#skitarii-class
1 messages · Page 23 of 1
The skill tree will be the defining unique feature of the skitarii, I think.
The ability to make nearly any kind of playstyle from one class is wild.
Watch people ignore any form of build crafting and just dmgmaxx
Skitarii
There's a third archetype
Something something storm of electricity
Yeah, it would be unfathomable for the other classes to have a melee build path and a ranged build path generally also with a support path
And idk if there's more
I'm right here man you ain't gotta call me out like that
support/hybrid styles: "Guess we don't exist then"
so called hybrid styles when they face heresy difficulty:
it's all nice and good, but it will just end in damagemaxxing
as usual
rangers are not snipers
rangers are the infantry of the adeptus mechanicus
they will chase an enemy for as long as the tech priest wants
we've got Hastarii for the heavy infantry role but the vanguard are 'not quite heavy' infantry
Not the game's fault people treat the tree like minmax simulator instead of make your own fun simulator
unfortunately, the objective is to kill enemies
and going forward while killing enemies
U can do it in more ways than DMG maxxing 
the hastarii are basically even heavier vanguards when you look at em
But what of i want to hug the enemies
Only because the devs refuse to let us make builds that are OP in the other catagories for some strange reason. Like when Arby and Ogryn could face tank everything they nerfed it, but also love to buff damage maxxing like when the scum RPG turned into a nuke launcher from fallout series.
Waiter waiter another balance discussion pls
Needing to waste points just get a blitz eh
aura's are usually kind of bad with exceptions, so you can probably skip those entirely.
are we making up things to get mad about again
No?
okay good
yES
To this
The answer is always yea
we'll burn that bridge when we get there
Cap extra % is always good
we'll beat that horse when it reaches water
It seems it doesnt have a stim lab tab
womp
So yeah the cog is its unique thing
Mayhaps a tab to upgrade servo skull
maybe servo skull lab instead, yeah.
Well I bought the game when I saw skitarii reveal so I am gonna play it
noice welcome
Wot da hyll is the cog
Idk why I slept on darktide so long its actually really good
He's opened his eyes to find real peak
And you came after all the fixes
I dont super dig the current classes but they are fine
It's different from every other game and doesn't have the best marketing ig
Gameplay is fire
I just wanna be a mangled torso with prosthetics
Agreed
The classes are peak if u go deep
You missed out on when darktide was broken, buggy, rng mess etc.
Well gameplay was the same but yea everything else was weird. Like the old skill system
Rn I got lvl 30 veteran, 21 psyker, 25 arbites and 22 hive scum
Like the old class system was the one in VT2, but there was only like 4 classes vs VT2 20 classes
I dont have havic yet tho
Game starts when hit level 30 and get max gear tbh
I wanna do it with skitarii
support your local forge world
I get it but I just wanna play skitarii
Rashad when you get handed it as a zealot starter vs Rashad when you actually have BruMom
I am trying all classes while I wait
Very wise
Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
The quickest way to level a new character is to do whatever is the hardest difficulty you have access to(or are able to clear consistently) and when you can get curios put the XP booster on them. You can remove the XP boost for something else later or replace the curio with a much higher level one.
Didnt even know xp boosters existed
Well Ill put it on
yeah there's a 10% XP perk for curios
Yea its a curio perk
i only play havoc these days, BruMo kinda matters a lot less in H40s xD
That would have saved a lot of time
But I will level up skitarii faster
I really dig arbites and hive scum atm
Yeah, should take about 20% less games or so with XP booster perks from start to finish.
I just wish they would ve revealed it closer to release
If u like scum you'll like zealot
A whole month edging is long
Zealot is less dmg but more tanky
I wanna try ogryn cause it looks unique
Well, it gives you time to farm resources for the new class and also can max out some of your current classes.
Big goofy fella
I mean I have enough to make everything orange for a few classes
Nahh you wanna roll brunts lottery to get that god roll stats than upgrade
I’ll try not to look for skitarii meta builds till I am level 30
I usually just wait for a good item in the shop rotations
Yeah the shop sells perfect rolls if u check often
I got a lot of godrolls on scum by just checking it
But I still did the XP cheese anyway
Faster leveling and I had mats
Yeah thats what I do
Brunts only gives garbage
Wasted money when I had none and gave me nothing
Oh yea this
I got half a mill now but still not enough to waste on random rolls
Nice. I suggest at least 3 million dockets and several hundred thousand plasteel and diamantine for a new class release. It'll stop weapon upgrading from stalling out, although I always spam buy greys and upgrade them to green just to use them for XP.
