Can there be any more "odd" "races" such as Ogryn?
Lorewise I mean. Or will everything else from here on out be more like the other 3 classes?
Xenos or other Abhumans is what I mean.

Like new classes/races? Lorewise the only xenos the imperium actively uses in military service are ogryns iirc, so prob not

Yes thats' what I mean.
What about these Bone'eads I read about? A higher intelligent version of Ogryns? Could that be another class or is that simply Ogryn? They seem to have implants which make them look like cyborgs right?

Squats. ratlings, beastmen (yes, the ones from VT2), humans with mutations, kroot mercenaries, ork mercenaries

They are. Also, we are technically in an Inquisition ship and there IS a chance that depending on who the inquisitor is that some Xenos might be used aswell

With Ogryns, only Ratlings (which are basically Hobbits) are the only 2 sub-human races allowed to serve in the Auxiliary Units of the Astra Militarum so don't get your hopes up.

MAYBE we'll get to see Ratlings because afaik height wise they're like dwarfs in Vermintide.

Yes please, we need playable Beastmen.
Birdmancer Oct 16, 2022 @ 9:29am 
Discounting sanctioned pyskers and Ogryns (already in the game), Ratlings, Votann, and Goliaths are the only abhumans I could see being added at some point.

Edit: Beastmen pretty much serve Chaos exclusively at the current moment. Eldar, Orks, Kroot, would all be cool and would love to see them, but unless there are missions that take place off of hive worlds (or are missions for the Inquisition) I don't think we'll see them as playable characters.

The khajiit race we don't talk about...

"The Felinids, also known as ♥♥♥♥ Sapien Hirsutus, are a recognised strain of Abhuman within the Imperium."

Developers said Squats will not be in "they are space bardin and we don't like that idea".
But ratlings have been hinted at by ingame dialogues.
Not sure how a long-range class with terrible visibility will contribute to already hilariously bad team compositions, but we will cross that when we have em.

I can personally only see two more characters, Ratling and Mechanicus Tech Adept/Cogboy. So far developers have continued to restrict setting to low power humans , especially those who can be found in prison.

Ogyns are not xenos, they are abhumans.

If we end up with a Skitarii or other character from the Mechanicus they're likely to look and and play significantly different like the Ogryn.
