> [@zaygr](#): > > A set piece is a good idea, but I don’t think it should be a static mission objective, because then it’s tied to the mission and it’ll be predictable. I more meant as a VERY rare event. The mission will 90% of the time go as normal. We couldn’t REALLY have true horror in a game like this without it eventually becoming predictable unfortunately. Y’know, glacial development pace and all. Ideally, the new “area” that is opened up by the rare event should be randomly generated (like PT) and that would eliminate a significant portion of the predictability on future runs. ---

I figured a plaguebearer would make a decent “dreg mauler”. I do hope that we get more daemons. I also hope for the “Noxians”/Darktide to show up and reinforce their Moebian quislings now that a beachhead has been established. And I wouldn’t say no to cultists of the other ruinous powers showing up either. The more the merrier. ---

I’d prefer something completely new to variants. The recent pox bomber really is a good example why i don’t really care for variants. Sure it does this supposed “new” thing, but in execution its just different type of area denial. I would hope they would take some deamonic units, rogue psykers are potentially a good one or simply just introduce that tyranid faction they have seemingly hinted at. ---

Tbh I think for normal enemies thr Dreg need it more than the Scab atm: Elites: - Dreg Mauler (Using the 2h Rager as model) - Dreg Plaguebearer (Ogryn Sized, 2h Sword and corruption) - Scab Plasmagunner (Like how the Scab Captain work) - Scab/Dreg Sweeper: Human with Pistols and shields Specials: - Dreg Sorcerer: V1: Ranged Summoner that call a Swarm of insects to stun the player (Like one of the Lords in Vt2) V2: Create boils on the ground which explode into corruption when close to the players - Scab Psyker: V1: Doombolt ranged AoE (Damage, kinda like how Rasknit has) V2: Shield summon, and melee damage ability - Dreg Bilepiper: Poxwalker and Groaner buffer, as well as corruption AoE Monster and Lords: - Dreg Sorcerer Lord (Priority) Melee: Scythe or Bile Sword Ranged: 2+ different spells - Scab Sentinel: Powerlifter and Scout variant (as the Scab don’t truly have any monster atm) - Scab Commissar: double weapons Melee: Power Sword or Power Fist Ranged: Bolt Pistol or Laspistol - Dreg Herald Melee: Plague Axe, Contagion Flail Ranged: Summons and spells ? Since FS/Catfish already said that there would be new enemies this year (Which in theory already is fulfilled with the new Grenadier), I think we might see a TC type of update but centred on the Dreg instead, introducing a named Dreg Lord (Umgal as Vocator), its Assassination variants, and a couple of enemies Though Plasmagunner was datamined ---

For future factions I think that they will keep with “Local” forces Dregs are from Tertium, and Scab were in Tertium prior to them being sent to Nox (Now that I think of it, I wonder if the Dreg backstabbed the Cartel prior to that or when they came back) So I would say: Penal system: Where we were supposed to end up, with Enforcers and Convicts turning to Khorne. Waste Nomads: Turned to Tzeentch Technica Guilds: Turned to Slaanesh as a Noise cults ---

> [@Heretical\_Cactus](#): > > For future factions I think that they will keep with “Local” forces I both agree and believe that this is the best course of action.

The Inquisition MUST be able to actually handle the situation without Astartes involvement… otherwise the game will risk losing its core identity. Multiple smaller Cults won’t alarm the Inquisiton more than a bigger Mono god cult. And for SM nobody is coming cause of the Cicatrix Maledictum, we can’t really communicate to far reaches (which is why even for new Archetypes I think keeping/writing them to start as Rejects is better) ---

I want to fight against a new threat, Moebian 6th got a bit stale and adding new units won’t help it that much. Ideally, I want Necrons or Eldar because I think they could have a unique vibe in the game and add something totally new. But I know it won’t happen, the best thing we’re getting are more daemons from the warp like the pink horrors or something. ---

while the game really could need another full roster of enemies, so basically all of the above, i came to enjoy the esthetics of the plague bearer. could be used as a beefed up rager or leading a group of em as a mini boss encounter. apart from adding new enemies, i’d like to see at least some gear variations amongst existing ones. of course gameplay dictates uniform entities, still having gunners spawn in groups of ten, the stormtrooper look isnt cutting it for me any more. we reached a level of detail and immersion, that for a good amount carries my motivation for the game, where some larger face pool or equipment additions would feel like a given rather than a wishful addon. some small height or build differences along with different levels of grime and corruption would still leave the overall physical attributes visible while at least lessen the “cloned by the 1000s” batch - vibe. ---

Scab Rogue Psyker has a lot of potential to do some different stuff. Shields, lightning attacks, teleportation. I think rather than it being an enemy that can do a simple grab attack or disable it should work like a glass cannon. Code it like the Doom Archvile where it has some wind up time to it’s equivalent of a brain burst or smite and if you are still in it’s los when it attacks you lose a large chunk of health. Maybe even pair it with a squad of chaos cultists that act as a basic meat shield to make sniper type weapons or abilities more impact. Hell add an ability where the Psyker can pick one up and use it as a temp shield.
