skitarii-class

[young panther]

Infiltrators have flechette blasters

so there is a chance

I doubt we'll get any actually Pteraxii exclusive weaponry

unless phosphor torches and flechette carbines are deemed

[humble rock]

You know id kill for the archaeotech revolvers the serberys units use

[young panther]

Didn't we see a revolver ?

nvm

[humble rock]

Oh fuck yeah

[young panther]

I thought it was a revolver

but that seems to be the regular skitarii gat

[humble rock]

I see an arc maul, interesting

[young panther]

yeah like we know one of the skins is a ruststalker

and we have sicarian weaponry

so I feel like at minimum we know we can kit ourselves out in ranger, infiltrator and ruststalker equipment

[pallid rock]

That is the phosphor pistol I believe

[young panther]

would the talents reflect them ? thats another question

Vanguard technically doesn't need any talents

they just need a cosmetic

[opal thistle]

if they make an ability cooldown talent related to stamina amount and it causes people to run 3x +3 stamina and think that to be "meta" istg

[humble rock]

Radium rifle
Transonic blades

[young panther]

like we can make a vanguard

if they have the cosmetics for it

ranger too

and maybe the infiltrator

if they give us the headpiece

[pallid rock]

All can be yours for only 2k aquilas each

[young panther]

the only thing we cannot really make I believe

is Secutarii, Pteraxii, Sagitarii, Aquis, Skatros, Dragoons, Raiders and Sulphurhounds

and the serberys are mostly because of maybe one or two missing weapons from what we know of

and the lack of mounts

same for the dragoon

[white blade]

Skittle isn't getting a polearm right

[lusty granite]

No.

[heady aurora]

imagine if we get saltzpire pistol and rapier, skitarii edition

[young panther]

Did we for sure see all the weapons ?

like did arbi and scum only have the trailer weapons

[white blade]

thanks

[heady aurora]

the splash art weapons like the ones above were inline with the exact load out for hive scum iirc

bone saw, shivs, needle, stubs, crowbar

[lusty granite]

A pole arm might be added later but o doubt it will be there at the beginning

[heady aurora]

if anything it was only the difference of marks on the shivs

[young panther]

I honestly did not pay attention to arbi and scum much because well aside from having a warp induced migraine or having the omnissiah's motive force running through my veins, I really do not care about anything else in darktide

the only reason I have a veteran character is I got tired of having just one flavour

[heady aurora]

skitarii will have enough variety as is probably

[young panther]

thats what I am hoping for

since my psyker well

Its mostly my fault

because brain burst with voidstrike

is my go to comfort food

because all the other builds felt...off

but with the changes since I last played you know had made my build feel very

weak

[abstract aurora]

So skitarii is gonna have electric weapons like psyker

[young panther]

not quite like psyker from what we know

but similar

[abstract aurora]

But doesn't the psyker have electric weapons

[heady aurora]

depends if arc is replacing electrify

arc sounds like a new effect that applies a mark to a target, then detonates that mark after with chain lightning

[abstract aurora]

Whats the difference between arc and electric

[heady aurora]

where electrify is just a dot that applies a bit of stagger iirc

smite sub node for power attack electrify, shock maul alternate attack zap

they have not unified it as a single key word yet, they all behave slightly differently in the code iirc, but they boil down to "does electric damage over time"

[abstract aurora]

So same thing

[rain geyser]

@abstract auroraPsyker weapons aren't Power, they are Force specific to thier use of the warp

[young panther]

its not quite the same thing @abstract aurora
yes they in the end do 'electric damage over time' but they all do it differently and with additional effects or not

for example skitarii seems to be able to apply further debuffs

like applying stacks of brittleness

for stacks of arc

[heady aurora]

I am assuming arc will be a separate effect

no way to know until it comes out

[narrow nebula]

Arc will also chain between electrocuted enemies, iirc

According to forum post

[heady aurora]

its a marker that allows for chain lightning to proc

[narrow nebula]

“The Arc mechanic is really cool. It can hit several enemies if they are affected by the Arc condition, energy will arc between them. Good for handling hordes”

