frigid monolith
#

Because no one uses that term

#

As it is archaic

light hornet
#

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.

uncut cloak
#

yeah

#

like the melee playstyle

#

and the ranged playstyle

#

and nothing else

heavy citrus
#

Watch people ignore any form of build crafting and just dmgmaxx

astral apex
#

Skitarii

heavy citrus

heavy citrus
#

And idk if there's more

uncut cloak
#

the veteran build

#

the zealot build

white blade
light hornet
uncut cloak
#

so called hybrid styles when they face heresy difficulty:

#

it's all nice and good, but it will just end in damagemaxxing

#

as usual

young panther
#

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

heavy citrus
uncut cloak
#

unfortunately, the objective is to kill enemies

#

and going forward while killing enemies

heavy citrus
#

U can do it in more ways than DMG maxxing Haha

young panther
#

the hastarii are basically even heavier vanguards when you look at em

eager dirge
light hornet
heavy citrus
#

Waiter waiter another balance discussion pls

sharp aurora
#

Needing to waste points just get a blitz eh

uncut cloak
#

oh right, those are on the far points

#

that's a good point

light hornet
#

aura's are usually kind of bad with exceptions, so you can probably skip those entirely.

tranquil flume
#

are we making up things to get mad about again

heavy citrus
#

No?

tranquil flume
#

okay good

heavy citrus
tranquil flume
#

we'll burn that bridge when we get there

tranquil flume
#

we'll beat that horse when it reaches water

sharp aurora
#

It seems it doesnt have a stim lab tab

lilac prawn
sharp aurora
#

So yeah the cog is its unique thing

lilac prawn
#

Mayhaps a tab to upgrade servo skull

light hornet
#

maybe servo skull lab instead, yeah.

sharp aurora
#

Well I bought the game when I saw skitarii reveal so I am gonna play it

heavy citrus
#

Wot da hyll is the cog

sharp aurora
#

Idk why I slept on darktide so long its actually really good

lilac prawn
#

And you came after all the fixes

sharp aurora
#

I dont super dig the current classes but they are fine

heavy citrus
sharp aurora
#

Gameplay is fire

lilac prawn
sharp aurora
#

I just wanna be a mangled torso with prosthetics

heavy citrus
#

The classes are peak if u go deep

light hornet
lilac prawn
sharp aurora
#

Rn I got lvl 30 veteran, 21 psyker, 25 arbites and 22 hive scum

light hornet
#

Like the old class system was the one in VT2, but there was only like 4 classes vs VT2 20 classes

sharp aurora
#

I dont have havic yet tho

heavy citrus
sharp aurora
#

I wanna do it with skitarii

heavy citrus
#

Before that it feels off

#

A lot of weapons are pure ass without their proper builds

brittle mortar
#

support your local forge world

sharp aurora
#

I get it but I just wanna play skitarii

white blade
sharp aurora
#

I am trying all classes while I wait

white blade
heavy citrus
light hornet
sharp aurora
#

Well Ill put it on

light hornet
lilac prawn
#

Yea its a curio perk

icy briar
sharp aurora
#

That would have saved a lot of time

#

But I will level up skitarii faster

#

I really dig arbites and hive scum atm

light hornet
#

Yeah, should take about 20% less games or so with XP booster perks from start to finish.

