I figured swagger instead of Zola would have been the main contact.
To me, Swagger would be more of a main contact with shady individuals high up on the food chain. The way he speaks and forms his sentences, he’s clearly a high-born (or at least a very good pretender).
So if I were to expect him to play a major role in anything, it would be for him to contact the noble houses and get some more major support from them.
Most of them have Voiced for other classes in Darktide prior
Ian Cunningham the 8th Doctor in Doctor Who? (Correct me if I’m wrong lol!)
Jess Nesling whom did “Female Psyker - The Savant”
Theo Spofforth in “Lord Of The Rings": Rings Of Power” as a Gaudrim Scout
For Lucy Forrester this is her first VO for a Video game

She is an actress and singer as well
Gordon Cooper and Lizze Wofford known for Baldurs Gate III
So there is some great talent to get this Scummer running n gunning and shooting off some spicy words lol! It will for sure be fun to hear all their lines!
If not an Aeldari he sure must be representing a Cold Trader that has access to and use of Xeno Weapons! ![]()
Hive Scum being brought in for their local expertise is definitely the best argument narratively for their inclusion and honestly I think Hive Scum should have been a class from the get go.
Zealot’s vibe always struck me as being more akin to lay preachers, pilgrims and religious militia which are very disorganised, so the discipline, training and unique combat hymns of the Sororitas would be a natural counterpart to the chaotic Zealots.
Looking forward to the voicework. It’s proven to be a strong point in the tide games. Praying the writers are able to refrain from the dreaded “millenial writing”
Swagger is the hive scum, too short for an eldar
PSA: Apologies, I mis-spelled the surname of the male Anarchist voice: It’s actually Ian Conningham, not Cunningham. My mistake!
Amended in the post.
So he’s not cunning, but is he brutal?
That leaves us with
Rannick - > dwarfs
Brahms - > kroot mercenaries
Is there a connection? I don’t care!
Eldar aren’t that taller than human.
Can you interview the developer or executive that keeps preventing any information on Solo Mode about the status of Solo Mode?
Swagger will be the main contact for the hive scavenger class coming directly after.
We also got Grendyl, Rannick, Hallowette, Masozi, Enginseer Kayex, and Dukane to account for.
Hadron/Kayex-8 → Admech/Techpriest/Skittari/Combat Servitor
Swagger → Eldar or Cold War trader perhaps
Hallowette → Rogue trader. You defeat heretics with the power of capitalism and pay them off. It doesn’t matter if pox hounds don’t understand the concept, profit factor is a fundamental property of the universe.
Melk → Sons of Votan.
Masozai → Ratlings
Dukane → Corpse class.
Grendyl → Beowulf.
So for what we know about the voice actors :
- Gordon Cooper and Lizzie Wofford were indeed providing additionnal voices in Baldur’s Gates 3 but i know Gordon was also the squirrel bookkeeper in “It Takes Two” and i have known Lizzie voice very recently in a small indie game called Cabernet as Viktoriya (very good narrative RPG by the way !)
- Theo Spofforth and Lucy Forrester are very new toward voice acting ; as mentioned Theo was in the ring of power and Lucy was mostly in theaters. We will see if they are excellent greedy Gun for Hire !
- Ian Conningham is known to be in Doctor Who, as for Jess Nesling we already know her as the female Savant Psyker, this is gonna be interesting to hear her go for a 180° from a very disciplined frenchy psyker to an absolute frenzied psycho !
In any case it’s gonna be a tough choice once more…
If you want to hear male outlaw’s VA work Gordon Cooper - Voice Over Artist | Shining Voices
Sounds really funny and good, great concept
Hype! My favourite psyker voice, hopefully it’s distinct enough but still good.
Really want to hear a preview of the voice work ![]()
I hear you on that.
But even psychopath is redundant. A number of these class personalities could be psychopaths, especially the Hive Scum. LOL.
