*deep heavy breathing* give me the bolter...the heavy...Bolter.

Honestly if Reavers could use their grapple guns to buff their charge range on the table top that could possibly make that squad more useful and maybe worth taking for once.

Team chat comms in this game are gonna be freakin funny. A lot of “For the emperor!” and “Blood for the blood god!”

i know when val said "a 30 minute video" in the back of his head he said to him self "yeah fuckin right"

“My next vídeo is going to be a lot longer than you are used to: 20 mins at that” - also valrak: posts 10 min video SCAMS!

I hoped librarian would be a class

Excited to see the chaos customization

I feel like a crack head who hasn’t gotten a fix every time I see new space marine 2 stuff

I'm excited to make a Dark Angel Bulwark.

Greetings from Australia brother Valrak (also known as Catachan because apparently we’re viewed as a death world due to spiders, snakes etc) 😆🗡️ 🇦🇺

EmployereRak, you’re missing 10-20 minutes of work here. I will be preparing a performance improvement plan.

Valrak and everyone all excited about SM2 Me still disappointed Tyranids will not be playable in the game

Did anyone else see that brother weaving a dreadnought? The emperors protects

The abilities on the right, I feel, are ultimates. I think they represent a huge ability be it for yourself or your team with a long cooldown. The tactical’s ultimates will provide general squad buffs, the vanguards will focus on taunting or defensive auras, while the assault has melee damage buffs. I can see the snipers being critical or elite damage. In my opinion, the heavy will likely get a damage/fire rate buff/aura and extra ordnance.

I’m VERY new to this franchise and Space Marine 2 is what’s getting me hooked so I’m happy to see content being made about it! (Now time to watch the video)

This game is going to be absolutely divine. I can tell

I really hope they let us customize our marines color scheme like we could in the first game

So now I know I’ll be playing Bulwark. The blade guard Veterans are my favorite space marine unit, so I knew from the moment I saw it in the trailer I would be whatever class gave me that shield

My biggest question - are we locked to just Ultramarines for the co-op mode? The customization only seemed to show Ultramarines, but the PvP mode showed multiple different traitor legion options, so will we be able to play as other loyalist chapters? I really need to be playing as a Black Templar or Imperial Fist.

I’ll be going in as a assault class like i did in the first game,Blasting into the air and thundering down with my thunder hammer 😂 Also like WWZ,I wonder if you’ll be able to go solo vs the Tyranids with bots.

I wish you could play as the bugs too. Would be so cool if you could play coop vs SM, start as a gaunt and as you do damage, you gain points to spawn as bigger organisms such as Warrior, Lictor, Pyrovore all the way up to a Carnifex and at the end of the mission you could even become a Hive Tyrant. Damn, that´d be awesome!

I bet that triple icon on the upper right is what the squad member is assigned to do in game. Melee, ranged, heal as basic orders while purging the unclean.

I cannot wait for this! Great preview on the classes. Would love to see all the visual customisation for each class too

Would've loved an Apothecary class but if there's still ways for healing I'm all for it

I didn't know there were different classes. This is very neat I plan on upgrading and using Tactical and assualt 1st.

the monetisation is gonna go hard in this game. And i dont think i'll be able to stop myself

I'll take one Dark Angles blade guard, please.

Fantastic! I hadn't realised the Reiver was using his grapple-gun to do that jump kick, I was wondering what the hell was going on and now it makes sense. Cheers :)

this game can be truly somethibg else..

Probably worth looking at the levelling in WwZ developed by the same team to see how it’s likely going to be implemented in SM2

Tactical is a given. This is the Intercessor, so the main armament will be a bolt rifle, with secondary armaments being a bolt pistol and chainsword. Alternative weapons will likely be the plasma incinerator, as Hellblasters are the modern equivalent to the old Tactical Support squads, and maybe a pyreblaster, although the ability icons lack any indication of flame weapons. At higher levels, we may see the Tactical class become a Sternguard Veteran of sorts and receive combi-weapons and an upgraded Sternguard bolt rifle. They could get other melee weapons besides a chainsword, but I feel like them getting access to most power weapons would diminish the Assault class. Assault is also an easy guess. This is the Assault Intercessor, with a heavy bolt pistol and chainsword for main armanents. Alternative weapons could be a hand flamer, plasma pistol, power weapons, and thunder hammers at higher levels. Because they haven't shown these guys as much, I think it's likely that we'll have a ground version and a jump pack version, and I would hazard a guess that the jump pack might not be available at the start, maybe somewhere between level 5 and 10. Heavy is almost assuredly going to be a Heavy Intercessor, with access to heavy bolt rifles and heavy bolters, and alternative weapons will likely be melta rifles and multi-meltas like an Eradicator. We could also see boltstorm gauntlets and flamestorm gauntlets used by Aggressors, and while they aren't equipped in Gravis armour, the superfrag and superkrak rocket launchers used by Desolators would also be a good fit for the heavy. While I think it's highly unlikely, I could see the Heavy gaining access to Terminator armour at high levels, and the choice to not show the Heavy in the previews is in an attempt to keep this a secret until closer to launch to build more hype. The next three classes seem to be pretty cut and dry, and I don't think there will be a huge amount of customization or flexibility in them. I believe the Vanguard will be equipped similarly to Infiltrators, Incursors, and Reivers, but they will not have access to Eliminator or Suppressor wargear. The Vanguard will likely have bolt carbines, bolt pistols, and combat knives, along with the grapnel launcher from Reivers and possibly haywire mines from the Incursors. There are different patterns of bolt carbines that could fleche out the monotony of the class, but I think this will be about it for the Vanguard. The Sniper is a Vanguard Eliminator. They'll have a bolt sniper rifle and a las fusil, along with a pistol and combat knife like the Vanguard. From the class icons, it also looks like they'll have access to the Instigator-pattern bolt carbine that the Vanguard Captain and Eliminator Sergeants can take in the tabletop, so we could see the Sniper with a more versatile weapon and not just limited to a sniper rifle. The Bulwark is a Bladeguard Veteran, and I think that's about it. A power sword and storm shield, and possibly a couple alternate melee weapons like a thunder hammer. For pistols they have a bolt pistol and they could get access to a plasma pistol and hand flamer and maybe even a neo-volkite pistol like the Bladeguard lieutenant.