[heady aurora]

so you mark them with arc, then further applications of arc will instead chain lightning between them is what I am reading there

[warped ferry]

the real question is will it interact with arby shock and Electro staff on pysker

i hope so bc that would be neat

but i also expect it not to

[young panther]

god if arc not only worked self-chaining

but as a support to buff the other two ? that would be amazing

just procs on any electric type damage

[gusty siren]

arcing to enemies that are otherwise electrofied would be neat

[warped ferry]

flip side of this is that it would be crazy strong

but it could lead to other damage types working together

[gusty siren]

wait
stop EVERYTHING
if it does do that,
it could make smite good

[warped ferry]

like chem toxin detonating with fire based procs

but that would be cool so i expect none of them to have any meaningful interaction

i want more teamwork based stuff in the game bc it would be cool. but also, lets be honest, most people arent great at the game so niche "teamwork" stuff has less focus than making everyone powerful on their own

on that topic, i hope arc has something like this

[young panther]

we already saw something like that on parts of the tree

brittleness specifically even

[warped ferry]

oh did we?

[young panther]

yeah

I do not have any images of it

[warped ferry]

neat

[young panther]

but it was one one of the videos they showed

[warped ferry]

personally i just want more stuff that not only helps you but helps the team

[warped ferry]

inb4 someone says killing stuff helps your team

[young panther]

I mean it does but in the lamest way possible

its like DnD's

"the best way of healing is to do the most damage you can."

because you can heal out of combat much easier than in combat

and getting the encounter done faster improves your chances of survival

So having a high DPT is more important than healing especially early level

[young panther]

what about it @abstract aurora ?

[oak ember]

system shock reference

what does stacks of brittleness mean

[young panther]

brittleness is a status effect

[oak ember]

must be blind then

or never really cared

[warped ferry]

see, at base the game does not tell you that

[young panther]

I wonder what percentage of brittleness it is

but we won't really know until the modders get to it

[warped ferry]

it depends on how often arc can be proc'd

pentracting flame is only 1% per application to 20% max bc of how easy it is to apply

so if arc is on the same level i expect the same

[young panther]

considering we have 'arc' weapons

its probably really easy to apply

[warped ferry]

mind you in practice due to how purge staff works you hit cap almost instantly as it's 4 stacks per "cast"

[heady aurora]

arc is most likely going to have an internal cool down on its proc rate

[young panther]

“The Arc mechanic is really cool. It can hit several enemies if they are affected by the Arc condition, energy will arc between them. Good for handling hordes”
^ yeah especially due to this

[warped ferry]

inb4 we get the "Arc cooldown timer" mod

[young panther]

also something said that we can wishlist skitarii

but ever since

I didn't see it on the store page at all

[warped ferry]

as an aside the prem cosmetics are super good this time around, really selling the big edition

esp the guns this time

[young panther]

Skitarii class really do be looking nice

[gusty siren]

the character creation boutta be like quake 4 stroggification

[pallid rock]

So essentially brittleness and rending are the same thing except rending is a personal buff and brittleness is a enemy debuff.
Both improve your weapon's ADMs by their listed percentage until reaching 100%.
After that point extra is applied at a 1/4th rate as a simple damage bonus.

[gusty siren]

except you're actively going "YEEEESS, YEEEEESSSS"

[pallid rock]

Pretty sure I got all that right from memory

[warped ferry]

that is correct as i understand it

both are good for different reasons weapon dependant

[abstract aurora]

Nothing

[rocky willow]

I wonder how the skitarii character customisation'll work considering we likely won't see an inch of skin on them.

[warped ferry]

they mentioned different metals and stuff

[rocky willow]

ah oke that makes sense actually

[dense solstice]

I just wonder if they’re gonna have backpacks cause in the trailer all 3 are wearing power packs

[warped ferry]

i bet it'll be like scum where you pick where you are "From" and that modifys your base coat of paint

[gusty siren]

skitarii imminent grahh

[gusty siren]

I think it'll just have no [none] option

but a default backpack for the slot

[rocky willow]

Ah like from a different forge world or something like that

[warped ferry]

the real question, will the backpack give us a flashlight

[gusty siren]

metalica....

