You can't blame me for being disappointed in last year's Hive Scum reveal. Warhammer 40k Darktide is one of the best Warhammer 40k games around, but it's severely lacking in Adeptus Mechanicus representation. I've subscribed to the cult of the machine god since before they even had an official miniature range, and I, along with thousands of others, believed that a Mechanicus character was going to be added to Darktide last year. We were let down by the Hive Scum, but developer Fatshark has revealed another playable character is on the way in 2026, so my prayers could be answered.
