[[Image:Rogue_Trader_FCover.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Cover of the ''Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader'' 1st edition rulebook]]The first rule book for the [[Warhammer 40,000]] game, Rogue Trader was published in 1987 and written by [[Rick Priestley]], and was quite different to future versions of the game. Largely a cross between Role Playing Games and Table Top Battle Games, rather than an out and out Table Top Battle Game, Rogue Trader contained much more background on the wider universe, races and technology found in the Warhammer 40k universe than later editions did, and for this reason is considered a prized collectors' piece.
