There are definitely female Ogryn. In fact, in one of the recent books one of them even somehow becomes a psyker.

Although that wouldn't fit the convict theme, so I'm not gonna hold my breath.

They're an order of magnitude higher on the power scale than guardsmen are. Even a Repentia is a stretch since they don't get sent to a prison.

Suuuuure, but that's not exactly a convict either, and there's already a female zealot option. They also aren't gonna put an all female job in the game that mostly runs around wearing scripture for clothes  I'd love to see an eviscerator show up the game though, holy poo poo.

My guess is the most likely additions(that aren't just variants of the types we already have) would be a Ratling(easy archetype to model in this kind of game and there's already a fair bit of dialogue about them) or something relating to the Adeptus Mechanicus(either an actual Tech Priest or maybe even a Combat Servitor)

Really any demi human makes sense, Ratlings or Squats. But I'm assuming they'll be adding subclasses for a while before they'd ever add another full character to the roster.

I will see if I want more before I get Winds of Magic but, uh, *looks at user reviews* woof Played as Saltzpyre for a bit and ended up liking him more than I expected, and I like being able to knock people back with the power of my ego and self-importance. I may stick with him, take a look at his other alt careers. Speaking of sticking with, how do chests and loot work? Is it like some chance at an incremental upgrade up to a certain cap, depending on chest rarity and caping out at some level depending on where you get it from?

Unlucky7 posted:Okay, I see it now. Not sure it it was part of the original game but I do not see a DLC for it. Avoid Winds of Magic. For Saltz, Bounty hunter is probably his best class. The active ability just ruins bosses and if you can land headshots with it you can stunlock a boss to death in like 5 seconds. He'll also one-shot chaos warriors on basically any difficulty. The chests gives you gear for whichever character you open it as, and it spits out level at your average hero power +- a few points. If you do the chaos wastes content, it's pretty much all ilevel agnostic and you can get levels real quick DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Nov 11, 2022 |

The standard bearers loving suck and minotaurs can eat my rear end. Mass archers throw off the entire dynamic in a game that is much less gunplay-focused. There's just way way less polish on them than there are the rats or the rotbloods. Also the Weaves of Magic is fully dead on arrival. The map and weapons are strictly okay but it costs way too much and once it's on you've got beastmen in any game you host forever, no way to turn them off. Cataclysm is an experts-only mode that doesn't even net you better loot than Veteran. Edit: Well, there is a way to turn it off, but it's disabling the whole DLC, which turns off the map and the new weapons. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Nov 11, 2022 |

Like it's kind of a waste of money but people who really hate beastmen, I just don't see it. I mean after like hundreds of hours of VT2 I barely pause long enough to notice the they're beastmen, and the elite chargers are actually quite interesting from a gameplay perspective because they actually break your ranks and get into your back lines somewhat. And I like the minotaur, I think he's legitimately scary. I do think that they are poorly animated though. Also it is definitely true that the Winds of Magic game mode is itself kind of a waste of time. Mostly just buy it for the weapons and if they don't interest you don't get it. DeathSandwich posted:Avoid Winds of Magic. WHC is, no joke, possibly one of the best classes in the game. By the end of his tree you can hit one button to cut through an entire rank of storm vermin and refill half your health bar with temp HP in one go. And dodge range increase means you can do things like tank a boss for your whole team without getting hit. But he's not as flashy as zealot or BH and doesn't do quite as much single target DPS.

That and the absolutely terrible Brettonian accent he affects sometimes.

It should just become available on Steam on the 17th, as far as I know. I haven't heard anything about preloading, but they preloaded the closed beta, so I don't see why not. I imagine we'll know more a couple of days beforehand.

Regarding Sisters of Battle in Dark Tide, and for folks not so up on the more recent miniatures, there's now something called "novitiates", which are Sisters in training (of all types, not just battle), and they fight in guard equivalent gear, custom flak armor, auto guns, conventional swords, etc. This is also why "every marine is a rifleman" in the Soritas; every hospitalier or Diplomat has spent time in the field, even if it didn't end up being their ultimate area of specialization. I'd say the bigger barrier for their inclusion is just that they're so similar to the existing zealot.

Well with the archetype/subclass system we could potentially get things like Novitiates or Repentias on the Zealot but it really depends on how far they go for those subclasses. If it's just a couple new weapons, new traits/abilities and some cosmetics then it's probably less likely to get really wild stuff. Fatshark does seem to be filled with gigantic Warhammer nerds though so if they're looking to make this a live service game that just eventually is stuffed with 40K nonsense I could see it.

IMO it's that they'd be so similar to the zealot and that the chance of a Sister ending up in prison is near zero. They'd either get executed by the ecclesiarchy or be forced to become a Repentia.

The sister wouldn't necessarily need to be a prisoner. The SOBs are a separate branch but they work closely with Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors and it's not out of the question for the Darktide Inquisitor to call in some favours. There's multiple Orders within the inquisition but the big three are the Ordo Xenos, Ordo Hereticus and Ordo Malleus. These three are the most active in direct combat roles and while they field their own agent they do reach out for assistance when poo poo hits the fan. Ordo Xenos works closely with the Deathwatch Space Marines. Specialize in killing aliens. Ordo Malleus work with the Grey Knights to kill daemons. Ordo Hereticus works with the Sisterhood to purge heretics before they can escalate into daemon summoning. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Nov 11, 2022 |

They could be a sort of supervisor or something seconded to the war effort. "Our previous modus operandi of sending wave after wave of our own idiots into the Nurgle killbots until they hit their preprogrammed kill limit didn't work because joke's on us; they love that poo poo. We're not going to waste good commissars on bad rubbish but the Local Sisters cathedral volunteered to help rehabilitate our charges"