What's the likelihood we actually get a full army painter? Would love to actually get to play something close to my tabletop paint scheme ( Loyalist Alpha Legion, turquoise and silver)

i already see me and the bros using 3 bulwarks and 3 heavys in 6v6

Imagin in future they get creative and add a librarian and tormentor. So excited for this game

I'm figuring the three perks on the side are subclasses for some reason, considering you can play as the Reiver but I've also seen the infiltrator and incursor bolters in the trailer too.

Great info here thanks Val! I will be streaming as i cant wait for it to hit we just need now confirmation if the greatest Astartes will be playable the GREY KNIGHTS! 😊

There are so many cool possibilities with these classes. Im very interested in the heavy class. We know it’s gravis armor so I’m hoping it’ll get access to boltstorm gauntlets for like an Aggressor build. I’m hoping that as well that we’ll be able to get cosmetic capes for our non-sniper classes. I really want to be able to play with a build that’s like the gravis captain mini. That would be SO cool.

I will absolutely play an exclusively imperial fist Bulwark, and i trust they will give us a powerfist/ Thunderhammer/ or even just a power maul for that class

I'm hyped to see how the Heavy bolt Rifle will work.

There he goes bringing class into it again.

A hord mode would be sick. But set it up like a giant raid system

I’m really wondering if you choose a chapter that wears tabards if it will be represented, like dark angels or black Templars , ( along with the chains )

Seems like there is a ranged and a melee variant for each of the three types of primaris armor, sniper and vanguard in phobos, tactical and assault in tacticus, and heavy and bulwark in gravis

Can I just say, having primaris models has made this game so much better.

My guess is that if we get suppressors in the game it will be some kind of jumping heavy instead of in the vanguard. But honestly if the heavy at high levels could access the drop gravis armor and use assault bolters or the suppressors auto-cannon that would be awesome.

Hey Valrak I may have forgotten but did you not cover the heavy class?

As always another awesome video from you :D i am so excited for the new warhammer 40k space marine 2 game, that grappling hook looks bad ass!

Second vote for the Bulwark! That's my first pick too. I've 4 squads of Bladeguard in my army.

Honestly when i heard that there were gonna be classes i assumed itd be like "assault marine, tactical marine, chaplain, apothecary, scout, librarian."

Tactical, assult and sniper class are gunna be my go toos for sure.

Bulwark is going to be so god damn great as everyone channels their inner Ignis

I hope lighting claws or and power fists are a melee option. But what I really want is to make a Black Templar marine.

I wonder if they’ll do perk and blessing rolls and consecration systems like dark tide If so that would be awesome

The Bulwark class reminds me of the Captain from the Indomitus box a bit. Bladeguard fits too though.

It would be cool if when you get to the end of the skill tree you start at the top again and choose a second one.

I hope the Bulwarks banner skills attract enemies. Obviously in medieval combat standard bearers were targets and taking them out would demoralise the enemy

Vanguard is also a mystery to me as well. He's wearing a Phobos armor so he's already light armored type with decent mobility. But we have Assault class with Jump packs and dedicated melee attacker (Warrior archetype) with more mobility than Vanguard. We also have Tactical for Range support DPS (Archer archetype) so Vanguard being hybrid range/melee will be neither better than those 2 dedicated class but have lesser armor (or health). Sniper is also a variant of Vanguard and also has Phobos armor with cloak so an Assassin archetype possibly since he can also melee invi build I presume. Overall Vanguard will possibly fall to a budget Assassin or Thief/Rogue archetype with faster move speed and decent gap close that neither excel in Range and Melee than Tactical or Assault. Having a higher DPS than Assault or Tactical will break the balance and relegate their archetype and being better Assassin will make the Sniper a cheap imitation of Vanguard. I honestly don't know why they put Vanguard as a class since its just a balance nightmare in the making.