Just keep throwing dockets till you get something
If you have plenty of money, you buy grey weapons for a good roll
Yeah half a mill is nothing
Oh wait by store I meant brunt's store not milk or whatever his name is
I bet you earn a lot doing auric maelstorm and havic but I aint done any of that
And by brunt I meant buying greys
Low diffs give nothing
Low diffs are just stepping stones yeah
Yeah, auric is a money farm.
Damnation is better for plasteel/dia farm since it is faster to get through generally and both auric and damnation have the same amount of stuff to pickup iirc.
Yes I never did an auric mission yet
I need mah skitarii
I could with my veteran but I dont feel like it
Would rather level up other classes
Fair enough. I do suggest keeping a buffer of crafting supplies and dockets for skitarii.
Oh and btw if you need to farm dockets, you can also put 3 +10% dockets perks across 3 curios. I have a couple builds setup on my hivescum for this specific purpose.
dont need survivability if everything is dead 
guys can we convince fatshark to release skitarii on june 7th instead because thats my birthday
No.
:D
Honestly the one thing that has kept me away from DT is the voicelines. most characters are just insufferable lol.
VT2 idle dialog and inter party banter is peak
if I hadnt experienced VT2 I probably wouldnt mind DT lol
but skittles gives me hope to have a non 40k screaming crazy person take about things
VT2 characters are more dynamic because they are original and have their own personality and backstories
I just cant deal with the character I'm playing giving me the yucks half of the time
HOGGERS BRIDGE?
this guy skipped the peak.....
I can't wait till we get more 3 person convos in DT
I AM A MOUNTAIN I FEEL - OWW - NOTHING
Where do we come from? Over the mountain...
Veteran is the only actually decent character in darktide
Professional background veteran specifically
Objection, policeman is cool, bc he just fuck around with everyone
yeh, also the realistic arbites dude seems decent.
the "well lex used to be perfect maybe but at this point it kinda just is"
but there is nobody I vibe with.
I am praying to sigmar the omnissiah and anyone available willing to hear it, that the skitarii personalities feel properly admech
CLANK CLANK CLANK
Chill/not completely assholian personalities in the game:
fem Seer
either Savant
usually male Judge (he has moments with the psykers)
fem Professional
Normal-ish personalities (regular ass people dealing with 40k hell):
male Fatalist
male Loose Cannon
Haven't really heard the fem Arbitrators much, but I can't say I've ever heard them act any semblance of chill or normal
all of the fem zealots would skin people like deer
Some of their nuances take time to notice
Authoritian is the more friendly one
however you spell the name, i keep messing up
For fem Arbitrator?
My girlfriend plays fem arbitrator
Funny how that worked out
yes
They're very assertive
Fatalist is a pretty funny one
The voicelines
I dunno what lore shit she chose but
fem arbitrator is pretty like
assertive
I might make one for a while but honestly I love male Fatalist so much
petty ass diva
loser
the weird uncle
Not even that he's just a dick in the way working a job you hate for your entire life makes you
arctic cold take but i enjoy loose cannon
professional veteran is too peak dawg
fem Professional is such a pal
eh, male one is kinda bland to me where I want to see him being attacked by hounds
this is normal
I wanna see him thrown into a wall like a stuffed animal
i hear male prof so much with the bots so i want him to get ripped apart
TRAXIS SOMETHING-WHATEVER
Lmfaooooooooo
either Loose Cannon is hilarious
That does sound better but dt compared to every other pve game I played had an insane amount of effort put into the voices and dialogue
Majority of other games have few distinct voice lines and catchphrases
Dt mfs be having full blown debates in-game lmao
Wahoo!
Sigma-something's dead!
Honestly Fatshark always have been great at banter in their games
with darktide it feels they stretched it far more
"Who hurt you arbitrator?"
Professional male veteran
from a massive roster of characters
including our classes
I swear there's a line male Loose Cannon has whether he straight up yells "yeehaw" but I've yet to see it again
yes he does
guys can yall pray for my wifi's machine spirit
I've been hoping to hear it again but I switched to fem Professional for my ratling
thanks
I enjoy the sarcastic scoundrel
I am vengeance. I am the night. I am BATMAN.
