There is already talk of Terminators needing to be purchased with requesition, and chapters have 100 of those, compared to around 10 chaplains (1 for each company)
..and we are probably 10 chaplains here ATM (based on the "other" votes)...so let's say 4 chapters, probably 3 chaplains from each chapter deployed (overkill, but..) 4x3=12...2 more chaplain slots left, state your claim fast!....
Well Chaplains, Librarians (am I the only one whose a little disheartened to see a lack of Libs/Sorcs/Weirds/Farseers to make up the traditional mage caste of an RPG?), Honourguard, Tyranic War Veterans, Wolf Riders etc.
In order to depict them correctly, they'd have to be made FAR too powerful as compared to rank and file classes. They are in-game, I believe, but deemed "hero classes." We don't really know how that is going to be implemented, but I'm hoping its hard to get there or there is a hard cap on how many such classes you can have deployed at any given time, so we never have to deal with hordes of them. Chaplains are not going to be in-game on release - or so I have read from the devs. Judging by my avatar, I'd certainly love to play one, but it will depends on a lot of things - not the least of which is what they are like and the tactical demands of the mission/operation/objective. Those specialist/HQ classes aside, I'll likely spend most of my time as Assault or Tactical.
I'd definitely go Techmarine or whatever they use for their repair / resupply support class. I love to do base defenses and use turrets. Also, with the amount of vehicle / bases this game will probably have, a repair class is most likely coming. Just depends on how they flavor it for the different factions.
