Theory: Xenos race will be announced as well as a new class

[Sgt. Giggle Mittens]

I think that with all the references to xenos on Atoma, we are for sure gonna have gene stealers soon...

and a new class, like a prestige class from vermintide...the sisters of battle.

They get referenced a lot in the game by the rejects, so I think that is gonna be the first new class for the game along side the first new enemy for the game.

Imperium is allied with Ynnari Eldar. Officialy. Finding a messenger that came to warn about something or came to help to stop a certain foretold event is not something unheard of. Though it is sometimes ends up with conflict because of some overzealous idiots.
Even Guilliman currently has eldar consular at his retinue now. And before that eldar rangers were not a rare sight in Inquisitors or Rogue Traders retinue of any kind.
Why would an inquisitor want an eldar in his retinue? Because the ♥♥♥♥♥ are so sly and capable to slip through the tiniest gaps in defenses. As well as to track someone on the other side of the galaxy if it needs to be. They also know webway paths and MAY allow you to use them.

This.

People really should read books written after the return of Papa Smurf, it's not the same Imperium anymore. A lot of purging within the Imperium has happened, mostly the incompetent idiots.

And we already have a Zealot.

A techheretic is the more likely option. Likely with some of Baradin's Mechanics and Skitarii exclusive weaponry.



Wrong Inquisition Order for collabs with Xenos. Not to mention that all the Zealots on the ship will murder any Xenos coming on.

A sister of battle would add a power armored unite to the game that can use stuff like an artificer bolt gun or melta.

And what would be the difference? Zealots can already make builds that feels like they have power armor, would actual power armor have to be even more powerful than that? Any veteran or Ogryn could also use a melta or a storm bolter, they are not exclusive to SoB. Just take a long hard think about the following question: What new things would SoB give that a Zealot with an SoB skin could not. If you cannot think about a whole new skill tree that is different enough from Zealot to be interesting, then what is the point. Its the same with wanting to have an Arbites Enforcer, when you can just buy that Zealot skin and use a maul and shotgun for the exact same effect.

A Ratling with actual sniper rifles would be great but honestly? I doubt we'll ever get another character. An extended talent tree with another branch and gear going to 100%? Sure. but a completely new class? Naw.

Also, the new Xenos race is most likely a genestealer cult. There aren't that many horde races in 40k and Orcs aren't known for being subversive and sneaky. When they come it's not a mystery.

Ork Kommandos do exist, they're so sneaky you don't see them

Yeah but we wouldn't be able to fight a Ork whaagh or smaller groups since they are hybrid fighters (melee and ranged) and quite tough. And unless we fight normal Kommandos, we would be stomped by the Ork Kommando Nobs.

considering anything added has to go through GW, and the ONLY two abhumans mentioned in recent editions are ogryns and ratlings, i would bet on a ratling class. or a member of the mechancicus. God i want a class with mechadendrites.

I think that is a possibility, a mechanicus pet class, being as the necromancer class for vermintide just came out.

yeah or like some type of turret class? ala the engineer from tf2? a pet class could be fun. have a tree that specializes on teh pet grabbing and bringing ammo and pickups? or anti dog/net tallents? something like the pet class from Borderlands 2?

They did one rework (but ♥♥♥♥ ton of cosmetics) in a year. They can't even do solo mode as promised. I wonder how long will it take to add a new enemy faction. Genestealers? In five years?

Fatshark also promised a vs mode for vermintide 2. They even showed off gameplay of it. Looked like left 4 dead. Then they just stopped working on it. I don't expect a single player mode for darktide

Did they ever say why they scrapped it? My guess is they realized how unfair it wold have been to play against the Heroes because of how strong they were.
