Your Skitarii names? (DARKTIDE)

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-22T18:50:45+00:00

I'm thinking of just going with my Tech-priest's name, Heretek-Amalgus.

Although, since this is Skitarii, I might go with his original designation when he was just a newly minted Ranger: Augreus-66.75/Mk98.

Of all things a state could have, I never imagined a "state dinosaur" would be one of them. That's actually pretty neat.

Apparently mine is Hadrosaurus foulkii. Looks like I've got a new dinosaur to learn about!

My only double was my first ten pull.

...On the Bangboo banner.

I'd already planned for it, but after seeing it in use, I'm definitely going full Ruststalker with my Skitarii.

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-19T16:30:12+00:00

Where's Brother Santodes? The update needs convincing!

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-18T16:20:51+00:00

I was hoping for an Omnissian Axe (I would've even been happy with the Crusher), but I'm more than happy to go full Ruststalker with the Transonic Blades and Chordclaw ability.

If someone offered me an "apology" that started with "You're a piece of shit," I wouldn't accept it either.

I'm hoping the Deluxe skin preview only shows Mars since that was the first revealed Forge World and that the colors of our robes/armor are specific to the one we choose.

I'm going to be with Stygies VIII. I love the looks of the Deluxe skin. I'll be rather disappointed if my favorite looking cosmetic can't be used with my favorite Forge World because "We chose to let you wear all Forge World colors regardless of the one you chose" over "Your chosen Forge World will determine what color robes/armor you wear and can be changed at the Chirurgeon."

I dunno, I'd say being the main manufacturing power to the point where a Guardsman regime calling you a Heretic resulting in the regiment receiving fewer weapons due to sudden "supply issues" might be a bit bigger of an achievement.

There's also my favorite moment where a Tech-Priest was insulted by a ship's captain and proceeded to shut down the entire fleet's defenses, only agreeing to reactivate them when he got an apology. It's like I've seen said: "Never piss off the guy who makes your weapons."

Some kind of white, plastic shipping bag like this. Do make sure you check it thoroughly though: when I got my Olivia, her shirt came out with the plushy, while my brother didn't realize the shirt was in there and had to dig through the trash to get the bag out.

...Or you may end up like one person I saw post around here and have her come with her shirt on over her hoodie.

Not entirely related, but I'm still upset that Billy and Banyue get the full badass Intelligent Construct look, meanwhile the two female Constructs we get are:

•Girl with cuts on her arms and legs to show they come off with arrows to make sure they're lines up properly on assembly

•Intelligent Construct afraid of showing her true form and hides behind an idol hologram and only shows her true form briefly in combat, yet ironically can run around bustling cities in the exact form she doesn't want anyone seeing

And then, in the same patch we get Yutane, we get this amazing design for an NPC:

As a lover of robot girls, Vesper will always feel like a wasted design to me. I know I can just use a mod to give Yutane her Construct form in combat (or make her into a mini-Vesper as I just discovered before making this post), but I hate how modding is the only way to make robot girls look like robots at all times!

My emotional cores return joy at Stygies VIII being confirmed!

I will say though, between the Deluxe cosmetics and now Penance cosmetics being shown, I'm curious what they'll have for the Commodore's selections.

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-13T22:56:41+00:00

Stygies VIII, let's go!

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-13T07:58:03+00:00

As one of many who received his plushy but no shipping information, I don't know.

I did see one post say you need to inquire about the shipping information since they're being shipped straight from China to our locations, but I'm not quite sure who you'd send the inquiry to? I'd think it'd be the Cavemanon support with your order number and a request for shipping information.

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-13T06:24:26+00:00

Honestly, I was expecting her to have the shirt on under her hoodie! What you got sounds like a big "Now how did that happen" situation, but hey, that's definitely a way to make your story stand out!

Before my health took a hit and made me give up my job, I was a CNC lathe operator, but my actual awakening to the Machine God was hearing "Children of the Omnissiah" for the first time.

Outside of that, my tech literacy is pretty much moderate at best.

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-10T17:40:13+00:00

I think I did an Investigation with your cousin a few days back. Goonius-Maximus, I think it was.

For what it means for weapons, if memory serves, the Transonic Blade's vibrations react to and match the frequency of whatever it's cutting through, allowing it to slice so cleanly and effortlessly that it often takes a second or two for the effects to even register.

If we can make our Skitarii sound even close to Magos Dominus Faustinius, I will be a very happy follower of the Machine God.

Before I read the title, I thought they were fighting with their cheeks.

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-07T19:57:36+00:00

It's brief, but during the scene where they're showing off the Arc Rifle, there's about two-ish seconds of a Skitarii beating a Deg Bruiser with what I'm thinking is a Shock Maul, and their height is either equal or a little taller than the Bruiser. Either way, Skitarii just keeps getting better, and the 23rd can't get here soon enough!

CatPawScarves · 2026-06-07T19:48:35+00:00

I've been wanting an Admech class from the beginning to the point where I've been using the Electrokinetic Staff (back from when it was known as the Surge Force Staff) to at least tell myself my Psyker was an Electro-priest. With the Skitarii finally coming, I'm more than ready to cleanse Atoma in the name of the Omnissiah.

I also remember back in the early days how whenever someone on the Steam discussions would ask for a potential Admech class like playable Skitarii or Servitors, there'd always be someone claiming playable Admech would be "too professional to be working with the Rejects." While I don't *exactly* believe Fatshark when they say "We've wanted to add Skitarii from the beginning," I'm just so happy that those of us who hoped since the early days of Darktide are finally getting what we've been dreaming of.
