Most 40k-ish class/specialty?

[Black Hammer]

I'm a huge 40k fan, like more than a few here. Which class feels the most 40k-ish in terms of play, regarding weapon impact and skill? Psyker seems like an obvious nope, as it looks a lot like a generic ARPG wizard with no feedback on what should be hideously dangerous warp powers (for the user).

Probably Crusader then. Big gunz. Chainswords, Powerarmour...

Lore-wise, the Psyker. Play/weapon-wise, the Crusader, since Crusader is essentially a tiny space-marine, which is what most 40K games have you play.

Considering the pitch any char will look very human thus will look like generic class of a random arpg.

The wh40k originality from any space opera/sci fi ip comes with space marines, chaos corruption or tyranids, the rest including the warp is pretty common.

The whole combat does not resemble warhammer 40k at all. Chaos marines cough. You would not stand a chance 1 vs 400 chaos cultists, demons, chaos marines, leman russ tanks, terminator, chaos cybots even as primarch. And later you fight demon hosts and chaos spawns. Yeah. Some of those needed whole space marine chapters to take down.

So no class is close the warhammer 40k at all in this game. It is just a warhammer 40k skin.

This is true, but to be fair this is true about just about every ARPG, no matter the genre, with the exception of superhero games.

[Burusagi]

They're all equally WH40K-ish.

This is why we don't get nice things. You want the actual feel play the table top.

Or Dawn of War (1 & 2, to hell with 3) which do an excellent job at "video gameifying" table top.

The Space Marine game did a decently good job at it, to be honest. Probably the best bolter feel of any of the 40k games.

It did a lot of things right. It made the Power Armour seem extremely wieghty and the melee combat was meaty, yet you could feel how it how it actually powered your moves moreso than hindered you.

The fact that we will never see a sequel to it is one of the gravest sins against the Imperium.

[Eggnogui]

Not sure what you mean. All three classes exist in the lore. Sanctioned Psykers, assassins from Death Cults or the Officio, and the Crusader are basically heavy infantry.

Although given how the icon of 40k is the Adeptus Astartes, Crusader might be the closest to an answer to your question. With his implants, power armor, melee weapons and big guns, the Crusader is basically a mini-Astartes...that can somehow mow down actual Astartes in game.

[Brother PaciFist]

Space Marines did the same failure. Peer to peer multiplayer that lagged like hell for most of the players. It died very fast. The singleplayer campaign was nice. The only thing i missed was a little daily life in the Empire. There were no inhabitants, imperial citizens etc. Just you and the orks and chaos forces. At one time there were some imperial guardists. The warhammer 40k artdesign was nicely done.

Thq Nordic has the rights to Space Marine. They could make a sequel, if they get permission from Gamesworkshop.

[SLAM]

If you truly want the feel of the 40K universe, play the story campaign in challenge mode and attempt every single mission with the hardest challenge difficulty... this should meet your expectations of dying, once you die you should then make yourself create an entirely new character and start over. Good luck!

[Burusagi]

The only way the Crusader feels more "WH40K-y" is that he feels the most like a generic Space Marine.
