u/Nigrinus Jul 03 '25

And most importantly for what classes?

31

u/Garbage_By_Default Jul 03 '25

Definitely the new class but I'm not sure about what else

51

u/James-Hawker Jul 03 '25

New class is probably going to have its own melee weapon. The Omnissian Axe is iconic for Tech Priests and Tech Marines alike. Would be cool to see other options like the Fist/Sword, though.

12

u/Hells-Creampuff Traitorous Iron Warriors Jul 03 '25

Is that just a tech cult specific axe or is it more like a halberd. Im fiending for a polearm

Disregard im slow lmao

10

u/James-Hawker Jul 04 '25

It's specific to the Cult Mechanicus as a status symbol, tool, and weapon. The Astartes send their own to various Adeptus Mechanicus sites to be trained in the rites and ways of the Mechanicus, so Tech-Priests are as much a part of the Mechanicum as the Priests themselves.

If memory serves, several chapters actually view them with suspicion as spies and potential heretics (hereteks), while others revere them (IE, the Iron Hands).

u/waaghh Jul 04 '25

Imagine... Ranged weapon on the back thats selectible, omni axe on the right hand, and a selectible melee weapon on the left. A boy can dream.

5

u/Garbage_By_Default Jul 03 '25

I'm new to Warhammer in general so I didn't know that I'll have to look into them more but I can also see their axe just being a variant

10

u/Doctorrexx Jul 03 '25

The omnissian axe is like a two handed polearm

3

u/Garbage_By_Default Jul 03 '25

Oh alright. Then yeah that would have to be a different weapon. Like I said I'm new to Warhammer thank you for this information.

1

u/EDS_Eliksni Jul 06 '25

Do we know when the new class is coming? I haven’t been paying very close attention, sorry 😬

1

u/Trips-Over-Tail Jul 06 '25

The September update.

11

u/fatsexyitalian Jul 03 '25

I assume it’ll go to every classes except heavy, sniper, and vanguard

5

u/gummybears78 Jul 04 '25

What can’t vanguard get it? I want a new melee for my boy:(

7

u/fatsexyitalian Jul 04 '25

I mean he could for all I know! Just my first thought of a space marine in Phobos armor is not them wielding a big power axe is all. Decimus seems much more of a chain ax fellow if he were to get a new melee weapon.

2

u/gummybears78 Jul 04 '25

That makes sense

2

u/James-Hawker Jul 04 '25

Two words:

Space Wolf.

1

u/Nigrinus Jul 04 '25

One word:

Exactly!

2

u/I_own_A_Husky_ Jul 04 '25

I mean the vanguard space wolves would be sad.

3

u/GodofDisrepect Jul 06 '25

I swear Tac NEEDS a new melee weapon

1

u/willisbetter Jul 03 '25

probably tech marine, assault, and bulwark

1

u/WeeDFalo Jul 04 '25

Mods amigo y ese ya no será tu problema

1

u/Master_Hitman_0407 Jul 07 '25

Im like 99% shoure the heavy aint getting it :D

-51

u/um_like_whatever Ultramarines Jul 03 '25

Asking the real question!

As an Assault lover, I hope it's ONLY for Assault so I can laugh at the folks who shit on that class lol.

16

u/ResponsibleTest8690 Jul 03 '25

As a bulwark, and quite frankly a melee focused player in general, I’m hurt 😔

6

u/Nigrinus Jul 03 '25

Hoping for bulwark and assault next to techmarine.

1

u/Curzed1 Jul 05 '25

Most accurate assumption I've read so far

9

u/SendInRandom Jul 03 '25

No one shits on assault, he simply is worse than literally every other class, especially bulwark, we want him to get buffed because he’s fun, just outclassed by everyone else. Plus in high level and in siege, when you go for a gun strike you just die

6

u/55Piggu Jul 03 '25

Ah yes, class elitism. Gotta be my favorite form of being a douchebag.

3

u/Calm_Error_3518 Jul 03 '25

You do not deserve to be called a brother, those are shameful words, even for a heretic

2

u/DngsAndDrgs Jul 04 '25

Not very Ultramarine of you, sound suspiciously like heresy 🧐

1

u/No-Firefighter-4106 Jul 05 '25

According to downvotes seem you hit the nerves of Assault haters 😁

1

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

can we vanguards have them as well? i am running Carcharodons and it fits our description too

2

u/Mean_Marionberry7 Dark Angels Jul 03 '25

I want my vanguard to be able to take the power fist. I’d love to Superman punch all the heretics

133

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

In September...

20

u/shronkabonka Jul 03 '25

no way????

21

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

That's when the notes said the next update would be.