sharp aurora
#

I just wish they would ve revealed it closer to release

heavy citrus
#

If u like scum you'll like zealot

sharp aurora
#

A whole month edging is long

heavy citrus
#

Zealot is less dmg but more tanky

sharp aurora
heavy citrus
#

Ogryn is very fun

#

I like him

light hornet
heavy citrus
#

Big goofy fella

light hornet
#

Ogryn when nosh time

sharp aurora
lilac prawn
sharp aurora
#

I’ll try not to look for skitarii meta builds till I am level 30

sharp aurora
heavy citrus
#

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

sharp aurora
#

Yeah thats what I do

#

Brunts only gives garbage

#

Wasted money when I had none and gave me nothing

heavy citrus
#

Brunt gives perfect rolls if u have lots of money

#

It's gambling

lilac prawn
sharp aurora
#

I got half a mill now but still not enough to waste on random rolls

light hornet
lilac prawn
#

Just keep throwing dockets till you get something

wet ginkgo
heavy citrus
#

Yeah half a mill is nothing

#

Oh wait by store I meant brunt's store not milk or whatever his name is

sharp aurora
#

I bet you earn a lot doing auric maelstorm and havic but I aint done any of that

heavy citrus
#

And by brunt I meant buying greys

sharp aurora
#

Low diffs give nothing

heavy citrus
#

Low diffs are just stepping stones yeah

light hornet
sharp aurora
#

I need mah skitarii

#

I could with my veteran but I dont feel like it

#

Would rather level up other classes

light hornet
# sharp aurora 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.

guys can we convince fatshark to release skitarii on june 7th instead because thats my birthday

ashen jay
#

Honestly the one thing that has kept me away from DT is the voicelines. most characters are just insufferable lol.

heavy citrus
#

I love the voices

#

And the dialogue

#

The best in any pve game imo

ashen jay
#

lol wat

#

VT2 would like to know your location

heavy citrus
#

I didn't play vt2

#

But I heard it has better characters

ashen jay
#

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

wet ginkgo
#

VT2 characters are more dynamic because they are original and have their own personality and backstories

ashen jay
#

I just cant deal with the character I'm playing giving me the yucks half of the time

#

HOGGERS BRIDGE?

wet ginkgo

#

I can't wait till we get more 3 person convos in DT

# astral apex Veteran is the only actually decent character in darktide

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

oblique sapphire
tranquil flume
#

Some of their nuances take time to notice

wet ginkgo
#

however you spell the name, i keep messing up

tranquil flume
#

For fem Arbitrator?

astral apex
tranquil flume
#

Funny how that worked out

wet ginkgo
astral apex
wet ginkgo
#

Fatalist is a pretty funny one

astral apex
#

The voicelines

#

I dunno what lore shit she chose but

#

fem arbitrator is pretty like

#

assertive

tranquil flume
#

I might make one for a while but honestly I love male Fatalist so much

#

petty ass diva

#

loser

tranquil flume
#

Not even that he's just a dick in the way working a job you hate for your entire life makes you

gusty siren
#

arctic cold take but i enjoy loose cannon

astral apex
#

professional veteran is too peak dawg

tranquil flume
#

fem Professional is such a pal

astral apex
#

professioal overall is peak then

#

lmao

tranquil flume
#

eh, male one is kinda bland to me where I want to see him being attacked by hounds

#

this is normal

astral apex
#

Male one is fine wdymmmm

#

#

from a massive roster of characters

astral apex
#

Do not talk about darktide banter being bad

#

lmao

wet ginkgo
#

including our classes

tranquil flume

I swear there's a line male Loose Cannon has whether he straight up yells "yeehaw" but I've yet to see it again

neat laurel
#

guys can yall pray for my wifi's machine spirit

tranquil flume
#

I've been hoping to hear it again but I switched to fem Professional for my ratling

He was in such a great mood

The voice delivery and enthusiasm is so good

#

TIME TO EARN OUR PAY

wet ginkgo
#

Not just our characters but the enemies and NPCs still have great dialogue and voice perfomance

gusty siren
#

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

rose spoke

tranquil flume
#

she's a very 4th wall kind of girl

young panther
#

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

gusty siren
#

lex mechanicus discussion between arbitrator and skitarius

civic ledge
#

@neon galleon Could you pin the following

neon galleon
gusty siren
#

I wonder how many techpriests would consider the Branx pattern weapons as tech heresy

neon galleon
#

"Grok is this true" vibes

young panther
#

The Arbites at least in lore if I recall are annoyed by the fact there is a jurisdiction boundary between them and the mechanicus