[woeful fractal]

27 days to skitarii

[warped ferry]

bc that looks like a lamp to me

[woeful fractal]

So close but so far away

[warped ferry]

i know it wont, but it would amuse me

[pallid rock]

Maybe id actually play lights out if that is a thing

[rocky willow]

Honestly I like lights out makes the game feel somewhat different from time to time

[heady aurora]

might only be an ambient close blue glow, similar in strength to the candle shoulders on zealots

[warped ferry]

lights oput and vent purge are my favorites tbh

[pallid rock]

It looks great it's just a pain to play

[heady aurora]

also, having lights passively on a character might aggro daemon hosts like gun lights so

[warped ferry]

oh no, i have to kill more hosts

[rocky willow]

[rocky willow]

Oof embed fail screw my life 😭

[pallid rock]

You'll turn red and get perms eventually

[lusty granite]

Agreed. Certain maps are fun when it is lights out

[wheat timber]

Hunting Grounds my beloved

I love watching the killfeed just go BRRRRRR in a chokepoint

[humble rock]

Kayex's daily affirmations

[subtle dragon]

Thats not a real question

[warped ferry]

Correct, we all know it wont

[subtle dragon]

Why it would give a flashlight at all is kinda bemusing

[warped ferry]

Bc it would amuse me

[subtle dragon]

Implies that the only thing holding rejects back from having a flash light is storage space

[warped ferry]

In general the lack of flashlights amuses me. Makes me thing of an old gears quote

"I'll take an extra gun over a flashlight anyday"

We dont even get that

Our pockets are worth nothing

[honest magnet]

don't we by default have flashlight in game... just not very bright

[warped ferry]

Yesnt

Its only kind of a flashlight, it would be more accurate to call it "character light" and it exists bc we dont by design have rig lights

Alot of games have it when light and dark areas exist

Vet in particular not having a flashlight in their kit always bothered me (not attacked to guns i mean)

[honest magnet]

they on a budget, cant afford batteries

[rain geyser]

I think you guys are missing one point.

Dark Tide was about Abhumans and baseline humans serving the inquisition, Skitarii aren't human at all, they are vat grown like Cherubs, and some servitors.

[noble turret]

Does that matter?

They are functionally identical to humans pre lobotomy

[honest magnet]

skitarii was lobotomized???

[noble turret]

Its a funny way to say heavy brain augmentation so sure

[long onyx]

I wish it wasnt a month until it gets released

[sterile tendon]

idek if ours were lobotomized since they're not the usual

[merry rain]

Doesn't that also depend on both the forge world they're from and how their tech priests make them?

[lusty granite]

They are from the nearby forge world I think from the lore we are getting from the dark rites

[merry rain]

Ah I see

Though i mean it would still make sense for them to be less lobotomized, it would probably be a little boring if they were silent the whole time

[lusty granite]

shrugs

[hollow zephyr]

It depends on the rank of the Skitarii

Standard ones are pretty much always controlled by a nearby Tech Priest

[sterile tendon]

hadron on the xbox controller

[hollow zephyr]

The ones we'll get to play are specifically given more free reign

To carry out the Will of the Omnissiah

The standard ones still retain a bit of individuality that gives them that killing edge

A touch of human ingenuity that makes them able to be tactical

[rain geyser]

@merry rainIn Warhammer 40k, Skitarii are the cybernetic foot soldiers of the Adeptus Mechanicus. They are created by brutally augmenting willing menials, vat-grown clones, or mind-wiped convicts. Tech-priests replace their human organs and limbs with bionics, implant neuro-inhibitors for absolute obedience, and lace their bloodstreams with combat drugs

Trust me no Skitarii has anything remotely like free will.

[worthy knot]

It varies from forge world to forge world

But mostly yeah

[rain geyser]

They have no emotions like hate, rage, fear, or sorrow, no questions about the past, present, or future. They are simply point and click cyborg automations.

