You can forgo the hat but if and only if you have a cybernetic eye that looks like a stylized pirate eyepatch.

That dude looks like he either just started out as a rogue trader or he’s navy. Not nearly enough bling. Awesome art though, he does look like a badass.

Most of the art is good, it's just that having a clean style fights against drawing a rogue trader.

It's just to lull people into a false sense of security, so that when a Mek deploys his Awesomely Energetic Light-show Field (destabilises all unshielded plasma generators to create cool looking sparks, makes things blow up as a pleasant side effect) they freak the gently caress out. Yes it has the acronym of "Aelf", no that is in no way intended to be a plot hook scrawled on a number of papers found around dead bodies that the players think is leading them towards some intricate plot of subtle Eldar interference.

goatface posted:Is that a Howling Banshee sword? I kind of love that Rogue Trader art for this reason. Does he look a little understated compared to previous art? Perhaps. But he's got skulls to the nines and he has a goddamn Howling Banshee sword (or at least an Eldar Power Sword) - he doesn't need a long coat or a jacket, the drat sword (and Plasma Pistol next to his junk) is the statement.

They've already got servo-skulls, so might as well use the rest. Anthropodermic BiblopegyI like the example of a dude who was like "I tried to rob you once but you were pretty brave, so hey, here's my memoirs, bound in my skin!"

I guess you might get parchment that long if you spiralled a full grown cow, but their skin tends to be tougher than usual parchment sources. I suppose a grimderp genetically modified parchment snake-mammal that they slit open and roll up for the big pieces is possible.

I think that dude needs at least a servoskull or grapplehawk or to otherwise look like he's in 40k. I think the clean minimalist look is the exact opposite of what 40k is about as a setting. Everything is deeply lived in, there have been generations of humans before you and there will be generations after you, as long as you don't gently caress up. The RT corebook has a dude who looks like a rogue trader as the interior art.

I'm going to have to agree that that dude is terribly underdressed for a guy important enough to be using an Eldar sword. But we all know that isn't the reason most of the dickheads on Facebook are mad.

Going at it from the wrong angle - 40K is totalitarian enough that he can order people to admire his finery on pain of excruciation. A bit like the Emperor's New Clothes, though the 40K version would be wearing a force field and a bunch of strategically placed digital weapons to display the glory of the human form  and also spray incandescent plasma from his dong.

They're about the same as they ever were, but they have more weapon options now and ion weapons, now a widespread weapon type available to infantry and battlesuits alike, include an overcharge setting for more damage at the risk of frying their user.
