Skitarii have those too though don’t they?
Here’s an idea: Give them to the Zealot and focus on the classes we already have.
Not really they get some polemauls? Not sure how you would describe the titanguards arc lances but as far as memory serves me the Omnissian Axe is a actual Magos’s badge of office.
Not super up on my admech lore like I am with SOB as I have only read a few of their books.
They could do that, but I think Sisters as a class would be really cool if it was done right mix the warrior priest with a pinch of grail knight and a dash of bulwark from SM2 and you would have one heck of a unique class.
There will no “NEXT” class. FS have heard your cries on the forums and have bowed to the pressure and will introduce new maps. Current time line is TBA, but believed to be in the last quarter of 2028!
Omnissian Axes are more for Tech-Priests in general, if I remember correctly.
Tech-Adepts (low-ranking Tech-Priests) are the lowest-ranking members of the Adeptus Mechanicus who are able to receive Omnissian Axes for the same purpose.
Either way, you’re correct that Skitarii don’t count as Tech-Priests in any capacity and thus wouldn’t be able to receive Omnissian Axes.
Zealots could definitely also wield Power Halberds.
I do feel that there is room for a Sororitas Class in Darktide that would sit somewhere distinctly between Arbitrator, Veteran and Zealot.
HOWEVER, I would like Fatshark to lower the output of new Classes from two per annum down to one per annum. One new DLC Class for Skulls every year is a lot more sustainable than what happened in 2025.
In my opinion, there’s too strong of a focus on pumping out new DLC Classes thus far and it’s becoming pretty detrimental to content output for the base game and any existing Classes.
I think the obvious choice would be a Cold Trader or maybe a Rogue Trader underling. Maybe Spryers from the Atoman nobility.
Assassins are too close gameplay-wise to either Chem Tox Hive Scum or Stealth Zealot. Sister of Battle would be a tough tank to balance. Eldari would require too much approval from Games Workshop, as would Beast Men.
Cold Traders or Spryers could sport just about ANY combo of cool tech you want. You could build a class that wouldn’t step on any existing class’s shoes.
It is a good idea.
No more regular humans please 
I’ve had enough of humans both inside and outside of 40k so I want some of the grimdark scifi escapism please!
Seeing the future classes as “Regular Human” vs “other” is kind of dumb tbh, like there can be more interesting things to a character than their shape or their origins.
Classes imo should be either about mechanics (Dogs, Stimm Lab, circular tree), or about lore exclusive weaponry (Admech’s).
That’s why I’m on the opinion of Sister, if they’re set around the Acts of Faith (and not Repentia, or heavy weapon styled Sisters), and Adepts, with them being set around Inquisitorial knowledge and tools.
1st class setting around a new resource/energy, mimicking the Psyker’s Peril system but with a new twist.
And the 2nd having a sub-tree that give it various tools.
Spyrer, if they exist on Atoma (Unknown/Unlikely), would be kind of difficult to really make work tbh.
They don’t really use normal weapons, and instead are using their rigs’ to attacks, which here would be quite unflexible, and would require a bigger scope (non-shared weapons)
Why not have them as Brace of Pistols instead (would even fit with the rich being wasteful, unless they have that on the Ogryn as a Brace of Handgun like Maneaters have in fantasy
I was more considering it to be a 40K analogue to Bounty Hunter Saltzpyre’s Ability!
Fatshark could definitely do both, though! The Ranged Weapon could be the Dual Wield; the Ability could be the singular. That’s how it is for Saltzpyre, after all.
I understand you.
I have same feeling.
But the idea is interesting. Maybe not next class, but next next class.
imo the role of the brace of pistols is already occupied by the twirly handguns of the methhead, tho as an ult i could see it
maybe one branch, noble with salts ult
one banch Bounty hunter, with electrical netlauncher
last Gloryseeker with some form dueling melee buffs maybe a parry stance with an insane execute if sucessful
could fit all well within an overarching “privateer” class that lets us xenos stuff great idea imo
I freaking love it