[worthy knot]

Theyre hooked up to the noosphere and have supervisors

A Primus generally would have the best shot across all forge worlds of being fairly autonomous

[halcyon dragon]

SKITARII NEXT MONTH! RAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[rain geyser]

The grimdark process of turning a baseline human into a cybernetic warrior follows several distinct steps:1. The Source MaterialMenials: Indentured workers from the forge world's teeming hives are often conscripted.Vat-Grown: Many are grown in artificial flesh-vats specifically to serve as expendable, engineered infantry.Penal Conscripts: Criminals, failures, or deserters are mind-wiped and repurposed rather than being turned into mindless servitors

2. Cybernetic & Genetic AugmentationPhysical Alterations: Flesh is replaced with mechanical parts, adamantium sockets, and ceramic valves to create soldiers that can survive radiation, toxic waste, and deep space.The Hybrid Brain: A small portion of higher brain function is retained so they can follow complex tactical orders, but this is interlaced with neural circuitry.Chemical Conditioning: Skitarii undergo genetic programs to develop strength and aggression. During battle, they enter a hormonally induced rage and can become chemically addicted to the adrenal rush.

3. Indoctrination & CommandFanatical Faith: Regardless of their origin, they develop a zealous, fanatical faith in the Omnissiah shortly after inception.Neural Synching: They are implanted with neurosynch devices that suppress independent thought and enforce unquestioning obedience to their Tech-Priest commanders.Binary Processing: Skitarii brains are modified to understand and share binary code directly, allowing for unparalleled tactical multitasking and silent, coordinated cooperation.

[worthy knot]

It's honestly so random how skitarii are depicted in books

In some grey knight books they're basically tech guards and are totally autonomous, but are radical

Other books like Skitarius have them have an autoshunt to turn off emotions or pain receptors and turn into a servitor essentially

Generally theyre all controllable by a war magos or even a tech priest

Theyre worded as being to dream and to worship

[halcyon dragon]

yeah they are pretty weird, if you compare em to the other factions/universes

[worthy knot]

The only thing, as usual w 40k, that's consistent in their depictions is how inconsistently theyre depicted

We'd have to see how theyre depicted in the lore according to darktide since a consistent thread in skitarii is that theyre beholden to their manufacturing forge world

[viscid sparrow]

really no idea. i mean they shoot radiation, so how its gonna be in the gameplay?

[worthy knot]

Atp theyre like clones from star wars

[sterile tendon]

as far as i know they have no radiation in dt

[worthy knot]

[viscid sparrow]

Skitarii get the only actively detrimental Aura in the game, opposite of beacon of purity.

[sterile tendon]

Hell Darktide may as well give us the rest of humanity's defenders like Nulls, Ratlings, and Sisters.

[viscid sparrow]

This is why they banned abominable intelligence.

[viscid sparrow]

Ratlings are I think a no-go due to the height.

[worthy knot]

yeah

they said a while ago they're not doing that

[lusty granite]

Correct.

[worthy knot]

many many moons ago

just make em fast enough to escape mobs and they'll be fine

I don't see how you can really implement blanks, their condition doesn't really give any inherent defined abilities lkke Psykers have

[noble turret]

It would also be actual torture for the psykers in the party

[worthy knot]

catachans?

[sterile tendon]

[worthy knot]

we got catachans as the first drop ever

like the very first rotation after the beta

[viscid sparrow]

Blanks are also rarer than Psykers aren't they.

[noble turret]

Yes

[rain geyser]

The could nullify demons

[worthy knot]

it think it's only ever re-rotated one time after

[noble turret]

Much rarer

[lilac prawn]

Tiny hobbit sniper that are BRIT ISH

[noble turret]

But blanks would be literal torture for our Psykers so probably big no

[lilac prawn]

Or maybe Scottish I have no idea

[sterile tendon]

knowing fatshark they'd buff scriers gaze to make up for blanks

[viscid sparrow]

That's not really much of a design hook. Like its obvious what you can do with Psyker or Ogryn.

[lilac prawn]

Nah more psyker variants there are many other psyker powers that we've yet too touch tbh

[noble turret]

Nope

Less psyker variants

They deserve nothing

[lilac prawn]

More brain popping!

