  1. i agree with evrything you said in this presentation, however, my argument is for a night lord instead, its a space marine, who is absolutley brutal, and loves nothing more then torturing innocentsa who cant fight back, seems like a cake walk for the entity

  2. I would honestly play the Lost so much. I'd probably have points in matches where I'd be yelling "HORUS YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! DON'T YOU RUN FROM ME YOU BALD TRAITOROUS CUCK!!!!" whenever the rage meter would fill up if that came to DBD.

  3. I WOULD LOVE MORE KILLERS TO HAVE OTHER FACTION COSMETICS
    Skull Merchant is literally MEANT to have a Tech Priest skin
    Plague could easily work for a Necron OR a Battle Sister
    Give the legion an imperial guard of some kind, be it death Korps or whatever (I don’t play them much I just like death korps of krieg)
    And finally if Xeno could get a Tyranid skin I would cry tears of joy. The licensing is near impossible I know but a tyranid skin would make my life

  4. I'd honestly be cool if they were premium skins. The Oni could be a world eater, the skull merchant could be a dark mechanicum/adeptus mechanicus, the artist could be a demon of tzeentch. A survivor could even have a caden soldier's skin. I think there are a lot of options for WH40k.

  5. Killer: Inquisitor

    The Inquisitor is a member of the Imperial Inquisition, a secret organization that fights heresy, witchcraft and alien threats. He is a ruthless and merciless servant of the Emperor who will stop at nothing to cleanse the galaxy of humanity's enemies3.

    Ability: Fire Judgment

    The Inquisitor can use his flamethrower to set survivors on fire. Survivors caught in the fire take constant damage and become visible to the killer. Fire can also spread to surrounding objects and create traps. The Inquisitor can recharge his flamethrower from fuel barrels scattered around the map.

    Weapon: Energy Sword

    The Inquisitor attacks the survivors with his energy sword, which can cut through any armor and flesh. This weapon has a long range and high damage.

    Survivors: Space Marine

    A Space Marine is an elite Imperial Space Marine soldier, genetically engineered and trained to fight in space and on planets. He is a loyal and brave warrior of the Emperor who knows no fear or doubt.

  6. I really appreciate the effort put into this video – I was already intrigued by the idea of a 40k chapter, but your breakdown and theories on who it could be have me truly excited!
    Plus, all the potential for crossover skins! Ork Hillbilly, Daemonhost Nurse, Haemonculi Cenobite, the list is endless!

  7. I feel like if a Warhammer Licensing dealio happens, I assume it will probably happen as a series of cosmetics for some of the killers. Just seems like BHVR would treat it similarly to AOT or CryptTv. Which, I guess would mean not the most faithful adaptions, but with a greater variety of entries in exchange.
    I feel like that both fits 40Ks vibes as "A collection of jerk blorbos who can be YOUR jerk blorbos" and would be less of a headache to put ingame on the DBD side.

  8. While I typically stay away from 40K (the hopelessness of grimdark settings is emotionally difficult for me to invest in), this video is definitely a very intriguing breakdown. I laughed at the thumbnail for MtG but you had me by the end, so I figured hey why not for this one as well, afterall I will be forever disappointed Xeno didn't ship with a power like your concept. I love the idea of a selfishly-altruistic survivor making bold plays to push to endgame, even if Red Thirst would be a nightmare on Pinheads, tho sadly bhvr decided a long time ago to not attempt a killer power that resembles flying, but then again they have reversed stance on a few things as their technology has improved. Looking forward to the next videos, esp IT and terminator, tho I highly approve of the solidarity and wouldn't mind waiting until all relevant strikes close. Have you considered a D&D setting concept? Much love from another 'tism horror nerd across the pond! <3
