Creating the art of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - "one picture is better than a thousand words"

Warhammer Rogue Trader; warriors fight monsters set against a green moon.

Owlcat Games has become one of the best studios around when it comes to adapting beloved tabletop role-playing games to console and PC. The team has found a natural fit turning recognised series into immersive RPGs, and a part of this success is down to the beautiful concept art and art design. 

With an keen eye for recreating Games Workshop's exquisite fantasy art and realising it as complex RPGs, the latest tabletop game to be brought to a wider audience by this team is Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Unusual in the genre, Rogue Trader doesn't enable players to coast through its Warhammer 40K worlds as a bog-standard warrior, but in the shiny shoes of the titular Rogue Trader, heir to the von Valancius dynasty, a high noble and someone with huge wealth in this game's Warhammer 40K universe.