Watch it get intimidated and skyrocket
THE OMNISSIAH IS THE MOST GENEROUS
Also he says funny things like this
Still one of my favourite clips 
He was in such a great mood
The voice delivery and enthusiasm is so good
TIME TO EARN OUR PAY
Not just our characters but the enemies and NPCs still have great dialogue and voice perfomance
i heard one of the female psyker lines asks where the combat music is coming from
might've heard it at some point myself but it's been a while
huahhauhhaa imgonnacatchya -Trapper
probably Seer
she's a very 4th wall kind of girl
Honestly
I think the generic conversations can work
its just that the characters have to have you know
interesting conversations
they like have to be characters and not at the same time
lex mechanicus discussion between arbitrator and skitarius
I wonder how many techpriests would consider the Branx pattern weapons as tech heresy
"Grok is this true" vibes
The Arbites at least in lore if I recall are annoyed by the fact there is a jurisdiction boundary between them and the mechanicus
i mean yeah
Will skitari be any good in havoc 40
they would probably just be all judgey, so to speak
ehehe
BIG
ty
No worst class ever
Malice viable
My Logax-77 is ready to clank in Tertium
few word do good
Skitarii will allow many players to succeed in Havoc for the first time by utilizing an Ability that does all their aiming for them
It's one of those lines that trigger when you're surrounded by lots of enemies, so it plays less often the better you play, unfortunately
The conversations between characters has been an absolute high point of the game
I have almost 1000 hours and it still feels like I hear new quips every few games
Thats cause your character personality does change slightly based off homeworld and past
They add more convos every update
If you play consistently you can tell which are new
Oh thats nice although i didnt think aiming was integral for most classes already.
I've seen many zealots share that opinion while they completely ignore several snipers
I see. In that case long live skitari autoaim
i took a potshot at a sniper 80 meters away earlier
didnt see what happened to their head but it certainly wasnt compatible with life
Yep
admech faction in darktide
You guys think the cord claw is gonna make it into the game on release?
If not as part of an ability, i'm sure itll be a cosmetic
Since it looks like the transsonic blade will be a dual weapon, maybe it'l be a skin for the smaller blade
That would be cool. I dont know if we need more "go crazy and get better melee damage" abilities but i would be fine with this
no
best chance is having it as a blitz somehow
Hope it can make it through a future update if it doesn’t
fist weapon tomorrow
can't wait for them to finally also give sienna a glock
1911
If the Glock is perfect why is the aftermarket for parts so large?
what if hive scum got BIGGER dual stubbers
Double plasma
i want that heretic to turn to ash
is this the real one......
guess it's time for hi intensity maelstrom after I make my male LC again
wait
male Loose Cannon proves that cowboys are a type of immortal spirit
you have to aim in this game?
why do you think they keep modding precise weapons so they don't have to use iron sights 
I honestly prefer the weapons with iron sights at this point
i aint using iron sights im gonna be fr
You say as desperado already exists 
I really wish my recon las had a holo sight.
gotta mod cause fs aint doin it...
The flashlight is nice though, but if it had a flashlight and holo sight.. that would be peak.
Heresy is afoot
Tech heretic! The STC should be in the admechs hands
I believe Munda is negotiated to be independent
Just like on the simulation
Why bald
How much do you know about Van Saar
I’m just learning the name now
Don’t even know the person
They're a gang on necromunda, they have a busted stc that makes em advanced weaponry and tech but it causes everything to leak radiation.
They all have cancer from the Dark Age iirc era combat suits
Nah like
Most of it is there
It prints shit wrong
Ah
Nuclear powered combat suits tho
That sounds absolutely shit
Suits look cool as shit tho
Necromunda is one of the cooler settings GW does, would recommend
not Deimos
What that exosuit?
the trash world hides great relics
unfortunately, it's also the trash world
Arachni-rig
tiny agave looking plants on the bases......
hehe
Heavy skitarii look so ugly
reminds me of the votann squat tech, but less runes and taller
Probably the same tech tbh
good to see, given the common dark-age origin
Nah, the suits aren't leaking radiation, the STC does. The suits actually protect them somewhat and eventually become necessary to keep them alive
Thanks
How does a blueprint irradiate everything around it?
Well an STC is
STCs aren't just blueprints
it can be an entire construction apparatus
up to AI construct
Stc’s are factory’s?
A complete STC can hypothetically make everything a civilization on a world needs iirc?
@sudden pivot come talk about STCs
the definition is kinda wonky i think
at least, that's how it felt when i tried looking into it
I differ to their expertise
Or is it just a general term?
really it seems like a catch-all term between blueprints and factories, or the data they contained?
