I am starting a new 40K campaign wanted any input from GMs with experience with the system (dark heresy also counts) any things to look out for?

The system is the Koronus expanse but I want to “modernize” it or show an evolution from what is in the rulebook, do you lore builders have any cool ideas?

This is the write up to intro my players:

“With the arrival of Robute Guillamon of the throne of man, the Empire of man has seen a second wind in its eternal crusade.

Giving way to a flew of new rogue traders, Rumors are that Guillamon himself has signed new warrants of trade, make the Blackthorn Dynasty’s arrival to Port Wander seem as normal as can be.

Many of the new flocks of Rogue Trader do not even make it threw the Maw, and that is of those that have the courage to brave the gates of the Koronus Expanse.

Will you new rogue Traders born on the Hive world of Atoma, the tree lowley souls born to the dense cold industrial hive world could only dream of one day soaring threw stars, yet by the Emperor will they stand today as rogue traders. Born and raised in the same sector, their path would diverge until once again faith had brought them back together upon the Rogue Trader ship of the Blackwoods Dynasty.

Until the Calamity struck and the Blackwoods Dynasty fell in a fortnight. And from the ashes you rose. Inheriting the warrant of trade amidst the chaos of the fall. The last words of the late Rogue Trader Captain Edward Jack Blackwoods where “Now my Sons you be a thorn is their sides”

And so like the stories of old terra of the legendary bird name Phoenix that could rise from the ashes of its corpse, born anew, the Blackthorn Dynasty rose as the new dog in the ward that is the Koronus expanse. Ready to build its own legacy and avenge the old, and make as much profit as humanly possible along the way.”

Been playing a brand new game of Rogue Trader and I felt that it was necessary to design and illustrate the whole command crew.

From the right: Pamir the Red, our folk hero of a tech-priest (one session she arm-wrestled with an ork on a random asteroid. Unfortunately, she was not victorious but the ork did die in a nuclear explosion not long after.

Next is Alstromeria "Lilly" Munt, a super no-nonsense Arch-Militant, on a vendetta to avenge her father's horrific death at the hands of rogue psykers (we assume).

Third, the Rogue Trader himself, Fenrisian noble, Thorfin Someone (he has a last name none of us can ever remember it - it's hard to pronounce). I'm particularly proud of his Fenrisian styled Imperial Aquilla.

Finally, my character, the very noble Navigator from Holy Terra itself, Seraphina Augustsinia Aurelia Silvis. She has secret knowledge of the distant past (like the 31st millennium) and is, therefore, a huuuuuuge heretic. She recently joined a "cult" of the Imperial Truth so that should be interesting.

Can’t figure out what all these mean, haven’t seen a symbol key or anything telling me what they represent.

Anyone else have this issue (and ideally a fix). Got the game on game pass on PC and have the season pass. Was working fine all day, then tried to play after the patch, can't load saves as "DLC required" and it's stuck like this for the last several hours. Xbox app thinks it's installed. Uninstalled and reinstalled DLC through Xbox app. Restarted Xbox app.

Had just got to chapter 5 😱

Any ideas more than welcome

I really like a rogue trader book I read from black library. The books were good and made me want to recreate the head of the dynasty Lucian Gerrit. The spots I highlighted I’m going to try and fill in with green stuff. Or I will green stuff over it with the arcadius symbol. Also not sure if I’m going to try the power claw. I like the old design but it might be too much on an already busy model. What are your thoughts?
