So we have two pictures... (Space Marine one goes on the bottom, because that's "Prop'a") Judging by these two pictures I noticed something; Orks won't have a healer class. But we will have a repair class (Mek), I'm going to go ahead and assume vehicles will be more prominent and common within the Ork faction, they'll also be understandably weaker and require repair probably on a regular basis. Meanwhile, if there is any sort of downed state, Orks likely won't have access to it, no revive period. Your dead, you stay dead. We'll also be pretty much on our own if we get injured doing our fights, expected longevity may be pretty short as opposed to SM who will have access to healing capabilities - allowing them to dig in and hold areas while Orks will continually need reinforcements and fresh bodies in order to do the same. Meanwhile, we both have a heavy assault class (Mega Nobz and Terminators) and a light assault class (Storm Boyz and Assault Marines) and a fire support class (Loota's and Devastators). Now this complete speculation, but it is entirely possible that Eldar or Chaos MIGHT, receive some sort of Psyker esqe class based on this small distinction within the artwork, and general hypothesis is that each faction will be more prone to follow a particular path. Thoughts?
Wats dis git yaking bout no healers dem pain boys do just fine but seriously I think f2p ppl won't have res time period but the ppl who pay and play as mekboys and lootas and nobs and stuff will have res bit check the after death thread they have good postmortem ideas
Ya Iz hav' ta agreez wit bossaroo on dis, wez got 'Ealerz datz ta Painboyz deyz prudy gud at healin' not ta mention wit' cybork upgradez. 'Ow do ya t'ink I got mah Git finda' eye an' mah cybork arm? Deem datz whut! Wez also have a psyhic-knowz-whutz-it klass too, its da Weirdboyz! Da are bit unstable, but sezin' dem doin' whut day do best iz rought proppa sight eet iz! Soz shut eet ya posh mahreen git! Wez da Orkz an' wez fight AN' win!
I think the degree of hardiness afforded by being orky will play heavily into battlefield durability. Either through a degree of regeneration or just sheer beefy hitpoints. Painboyz and Mad Dokz will almost definitely play a role, I can't see the devs passing that integral part of orky kulture up. On that subject I do enjoy the idea that as ORKZ we're not too bothered about fixing up the boo-boos, just slapping some cybork partz onto the wound and slapping you back into the fight. The heavy focus on assault classes makes me think the standard ork strategy revolves around getting stuck in, without much pretense and with little finesse. I wouldn't be surprised to see if the devs play on the expectations of free-to-waaagh! boyz filling our gaps in the terms of rank-and-file standard infantry and the Nobs who pay play a more specialised and valuable role. I really hope Kommandos get in, I love being sneaky.
From wot I see, dere ar 4 classes. Stormboy as da Fast Strikin Assult Git. Mega Nob as da Tank. Mek az da Supporta, Role. And da Loota, as da Ranjed Gunna Type. (Fast Attack, Tank, Support, & Ranged DPS). (Going to assume that the equipment will be limited to some classes too. You arent going to see a Stormboy with a deffgun, or Loota with a power klaw).
Loota wit da POWA kalw (removes git finda) my gork ( damn auto correct trying to put froth instead of gork) WAAAAAAAGH
I now look back and understand wat ur saying each race has a special class space marine apothecary ork mekboy chaos sorcerer and elder have idk lore enough fa dat WAAAAAAAGH ( sorry for double posting )
It's possible that the way the classes are used it's split up into the generics (Melee, Shoota, 'Eavy, Support), and allowing the player to specialize as you please (Mek/Painboy/ maybe Weirdboy for support)
Weez Orks dun need no 'ealas. Weez got da Pain Boyz! Dey fix us rite up proppa wiff new arms and bits ta make us stronga dan eva if wez get 'urt in battle! Den we come back an' 'ave a right proppa krumpin on dem 'umies an whatnot!
