A nice detail they added was giving the skeletons messers instead of regular swords. Messers were a type of slightly curved blade that was extremely popular with infantry from the Holy Roman Empire during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, which is exactly what the Empire in Warhammer is emulating. So it makes sense that if Sienna is resurrecting some long dead empire infantrymen, they would be carrying messers
The addition of allied bots is huge. Imagine future missions (or Vermintide 3?) where we maybe get to fight alongside the reiksguard to defend a position or sth
The helmets the skeletons wear are not specifically inspired by Krubers or Saltzspires helmets, since those were themselves based on real life helmets. The first one is a morion helmet, which Kruber uses since it was common among the real life Landsknecht, according to a quick google. I think the second one is a sallet without the faceplate or the piece that covers the back of the neck, though it could also be a bascinet, though it lacks the pointy top common among bascinets. I however lean more towards the sallet, due to it's ties to germany. The third one, Saltzpyres, is a kettle helm, though it is unusually "shallow" so to speak.
Yes, the second helmet would be classified as a sallet, specifically an Italian one (being the more common version in most European countries), because of the way the back of the helmet scoops inward to conform to the back of the head and then out slightly to protect the nape of the neck, with a more german style having a flat bottom helmet ridge, less shaping, and having the neck protection protrude further out, in some cases being an articulated “lobster tail” style piece. Also a bascinet isn’t always a hound-skull, sometimes it was designed to be worn under a greathelm.
Sienna: Look Saltzpyre, they're like our children! Saltzpyre: I suddenly feel the need to procure the milk of a cow. I must head to closest market, Far, far from here. Only the best for our *_Shudder_* _children_
This is so cool, i hope they integrate this mechanic into darktide for the veteran class to have some conscripts for the officer subclass to command around
I dont think we'll be getting human soldiers. With skeletons, them showing up is easy: They crawl out of the ground. With humans, a conscript can't exactly spawn through permacrete, and if they have to come in using the same spawns as enemies then that leads to all sorts of potential issues. Meanwhile, something like an Admech summoning Servitors/Servo-Skulls would be easy. Can easily carry a servo-skull in a backpack.
TBH there is a way to do that in a lore friendly way. Some psykers apparently can create mental constructs that can man guns etc. Essentially they can summon ghost soldiers. Slots pretty neatly into what a necromancer could be in 40k.
After all this time, I can see Kruber (begrudgingly) trusting Sienna and even giving his blessing on her using dead Empire men. I mean, they're dead already. Tears won't bring them back.

Honestly it's so cool to see a necromancer class in this game and it'll definitely wanna make play Sienna more but finally her 4th career is here after so long but can't wait to try it out I wonder how it'll play out. Also thank you for showing off her career it's nice to see what it looks like.
My favourite thing about the Necromancer is that it forced Kruber to confront his past, something he isn't very good at, where in a moment of confusion, he decided that Seinna was his friend, regardless of what magic she used. And then knocked Saltzpyre out with a rock.
@@fenrirsrage4609 It's from Lohner's journal on the Vermintide 2 news site, I highly recommend reading them as they give lore to the happenings of the 5, some highlights include the time Lohner almost died after his thoughts of Kerilian's attitude towards Kruber reached her ears, Saltzpyre getting a cat, and said cat unknowingly accompanying Kruber on his detour quest.
the fact that they have helmets like kruber's made me think that sienna is raising the soldiers kruber had command over, who saved him then died to a necromancer---lots of new potential voicelines for the two of them, regardless
I wonder if this is a "test-bed" for Allied NPCs in a future Vermintide game. I know the main focus has been the Ubersreik five, but there are times where your supposedly entering areas where there's still allied resistance against the Skaven. Like that Fort mission that the Skaven are besieging, you can see gun-fire and rockets counter-firing against the Skaven. Would've been cool to see Empire soldiers still fighting. Show that not all is lost.
It will be interesting to hear Bardin's take on all this. On one hand, necromancy is very much a "kill on sight" tier grudgeable offense for Dwarfs most of the time due to their long war with Silver Peak and the tendency for necromancers to defile the Dwarfs ancestors, on the other hand in times like these the ghosts of ancient Dwarfs, known as Ancestor Spirits, sometimes arise to defend their living descendants. These skeletons that Sienna raises are VERY clearly Empire soldiers, so from that angle it could be seen as not much different from Ancestor Spirits arising to defend a Dwarf Hold.
to copy and past something soemone else said "Fun Warhammer Fact: Undead in Warhammer are varying degrees of Sentient, Skeletons tend to be be very sentient and remember a good a chunk of their lives, they're not quite as all there as Wights or Vampires, but they can understand speech and have important memories.

I had a thought. If brought to a logical point, since you are fighting the Skaven and such.. It could be brought up that Sienna is giving the souls of those killed in the raids and such, a chance to get back at the Skaven. That is just my thoughts on it.