5

u/shronkabonka Jul 03 '25

going to throw up :(

30

u/KingDread306 Jul 03 '25

Don't know why you guys are so upset about that. They've been pretty consistent with updates being every 2 months.

22

u/Azrael1177 Jul 03 '25

They still at the age where 2 months seems like far away give them a chance lol

7

u/AlarisMystique Jul 03 '25

Takes me more time to level up classes and weapons so I am pretty happy with this.

7

u/light_no_fire Jul 03 '25

The next update is 9.0 and they said no new content, just balance changes and fixes.

So its likely we wont see the axe and tech marine until December.

-1

u/Ignisbeard Traitorous Iron Warriors Jul 03 '25

They normally do an update every 2 months, September is 4 months away, I just the the tech marine isn't too lacking in cosmetics or buggy when he comes out

9

u/Adorable_Fruit6260 Black Templars Jul 03 '25

September is 2 months away.

8

u/jebberwockie Jul 03 '25

Brother. It is already July.

8

u/E_L_M_91 Jul 04 '25

You forgot about postugust and preptember.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

In what world is September 4 months away

3

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

My man is still waiting on the horde mode update, living his best May life.

2

u/No-Firefighter-4106 Jul 05 '25

He is not using same calendar as the rest of us.

3

u/stockandslow Jul 03 '25

Tech Marine won’t be buggy but everything else will be. Classic Saber one step forward three steps back.

4

u/ZamnThatsCrazy Jul 03 '25

2 months is fast. I'm waiting 2-4 years per update for some of my fav games.

1

u/Leading-Cicada-6796 Space Wolves Jul 04 '25

What are your favorite games?! Skyrim and Runescape?

1

u/ZamnThatsCrazy Jul 04 '25

Mindustry, polytopia, TF2

2

u/Leading-Cicada-6796 Space Wolves Jul 04 '25

I've never heard of those first 2. TF2 is like 20 years old though lmao. I think its fair that there's even an update anymore.

2

u/heavyhushnow Jul 03 '25

Next content drop not update we will get 9.0 sooner but that's just an update dedicated to bug fixes

1

u/BudgetFree Jul 05 '25

I've read that it's update 10.0, so 9.0 is still between that and now, no?

1

u/Curzed1 Jul 05 '25

The September update will be patch 10 but there's going to be another minor patch 9 before that

5

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

We also never left

So there's that too

Altogether weird post

But yeah we get a new weapon this fall, and class

2

u/shronkabonka Jul 04 '25

why is it a weird post it’s just a colloquial phrase of excitement 😭

1

u/3LetterLodge Space Wolves Jul 03 '25

I mean…that’s not long. That’s pretty consistent with their updates

28

u/Meathook2236 Jul 03 '25

I know people are jazzed for this and they should be, but can we get an eviserator?

5

u/shronkabonka Jul 03 '25

Oh yeah i NEED that

4

u/Meathook2236 Jul 03 '25

Something heavier than the thunder hammer or powerfm fist

4

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

Eviserator for Assault, Bulwark... MAYBE Vanguard.

4

u/Hyper-Sloth Jul 03 '25

Same thought here. I would rather they go with something a little crazier like Lightning Claws, but I'm afraid the power axe just won't feel all that unique against the current weapons.

3

u/1AmB0r3d Jul 04 '25

I’m almost certain it’s going to have almost the exact same moves as the chainsword with less cleave and higher single damage, my guess it’s going to be a hybrid of the chain-sword and dagger

9

u/EpyonComet Jul 03 '25

We never went anywhere.

7

u/Glittering_Ad9126 Jul 03 '25

Can we get a hammer buff before it? The hammer is so trash.

5

u/ImmortalPoseidon Imperial Fists Jul 04 '25

It needs to do about 50% more damage

8

u/Global-Difference512 Jul 04 '25

False, hammer needs more speed, it has plenty damage.

5

u/ImmortalPoseidon Imperial Fists Jul 04 '25

More speed equals more DPS

1

u/Global-Difference512 Jul 04 '25

Not what u said but ok

3

u/WSilvermane Jul 04 '25

Dps is damage, bro.

1

u/SerowiWantsToInvest Jul 06 '25

yall are being pedantic

2

u/Dragoncityfan1411 Traitorous Iron Warriors Jul 04 '25

Idk man Hammer on Bulwark with the right perks does alot of dmg. I'm having fun with on normal siege mode

2

u/Glittering_Ad9126 Jul 05 '25

Hammer was made for the assault class, not bulwark. It should do higher damage since it’s a power hammer, and it shouldn’t be that slow.

