I'm sure I posted these guys before, but I finished painting some more of them, so here are the newly reinforced Rogue Traders. These guys are traders and explorers, licensed to deal with hated Xenos in order to secure more wealth and resources for the Imperium. They are rather like an East India Trading company in space. Technically just a business venture, but with their own private armies, ships and endorsement from the government to do what ever is necessary to expand the power of the Imperium. The fleet has small destroyers, frigates, light cruisers (from the awesome Resin Addict site), cruisers and a grand cruiser. I am looking into getting them their own battleship down the road. Note that these are not the cargo vessels. These are warships designed for combat. They are there to intimidate, to rpotect trade routes, punish anyone who thinks they can break a deal signed with the Imperium and take by force anything that can't be bought at an acceptable price.

...Maybe this is because I'm somewhat ignorant of Warhammer but I gotta ask-who do these guys even sell to? Seems like everyone that isn't the same race as you are enemies to be destroyed. Heck, some of the factions seem perfectly willing to wage war on themselves!

They trade within the Imperium (which is RIDICULOUSLY big) or they go to the fringes to seek out unexplored places. Rogue Traders have licence to trade with aliens, exploit them for resources etc. The potential wealth you can make from moving goods around is ridiculously huge, hence the battlefleet they have to back it up.