Makes me think about stl’s on my 3d printer
blueprints
but yeah intact STCs are constructors
while many are just blueprints ripped from them
land raiders as an example, afaik
turns out adeptus mechanicus cant do shit without blueprints
follow the instructions and pray omnissiah
If they let themselves be creative and make shit they could probably do something
But tzeetch or something
Idk
Essential step #939b: Light incense and insert into nearest vox grille. Praise the Omnissiah.
That's because STC
Is used as a catch-all
For different parts of an STC
Standard Template Construct Systems
And
STC Blueprints often called fragments
getting mya lpha primus surgery tomorrow wish me luck
A working STC is essentially a big factory and library for jump starting a colony
STC fragment = (sometimes)usable blueprint
Intact STC = dark age of technology autonomous constructor system
completely forgot the terminology used the word fragment
dark age techpriest be crafting galaxy ending weapons ngl
There is also broken STCs that are intact however are too unreliable to use
not really techpriests
since they were still doing actual invention to make the things
pre grim era scientists
techpriests are just worshippers of their work, essentially copying notes
and often dogmatically frowning on actually understanding how it works
much like Adrian back in high school.
Admech didn't exist prior to the collapse of the dark age of technology
Cawl actually smart though
The cult of machine was formed as a response to the collapse
it's built on how mars survived
scavenging
A dark age of technology ship if I recall was disgusted by a tech priest
And just left the galaxy
i love darktide
at the end of the day, the mechanicus just exists to vulture on any technological relic
omnissiah just rage quit
Nah void dragon is still sleeping
actually the existence of an omnissiah is dubious at best, and Literally Just A C'tan at worst
it's me actually
Commencing procedure: Open beer can. Status. Success. Orient contains into mouth servo motor.
h0ly sh1t
Which honestly I find the theory that there is a thriving human civilization outside of the Galaxy fitting in a way ?
I mean what is more grimdark than knowing all that suffering and trouble was worthless as you could have just.. flown out of the Galaxy
rogue trader moment
Well, given the tyranids are tyraniding,
not the worst choice
but likely not free of endangerment, all sharpened biological horrors considered
I wonder when will Tyranids become a problem again
We have chaos, Orks and Tyranids as major problems but neither is really being the major problem they're all sorta equally annoying
Necrons are ya know an issue but they're to some extent negotiable
Seeing horrors I cannot comprehend
...
I can't comprehend them
At least Newcrons
unless they figured out necron tech or something
then they're fine
lm a o
robort skeleytones
me when necrons can lose only in the first 2 minutes of gameplay
I wanna get the new one in september
lookin lit
i would wait
you can play necrons and admech
campaign, new factions
wonder how the campaign even works considering they will be adding new factions with time
there are only 3 at release?
I mean space marines, astra militarum, orks, necrontyr and admech are playable at launch nah?
maybe Im confusing with total war
admech and space marine are 100%
and necrontyr
aand orks?
no astra militarum
thats total war
well still you get to play some cool ass factions
I wonder what eldar would play like
like in 1
i expect every returning faction to play something like 1
except maybe the necrons
yeah of course in the end i will play anything
but imperial army is just the best
man, it's not even launching with any chaos faction, now that i think about it
isn't that crazy
btw i suggest playing dawn of war 1 with unification mod or titanium wars
The guard have to get added at some point
unification mod adds a shitton of factions
they are probably in the game the same way the imperial army was in the game in dawn of war 1's first release
that is, very basic units mostly there for window dressing in missions
but yeah, i expect it to be the first release, then chaos faction(s)
They are adding catachan and elysians in their next big update as factions
As well as the iron warriors
Iron warriors are a subfaction
yeah
Those other guard ones are their own factions
no i mean
Like unique
instead of just having "imperial army"
Oh yeah
they are doing subfactions of them
They already got the vostryan firstborn and steel legion and pratorians and krieg as factions
Well all of em have unique buildings and units too
And unique tech and vice lines
Salamanders emps children, imperial fists, blood angels
i imagine they share a core
there is only one Imperial Guard and his name is John Guardsman
There is currently like 28 factions in the mod
and differ in some unique units/tech etc
wait, that's unification war
i thought you were talking about dow4
he was chosen to replace Ollanius P. Guardsman
(forgot they made a dow3, and better i return to forgetting it exists)
The space Maine factions are the most similar to each other
The guard factions are all actually really unique
yeah i did play some of unification
all very cool, it's just a shame it had no campaign
which they apparently added recently
They sent Maine into space??
honestly i prefer Twin Heavy Lasglorbers over the Abjorp Autoflorps other militarum units use
the guard from Amongulus in the Fingus domain gotta be my favorite
straight outta segmentum glorbnar
🔥
elysians are fun though
Has a price for the class and deluxe dlc been confirmed yet?
i'd take the hivescum's current price
Who here truly remembers the dark age of technology?