gusty siren
#

i mean yeah

patent flume
#

Will skitari be any good in havoc 40

gusty siren
#

they would probably just be all judgey, so to speak

Simple but effective

sterile tendon
#

few word do good

icy reef
lavish smelt
#

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

icy reef
#

I have almost 1000 hours and it still feels like I hear new quips every few games

lilac prawn
white blade
#

They add more convos every update

lilac prawn
#

to my knowledge

#

And that too

white blade
#

If you play consistently you can tell which are new

patent flume
icy reef
#

I've seen many zealots share that opinion while they completely ignore several snipers

patent flume

#

didnt see what happened to their head but it certainly wasnt compatible with life

young panther
#

how the game is gonna look on june 23rd xp

tidal pendant

Yep

fiery onyx

and i can't wait to see it happen

#

and be part of it while i'm at it

dense solstice

#

You guys think the cord claw is gonna make it into the game on release?

twin wasp
#

If not as part of an ability, i'm sure itll be a cosmetic

pallid rock
#

Current theory seems to be it'll be a ult

#

Go sicko mode for a bit

twin wasp
#

Since it looks like the transsonic blade will be a dual weapon, maybe it'l be a skin for the smaller blade

twin wasp
sterile tendon
#

best chance is having it as a blitz somehow

mild pawn
#

Hope it can make it through a future update if it doesn’t

sterile tendon
#

fist weapon tomorrow

balmy birch
#

can't wait for them to finally also give sienna a glock

mild pawn
#

1911

balmy birch
#

no

#

glock is perfect

#

and sienna is perfection

white blade
#

If the Glock is perfect why is the aftermarket for parts so large?

sterile tendon
#

what if hive scum got BIGGER dual stubbers

Double plasma

I honestly prefer the weapons with iron sights at this point

i aint using iron sights im gonna be fr

or arby shotgun

or the entirety of psyker

How does a blueprint irradiate everything around it?

gusty siren
#

Well an STC is

white blade
#

STCs aren't just blueprints

gusty siren
#

it can be an entire construction apparatus

white blade
gusty siren
#

up to AI construct

mild pawn
#

Stc’s are factory’s?

white blade
#

A complete STC can hypothetically make everything a civilization on a world needs iirc?

#

@sudden pivot come talk about STCs

gusty siren
#

the definition is kinda wonky i think
at least, that's how it felt when i tried looking into it

white blade
#

I differ to their expertise

mild pawn
#

Or is it just a general term?

gusty siren
#

really it seems like a catch-all term between blueprints and factories, or the data they contained?

white blade
#

It mean Standard Template Construction or something

#

Construct

mild pawn
#

Makes me think about stl’s on my 3d printer

sharp aurora
#

why they tweetin the reveal trailer

#

give me the real sauce

sharp aurora
gusty siren
#

but yeah intact STCs are constructors

#

while many are just blueprints ripped from them

#

land raiders as an example, afaik

sharp aurora
#

turns out adeptus mechanicus cant do shit without blueprints

#

follow the instructions and pray omnissiah

mild pawn
#

If they let themselves be creative and make shit they could probably do something

#

But tzeetch or something

#

Idk

gusty siren
#

Essential step #939b: Light incense and insert into nearest vox grille. Praise the Omnissiah.

lavish smelt
#

luv me van saar boys

young panther
#

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

sterile tendon
#

getting mya lpha primus surgery tomorrow wish me luck

young panther
#

A working STC is essentially a big factory and library for jump starting a colony

gusty siren
#

STC fragment = (sometimes)usable blueprint
Intact STC = dark age of technology autonomous constructor system

#

completely forgot the terminology used the word fragment

sharp aurora
#

dark age techpriest be crafting galaxy ending weapons ngl

gusty siren
#

Yes

#

well

young panther
#

There is also broken STCs that are intact however are too unreliable to use

gusty siren
#

not really techpriests

#

since they were still doing actual invention to make the things

sharp aurora
#

pre grim era scientists

gusty siren
#

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.