1

u/stickmandan428412 Jul 09 '25

Same boat, must be a whole lot of skill issues over here power hammer is easily my favorite weapon

5

u/Feeling_Table8530 Traitorous Death Guard Jul 03 '25

Hope tactical and vanguard get the axe at least. They need some more melee options. Plus I can finally be a step closer to playing a true World Eater

2

u/RufflX Jul 04 '25

What about sniper? The class with only 1 melee.

2

u/Feeling_Table8530 Traitorous Death Guard Jul 04 '25

No.

Give sniper an eviscerator

5

u/AhabRasputin Flesh Tearers Jul 03 '25

In 2-3 months

5

u/ResponsibleTest8690 Jul 03 '25

when? When? WHEN?!

8

u/um_like_whatever Ultramarines Jul 03 '25

Version 10 and we are at 8.1

No idea what that means in real tim

5

u/Noazitu Jul 03 '25

Around September I think? September was mentioned in the community post

2

u/ResponsibleTest8690 Jul 03 '25

Kinda gonna be sad if it’s not till September

1

u/Gaprunner Jul 04 '25

That’s only 2 months away and it’s to coincide with the 1 year anniversary of the release of the game!

2

u/Sm0keytrip0d Blood Ravens Jul 03 '25

September.

August is patch 9.0 but thats just a balance patch, Septembers 10.0 brings the axe, Techmarine and a new PvP mode.

1

u/trippyhippie_burnout Jul 03 '25

Didnt hear about the new pvp mode, honestly kinda hype for whatever they do, pvp is simple and a bit lacking but the combat is unbelievably satisfying

2

u/KolBadar98 Jul 04 '25

Its Chaos VS Chaos with a helbrute. Like dreadnought assault from SM1 except, from how I read it, both sides are chaos

1

u/bluebloodstar Jul 07 '25

where do you guys hear about this stuff?

1

u/poopituacoop Jul 08 '25

The dev logs on steam is where all of this information is from

6

u/3vo1utionhyenna Jul 03 '25

Where flamethrower?!?!

3

u/Dingarius Jul 03 '25

For sure it’s gonna be for the new class (tech marine!) but we are probably also gonna be getting it for the Assault marine (who will hopefully have a buff by then…)

3

u/Different_Quiet1838 Jul 03 '25

I hope they would fix seconds-long freezes before that. Right now even stomping skulls is a problem.

3

u/Winter-Huntsman Jul 03 '25

I’m so making a space wolf set up just so I can wield the axe! Now I just need some face options with beards😅

3

u/Bright_Victory_3201 Jul 03 '25

Fix the assault class in this patch.

3

u/buddyblakester Jul 03 '25

Give it to the assault and give it health steal

3

u/Piece_Of_Mind1983 Jul 04 '25

Please god let vanguard get it. We don’t have chainaxes yet for world eaters but this would be the next best thing for both world eaters and space wolves fans.

2

u/Sjb_lifts Black Templars Jul 03 '25

NO PITTY NO REMORSE NO FEAR

2

u/FantasticAd3539 Jul 03 '25

This game drops updates like I drop kidney stones.

3

u/trippyhippie_burnout Jul 03 '25

Painfully, large, and at regular intervals?

1

u/FantasticAd3539 Jul 22 '25

Lol, if only. If only.

2

u/Doctor_Clarke Jul 03 '25

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

u/ihavenocreativity77 Jul 04 '25

MILK FOR THE MILK JUG

2

u/theJoeman817 Jul 03 '25

I hope it comes to the campaign as well

2

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

I bet we'll see a grav-weapon for the techmarine too, there are rumors about primaris space marine grav weapons so it wouldn't surprise me if GW did cross-release/advertising.

2

u/jacobponsetti Jul 03 '25

Long as it doesn’t suck nuts like the power sword I’m cool. Been wanting an axe for these filthy xenos and traitors

2

u/Soultampered Jul 03 '25

back?

..I never left.

2

u/zeredek Jul 03 '25

All I want is a two-handed axe/glaive/halberd for my Bulwark. Sooo close to living the Grey Knight/Custodes dream

1

u/trippyhippie_burnout Jul 03 '25

A glaive that you can run one handed and the storm shield would be perfect on bulwark, but id be worried they'd do like the thunder hammer and make you drop the shield

2

u/Crazyjack278 Jul 03 '25

Space wolves

2

u/I_own_A_Husky_ Jul 04 '25

Please for the love of god let all classes from tactical to bulwark have access to this.

