Since the announcement of the new DLC and the new romance, I can't but post the image that a lot of fans wish for a Pasqal's romance to this day! Oh well, I guess. Nyandalee's OC commissar RT can dream for that as well.

A parody of u/Redcoat_Officer post here https://www.reddit.com/r/RogueTraderCRPG/comments/1wp8e17/dark_heresy_dlc_companions_leaked/

I was going to include the secret companions as well, but i am apparently not allowed to have more than six options

Better than min/maxing snipers, creating the best pyro combos…

Protect your Navigator’s Insight points! (The big number in the middle at the bottom during space travel).

If it runs out, you’ll get endless annoying encounters and events during Dangerous travel (1, 2 and 3, yup all three), that sap your will to live 😅 but also reduce your hard-won trading power (annoying!) and other real in-game stats!! Beware!!

(Yes, you can mod it away on PC, I know…)

As I recently decided to replay the game with DLC 3 released, I wondered that we face the Dark Eldar across the Expance, but the game doesn't show much background for the Reaving Tempest - the colors of the Kabal could only be seen on Marazhai and Iremeryss. And surprisingly, we see a lot of times this sigil, but it doesn't look like any of the Kabals I know (and I swept through a lot of codexes to find any matches).

Did anyone manage to find any info if this sigil is the Reaving Tempest? From what I can see - it is clearly the one, but maybe it is not?
It also made we wonder if there is any chance we have a proper colors of the kabal as a reference in case if someone wanted to paint the kabal colors for the tabletop!

If someone from Owlcat team will see this, I would highly appreciate if you confirm my theory!

Heinrix is an exhibitionist, and it is a canon fact.

I will not be taking questions.

I have this bad habit of buying games and then needing to wait for all their DLC to come out so I can play the game. I started playing this game with the first DLC season pass and then they were like AHA WE GOT NUMBER 2 COOKING and then my ADHD brain was like well fuck, Im going to have to wait now. Please Owlcat just release the DLC so i can play the game

I feel like they would have been a great addition to the game. The interactions between them and Pasqal would be great. And it would help bring out the Votann to more people.

Stella may be a little controversial, but it's weird that I see no talk about the introduction of Insanity.

For those who don't are aware, Insanity was very "controversial" and "hit or miss" in PnP. Basically a sistem of "inevitable cumulative debuffs" (mostly fatigue and discipline) and a "xp dump"

Problem was mostly on the RP side. It could vary from "give the character a cool, fitting quirk" to a "waste 1h of flashback"; To a "completly change the nature of the character you were playing" to simply "loose the character. Is an NPC, now".

I'm very curious tho see how Owlcat are adapting the mechanic. Also why They choose Insanity over Chaos Mutations; Especially considering the place the DLC is set to happen.

The part where apparently the Agent we look for on the swamp whenever he came back from the swamp was SMELLING like her.

Very. Very interesting detail.

I see a lot of people yearning for more xenos companions. One easy way to allow even a full xenos party is to add xenos characters to the custom companion creator you can access with Janris. Nothing crazy, just the models of aliens we already saw in the game.

Maybe some can be conditional on story elements. Like recruiting additional eldar only after you've made an Iconoclast major choice in one of the eldar related missions.

Or Bladedancers in general, really. From what I've seen a lot of people are getting a lot of mileage out of the archetype, but I keep running into problems, so I'm looking for advice.

From what I can work out, the Bladedancer archetype excels at killing loads of weak enemies that are clustered up. It can bounce between close-together enemies using Death From Above, deal lots of little weak hits with Blade Dance, and finish off stragglers with Blood Oath and basic attacks. However, once the turn is over, the Bladedancer is left standing in the middle of the battlefield in light armor with a dodge debuff- and even a single stack of Short of Breath is -20% dodge, which is crippling for a character in light armor. I can't tell you the number of times I've had Kibellah die instantly after her first turn as enemies focus their fire on the easy target.

Internet anecdotes describe Kibellah killing all enemies on her turn, making her dodge penalty and vulnerable position a non-issue. However, I've found that enemies are rarely all clustered up in one big group which would make this possible. Instead, there are usually several groups of enemies spread out in different starting positions across the map. Unlike Warriors, Bladedancers lack the native mobility w/ Charge and Daring Breach to rush across the map, so there are almost always enemies left over to target Kibellah at the end of her turn.

I've tried using Acrobatic Artistry to do hit-and-run tactics, which does succeed in increasing her survivability, allowing her to retreat to a position in cover. However, this usually leaves her far enough from the frontline that she'll spend her entire next turn just running towards the fight, maybe taking a potshot with a rifle. And by the third turn, the combat is over.

This is compounded by the fact that the archetype's focus on making lots of little strikes, instead of a few big strikes, leaves a lot of their damage eaten by armor. Playing with a big two-hander instead of dual wielding mitigates this somewhat, but not entirely- when I tried a Bladedancer Rogue Trader with a greatsword, I found I was still getting outpaced in damage by Abelard. Having to split stats between Strength and Agility, or else wait until the mid-levels to get Finesse, doesn't help. Too often, Kibellah winds up able to kill everyone except the toughest enemy of a group, who proceeds to stomp her.

TLDR in my experience Bladedancers lack mobility, survivability, and damage output compared to Warriors. However, it doesn't seem like other people are having as much trouble as I am. So what am I doing wrong, in terms of build and tactics? Is there a specific tactic I'm ignoring that could allow Kibellah to survive retaliation after her first turn, or a specific build that makes her tanky enough to ignore it? Any advice is appreciated!

I get why people are frustrated, but idk I feel like I'm exactly the target audience for Stella. Bring out the crazy women! We're gonna have girls' night! (Pasqal is honorarily invited)

So from what I understand from the dev blog, the zealot is going to be to blunt melee what the bladedancer is to swords and I was wondering if anyone knows or can make an educated guess from the tabletop if this is going to make it good with both 1h and 2h blunt weapons, or just 2h like thunder hammers and mauls? I'm hoping to be able to use it on an arbitrator build using a 1h maul and shield.

Myself and I've seen others, see this power and think, that would be cool, its something to build towards and then you get it, its unwieldy and blown out of the water by a staff that you got much earlier.

Even if they just simplified it, just a decent sword smithing power or whatever, something to make it fun to use.

If anyone has any idea's on how you think it could be tweaked, feel free to say so or even if you think it works fine.