[viscid sparrow]

There isn't much you can do to make "anti warp aura" into a class

THE MACHINE GOD IS MOST GENEROUS

[rain geyser]

Skitarii can have personalities, though it varies widely by the Forge World and the commanding Tech-Priest. While some are heavily modified into emotionless, lobotomized puppets, others retain their human quirks, intellect, and tactical independence, often functioning as highly obedient, zealously religious soldiers

[humble rock]

"Magos, remind me of my mission again?"
"You are doing a naked infiltration, snakeus skitarii. This means all equipment must be procured on site..."

[honest magnet]

Hadron IT Support

[rain geyser]

The Spectrum of Autonomy
Mind-Wiped Puppets: Some Skitarii have their emotional centers completely removed and are implanted with directives. They act as simple extensions of the Tech-Priests, speaking in unison and following orders without a second thought.
Enhanced Humans: Many are treated more like elite human soldiers. They retain their memories, personal habits, and differing personality traits. Higher-ranking Skitarii, such as Marshals and Alphas, often display significant individual initiative and cognitive awareness

[summer dirge]

My guess, FS choose alpha primus exactly to them have personality

[velvet pond]

My skitarii is not on the spectrum

[summer dirge]

Bc as I mentioned, they are special ones

The Influence of Forge Worlds

[honest magnet]

do magos still have D?

[velvet pond]

Yes

[rain geyser]

Some Forge Worlds (like Mars) heavily regulate their cybernetic troops to prevent insubordination.
Others grant their Skitarii deep latitude, allowing them to train, socialize, and practice distinct rites outside of combat

[summer dirge]

That was irony and not supposed to be met positively

[velvet pond]

The flesh is weak but not that flesh

Still have that intact

They'd have pretty boring banter otherwise

[lusty granite]

Ok?

[humble rock]

Mechadendrites for the robots, flesh bits for the ladies

[rain geyser]

Even the most independent Skitarii undergo severe mental alterations when combat begins. Their commanding Tech-Priests may override their free will entirely or flood them with combat stims and data-directives. In these moments, they become single-minded, calculating engines of war, completely disregarding their own lives to achieve the objective.

[honest magnet]

should've just let it go and change it to SSDs

[rain geyser]

kitarii names in Warhammer 40k reflect their cybernetic conditioning, acting more like military serial codes, forge world production designations, or binary syntax than traditional personal names.

[summer dirge]

Still, what is look better

[velvet pond]

Its in a jar probably 300+ years old

[velvet pond]

Imagine he has a jar purely to show off his still existant D within history as some sort of self righteous belief

Stinka-69

[summer dirge]

No, stroika is a russian word

[crimson crane]

Time to bust out the real questions:
What do you think the Skitarii will refer to the other classes as, what will the other classes refer to the Skitarii as, and what will Skitarii refer to other Skitarii as?
e.g. Hive Scum calling other Hive Scum "Mucker", Arbitrator calling Psyker "Liability", Zealot calling Veteran "Templar", etc.

[velvet pond]

Meatbags

😂

[honest magnet]

pre-servitor?

[summer dirge]

Probably they would refer to us as Hadron

[rain geyser]

There is a name generator lol

[crimson crane]

For which class?
Each class has a seperate nickname for every class.

[humble rock]

[summer dirge]

[summer dirge]

AdMech don't care, they see all of us as flesh one's

[crimson crane]

I see no reason for Fatshark to break the trend set by all 6 other classes though

It's literally part of the banter

[honest magnet]

Skitarii -> everyone except psyker = pre-servitor
Sk -> psyker = Battery (as in for warp jump)

[humble rock]

fleshbitches
warpbitches

[summer dirge]

But, well, that would be lore accurate

[humble rock]

rotbitches

[crimson crane]

I can see Skitarii maybe referring to the Hive Scum as "Ferals".

[velvet pond]

As scum

Hive scum

Will be seen as scum 😂

[crimson crane]

It wouldn't be lore inaccurate to have class based nicknames either if they're of the memory-having and personality-keeping variety.

No?

Plus, again, banter is, like

[summer dirge]

Well........

[crimson crane]

one of the things that makes a Tide game.

