Salutations, Battle-Brothers!
In today’s intelligence briefing, we are providing a comprehensive breakdown of the newest addition to the Adeptus Astartes roster: the Techmarine.
Combat Philosophy
The Techmarine is a tactical specialist defined by his mastery over area denial and crowd suppression. His toolkit is engineered to stall encroaching swarms and neutralize high-priority targets, providing his allies with the breathing room necessary to execute their roles safely. Mechanically, the Techmarine functions as a versatile hybrid with a distinct inclination toward close-quarters devastation. Unlike the Bulwark, who prioritizes static defense, the Techmarine maintains momentum through wide-reaching area-of-effect (AoE) melee strikes and lethal mid-range ballistic support.
Class Abilities
His signature feature, the Servo-Gun, unleashes a punishing automated barrage upon nearby hostiles. Furthermore, the Techmarine possesses the unique capability to identify and reactivate Tarantula Sentry Guns scattered throughout the mission zones. Once brought back online, these turrets will relentlessly engage the enemy until their ammunition reserves are depleted or they are destroyed by enemy fire.
A defining characteristic of this class is the seamless integration of the Servo-Gun during Gun Strikes. This synergy affords the Techmarine unparalleled mobility compared to other archetypes; for instance, he can continue his melee onslaught or reposition without interrupting the execution of a Gun Strike.
The Armory
The Techmarine enters the fray with a formidable selection of weaponry tailored for mechanical efficiency:
Primary Armament:
- Auto Bolt Rifle
- Bolt Rifle
- Heavy Bolt Rifle
- Occulus Bolt Carbine
- Plasma Incinerator
Secondary Sidearms:
- Bolt Pistol
- Heavy Bolt Pistol
- Plasma Pistol
- Inferno Pistol
- Neo-Volkite Pistol
Melee Weaponry:
- Combat Knife
- Power Sword
- Power Axe
- Omnissian Axe
The crown jewel of this arsenal is the Omnissian Axe. Exclusive to the Techmarine, this relic is specifically designed to dismantle multiple adversaries simultaneously with its expansive swing radius. It also features a signature maneuver, the “Omnissian Rush,” which allows the Techmarine to surge forward and impale any foe in his trajectory.
Perks and Specializations
We anticipate that many of you are eager to study the Techmarine’s progression tree. We have prepared a brief showcase highlighting his unique perks. We encourage you to review these carefully, though please bear in mind that specific numerical values remain subject to balance adjustments prior to the deployment of Patch 12.
That concludes our deep dive into the Techmarine! We hope this overview has fueled your excitement to field-test this new class when Patch 12 officially launches.
