The catalogue lists Waaargh the Orks as an expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader to use it. Check that your edition of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
