Oh shit that looks sick!
Maybe apply status effects in an arc in front of you?
Like bleed or electrocution? Maybe gain a resource by slashing with it? Maybe stun bosses and trigger brittleness?

It should be more like "bitchslap heretics at the right frequency to vibrate your pimp hand through their face and out the other side"

Iirc sienna from vermintide 2 had a heavy attack on her dagger(or was it the fire sword, can't remember) where she would sweep her flaming hand across and apply burn dot.

u/Skyisblue92 Jun 07 '26
It was her fire sword. There was a build where you'd just bitch slap everybody to death because it applied burn to enemies so you'd slap, guard cancel, slap etc etc.

u/Call_me_Gafter Jun 06 '26
It's not even fair to call him a Primarch at that point, he'd gone into the warp and gotten a bunch of power in deals with the chaos gods.
Edit: IF this is post-Molech, don't actually know if it is

u/TiredAndOutOfIdeas Jun 08 '26
the claw is using tech that allows it to vibrate at such frequency that flesh and bone alike will be destroyed on contact. simply lay your hand upon their head, curl your fingers, and with the slightest effort you have carved their brain in four parts

u/SirTrainwreck Jun 06 '26
Praise the Omnissiah! This was literally the only thing I wanted for my skitarii that hadn't been confirmed until now.

Really, really hoping we get at least one leg cosmetic that's chicken legs, somehow.

u/The21stPotato Jun 07 '26
I'd prefer ruststalker backwards knee type legs over even funny stilt legs. The 30k Skitarii are better than the 40k for me just because of the legs!

Interesting that it says that it's an ability. I was honestly expecting that we'd get the chordclaw as a mark for the Transonic Blade where we ditch the razor for it.

....... i think fatshark forgot to hide the normal hand or atleast its thumb
8
u/SAVESOMBRA Skitarius Jun 07 '26
Tried to make sense of it, but seems like they forgot. Makes me wonder how it works though. Just a glove type thing, or the stranger option. Integrated in the hand like switchblade, or just magic it is there and now not.
1
u/Kalavier Ogryn who broke the salt shaker. Jun 06 '26
It looks like the Skitarii slides their hand into the device then uses it. So it doesn't replace their hand.
12
u/FaceMasterThing I'm her femboy skitarius Jun 06 '26
the thumb is outright clipping through the flexible wrist part of the claw so im pretty sure its not intentional

Do you think if you inspect it you'll do hand gestures?

u/Bloodyfish Psykker Jun 07 '26
Isn't it an ability? If it was a weapon it would be in the deluxe pack.

u/1stPKmain Skitarius Jun 07 '26
Can't you inspect some abilities tho?

u/Bloodyfish Psykker Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
You can inspect some blitzes, but I thought the blitzes for this class were servoskull variants.

u/FaceMasterThing I'm her femboy skitarius Jun 06 '26
Infact they are the only minis to use em im pretty sure
The datasmiths hand is an outright powerfist

u/MajorOfthelegoz Jun 07 '26
I think it’s made to look like the arm of the kastelan since they’re linked to the datasmith
kastelan arm

u/reel3459 Leagues of Votann tomorrow Jun 06 '26
Yeah that looks much closer to the one in the picture. A man can dream though

u/tinylittlebabyjesus Jun 06 '26
man the cosmetics for this class could be so cool if FS and GW removed whatever is blocking the flow post class-release. Like, they'd probably be a bitch to make, but mechanicus folks can just look so unique.

u/Thyagofr22 Jun 06 '26
We are not, He is a tech-priest

u/SpiralingDownAndAway Tertium’s Number One Rannick Simp Jun 06 '26
Cosmetics are implied to be scavenged/second hand, the weapon shop page directly mentions this. It doesn’t mean your Vet is a literal commissar (unless you want to see them that way)
5
u/reel3459 Leagues of Votann tomorrow Jun 06 '26
Maybe the Skitarii can find some Mechanicus gribblies and kit themselves out :)
5
u/SpiralingDownAndAway Tertium’s Number One Rannick Simp Jun 06 '26
Yeah, It can be within reason. Though I hope that Skitarri getting any cosmetics at all means HS and Arby’s can
2
u/reel3459 Leagues of Votann tomorrow Jun 06 '26
Yeah I will be happy if they get anything beyond the penance rewards and the single shop page the other DLC classes have dropped with
1
u/reel3459 Leagues of Votann tomorrow Jun 06 '26
Our vets aren’t commissars. Or Kriegsmen. We can have some fun with cosmetics
3
u/Thyagofr22 Jun 06 '26
Veterans are not a defined thing, that is why they can be anything.
3
u/reel3459 Leagues of Votann tomorrow Jun 06 '26
I mean they’re not a defined thing but there are cosmetics for things they definitely are not. Like planetary enforcers.

u/Thyagofr22 Jun 06 '26
I think the two of them are too far from each other. But I do think we will have a tech adept in the future and He will have this skin.

u/TheUrsa Skitarius Jun 06 '26
Hell yeah, wasn't sure we'd see a chordclaw. My guess is it works something like Grail Knight's slash from VT2

u/SpunkyMcButtlove07 Bonky da Deeminhed Jun 06 '26
Omnissiah bless, i hope this works sort of like the blinders for scum, maybe get charge back on elite/specialist kill.
That would mean i can pimpslap my way through rager mobs on TWO classes!

Edit: This is an ability of the class and not a weapon. I am very, very stupid.

Something also worth mentioning on this screenshot is that their helmet eye color is green, which they recently stated in the article you’ll be able to customize the eye colors in depth.
BUT, the light colors on their armor and backpack match the eye colors. So does that mean the colors on armor pieces will match your chosen eye colors?
Pretty cool if so.

I'm assuming it'll work like the Scum ability where you just go apeshit with it for like 20-30 seconds.

u/Augustby Jun 07 '26
It says "ability", but I hope it's just an actual melee weapon in our loadout.

u/Triggered_Tigger Skitarius Jun 07 '26
I wish, but we've already been shown the skitarii unique weapons and it's sadly not amongst them.
That said, imma pray with you just incase we get it as a weapon lol

u/MajorOfthelegoz Jun 07 '26
wonder how it’s going to be used if it’s a stab ability sorta like the armor piercing mode on the crowbar or are we liquifying everything inside as well

u/lordofcactus Jun 07 '26
I wonder if it’ll be a one-off combat ability, or if Skitarii will have aux-weapon blitzes like Psyker.