[summer dirge]

I mean yeah

[humble rock]

hives coom

[velvet pond]

The banter needs to be semi passive aggressive but not wrong

So its clear to see it will be racism

[crimson crane]

Blunt assessments with no attempt at being insulting that just come across as insulting anyway

[summer dirge]

But point is, if you think zealot is ceo of racism, you just didn't speak to any admech guy, so I wouldn't be against if Skitarii would literally see all of other classes as flesh bag

[velvet pond]

Well yes because the skitarii is not fully flesh and more machine id say

[summer dirge]

More funny would be reaction of others to Skitarii character

[velvet pond]

This being said would make them straightforward and stubborn

[humble rock]

actually raging hard at non-admech fans misinterpreting the wide variety of admech personalities

[lusty granite]

The Skitarii being joyful about getting the Mobian steel is gonna be funny

[summer dirge]

Ogrin would call it as "tin can", cadian vet as "karkin robot" and etc.

[crimson crane]

I imagine they'd be indifferent to Veterans at very least, considering in the trailer they were moderately respectful to the Moebian 21st

[velvet pond]

Ultimately they have a collaborative way of thinking due to how dictatorship the machinicus is

[summer dirge]

Well, probably vet and cop but nothing more, ig

[velvet pond]

Id say its a mix of personalities really.

[humble rock]

"haha guys shovels amirite! im going to step on landmine for the emperor!"
"haha guys penis into toaster amirite? im going to wake up necrons for the magos"

[crimson crane]

I imagine there'll be some butting of heads with the Zealots regarding the "correct way" to show deference to the Emperor and Omnissiah, and then also butting heads in regards to the correct title in that regard as well.

[honest magnet]

@crimson crane why do you question these interactions and how fat shark plans to execute these?

[crimson crane]

Because I like speculating.

And talking with the community.

It's something to pass the time with.

[summer dirge]

The damn class would release only in end of june but they open chat now

[velvet pond]

Ay no issue just the questions im curious about

Surely at the end of it all they ultimately agree on a idea

So speculating could only make it feel confusing when it doesnt hit the expectation I guess

[summer dirge]

Yeah, that...

*There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal.

There is no strength in flesh, only weakness.

There is no constancy in flesh, only decay.

There is no certainty in flesh but death.*

[humble rock]

I like the HMkids version over the stringstorm version

[velvet pond]

Anyway

The guns

Whats the options?

Galvics will have mks i hope

Arc rifles

Plasma pistol...

[mellow storm]

new weapons for skitarii are galvanic rifle, arc rifle, phosphor blaster, arc maul, skitarii power sword, and transonic sword & dagger. No word on any marks or anything yet

[velvet pond]

No issue

[summer dirge]

WHOOOO, NECRON WEAPONS, LESGOOOOO

[velvet pond]

Still id like to see how they plan to make these weapons "come to life"

[mellow storm]

we also don't know what current weapons skitarii will get, but I expect power sword, plasma gun, and the usual all-class lineup

[honest magnet]

TECH HERESY!!

[summer dirge]

No, we politely borrow them

[velvet pond]

The plasma pistol still doesnt exist sadge

[kindred grotto]

which one of those is the necron weapon?

[velvet pond]

🥀

They aint necron weapons

Created in 30k

[kindred grotto]

Thought so, that comment confused me

[honest magnet]

isnt phosphor blaster close enough?

[velvet pond]

They were made and designed in 30k when mars was popping off

[kindred grotto]

its a phosphorus gun

[summer dirge]

Transsonic blade and knife based on necron ones

As I know

[mellow storm]

i'm really curious what phosphor blaster is gonna be like. My assumption is it's a revolver that sets the target on fire

[kindred grotto]

I'm gonna have to raise an eyebrow on that

[velvet pond]

30k-40k lore is so fragmented its hard to truely know i guess

[kindred grotto]

You're not thinking of the Xenophase blade are you

[velvet pond]

Overall its "international" by design to make you question it.

Like wise I can't fully agree with "fandoms" which give out bais looks on what the 40k verse is.