The dark ages had a name it was AOL online...
I was born and got access to internet right after that
playing warcraft 3 maps with a 10\1 net speed
baud modems
at 4 mbps
I also forgot Earth Link
they still exist 
Prodigy Internet
I first computer had 48k memory a tape drive and cartridge slots the fastest unit was a floppy disk
you destroyed totems?
And no-one even knocked down
Ofc
just destroying a single totem increases your damage by like 30%
it gets ridiculous at 3+
just the event, you reach something like 130% more damage
and speed
and damage resistance
and toughness regen
So that's red buff I can't find in my talents tree is totems
The right zealot build can one tap a DH with just it's own buffs
Also, that's explain why me on a cop just live forever
please be like power sword
shiv 2 but good
It's a dualie, almost certainly a port of the elf sword+dagger in vt2
So probably stupid strong
Why? It should go straight through the armour and cut flesh
I have doubts about that
I mean, lorewise
I mean lorewise everything would have 0 cleave
But i wouldn't complain if they made a great generalist
Shivs are that and people love them
that still about my internet speed at 6mb/s
They could get weird with it, poor ADM until they resonate with an armour type then they skyrocket vs that armour type.
So you gotta strategically pick your resonance and focus those targets first. Maybe the special is what decides it or smth
6 MB/s or 6mb/s
megabytes per second
That's like 60 mbps
oh
I was locked, AT BEST, at 400KB/s
I'm thinking a blessing that gives bonus rending to the last target's ADM hit but tbh it will probably just be the same Brittleness we've come to see in other stuff
It's an easy match to bring gameplay and lore in sync
@white blade @mild pawn @gusty siren There are 3 types of things when referring to STC, either the entire constructor + connected library, bits of data from the library + certain things constructed by the constructor that have information stored on them along with being the final product
Feel like I missed an important conversation
Is this about the whole alpha primus admech factory
its a lot simpler than i was expecting ngl
no just defining STC
Ah
I feel like I’m missing something
But could just also be misremembering
But isn’t a stc from like
Almost 10k years ago
Or can they also be more recent
League of vitamin
The flintstone legion
But yeah they’ve been adding to their stc’s
Alright cause. I was gonna ask
They had very very early DAOT STCs
So they’re missing some of the batshit insane tech
Not to say they have none
They have a way to mine black holes lol
Like how the fuck is the alpha primus thing a stc when I swore the admech weren’t a thing then
is it described as an stc?
Honestly I have no damn clue
I thought the phrasing was "an old Adeptus Mechanicus facility"
He’s not
I’ve just seen a lot of discussion around an STC on atoma and something relating to the admech
I'm pretty sure it's just a facility with fancy ass augmetics
They’re not only on atoma
Shouldn’t other planets also have the same facility
Yes
Hell even ships have augmentation facilities
It’s just that hadron doesn’t have skitarii
Or the facilities to augment them
On the mourning star
She prolly has a place she can servitorize people though lol
if i'm not mistaken, Atoma was the area's industrial powerhouse before Branx Minor got set up proper
Skitarii need a more “delicate” touch
Also atoma as a hive city is heavily industrialized
We don't know the exact details. But after we've been gathering all the tech-remnants during the expeditions, Hadron has apparently been given access to an old admech facility that can perform Alpha Primus upgrades.
