After making their original announcement last year, fans of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise have been waiting for an update on the upcoming turn-based tactics game. Now, developers Complex Games and publisher Frontier Foundry have finally announced some news for Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters! This news comes with a spotlight to show off the four advanced classes of Grey Knights players will take command of.
Joining the Justicar, Interceptor, Purgator, and Apothecary are these new Advanced Classes:
Paladin - An elite Terminator Armor-clad warrior, pulverizing and pounding enemies with powerful combat-focused abilities.
Chaplain - Buffs and emboldens his allies with prayers and litanies, whilst sanctifying and cleansing them from Nurgle’s debilitating ailments.
Librarian - A veteran psyker that banishes and bursts Daemonkind from the inside out using devastating psychic attacks.
Purifier - Incinerates any foe who gets too close, while also removing enemy mutations or afflictions.
Once unlocked during the campaign, units with these class specializations will be added to the additional unit rotation, obtainable via requisitions following a mission. Each class features a unique set of upgrades, with 36 possible abilities to unlock – some active, and some passive.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters still doesn’t have a release date set up yet, but we are sure to hear more updates about the game throughout the year. These new advanced classes are a great way to increase the variety along with the base classes already in the game. Having a variety of different tough fighters will definitely have players utilizing the tactics portion of the game.
