cadian armor / standard issue bolter

[Jane Warhammer]

the only two things i personally NEED fatshark to implement. who knows maybe the next 60 minutes will even surprise me but PLEASE give us a standard cadian armorversion for the veterans and maaaaybe give the ogryns access to standard adeptus astartes bolters. little lads got resized bolters so why not throw some standard versions at the big bois? pretty please? fatshark? pleeease!

Lore-wise we'd never get access to the same pattern of bolter the Astartes use, as they're all sacred weapons reserved for the Astartes alone. The patterns of bolter used by other arms of the Imperium are certainly possible though. A heavy bolter would be rather nice to see on the Ogryn.

i actually thought i had said please don't start with lore but i forgot. i know that lorewise it's not gonna happen but still. other than the cadian armor there is nothing i would want more than bolter wielding ogryns

I think is more than possible to see cadian armor in game, because even backstory has it.

I think we need to consider that fatshark are trying to avoid Space marine related stuff in this game. There is already a bolter which is OP af and fun to use. But the standard issue bolter was made for space marines and is much larger and heavier to use than the ones we have in currently.

100% some standard Cadian armor. Id give my left leg for a chance at some of the classic Cadian gear

Unfortunately there is no chance for an Astartes derivative of Boltgun pattern ever—ever—being given to an Ogryn, nor a Heavy Bolter. Ogryn's - even the Bone'eads, often resort to using their guns as bludgeoning weapons.

And given how sacred Astartes armaments are, they would never, ever give a Boltgun of that calibre to them—the weapon is actually much more complex than the Locke pattern we use in the game (and that's specifically designed for non-augmented human use), and a Heavy Bolter actually has even more complexity. The Ogryns wouldn't know how to use them.

Legit all Ogryn weapons are designed to be brutal, efficient - and most importantly since their most intelligent is still on the dense side, simple.

Cadian pattern armor though is a possibility. Even though we technically already wear armor on the Veteran that is replicant of Cadian pattern - as it became staple throughout the Imperium as a blueprint.