young panther
#

Admech didn't exist prior to the collapse of the dark age of technology

sharp aurora
#

Cawl actually smart though

young panther
#

The cult of machine was formed as a response to the collapse

gusty siren
#

it's built on how mars survived
scavenging

young panther
#

A dark age of technology ship if I recall was disgusted by a tech priest

#

And just left the galaxy

sand folio
#

i love darktide

gusty siren
#

at the end of the day, the mechanicus just exists to vulture on any technological relic

sharp aurora
young panther
#

Nah void dragon is still sleeping

#

actually the existence of an omnissiah is dubious at best, and Literally Just A C'tan at worst

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

uncut cloak
#

rogue trader moment

gusty siren
#

not the worst choice

#

but likely not free of endangerment, all sharpened biological horrors considered

young panther
#

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

summer dirge
#

Seeing horrors I cannot comprehend
...
I can't comprehend them

young panther
#

At least Newcrons

gusty siren
#

then they're fine

#

lm a o

uncut cloak
#

i should play dawn of war again

#

those necrons were cool

gusty siren
#

robort skeleytones

uncut cloak
#

me when necrons can lose only in the first 2 minutes of gameplay

sharp aurora
#

lookin lit

uncut cloak
#

i would wait

sharp aurora
#

you can play necrons and admech

uncut cloak
#

it looks like it's shipping very barebones

#

campaign is coming out later even

sharp aurora
#

so what we waiting for

#

just the units?

#

lmao

uncut cloak
#

campaign, new factions

#

wonder how the campaign even works considering they will be adding new factions with time

#

there are only 3 at release?

gusty siren
#

that's

#

odd sounding

sharp aurora
#

I mean space marines, astra militarum, orks, necrontyr and admech are playable at launch nah?

uncut cloak
#

i really don't think so

#

but lemme check

sharp aurora
#

maybe Im confusing with total war

#

admech and space marine are 100%

#

and necrontyr

#

aand orks?

#

no astra militarum

#

thats total war

uncut cloak
#

4 factions

#

yeah that's ass

#

space marines, necrons, orks and am

sharp aurora
#

well still you get to play some cool ass factions

uncut cloak
#

not playing until they add imperial army i fear

#

or votann

sharp aurora
#

I wonder what eldar would play like

uncut cloak
#

like in 1

#

i expect every returning faction to play something like 1

#

except maybe the necrons

sharp aurora
#

personally I would play necrontyr and admech

#

well I would play everything ngl

uncut cloak
#

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

mild pawn
#

The guard have to get added at some point

uncut cloak
#

unification mod adds a shitton of factions

mild pawn
#

They are already in the game anyway

#

Likely gonna be the first dlc faction

uncut cloak
#

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)

mild pawn
#

Chaos faction is gonna be fun

#

With all the new units

golden marsh
#

As well as the iron warriors

uncut cloak
#

oh so they are doing subfactions like that

#

that's cool

golden marsh
uncut cloak
#

yeah

golden marsh
#

Those other guard ones are their own factions

uncut cloak
#

no i mean

golden marsh
#

Like unique

uncut cloak
#

instead of just having "imperial army"

golden marsh
#

Oh yeah

uncut cloak
#

they are doing subfactions of them

golden marsh
#

They already got the vostryan firstborn and steel legion and pratorians and krieg as factions

uncut cloak
#

i think dow1 handled it with like

#

exclusive upgrades

#

damn

golden marsh
#

Well all of em have unique buildings and units too

#

And unique tech and vice lines

#

Salamanders emps children, imperial fists, blood angels

uncut cloak
#

i imagine they share a core

gusty siren
#

there is only one Imperial Guard and his name is John Guardsman

golden marsh
#

There is currently like 28 factions in the mod

uncut cloak
#

and differ in some unique units/tech etc

#

wait, that's unification war

#

i thought you were talking about dow4

gusty siren
#

he was chosen to replace Ollanius P. Guardsman

uncut cloak
#

(forgot they made a dow3, and better i return to forgetting it exists)