[kindred grotto]

Probably apply fire stacks would be my guess

[pallid rock]

my dream is it being in the same vein as grenade gauntlet.

[velvet pond]

Its like how does the machinicus has psychic titans yet transonic swords are taken from the necros which makes it all hard to believe. We have both warp manipulation and stolen tech all in the same field even if the 30k mechanicus was that advanced in it time.

[summer dirge]

Translate:

Disgustingly
LONG SKITARII

Now will shoot from disgustingly
LONG GUN

[velvet pond]

That rifle better bet 10fold more aggressive over the hellbore

But knowing fatshark theyll outright say its on the same level as a hell bore

Which doesn't make sense.

Long barrel = more damage

[young panther]

That's a transuranic arquebus

Also just gonna say longer barrel =/= more damage

[summer dirge]

Yes, bc after getting it, you don't to worry of not getting it

[median steeple]

Longer barrel means bigger base on the miniature lol

[velvet pond]

Well.....

[noble turret]

Luckily, we aren't getting it

[velvet pond]

Im sure in the 30k they were measuring barrel lengths

As you know

[young panther]

The arquebus fires depleted transuranium
(Depleted uranium rounds)

It's an anti-materiel rifle basically

[velvet pond]

Anti-material and lazer rifle i feel are in the same area for 40k

Just because it says antimatter its like comparing the bolter with rocket powered rounds

Kinda not, the arquebus functions more like a railgun than a laser rifle

[last dagger]

Statement highly illogical.
Flesh on top of steel is merely an exposed vulnerability.

[oak ember]

you are born with weak flesh

the omnissiah provides you the knowledge and skill to build better flesh

[last dagger]

Error.

Flesh corrupts what steel perfects.

External organic tissue serves no mechanical purpose.

[icy haven]

Providing counter point, the softness of the flesh could be used as impact dampener, protecting the important steel bits further.

[oak ember]

fellow north is correct in their reasonning

[last dagger]

To rely on the softness of flesh for protection is to invite weakness.

[icy haven]

Thank you brother, John Evil Fucking Skitarii the Skitarii

True defense is found only in the absolute certainty of steel

True dominance requires no deception.
The raw terror of mechanized steel is a far superior weapon.

[oak ember]

counter point

[last dagger]

The Omnissiah does not hide behind masks of decay

[oak ember]

helbrutes are terrifying

[last dagger]

Helbrutes are twisted by the Warp.

Statement of trade offer. The Necrons Flayed Ones have offered various cybernetical augments in exchange for a supply of "Yummy skin". Should we answer ?

Your foe wouldn't be salvaging you if you had destroyed them, proving the inefficiency of your design

[last dagger]

Logic loop terminated.
Astorius has achieved total tactical superiority.

[oak ember]

Implying automatic victory over your foe is highly arrogant doctrine

and tactically disastrous

[last dagger]

It is not arrogance.
It is statistical certainty in the grand design of the Omnissiah.

[oak ember]

I will notify fabricator general never to supply your craft ever again

[median steeple]

Basing one's design on making it unusable for your enemy only implies that you expect to lose more than you try to win.

[last dagger]

To predict failure is to lack faith in the machine spirit.
Your logic remains corrupted.

[oak ember]

it is named reasonnable doubt

the data is very broad and the scenarios very varied

[supple whale]

destruction is not failure in the eyes of the omnissiah. if you achieve your objective, your death or life is irrelevant

[median steeple]

A well made machine may succumb, but Victory, and therefore Recuperation, are ineffable. 'tis ordained.

[oak ember]

technology shall not fall in the hands of your enemy

[median steeple]

It can't if your enemy doesn't have hands anymore

[oak ember]

cut two hands, and a thousand more will come

[last dagger]

That is why the Omnissiah blessed us with self-destruction protocols and plasma overcharges.
Flesh is a redundant barrier.

[oak ember]

What if

[last dagger]

heretical if

[oak ember]

You build yourself as an unstoppable construct of glorious steel

with an external protective artificial dermis

ensuring maximum resistance

[last dagger]

REJECTION.

Synthetic skin adds non functional mass.