I’m ngl I thought the skitarii being shipped there was for some like specific type of upgrades
there's nothing to imply that the facility is unique to atoma
I just wonder how that character creation is going to look like after the devblog, seeing a nugget encased in steel and alloy
I’m not saying that, I’m wondering why send un-upgraded skits there to then be upgraded
My assumption is that whatever she has found has gotten the admech interested enough to get in on whatever Grendyl is up to, but in order for that to be a possibility they need admech units that can function in the types of missions we undertake. Hence the alpha primus stuff
They’re likely existing skitarii on world
so they can properly seize the technology for themselves
Ah so it’s kinda just like
it's entirely self interest
they were already here
on atoma
Spontaneous job promotion
fighting against the moebians
they're now being upgraded to alpha primus so they can assist hadron because of her discoveries regarding moebian steel and tech remants
Okay that’s making more sense then
regular skitarii arent autonomous or capable enough for infiltration missions like the ones we do
they're line soldiers
The ingame lore drop we got during this event says there were always skitarii cohorts here, they just didn't intersect with our missions due to incompatible combat doctrines
They essentially go from remotely controlled RTS units to independent units
Nah
Skitarii are fully independent
They can be taken control of but skitarii are fully sentient and sapient and autonomous
Regarding the Martian standard skitarii we’re playing as and the minis are
True, but i guess with the Alpha Primus they are a lot more adaptable
Yes
They’re also granted full independence for being able to be puppets
Skitarii veterans and field officers are the only ones who don’t get that “privilege”
And alpha primes are field officers
Wait so is there any actual lateral advancement beyond a skit prime?
skitarii are so cool
Tribunes and subtribunes exist at a forgeworld or tech priests decision
I coulda swore someone mentioned right around the time of this place opening that
Alpha primes and marshals are of equal standing
Are they?
No
poor him he really have enough of us and imagine the pain he will get once skitarii release ?
Marshals are the highest rank
Alpha primes are from 7e and are formerly the highest ranking skitarii in a legion
But they’re gone from tabletop now since they were a stopgap with no mini lol
So our guys aren’t marshals right?
No
That would be like putting a random like
Commander
lol
It would be like if rannick started tagging along on missions
For some reason lol
There’s only 4 marshals per legion max lol
Assuming standard formation
Ok ok im getting the ebb of it now
So like alpha primes are like lieutenants
Yes
And then there’s also like tribunes and subtribunes sometimes
Who are like generals lol
They’re pretty rare though since they’re usually not required for most battlefields
the method we are getting to make more alpha primus on atoma is also a unique piece of archaeotech, normally there would not be so many alpha primus deployed in one war zone
Tbh it could just be hadron ignoring rank structure lol
It’s not like they gave her an entire macroclade/clade
Probably
Hadron handing out upgrades like Oprah giving out cars
Gives hadron a normal clade, all the alpha’s and princeps mysteriously become alpha primes
Hadron-Omega-7-7, Here are some Skitarii, do with them as you wish
Oh Hell Yes
Tbh seeing as our skittles are from multiple forgeworlds there’s a non 0 chance she just got given the leftover squads and members lol
iirc they are sending regular skitarii to atoma which are then being upgraded on planet to alpha primus
See I’m wondering what the cost of that is
Maybe constant shipments of mob steel
In exchange for troops
We have skitarii planetside already
Tbh I’d assume for our skittles they’ll avoid Metalica bcs it’s also got white robes like branx
I think he’s referring to additional units
Oh
Best way I can explain it is like
Hey guys look I upgraded my soldiers
I can upgrade yours too
And with a added bonus
I’ll pay in mob steel for each batch you send
That’s my assumption
Tbf
They can just do it themselves
The skitarii are likely around to pursue the different forgeworlds interests
Or maybe they’re presenting a united front in terms of what they “want”
Between mobian steel and the skit upgrade facilities the admech doesn't really need any other motivation. They wouldn't really be buying it, nobody else can even make anything with it other than them
I shoulda worded it better
Yeah it’s not buying per say
More like bartering
Hey I need guys
I can better equip your guys
And since you sent them
I can help by providing resources
I don't think it's a very massive operation btw. My assumption is that it's like Arbites and Hadron will get a couple dozen upgraded skittles to use, and the majority of the deployed skitarii cohorts will stay as they are. Zorin didn't come with hundreds of Arbitrators either, the ones you see in their intro cutscene are all of em.
I think the deal is something like "I'll send you a bunch of troops and a blank check to have them upgraded, but in return you share a cut of the tech the skitarii recover from Atoma with our forge world"
Tbh seeing as they’re from a random grab bag of forgeworlds is weird lol
Not that I mind
But atoma’s industrial stuff seems to be run by multiple dif forgeworlds
Smaller and greater forges sending one another supplies and troops.
Tbh we’ve seen 2 major forgeworlds and one minor one
Ryza and Mars are among the top 3 largest
And then we got poor branx minor
lol
B-minor
Just for customisations sake I think
Branx are the local mid tier sports team
Branx is just letting their neighbor borrow a cup of sugar
You leave my grey and blues alone
Branx #1
They have style
Wonder if they’re a slaved forgeworld of Metalica
lol
Or just a coincidence they’re white
Ah yes... branx of course...
