Seems to be a subfaction of Admonition. They still don’t have a mauler or crusher equivalent so I hope whatever they are they can fill that role somewhat. Just pretty stoked to get new Admonition enemies in general.
Any ideas on what they could be? Perhaps some hints in the data?
Hoping for the same. Its just the next logical escalation after having a Nurgle psyker boss. If we are truly getting SOB, having daemonic enemies to fight makes all the more sense.
The cutscene mentions they have psychic powers, so I assume they might get psykers as elites or minor daemons (summoned by said psykers).
A while ago (with skitarii) some eagle eyed people had seen some cult-ish enemy as a reference in one of fatshark’s behind the scene videos, might be related? But those were more mundane iirc (like the vox operator that summoned enemies from that one event years ago)
maybe this is unpopular opinion but i actually hope we get a brand new type of enemy and completly opposite of that i feel like we’ve got enough of maulers and crushers and generally heavy enemies what if these guys were kind of cultish assasins? like think about it imagine us getting assaulted by bunch of weird looking hooded guys in stealth? i don’t mean perma stealth but a unique type of enemy that occassionally stealths like veteran ability and comes up to you to stab you with a knife or something like an assasin would be really cool, their blades could be poisoned and have something nurglite themed too…another fun type of enemy would be if they had some special kind of biological weapon they use against player.
these are just my wishes becuse as soon as i’ve heard of brotherhood of blight i got some kind of assasin cult vibe (their symbol looks it too) some kind of specialized nurglite killers with stealth teach, it’d be really innovative if they do this rather than just another version of heavy armoured enemy.
they could also be connected to gene stealers…but i don’t see nurglites and GSC working together or at least i hope not, it’d be cooler if they were separate factions fighting each other (GSC coming was already teased in no man’s land)
based off of evidence it could be some kind of nurglite coven of witches/psykers BUT i actually hope they don’t add psykers as common enemy becuse lore wise they’re suppose to be rare, they could add them as monstrosity or a boss fight each new chapter taking the coven down boss fight by boss fight would be cool and i have to say them being coven of witches is much more likely than my assasin wet dream, but one can hope.
So they mention psyker enemies. The specialist assistance (aka new class) could be Sororitas or Sister of Silence.
Psyker specialist/elites would be cool to have to.

most reject squads don’t have one, canonically most reject squads got absolutely massacred and were composed of mostly regular soldiers who were penal legions the biggest rarity average squad gets is ogryns who despite being rare in overall 40k world are still a (sub)species of their own and as such appear fairly commonly in some parts of the imperium, same goes for arbites and skitarii who have their own prectincts and entire forge worlds, psykers on other hand are very very rare “one in a billion” individuals, they’re not organizations or sub species they’re humans born with special power, very very very rare special power.
canonically our team is one the same, our characters are same people and they’ve survived it all so far thats why we’re exceptional and why we went from rejects to respected inquisiton acolytes our team is one of few if not possibly the only (depending on mourningstar forces population which can’t be THAT high) team that has a psyker and he/she survives everything like rest of the team does but again we’re one team, same characters not multiple teams with multiple psyker characters, psykers are so rare that theres probably more of them hiding and wandering out in tertium than our loyalist forces on mourningstar simply due to size difference since tertium itself has around 90 billion people while mourningstar can probably host few thousand.
i’d suggest learning actual lore of game you’re giving opinions on before acting smug next time, cheers.
My assumption from data mining is its gonna be a sub faction or expansion of the dreg enemies with some daemonic enemies to fill the ranks. Prob psykers/plague bearers/nurglings and the like
okay, cute and original insults and all but now get to an actual argument will ya? oh wait you don’t have any, sorry forgot im talking to a numbskull that probably struggles to follow two vox chats becuse hes struggling to focus on it in malice difficulty, anyway theres no difference when it comes to this topic, psykers are super rare within warhammer lore and dt is part of that lore and very faithful to it, whether you like it or not
what i find amusing is that you’re clearly no lore expert or care about it yet comment on a lore question, im sure you don’t see a contradiction here though since that requires a functioning brain.