golden marsh
#

The guard factions are all actually really unique

uncut cloak
#

yeah i did play some of unification

#

all very cool, it's just a shame it had no campaign

#

which they apparently added recently

dark ravine
gusty siren
#

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

#

#

Am I missed smth but why dh is like.. oneshotable thing

#

We killed 3 mfs in a row

uncut cloak
#

you destroyed totems?

summer dirge
#

And no-one even knocked down

summer dirge
uncut cloak
#

just destroying a single totem increases your damage by like 30%

#

it gets ridiculous at 3+

summer dirge
#

Por que

uncut cloak
#

just the event, you reach something like 130% more damage

#

and speed

#

and damage resistance

#

and toughness regen

summer dirge
#

So that's red buff I can't find in my talents tree is totems

pallid rock
#

The right zealot build can one tap a DH with just it's own buffs

uncut cloak
#

also that

#

i meant the event totems

#

Also, that's explain why me on a cop just live forever

#

please be like power sword

uncut cloak
#

In theory, they should have poor cleave

#

But incredible antiarmor adm

burnt pelican
#

shiv 2 but good

uncut cloak
#

So is this one weapon

#

Or different weapons

pallid rock
#

It's a dualie, almost certainly a port of the elf sword+dagger in vt2

#

So probably stupid strong

summer dirge
uncut cloak
#

I have doubts about that

summer dirge
#

I mean, lorewise

uncut cloak
#

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

neat laurel
karmic verge
#

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

@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

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

I was pinged earlier lmao

#

I wasn’t available tho lmao

dense solstice
#

Is this about the whole alpha primus admech factory

mild pawn
gusty siren
#

no just defining STC

dense solstice
#

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

sudden pivot
#

They’re all from the DAOT yes

#

Aside from some league of votaan stuff

dense solstice
#

League of vitamin

sudden pivot
#

Jfc autocorrect

#

lol

dense solstice
#

The flintstone legion

sudden pivot
#

But yeah they’ve been adding to their stc’s

dense solstice
#

Alright cause. I was gonna ask

sudden pivot
#

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

dense solstice
#

Like how the fuck is the alpha primus thing a stc when I swore the admech weren’t a thing then

brittle mortar
#

is it described as an stc?

dense solstice
#

Honestly I have no damn clue

brittle mortar
#

I thought the phrasing was "an old Adeptus Mechanicus facility"

dense solstice
#

I’ve just seen a lot of discussion around an STC on atoma and something relating to the admech

sudden pivot
#

Oh wait

#

Alpha primus skitarii?

#

Nah

#

They’re just a skitarii upgrade

dense solstice
#

So now I have more questions then

#

Why atoma specifically

gusty siren
#

I'm pretty sure it's just a facility with fancy ass augmetics

sudden pivot
#

They’re not only on atoma

dense solstice
#

Shouldn’t other planets also have the same facility

sudden pivot
#

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

gusty siren
sudden pivot
#

Skitarii need a more “delicate” touch

#

Also atoma as a hive city is heavily industrialized

lavish smelt
#

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.

dense solstice
#

I’m ngl I thought the skitarii being shipped there was for some like specific type of upgrades

brittle mortar
dusty lantern
#

I just wonder how that character creation is going to look like after the devblog, seeing a nugget encased in steel and alloy

dense solstice
lavish smelt
#

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

sudden pivot
gusty siren
dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

If we take the darktide W&G stuff as canon

#

There’s skitarii around on tertium

gusty siren
#

it's entirely self interest

brittle mortar
#

on atoma

dense solstice
#

Spontaneous job promotion

brittle mortar
#

fighting against the moebians

sudden pivot
#

Yeah they’re already Alpha’s

#

So an upgrade to alpha prime is a promotion

#

lol

brittle mortar
#

they're now being upgraded to alpha primus so they can assist hadron because of her discoveries regarding moebian steel and tech remants

dense solstice
#

Okay that’s making more sense then

brittle mortar
#

regular skitarii arent autonomous or capable enough for infiltration missions like the ones we do