Armor plating remains the only acceptable exterior

[oak ember]

Uh oh anyways

hop in the helbrute

[last dagger]

This is a severe logic error and an insult to the Omnissiah

[oak ember]

🫵

true mechanicum will prevail

[last dagger]

The True Mechanicum will prevail.
Your heresy has been logged.

I would have sent it now that I have the powder, BUT THIS DAMN CURSE!!!!!

I possessed the sacred powder protocols first, but this damn curse delayed my vox-chatter!!!!!

[oak ember]

[last dagger]

NO A PROBLEM XD

[median steeple]

Pass the powder, brother in the Omnissiah

SKITARII JUNE 23RD

[frail verge]

[median steeple]

How do you think he ended up as a servo skull

[oak ember]

because he is venerable

[proven storm]

Dev blog at some point between now and June 23 but also possibly afterwards knowing FS

[oak ember]

venerable are severely physically impacted by the consequences of their feats

[frail verge]

they said a dev blog every week till skitarii with the first Dev blog being about cosmetics

[median steeple]

Inefficient, release the class now and then make the devlogs

[last dagger]

agree

[oak ember]

skitarii advent calendar

[proven storm]

Cancel the class dev blogs next year

[lilac prawn]

Patience is a virtue

[twin oxide]

Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy

[remote scroll]

I dont actually

Idk when the devblogs come out or whats in them

[twin oxide]

You're not even allowed to tell us that you do know anything? They've been refining the contract, I see

[proven storm]

Cole playtests the dev blogs

[jagged marten]

[median steeple]

Prepare the oil margharitas

[median steeple]

Hell, color config would be great on all classes

[frail verge]

Sorry you got to pay for colour choices and they have to be FOMO

[jagged marten]

robe colors are most likely based on forgeworld

[oak ember]

sorry dude bros, only mars

[proven storm]

But also the others are unlockable like scoom

[jagged marten]

trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[median steeple]

I can't have my purple robes?...

[twin oxide]

Unless we get a limited selection between a few like how the hscum had the different gangs they could choose, probably not

But that very well could be what they do anyway

[frail verge]

Forge world Twitch was burned for heresy so no twitch admech.

[jagged marten]

i dont see why not

unless all our skitarii are from branx minor

[twin oxide]

Don't say that name so loud or you're going to draw in the minecraft youtubers 💔

[median steeple]

Don't worry just say "kill" instead of "unalive" and they'll flee back to their monetised safe spaces

[proven storm]

They're from several forge worlds we already know this

[jagged marten]

i know

so we will have forgeworld colors

[oak ember]

forgeworld colored skitarii named resin

[frail verge]

Can't wait to rage bait people with my skitarii's name alone.
Elon Muskitarii will be born

[median steeple]

Moskitorii will sting you

[oak ember]

my orgyn is already named Skitogriin

[boreal reef]

Glup Skitto

[median steeple]

Marvelous

[frail verge]

My bet for the most unoriginal name that will plague the lobbies is going to be skittles

[oak ember]

[median steeple]

(Also HUGE wish on my part and i know it will never happen but... I would like the Secutarius Shield and Spear as a playable weapon)

[jagged marten]

[frail verge]

One day.

[oak ember]

[oak ember]

https://tenor.com/view/robocop-show-me-robocop2014-gif-19813937

[frail verge]

I like these skitarii memes more than the girly/ femboy memes

[jagged marten]

sillytarii

[silk lantern]

ÒwÓ

[jagged marten]

i like the clean raw aesthetic more

[frail verge]

I wonder if they're gonna do something similar with skitarii as they did with arbites and show a more human side of them or are skitarii gonna be just robots with slightly different personalities between eachother

[oak ember]

or the more based one

literally me fr fr

[tough wedge]

Give me hunchback skitarii that moves very slowly.

[jagged marten]

[oak ember]

my forever favorite john blanche piece

[frail verge]

Damn I just learnt about a rogue AI terrorising Forza 6.
Bowie knife99
It's apparently based off a real player behaviour but it will hunt down racers to crash into them ignoring the track and driving erratically.

Maybe admech are onto something about AI

[oak ember]

biotransferance
