So I got my first squad built. I managed to get 6 models into 200 points, it was a bigger challenge than I expected. Once you start grabbing all of the cool toys, you run out of points really fast. One of your big first decisions is balancing number of troops with power of troops. So this is my first go round with that question. Theme: Pirates Tactical Discipline: Opportunists Total Cost: 200 pts Jericho Bloodrage, 39 pts Difficult Target 1, Leadership 1, Sonic Rifle, Monowire Tangler, Knife, Refraction Field T'locca N'gai, 49 pts Big, Extra Legs 1, Reptiloid, Nonreactive, Weapon Master 1, Quantum Harness, Powered Gauntlet, Flamer Pistol, Force Sheild Alesia Silvereyes, 42 pts Alert, Danger Sense, Fire Into Melee, Marksman 1, Perceptive 1, Stealth 1, Motion Detector, Accurate Weapon, Alpha Class Needler, Space Suit Raphael MacKenzie, 22 pts Psionic, Healing, Sonic Rifle, Sword, Space Suit Thargrim the Insane 25 pts Weapon Master 1, Patrol Baton, Sword, Force Shield "Gathering Storm" 23 pts Big, Extra Legs 1, Reptiloid, Nonreactive, Fire Into Melee, Laser Cannon, Space Suit I've put my cards on the table, showing you my squad. What are your ideas for a good team?

All the minis appear to be Rogue Trader figures from Games Workshop. The two back ones are Zoats a early version of Tyranid they discontinued. One of the fronts is a elder and the others early Imperial agents I'm guessing.

You pretty much nailed them all. From left to right in the front row: Bounty Hunter (from a Star Pirate range that only existed for a year or two); An Eldar Ranger; A Sensei (one of the Emperor's bastard children); and an Imperial Guard Beastman (from back when the IG had squads of abhumans as troops)

I got my copy in yesterday and glanced at the contents. I will try at some point to build my squad but we are set Mark to do a Rogue Stars video on that Friday.

I think it really one of the strengths of the game that, like Frostgrave, you can grab any figs and use them to build the story of your squad. But it goes further with the ability to build the traits of the character to fit the way the mini looks.
What do the stats of your squads look like?

I just ran smack into the 30 point minimum rule. Each character must be between 30 and 70 points. I have to re-jigger the "Hounds of Catachan" because I currently have 3 characters that are under 30. I'm most likely going to be losing a figure because of the amount of points I have to redistribute.

Just discovered this. Veteran is (R) which means only one squad member can start the campaign with it. I doubled checked to see if the theme limited it and they all have access to it with no other modifier that I saw so by the description it is listed with the (R) so then by WTR you cannot give any other models veteran at start.
