Imperial Assassins

[Minnow]

You should add Imperial Assassins to the game.

[Medicles]

Sure, because an imperial assassin is certainly on the same power level as four slightly competent idiots. Should add a Primarch as well.

[tanksin]

a new class would be nice but game play wise they would kinda just play into the niches we currently have already. id like to see the nuns with guns but they would just be a zealot skin tbh.

[XIX Victorious Aut Mortis]

no. They are worse then spacemrines, they are easily worth 10 maybe 50 marines. spacemarine recuitment is about 1 in 1000 assassins recruitment is about 1 in 100,000. those that surivive the selection process to get into the training stage in even lower. as recruits basically have to go through hell, then surivie the augmentation process and gene therapy. and when finally allowed to undertake missions that has to be singed off by the high-lords of terra. so 4 assassins on or one assassin requires the signing off from them the inqustion doesn't actually have operational control of the assassin. they monitor and watch for sign off curroption or chances of going rouge. the closest you going to get is deathcult assassin and we got that in the form of right tree zealot.

How about a Aldari?

[Medicles]

All four characters are part of the Astra Militarum, tabletop wise. The only characters i can see being added are a Ratling, a Techpriest or a Rogue Trader. Last one would be most interesting, because of the possibility of using xeno weapons.

Those are some good suggestions, too!

Except You dont have 4 Slightly Competent Idiots.

You have 4 Exceedingly Powerful Individuals which have Proven their Value in Combat against Chaos Forces and have become Official Agents of an Inquisitors Retinue.
(Lvl 30 Event)

So an Assassin would not be an Issue in terms of Power.

The Background Story is a Bigger Issue tough.
As while an Assassin being Part of an Inquisitors Retinue would not be an Issue.
He would not be in Prison. He would have been Executed Immediately.
Meaning for such a Class there would need to be a completely new Background Story.




As for the Topic.

I would Prefer more Standard Classes.


Main Classes I would want to See.


1.
Ratling Veteran.

Which would have Subclasses of:
Infiltrator: Focus on Stealth and Sneak Attacks.
Sniper: Focus on Long Range Firearms.
Sapper: Focus on Explosives and Grenades.


2.
Skitarii Veteran.

Which would have Subclasses of:
Skitarii Ranger: Focus on Ranged Weapons
Skitarii Vanguard: Focus on Melee Weapons.
Skitarii Tech Adept: Focus on Abilities.


3.
Noble Scion

(This would be a bit Special. Because the Subclass would be alot more Specialized as Noble Scions usually go into very Distinct Special Forces Branches)

Basicly being a:
Komissar: With Focus on Command and Buff Abilities.
Tempestus Scion: With Focus on Heavy Weapons
or an Honor Guard: With Focus on Power Weapons.

No, more Powerful then a Spacemarine, Less powerful then a Golden Banana.

you can agument most of these on to the current classes expect for the Sktarri and the Rattling.

I disagree with the Noble scion it not a class it not even a feature the temepstus scion i can agree, and you can create a honour guard with more power weapons. and the Kommissar is the middle branch of the Veteran tree. i would agree with the Scion wiedling a Heav weapon as an ult like dawi engi in v2. but with a Heavys stubber or a Hotshot Vollygun. along with Hotshot weapons (ryza,Lucius, Cadian, Marksman rifle, and hotshot Pistol.

their should be a tech adept, rather then a skitarri i would go with vanguard, ranger and rust-stalker/Infiltraitor.
while a tech-adpet would focis on one of the 3 primary branches of tech-studdies generator/Biologies, Artificer and Dominus.

They should add some story to the game.

[DreamPod9]

The Officio Assassinorum wouldn't even bother with such a low scale invasion. Best you could hope for is the Death Cult, who are specifically utilized by the Inquisition. What they need to add is Arco-Flagellants.

[Meowser has not]

I think its more likely they add another abhuman like a ratling

I don't think so. There's quite a bit of dialogue mentioning Ratlings and how they "would be"-useful.

Adding a Ratling would invalidate those exchanges, which I think is unlikely.

[Khloros]

Ill be honest, the game would have been vastly better if it was either an assassin kill force sent in, or deathwatch.
I get everyone wants to play the lowly human but, the array of weapons and abilities that would be at the disposal of either death watch or an assassin kill force would have been 10x more interesting and fun then 4 random dudes.