They're all look interesting but definitely leaning today's bulwark and Devastator marine

I hope this game is at least half as dope as it looks. So cool

Idk what game modes there’ll be but a capture the flag game where you have to carry a giant banner that buffs your squad back to base would be AMAZING

Guys, I'm so thankful for this. We only live one time...and we get to experience this.

Ready to start grinding and maxing out all 6 classes 💪

I know they haven't shown it, but i really hope they have a psyker class or add one post game.

I just want to see more customisation through challenges, such as gaining the ability to unlock different eye lens colour, chains, seals, holy symbols etc. be cool af

this game could be the next big thing, give us some "Sisters of Battle" characters to as play as for the MP

Bulwark definitely feels like a terminator marine

What about the Heavy? We know we get meltas and heavy bolters because, Gravis, but do we get dual flamers like the Aggressors too? I doubt we get plasma guns like the Inceptors, though.

one thing, How do you make spots only the Vanguard would be able to get to if the assault has a JETPACK

Now I really wonder about the gameplay. In what way are they going to make stealth relevant. Hopefully not as a specific points type of thing, but with how everything just looks like its to battle to battle to battle type of thing. Not much downtime. Idk just really didnt expect stealth or know how they are planning to handle that. lol xD

I love when creators say “new this” “new that” “this just in” and it’s just them talking about a video we’ve already seen that’s 2 weeks old

Man they need to add a space marine Librarian. I wonder if the heavy is just a gravis armoured marine?

I hope the Vanguard is able to choose how it plays between the 4 types mentioned. It would be cool to see the potential to have a bit faster but maybe less powerful heavy weapons. On another note, I wonder if the 6v6 mode is going to be a one per class. So one Tactical, Heavy/Devastator, Sniper, Vanguard, Bulwark, and Assault per team

The tactical class at level 25 had one skill per 3 while the level 6 assault and others had all chosen. So... It looks like you can have a maximum of 8 at once?

Nice insight. Where was the interview posted?

Looking at the vanguards legs and torso area is it part of the Primaris lore that some of them have lighter ceramite armor types for quicker movement/reflexive stuff?

I wonder if this game will have pvp like 2011!? I loved the pvp in the first game hope they do it again, also horde mode making a come would be so cool

I really hope they let you change your chapter from just the ultramarines too. I want to play as my chapter

Hopefully, the assault marine class isn't spammed as badly in pvp as it was in the original.

Thanks for the new info Valrak.

Question:- do you think/ know if their will be an army painter option when customising your marine? Or will it just have set legions? Also I know you mentioned during this video you hope you will be able to customise your weapon loadouts but I'm hoping for a chain axe and a carcharodons colour pallet. 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈

I kinda wish the different classes were actual warhammer unit types, like librarians, apothecaries, terminators, etc. instead of just basic fps character types. Either way im sure itll be fun though

Val. I'm going to be at the Denver Fan Expo where they'll be having a SM2 demo available to play. What's something you'd like to know specifically for me to look out for?

If we can change our chapter for all classes, I'm so repping the Dark Angels and Blood Angels. Maybe the Blue boys too.

I'm curious how the vanguard and sniper will look on the chaos side, since they don't have a phobos like armor.

FOR POSUL!!!!!

I want them to add more classes. Agressors, terminators, apothecaries, librarians and so on. All with their own weapons and skills. Im up for such DLCs.

I‘m so hyped for Bulwark!

only thing that i hope they change is the running animation. Maybe it will feel better once we play, but from what i see, it loks way to slow and bulky. Feels like they are bogged down by their armor, and it should feel the opposite. Should be more in line with how space marines run in SM1. Long and even strides.

I wonder how classes will work for Chaos players because most of these loadouts wouldn't have a direct Chaos equivalent? PvP in Space Marine was always Imperium vs Chaos and I wonder if that will be the same here? Also the Chaos Marines we do see in the promo stuff do have proper boltguns which we haven't seen the Primaris loyalists use.

Looks stunning, animations and everything look 10/10. Customization and diff classes add nice amount of depth. More weapons is better. I hope the game delivers what it promises in trailer, recent AAA-studio game release disappointments made me to be pessimistic. PVP and PVE both are really small scale, 3 and 12, which is somehow less than in previous Space Marine - as if devs expect player base around this game to be small to fill the matches more easily? so no Eternal Crusade like PVP festival, which was a bummer. Also hope they check weapon sounds (bolters must have enough kick and oompf) and flamer range seemed extremely short in one trailer..Also will be disappointed if game lacks taunt/shout button, nothing is more epic than "for the Emperor!" shouted before you ram your blade into the enemy.

I can’t wait. I haven’t been excited for the multiplayer part of a game in a long time. I think the last time I got this excited for a game was back in 2016 for DOOM.

What I’m hoping for is Bulwark gets a aggro ability.

As a Gravis armour boy, I will be rocking the heavy armour

Which class has the melta or the flamer... that's my class. :D

Idk how efficient a Sniper class is gonna be if there’s only 3 marines, pretty sure you’re always gonna have lil fellas close at to you

SWEET EMPEROR! How many videos are you going to make about a videogame???

No apothecary or tech priest?

I hope we get a librarian class later on

I'll grind the Heavy class like a maniac, chonky armor for the win

So excited for this 🙌