#

they're line soldiers

lavish smelt
#

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

sudden pivot
#

Yeah

#

Sounds about right lol

dusty lantern
#

They essentially go from remotely controlled RTS units to independent units

sudden pivot
#

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

dusty lantern
#

True, but i guess with the Alpha Primus they are a lot more adaptable

sudden pivot
#

Yes

boreal reef
sudden pivot
#

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

sudden pivot
dense solstice
#

Wait so is there any actual lateral advancement beyond a skit prime?

sudden pivot
#

Yes

#

Skitarii marshals are the highest ranking skitarii in a legion

thin birch
#

skitarii are so cool

sudden pivot
#

Tribunes and subtribunes exist at a forgeworld or tech priests decision

dense solstice
#

Alpha primes and marshals are of equal standing

#

Are they?

sudden pivot
#

No

willow goblet
#

poor him he really have enough of us and imagine the pain he will get once skitarii release ?

sudden pivot
#

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

dense solstice
#

So our guys aren’t marshals right?

sudden pivot
#

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

dense solstice
#

Ok ok im getting the ebb of it now

sudden pivot
#

Usually one gets picked out to be in charge

#

Of the rest of the Marshals

dense solstice
#

So like alpha primes are like lieutenants

sudden pivot
#

Yes

dense solstice
#

Gotcha

#

Makes sense now

sudden pivot
#

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

heady aurora
#

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

sudden pivot
#

Tbh it could just be hadron ignoring rank structure lol

#

It’s not like they gave her an entire macroclade/clade

#

Probably

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

Gives hadron a normal clade, all the alpha’s and princeps mysteriously become alpha primes

gusty siren
#

Hadron-Omega-7-7, Here are some Skitarii, do with them as you wish
Oh Hell Yes

sudden pivot
#

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

heady aurora
#

iirc they are sending regular skitarii to atoma which are then being upgraded on planet to alpha primus

dense solstice
#

See I’m wondering what the cost of that is

#

Maybe constant shipments of mob steel

#

In exchange for troops

sudden pivot
#

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

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

Oh

dense solstice
#

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

sudden pivot
#

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”

pallid rock
#

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

dense solstice
#

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

brittle mortar
#

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.

boreal reef
#

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"

sudden pivot
#

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

lusty granite
#

Smaller and greater forges sending one another supplies and troops.

sudden pivot
#

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

lusty granite
#

B-minor

brittle mortar
pallid rock
#

Branx are the local mid tier sports team

sudden pivot
#

Yeah

#

We gotta bat for them

boreal reef
#

Branx is just letting their neighbor borrow a cup of sugar

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

Branx #1

dense solstice
#

They have style

sudden pivot
#

Wonder if they’re a slaved forgeworld of Metalica

#

lol

#

Or just a coincidence they’re white

dense solstice
#

Is it white?

#

I swear it looks like a grey

#

But not like a dark grey

obtuse herald
#

Ah yes... branx of course...