@@magnusavidon982 True, but I bet the former holders of those bodies would feel it being an ironic twist that they get the chance to battle beyond the grave. Skaven are after all known to eat nearly anything I believe.
It's oddly cute how they are barely held together yet have a certain innocence with their jaw hanging off. Also that last bit with the bum rush is hilarious
i kinda wish there was like a talent to give them more armor or having some clothes like the Skeletons from Zombie army trilogy where you have 3 variants the first been bones alone the second been covered in tear sleeves or vests + boots and the last variant (my favourite) fully covered on medieval armor from the head to the foots that it can be destroyed by firepower making them slower at first but faster at the end like 15 %damage resistance -2 skeletons and they lose their armor the longer they stay on battle
*Saltzpyre tumbles around in the midst of a horde of friendly and enemy skeletons, all beating the crap out of each other and leaving him with no room to get up/stop being tossed* Saltz: "BY SIGMAR, CALL OFF YOUR UNDEAD BEASTS, WIZARD! PUT ME DOWN!" Sienna: "... not yet. I need to thin their ranks first." Saltz: "WITCH! YOU WILL FACE SIGMAR'S WRATH!" *gets knocked into the air by another clash of skeletons.*
"almost sentient" is always unnerving when it comes to undead thralls. idk how necromancy works in fantasy/aos but i sure hope it isn't agony for anyone kicking around in those bones
This may be the first time a game makes me interested in playing a minion necromancer. The idea of having minions never appealed to me. I much prefer to smack enemies myself. But this class looks so interesting and fun to play. The way you fight as usual but also combine that with minions and command them at the same time. Seems like the gameplay can have lots of layers when things get hectic. And the quality of these minions visually is impressive.
Finally we can see Kruber's mercenary band (or knight order) in action. Hopefully these boys have even a fraction of the force the great 'stached one has.
The way the skeletons work makes me hopeful for a similar ability in Darktide. I know at one point there was data suggesting Veteran might have an AI squad with them. Personally I think it would be a great ability for a Techpriest character, able to deploy a pack of servitors to aid the rejects (with talents that change the number and weapons of said servitors).
despite the obvious major increases on the third choice, I find way more success with barrow blades. im not sure why but they even survive for much longer, maybe because they aren't having prolonged fights with trash. And, with them igniting everything, Cursed Blood with Reaping on the scythe will delete entire patrols in one go, literally better than grenades. I see you personally use mace, I was using the scythe because.. well, its cool, but now im using it because I realize that its a hybrid of spear and (saltzpyre specific) greatsword. With Reaping, I can easily 3-4 tap chaos warriors from a relatively safe distance, and if I so happen to crit them with barrow blades, if ATLEAST 3 are ignited, they will all die. its so good, maybe not exactly reliable but damn getting that good ole x9 killfeed as sienna again makes me so happy
Would be great if one of your teammates dies, instead waiting for them to respawn and then try go to find them, you should have the power to resurrect them since you know your a Necromancer. Maybe for balancing purpose, the one who got resurrected can't be pick up when they are wounded instead will die immediately when his/her health bar reach zero and the team will have to wait till they respawn again and find them like normal.
Kruber:"Hey, Sienna, I've been missing few hats lately. Did your skeletons took them by accedent?" Sienna:"No, Kruber, no they don't took your hats. Maybe it was one of your fashion nemesis" Saltzpyre:
Well, Morion, Kettle and Bascinet helmets were pretty common, specially the first 2 are easier to manufacture, so if the SKelly bois are unfortunate foot soldiers it makes sence they would use them
I propose to name the one without lower jaw „Talker” and seeing him as the calmest one, declare him the unofficial leader of the Skelybros/Skeleton Squad, with other skeletons having to Guess what he wants to say by misinterpretating his hand gestures.

*THE CALCIUM CREW*
2:46 and screw that guy in particular!
The Bone Bois, The Skelly Lads,
Man i keep coming back to this just for the ravenswatch theme cuz it isn't anywhere else lol, a nice soundtrack!
Yep
Indeed
Of course they should be calledd the Bone Brigade
I fuking love how you can point at something and by the count of three, 6 undead just fukking *BLITZ* into frame and gank the thing you pointed at.
1:18 CMON THIS WAS MADE IN PURPOSE
MY BOY KRUBER IS GONNA HAVE TO DRINK FOR DAYS
I like to call them skellyboys
I am so excited for the dialogue
This may be the first time a game makes me interested in playing a minion necromancer. The idea of having minions never appealed to me. I much prefer to smack enemies myself.
But this class looks so interesting and fun to play. The way you fight as usual but also combine that with minions and command them at the same time. Seems like the gameplay can have lots of layers when things get hectic. And the quality of these minions visually is impressive.
