Odds are heavily in favour of an Adeptus Mechanicus class, and hopefully of the Tech-Priest archetype. In Dark Heresy it was straight up Tech-Priest, in Only War we had Enginseer, and Wrath & Glory has Tech-Adept as a Tier 1 Archetype. Skitarii are nice, however too close to the Veteran I think.

Further reasons why I believe an AdMech class is next:

  • The reveal of the new Skitarii type, the Hastarii, and Arch-Magos Thulia Ghuld miniatures.
  • The Adeptus Mechanicus sourcebook for Imperium Maledictum.
  • The Techmarine in Space Marine 2.
  • The aforementioned Eogunn Februs in Rogue Trader’s 3’rd DLC. Also the Augmentation system.
  • Mechanicus 2 is set to release this spring.
  • Dawn of War 4 will have a playable AdMech faction at launch.
  • (The Datamine for Transonic Blades)

All signs point toward James of the Workshop going for a Cross-Promotion campaign.

Can’t wait to see what broken exclusive (plasma/arc) weapons they will get xD especially since plasma was nerfed recently for vet.

Damnit! I was really hoping it was gonna be scribe this time :frowning:

Where is that meme with the circle about hoping up for admech?

There’s still another update towards the end of the year that can give us another new DLC.

Remember: 99% of Scribe fans give up right before the next update adds the class to the game!

You’re right! We need to manifest a gestalt psychic field and willpower scribe into reality, a great scribe waagh! The great horde of feeble bespectacled men of learning is nigh!

God I hope not

Needs to be a servitor scribe. He’s got mechanical parts and mechadendrites so it’ll satisfy the Admech peeps too.

I want an Ogryn Tech Scribe as the next DLC class, with the option to play as a female Ogryn.

You can already create a Scribe Ogyrn, in fact, your can make an Ogyrn that attended the Schola (last I checked the Oggy background, haven’t done so in years).

I was trolling.

The background we choose have no effect on actual gameplay (it’s only fluff); only the personality we choose does, and even then, take my Scum - despite being supposed to be from the torrent, he has zero spoken lines regarding that place or when Zola starts yapping.

Ogryn are incapable of becoming Scribes because they are dumb except for Cassia, who is the only Ogryn Psyker in the WH40k universe.

Becoming a Scribe is not easy.

You need to learn to record lots of data and develop a variety of technical skills, which an Ogryn cannot do.

Only naturally occuring ogryn psyker, there is also Necromunda awakened ogryns.

The only known, named ogryn psyker. Who should’ve been executed to maintain the Imperial Cult’s vision that ogryns are dumb and especially can’t be psykers - but who knows how many others there are (or have been) about, or how intelligent ogryns actually are, but it’s all kept hidden from the masses?

Taking into account that Ogryn aren’t treated the same way they were in old lore (Basically children level intelligence), and that there are various kinds of Ogryn, among which there are some which are quite smarter than others (Thoruk).

And that there were in old lore already some rumours of smart Ogryns, named “Grey Ogryn” iirc…

I wouldn’t bet on Ogryn Scribe, but I would stand against “they are dumb except for Cassia”

Also Necromunda has artificial Ogryns too, which I’d count.

You don’t need to be smart when you can pummel every sniveller into mush, big man!