(servo skull where is that)

sudden pivot
#

It’s like

brittle mortar
#

It's here

sudden pivot
#

A whiteish blueish grey

brittle mortar
#

Moebian

sudden pivot
brittle mortar
#

The local up and coming forge world

dense solstice
obtuse herald
#

ohh

sudden pivot
#

I’m lazy to get it

boreal reef
brittle mortar
#

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

boreal reef
#

Branx Minor pattern on the right

brittle mortar
#

But for now Atoma is the local big dog

#

Detroit just before the collapse

dense solstice
#

Yeah maybe my color coordination is scuffed

#

It just look like a light grayish color

#

Almost like acid washed

sudden pivot
#

It looks like a dirty white to me

dusty lantern
#

I personally dig the Branx Robes

obtuse herald
# boreal reef

Choosing between these is gonna be difficult they are all really good

sudden pivot
#

Tbf

#

We got 4 more forgeworlds apparently

#

So stygies might be on the table if you want black robes lol

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

The sneaky forgeworld

#

lol

dense solstice
#

If I could mix and match

sudden pivot
#

Got bailed out by the eldar during the heresy and now have a weird obsession with studying their stuff lol

dense solstice
#

I’d take the black coat with the mars black cloth underneath

sudden pivot
#

Not a fan of the red armor?

dense solstice
#

Eh

#

It feels kinda box standard

sudden pivot
#

Nah

dense solstice
#

I like to have a little more variance with my fit

sudden pivot
#

Box standard is silver armor lol

dense solstice
#

Word?

sudden pivot
#

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

dense solstice
#

Styg sounds like the move

#

But also

#

Do the admech ever take their hoods off

sudden pivot
#

This works 99% of the time because imperials literally do not know any better

sudden pivot
dense solstice
#

Ah, just kinda figured it always stayed on for like

lavish smelt
#

Easier to model a hood than whatever's going on underneath there

dense solstice
#

Religious purposes or something

sudden pivot
#

Nah rangers have a full mask

sudden pivot
#

Lemme find the robeless ranger

obtuse herald
#

Can arbites detain mechanicus people or do they have some sort of immunity

sudden pivot
sudden pivot
dense solstice
#

A bit bald

#

But I can look over that this once

obtuse herald
#

I dont think the omnissiah likes hair too much

sudden pivot
#

The Prefecture Magisterium hates external influence on the mechanicus

#

They barely tolerate the inquisition looking into stuff

sudden pivot

#

Acuitor Mech-Assassin from the Dark Heresy Lathe Worlds supplement

sudden pivot

lol

obtuse herald
#

Very loud THUNK when you punch one

dense solstice
sudden pivot
#

Also for skitarii vanguards don’t wear a robe over their head

dense solstice
#

It’s like power scaling but for fashion

dense solstice
#

That kinda looks like that

#

Is that like a shotgun

sudden pivot
#

That’s the pistol version

#

Nah

#

It’s an anti tank gun

#

Lmao

dense solstice
#

The fuck

sudden pivot
#

The arc rifle is designed for anti vehicle work

obtuse herald
#

Admonition is gonna be soo mad

sudden pivot
#

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”

arctic sinew
dense solstice
#

Except it also shoots out explosive arc mines

sudden pivot
#

I’ve never played so no clue lol

#

Sounds fun

obtuse herald
#

Launch skitarii is probably gonna be the closest thing we get to space marines in terms of raw power

#

Judging by everything they have

void ruin
#

Ogryn straight up is stronger than them actually but just doesn't have the combat prowess like they do.

dense solstice
#

Aka

#

Too dumb

obtuse herald
#

How any daemons or other higher followers of nurgle have barely intervened is beyond me

dense solstice
#

But a random haymaker can make a difference

obtuse herald
#

and pronounce "eliminated"

lusty granite
#

When the Skitarii finally arrive the Mourningstar is gonna look like Space Marine 2 loudout selection forge

obtuse herald
#

They finally get their pre-heresy gear upgraded to be standard

tranquil flume

hungry 4 augments

obtuse herald
#

Would adam smasher be respected in the church just based on his bodily modifications

sharp aurora
#

Are skitarii lobotomized stoopids or can they repair stuff

rain geyser
#

Next question are demons the capable of possessing Skitarii?

sterile tendon
#

dont see why not though havent seen a chaos skit just yet

obtuse herald
#

I mean they are human right?

boreal reef
#

Yes

sterile tendon
#

maybe a little...