(servo skull where is that)
It’s like
It's here
A whiteish blueish grey
Moebian
In the moebian dominion
The local up and coming forge world
Do we have the picture?
ohh
I’m lazy to get it
Atoma is a Hive world and an industrial world but it's not ruled by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Branx Minor is, and it's gearing up to exceed the aging and failing Atoma in industrial output
Branx Minor pattern on the right
Yeah maybe my color coordination is scuffed
It just look like a light grayish color
Almost like acid washed
It looks like a dirty white to me
I personally dig the Branx Robes
Choosing between these is gonna be difficult they are all really good
Tbf
We got 4 more forgeworlds apparently
So stygies might be on the table if you want black robes lol
Praying on that black coat
If I could mix and match
Got bailed out by the eldar during the heresy and now have a weird obsession with studying their stuff lol
I’d take the black coat with the mars black cloth underneath
Not a fan of the red armor?
Nah
I like to have a little more variance with my fit
Box standard is silver armor lol
Word?
Though stygies is red for a hilarious reason
Yeah robes red, Silver armor with gold and bronze is mars
Stygies is black robes, red armor and gold
Stygies being red armor wise is because if they get caught doing something they shouldn’t
They just tear their robes off, burn them
And say they’re from mars
This works 99% of the time because imperials literally do not know any better
Yes
Ah, just kinda figured it always stayed on for like
Easier to model a hood than whatever's going on underneath there
Religious purposes or something
Nah rangers have a full mask
That’s fair
Lemme find the robeless ranger
Can arbites detain mechanicus people or do they have some sort of immunity
Mechanicus has its own policing, arbites usually do not get involved
Actually looks kinda cool without the hood on
A bit bald
But I can look over that this once
I dont think the omnissiah likes hair too much
The Prefecture Magisterium hates external influence on the mechanicus
They barely tolerate the inquisition looking into stuff
There’s another one lemme find it
Makes sense
Acuitor Mech-Assassin from the Dark Heresy Lathe Worlds supplement
Very loud THUNK when you punch one
That just looks like a gimp mask
Also for skitarii vanguards don’t wear a robe over their head
40k has convinced me that the larger the collar on your jacket, the more important you are
It’s like power scaling but for fashion
That rifle we’re getting
That kinda looks like that
Is that like a shotgun
The arc rifle is designed for anti vehicle work
Admonition is gonna be soo mad
It’s like a literal lighting gun
It’s also as loud as lightning
It basically generates an artificial lightning bolt from the gun to the target and then it “strikes”
I know a big ole cone shaped thing in arc raiders that does something damn near similar
Except it also shoots out explosive arc mines
Launch skitarii is probably gonna be the closest thing we get to space marines in terms of raw power
Judging by everything they have
The rejects are already debatably stronger than space marines at this point.
Ogryn straight up is stronger than them actually but just doesn't have the combat prowess like they do.
How any daemons or other higher followers of nurgle have barely intervened is beyond me
Ogryns would be too OP if they could count past 5
and pronounce "eliminated"
When the Skitarii finally arrive the Mourningstar is gonna look like Space Marine 2 loudout selection forge
They finally get their pre-heresy gear upgraded to be standard
hungry 4 augments
Would adam smasher be respected in the church just based on his bodily modifications
Are skitarii lobotomized stoopids or can they repair stuff
Next question are demons the capable of possessing Skitarii?
dont see why not though havent seen a chaos skit just yet
I mean they are human right?
Yes
maybe a little...
they're called the Dark Mechanicum
Fairly sure demons can possess just straight up machines even.
daemons can possess machines, so I guess they can possess skitarii no problem
... ninja'd
Smash gets flipped to Khorne before anything
yeah in rt there was that one chaos admech ship with fricked up servitors and priests but no skit
or iforgot
Thats very likely
Ain’t no way that mental patient doesn’t immediately fall to chaos
Khorne would love having him around
dude would have some warp inhibitor augment and thats it
I’m his weapons would be considered weak as hell for the setting
They generally have enough autonomy to act on their own with guardrails so they probably can do minor repair work at the most (prayers and rites that don't require being a part of the Cult priesthood), for their own equipment
Unless he got some major upgrades
But we're not going to see kornite demons, dark tide is all about the grandfather
Also that crazy demon computer henrix tries to use.