The boys are back in town (and life) kruber will be happy to see them i am sure
Sienna: *Becomes a Necromancer*
Saltzpyre: HERESSSSYYYYYYYY !!!!
But then again..
Sienna: Breathes.
Saltzpyre: HERESSSSYYYYYYYY !!!!
Finally we can see Kruber's mercenary band (or knight order) in action. Hopefully these boys have even a fraction of the force the great 'stached one has.
A mod that just gives all the skeletons Kruber voices that say "I'm walkin' 'ere!"
I will name one of the jawless skeletons Sir Daniel, or Sir Dan. It's important to know our priorities.
The art design team did a fantastic job once again. And even the gameplay teams. Let's hope other departments won't fuck it up again.
Ayy got to beta test this yesterday! hope you're liking it as much as i did!
Enjoying the skeleton sunset
That ending was GOLD
I look forward to what the community does with these boney bois.
I think it's save to say that was a jawbreaking intro.
Sienna *points at slave*
Skellies: Dozer time
Spooky
Very grim, to have the fallens rest disturbed and fight alongside one like Markus
THE SKELETON APPEARS
cant wait for scary skeletons edits :)
The way the skeletons work makes me hopeful for a similar ability in Darktide. I know at one point there was data suggesting Veteran might have an AI squad with them. Personally I think it would be a great ability for a Techpriest character, able to deploy a pack of servitors to aid the rejects (with talents that change the number and weapons of said servitors).
despite the obvious major increases on the third choice, I find way more success with barrow blades. im not sure why but they even survive for much longer, maybe because they aren't having prolonged fights with trash. And, with them igniting everything, Cursed Blood with Reaping on the scythe will delete entire patrols in one go, literally better than grenades. I see you personally use mace, I was using the scythe because.. well, its cool, but now im using it because I realize that its a hybrid of spear and (saltzpyre specific) greatsword. With Reaping, I can easily 3-4 tap chaos warriors from a relatively safe distance, and if I so happen to crit them with barrow blades, if ATLEAST 3 are ignited, they will all die. its so good, maybe not exactly reliable but damn getting that good ole x9 killfeed as sienna again makes me so happy
-Kruber, you don't like me very much do you?
+I'd like you more if you stopped using my former comrades at arms remains
Thanks for this video.
Kevins. I'm calling them Kevins.
Would be great if one of your teammates dies, instead waiting for them to respawn and then try go to find them, you should have the power to resurrect them since you know your a Necromancer. Maybe for balancing purpose, the one who got resurrected can't be pick up when they are wounded instead will die immediately when his/her health bar reach zero and the team will have to wait till they respawn again and find them like normal.
love the calcium crew
My boy Jeremy bringing in da hammer
There's only one nickname befititng these lil guys.
_T H E B O Y S._
It would be cool if Kruber has new lines, in which he would ask Sienna if her skeletons stole one of his hats.
Kruber:"Hey, Sienna, I've been missing few hats lately. Did your skeletons took them by accedent?"
Sienna:"No, Kruber, no they don't took your hats. Maybe it was one of your fashion nemesis"
Saltzpyre:
0:44 Small typo bro, lv30* talents.
Great video!
Well, Morion, Kettle and Bascinet helmets were pretty common, specially the first 2 are easier to manufacture, so if the SKelly bois are unfortunate foot soldiers it makes sence they would use them
I hope one of the skellies gets named "Boney Butt" cuz that would be funny
Gonna be pretty rough having the auntie of the group be a villain in the eyes of the gang (they hate necromancers)
I propose to name the one without lower jaw „Talker” and seeing him as the calmest one, declare him the unofficial leader of the Skelybros/Skeleton Squad, with other skeletons having to Guess what he wants to say by misinterpretating his hand gestures.
Necromancery money gang
We love summoning skellies

I'm placing my bet that the Necromancer class is also a testbed for Darktide Commissar class
Kruber's Lost Battalion sounds nice to me
Now I need a mod where the charging bones use Foot Kruber's ult lines. Thanks.
Do they help you when Assassins or Hook-Rats get you?
From what I've heard, the skeletons become inert if you become disabled, so sadly, no.
@@Suiberis even if it was done for balance purposes thats extremely gay
But you can order the skeleton through walls and find the disables that way and possibly have theam atack it
Time to fight the horde with a horde of my own
Possible nicknames: Larry, Terry, Barry, Darryl and Jake.
1:55 no Jason & The Argonauts stop-motion? very sad day, but we will persevere
I wounder how Saltz feel seeing how he's lover rise sceletons of Empier soldiers, witch hunters, pesants... at least she dont need to hide with bon....
My personal favorite name for them is the Calcium Crew
A fellow mace enjoyer
Well we already have one resemble krubers helmet so we can call that skellyber and for saltzpyre it would skellypyre.