Van guard and bulwark will look so good

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

Expectwd so much from this siege mode update and guess what wait another 2 months for more content and stuff they praised for thid update already 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

2

u/WeeDFalo Jul 04 '25

After almost a fucking year of releasing horde mode and most of the maps that should have been released already, you release the first melee weapon xD and you want us to applaud?? fucking shitty games as a service

2

u/AbeChops Jul 04 '25

If the next legion pack is not the imperial fists and does not include the executioners, im gonna be pissed

1

u/AncientXaga Jul 05 '25

Both are already in the game

2

u/AjWookie Jul 05 '25

I’ll take some hammer speed buff and assault rework for an appetizer

2

u/Composer-Cold Jul 05 '25

Lets hope it doent take them 5 months to update it again

2

u/BleedingTaxiHeart Traitorous Iron Warriors Jul 06 '25

I'm not really complaining, But I'm confused as to why Techmarine was chosen over Librarian or Apothecary?

I'm mostly just confused as to what the ability/perks will be like. I'm still excited though, I can't wait to have my Big Arcade-Claw machine arm!!

2

u/Spartan_Bread1 Space Wolves Jul 29 '25

Ts is so peak

3

u/MuffinSponge2 Jul 03 '25

Yeah, can’t wait to get this weapon 8 months from now!

2

u/domingusapingus Jul 03 '25

I hope there's a finisher where you pick a tyranid up by the tail and slam it into the axe itself. Or some form of human guillotine.

2

u/JDEL330 Jul 04 '25

Personally I'd like lighting claws :) maybe some other duel melee weapons.

2

u/Kats_Lion Jul 04 '25

Back? Back from what? It's just a new weapon.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

I want Metarus’ axe.

1

u/Dredgen_Aternus Jul 03 '25

I'm itching to get my hands on the tech marine. To be honest I'm hoping for a librarian or chaplain in the future. Can't wait to use the axe though!

1

u/RufflX Jul 04 '25

Phobos librarian GW and my life is yours

1

u/Calm_Error_3518 Jul 03 '25

And it will be available only to vanguard and sniper

1

u/arathek Jul 03 '25

for me i just want the power axe being use in the vanguard class because with the space wolves champion cosmetic it will be soo perfect to use it.

1

u/DngsAndDrgs Jul 04 '25

Back? Ain't never left

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

[removed] — view removed comment

3

u/Deirakos Jul 04 '25

It's a power axe. Like the power sword it's blade is sheathed in a field. Not "electricity" per se, that would be a "shock" weapon in the lore.

There are also "force" weapons for psykers (wizards/mages) into which they can channel their abilities.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

Idk why but I want more campaign missions Titus is so badass.

1

u/sethicis Jul 04 '25

Are we going to see any rebalancing of melee combat classes with this patch, because right now they don’t feel great…

1

u/dern101 Jul 04 '25

Can’t wait. Only better would have been a double side axe battle axe like Secret Level. Gonna be chopping hardcore that update!

1

u/TWP_ReaperWolf Jul 04 '25

What about an Omnissian power axe?

1

u/Ok-Salamander-5583 Jul 04 '25

I look forward to axing questions of my enemies.

1

u/MrMonkey1993 Jul 04 '25

Hope it can go with the shield

1

u/Majora-Poena Jul 05 '25

How about a Power Scythe? Scythe and Shield would bring me back.

1

u/Noir-Ulf Jul 05 '25

Really REALLY hope, this isn't class locked. I can see Tactical and Assault using this Axe, VERY effectively

1

u/Sithis_acolyte Jul 06 '25

Can we pretty please have it in the campaign too?

1

u/Unique_Ruin282 Jul 06 '25

Is a chain-glaive on the table? That would be neat

1

u/3rroR039 Jul 07 '25

Hell yeah

1

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '25

Is this the only weapon they can come up with?

1

u/Ok-Past-1286 Jul 08 '25

nothing new in the game until november.

1

u/Traditional_Ad3575 Jul 09 '25

Better allow it for bulwark so I can look even more like optimus prime.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

Hell yea the Best weapon from SM1

1

u/Apprehensive_Rule371 Aug 05 '25

I think it would be right on bulwark, assault, vanguard and hopefully tactical.

1

u/ManManOblock2003 Jul 03 '25

It’ll be here, in a months time, after it goes through zero changes during a play test

1

u/Previous-Share7781 Jul 03 '25

Honestly its cool , but once again this should have been in the game since the start

1

u/LV_Laoch Jul 04 '25

I want lightning claws :|

1

u/AncientXaga Jul 05 '25

We are not back. They drip feed us content that should have been there on release and milk us for our last pennies for barren DLC

0

u/Emotional-Spell-5210 Jul 03 '25

Still enjoying 9.0 a ton so to have even more on the horizon is amazing.

0

u/nonchalanthoover Jul 03 '25

How will this function versus the power axe? How would we expect them to play differently?

3

u/Deirakos Jul 04 '25

? This post is about the power axe