late phoenix

Fairly sure demons can possess just straight up machines even.

daemons can possess machines, so I guess they can possess skitarii no problem

or iforgot

obtuse herald

Ain’t no way that mental patient doesn’t immediately fall to chaos

obtuse herald

Khorne would love having him around

sterile tendon
#

dude would have some warp inhibitor augment and thats it

dense solstice
#

I’m his weapons would be considered weak as hell for the setting

tranquil flume

Unless he got some major upgrades

rain geyser
#

But we're not going to see kornite demons, dark tide is all about the grandfather

pallid rock
sterile tendon
#

oh yeah

dense solstice
#

The only advantage I can see smasher having is like

#

The Sandy

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
#

And that’s it

obtuse herald
#

Sandevistan is good until someone reverse-engineers it or something

sterile tendon
#

hjave they tried drinking water instead

tranquil flume
#

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

sterile tendon
#

im sure it tastes better

dense solstice
#

That would mean you’d have to kill smasher first

#

Which mean

#

It wouldn’t be difficult

late phoenix
#

they ran out after being trapped in the Warp

obtuse herald
sterile tendon
#

tossing my zealot at smasher

obtuse herald
#

But i think all can

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
late phoenix
#

even when all of them were like, "this is a bad idea"

thin birch
#

we love the enginseer

obtuse herald
late phoenix
#

depends which Ad Mech faction you have

#

Xenarites use Necron tech like crack

dense solstice
#

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

late phoenix
#

probably not, given how traditional some Ad Mech factions are

dense solstice
#

That sucks then

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
#

Smasher dies

#

And his tech is either scrapped

#

Or buried with him

late phoenix
#

he gets thrown into an incinerator and used as fuel for a fabricator

dense solstice
#

Tragic

pallid rock
dense solstice
#

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

late phoenix
obtuse herald
#

How does the cult of mars compare to everyone else?

dense solstice
dense solstice
late phoenix
#

because if it is, good luck dodging the waves of dakka that come with 40K

obtuse herald
late phoenix
#

like that meme of the mandalorian telling the jedi good luck dodging this buckshot

obtuse herald
#

And the orks make their own

dense solstice
#

If they move like how normal projectiles work

dense solstice
#

The only thing Adam wouldn’t be able to really dodge

#

Is a las gun

late phoenix
#

you'd think that, but GW is making las guns particle weapons

dense solstice
#

And since his armor isn’t spec’s for 40k

late phoenix
#

so they now have proectile travel times

dense solstice
#

A las gun would severely fuck him up

late phoenix
#

a kraken bolt round would tear through him

obtuse herald
#

A bolt pistol would probably kill him with a few shots if aimed well

dense solstice
#

Yeah

thin birch
dense solstice
#

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

late phoenix
dense solstice
#

Like some type of black carapace

#

Or flak

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
late phoenix
#

everyone else doesnt

obtuse herald
#

Most of his body was shredded before the conversion

late phoenix
#

that's a brain-machine interface, isn't it?

thin birch
late phoenix
#

yeah, so slightly different

dense solstice
#

Okay then yeah, I have no idea how you’d be able to adapt his suit to 40k specs

obtuse herald
#

It'd need a lot of substituting

thin birch
#

he's just life support and weapons lol

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
#

It’s just material wise

#

I dunno how you’d make a identical build

obtuse herald
late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
#

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

late phoenix
#

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

late phoenix
late phoenix
#

more like, we killed it, therefore it must be inferior

#

burn it

dense solstice
#

So I guess really and truly, the only valuable pager of Adam would be like

#

They sandy?

#

Everything else gets canned

obtuse herald
#

That and its very situational

#

Khorne and slaneesh would probably like him

late phoenix
#

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

dense solstice
late phoenix
#

it's 40k

obtuse herald
#

"Praise to the omnissiah! A saint!"

"Who the fuck are you?"
