally tongue in cheek answer: nothing but the big red button marked "exterminatus"...o wait, that's the Inquisition...

Two live cats tied back-to-back with sticky tape.
The idea is that at least one of them will absolutely not land on its feet.

The result is so much better than a vortex grenade that it isn't funny anymore.

Stasis Grenade: like a vortex but a lot safer.

2 shuriken pistols with bio-explosive ammo: wounds on a 2+, causes victims to explode like a grenade, and forces a moral test. In my opinion, one of the meanest guns in the game. And if group of people charge me I only need to hit one. Take that would be mutiny!

Powerblades: a power weapon that does not require my hands so I’m free to use both pistols. While staying well equipped for hand to hand.

Both items are from the old harlequin codex

The most typical rouge trades have to deal with are; pirates, disgruntled buyers, mutinies, and maybe a forced drafting. They are not likely going to be in a position where they going to be standing in a battlefield with a wraithlord bearing down on them. The weapons would be easily stored on my person and concealed if need be. I could go about be daily trading and piloting activities well armed and unhindered.

If a side arm-melta pistol (or inferno pistol to you non-2nd Edition peeps).

Nothing says "make an example of this potential mutineer like melting him alive," like a melta pistol.

Storm Bolter Just love the way those things look!!!

Also Like the anything I can pack under a trench coat idea!!!

see.. it all comes down to WHICH daemonettes you are talking about.. the 4th ed plastics (pass) .. 3rd ed NSFW chicks (yes! Please!).. 3rd ed Giant Crab Claws (they may have other "crab" issues)..

Gimme the hot chicks.. yes. I have a customized LR with crushed velvet interior, anti-Nurgle waterbed, mood lighting and James Brown daemonhosting the onboard Machine Spirit. Call it the Spirit of the 70's...

and.. to continue with being On Topic..

I think I would like a chainsword.. just for the coolness factor .. Oh.. you mean NOT real life..

DEATH SPINNAS BITCHES!!!!!!!!
