Darktide, the Warhammer 40,000 co-op shooter, is getting a new class, which entices MeinMMO editor Caro to play for the first time.
Up until now, my only connection to Warhammer has been my love for painting miniatures. Although I’ve never used them for gaming, the truly stunning models have sparked a growing interest in the universe, the lore, and everything else Warhammer has to offer.
Now, a new trailer has been released to introduce a new class for the game’s co-op shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. And it hooked me so much that I’m now considering using Darktide as my gateway video game into the 40,000 universe.
And I owe that entirely to the ladies in the trailer, who are just too badass to resist their class: Sister Novitiates of the Adepta Sororitas are entering the stage.
Here you see the trailer that excited me so much:
The Sororita trainees already have an aura about them even as miniatures
The mix of fanatical faith and nun-like warrior appearance has always made the Novitiates, as well as the Adepta Sororitas as a whole, a very interesting army for me. Yes, my favorites have always been the Tyranids, but the more I learn about the Sororitas and see their minis, the more enthusiastic I become.
The mix of fanatical faith and nun-like combat attire has always made the novices – and the Adepta Sororitas as a whole – a very interesting army to me. Yes, the Tyranids have always been my favorites, but the more I learn about the Sororitas and see their miniatures, the more enthusiastic I become.
The miniatures from the Novitiate Squad are already pretty cool, but seeing the women in action in Darktide really gave me the final push I needed to give not only the miniatures but also the shooter a chance.
I mean … excuse me?
This first glimpse of the class has me really curious
The first info about the Novitiates class sounds just really metal.
The Novitiates of the Adepta Sororitas are deeply devout warriors who, driven by their sacred calling, mercilessly destroy all who dare to defy the God-Emperor. Although they are not yet full-fledged Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas, their faith and righteousness alone make them powerful fighters, as you can see in the trailer.
They fight – with oh-so-immense faith, of course – but with their own hands, wielding weapons with names like “Neural Whip,” “Condemnor Stake Thrower,” “Mace of the Righteous,” and (my favorite) “Penitent Eviscerator.” No need to convince me anymore, you’ve already won me over!
I also like that the class is supposed to be a mix of tank and support. Novitiates can buff allies, debuff enemies, exert a lot of control, and still take quite a bit of damage. That also sounds like it would be a good fit for a beginner like me.
What do you think of the Novitiates in Darktide? Will you test the class yourself? Or are there any interested parties among you who want to join in now? Let us know in the comments!
Another big fan of the Adepta Sororitas is my colleague and Warhammer expert Benedict. What he loves about them and why they should not be underestimated is reported here on MeinMMO: Fanatical warrior-nuns are the best part of Warhammer 40,000 and more multifaceted than you might think
