I asked Michael Chan and he said that dark apostales will be available and he said that certain sub-factions will have heroes that others do not, but where possible we want an option that fills a similar role to fill the gap. As I understand Dark Apostales fill similar role to chaplains or not? What abilities could Dark Apostales have?
No this isn`t from newsletter. Here is full conversation if you need: Hi I'm new to the forum and have some questions. I'm warhammer ork fan and can't wait for eternal crusade. I have some questions if it isn't game secrets 1. When you select sub-fraction, does it affect on your character abilities or only changes his armor color and banners? 2.couldk you change your character class and import weapon from past class? For example: you change from ork boy to stormboy and import to scarboy ork boy choppa. 3. Is nob available or not? 4.Will usual ork boy have a special skill to fight normally one vs one against space marine? 5. As I understand sub-fractions won't have special units, will they? For example world bearers won't have apostales aviable. I think ork units should grow from boy to scarboy and nob. For fith subfraction I'd like to see black templars or space marines which have skull helmets and wear black armor with fire paint. Well in end I wish you success in Eternal crusade and future games. Best regards Daniel. Blackskull27, May 23, 2014 ReportReply Miguel Caron Studio Head Behaviour Online Dear Crusader Daniel. I am just an exec so I will let Michael, one of our designer to answer you. I have invited him to this thread. Regards Miguel Miguel Caron, May 24, 2014 ReportReply Michael Chan Game Designer (@ezekielknight) Hi Daniel, thank you for your questions. Sub-factions will have some gameplay flavour to them; both in terms of what is innately available to them and what can be unlocked through progression. Ideally it will not be so much that the choice is obvious if you favour certain classes. All classes you unlock will always be available to you. You'll be able to choose which of your saved loadouts to use each time you deploy. Nobz will be present in some form; details TBD. An Ork boy will be able to fight a Space Marine in some way, but we want to always encourage everyone to work as a team. Since each player is controlling one character instead of an army (like in the tabletop), we will have to keep that in mind when crafting the experience. Certain sub-factions will have heroes that others do not, but where possible we want an option that fills a similar role to fill the gap. The Word Bearers will have Apostles. Hope that helps. Please feel free to share this information with the community! Michael
Um no that is not true any more Araghast, in the new Chaos Space Marines codex they are more common and are not a Word Bearers exclusive. It is just they most likely have more Dark Apostles then other legions/warbands, I hope to see Dark Apostles in-game.
I don't particularly like the fact that Dark Apostles are just available to everyone because what is a World Eater or Night Lord warband going to do with a Dark Apostle, now to the topic I would love to play as a Dark Apostle of Lorgar and they could get more boons and mutations or something I don't really know