oh yeah
40k robots aren't even real robots
they have like techno organic junk in their brains
you have a tech priest fiddling around with it in "the First Heretic"
even 40k ships are using haemolubricant in their cogitators and other mechanical bits which the Word Bearers drink instead of water
And that’s it
Sandevistan is good until someone reverse-engineers it or something
hjave they tried drinking water instead
If you don't think it can be solved by servitor then you solve it with Skitarii because they're much smarter without as much lack of control and/or faith
im sure it tastes better
That would mean you’d have to kill smasher first
Which mean
It wouldn’t be difficult
they ran out after being trapped in the Warp
Depends which faction kinda
tossing my zealot at smasher
But i think all can
because Lorgar wanted to see what was in the Eye of Terror, and had them yeet themselves in there
and because Word Bearaers are brain dead loyal, they broke their own Gellar field to learn what daemons were like
Unless an inquisitor gets his hands on smasher’s tech, chances are it gets scrapped by the admech
even when all of them were like, "this is a bad idea"
we love the enginseer
Would it be seen as blasphemous?
If smasher is turned to Khorne it probably wouldn’t be smart to try and replicate demonic tech
If you kill smasher prior to him joining chaos
Maybe then?
They might use his body as a frame work for future skitarii maybe
probably not, given how traditional some Ad Mech factions are
That sucks then
the real orthodox ones literally believe all knowledge is to be found in the universe.
which means they don't think up new things you have to literally dig up the knowledge from old ruins
thinking up new stuff is tech heresy
So by this logic
Smasher dies
And his tech is either scrapped
Or buried with him
he gets thrown into an incinerator and used as fuel for a fabricator
Tragic
Admech have as many sects and directly incompatible beliefs as any real religion.
Their definition of tech heresy depends entirely on who is in charge and who is watching.
Imagine smasher’s body frame but made out of mob steel
And his rocket pods replaced with a shoulder mounted grenade launcher
Then keep the sandy
And make that the new model skitarii
Alright
is this the speed up thing in the anime?
How does the cult of mars compare to everyone else?
So there IS possibility someone would reverse engineer Smasher’s body?
Basically yeah
because if it is, good luck dodging the waves of dakka that come with 40K
That would ravage for a while until someone catches wind
like that meme of the mandalorian telling the jedi good luck dodging this buckshot
And the orks make their own
If they move like how normal projectiles work
you'd think that, but GW is making las guns particle weapons
And since his armor isn’t spec’s for 40k
so they now have proectile travel times
A las gun would severely fuck him up
a kraken bolt round would tear through him
A bolt pistol would probably kill him with a few shots if aimed well
Yeah
some admech will also just make new tech and act like they found old tech
That’s why if any admexh were to mass produce Adam’s exoskeleton
They’d have to swap out whatever alloy he’s using with whatever they have
or just convert anyone who asks questions into a servo skull
that's a SM thing
and that's more of a neuromechanical interface rather than any armour thing
lets them pick up eggs in power armour with out crushing them
I mean isn’t Adam’s entire suit neuromechanically controlled?
everyone else doesnt
I think so
Most of his body was shredded before the conversion
that's a brain-machine interface, isn't it?
adam is just the brain
yeah, so slightly different
Okay then yeah, I have no idea how you’d be able to adapt his suit to 40k specs
It'd need a lot of substituting
skitarii
he's just life support and weapons lol
even then, Adam's body is designed for the materials in Cyber Punk
you replace it with 40k materials, you have no way to know if it can even support its own weight
Nah nah he’d 100% be a skit
It’s just material wise
I dunno how you’d make a identical build
There's a chance he collapses or has to lumber around like a juggernaut if stuff like moebian steel was used
it would have to be re-designed from the ground up
and that's a no-no for Ad Mech
usually
unless you're a Xenarite
So at that point it wouldn’t even be a remake of Adam’s suit.
It would be more like
Hey we took inspiration from a random guy we killed
like, even changing the number of teeth on a saw blade to cut open skulls to make servitors can be viewed as Tech Heresy by orthodox Ad Mech
if they were this mentally flexible, they'd be copying more Xeno tech
Fair point
So I guess really and truly, the only valuable pager of Adam would be like
They sandy?
Everything else gets canned
probably
unless they find Adam in some specific situation, like he comes out with an attached STC fragment with all of his specs and designs in it
because then he's golden because he's part of the tech they're trying to find
he'd be worshipped like a saint or angel
That’d end all kinds of horrible
it's 40k
"Praise to the omnissiah! A saint!"
"Who the fuck are you?"
