The Machine Spirit class skill that allows players to hack machines faster is useless as it is lore-defying, since turrets need to be manually controlled and cannot be set to fire automatically. Choosing between two slightly different Heavy Assault Cannons and one very awesome Heavy Plasma Cannon, the Heavy Terminator’s job is to hold down the trigger and not let go until every enemy between him and his target is dead. The number one option for crowd control, the Heavy specialty honours its name by bringing only heavy weapons to the table. Capable of inflicting heavy damage and providing a slight but much needed degree of crowd control, the Librarian powers are a must have. Capable of wielding only a basic Storm Bolter and a Force Sword or Force Axe, what differentiates the Librarian from other classes is its offensive abilities. A team without a medic can still finish a mission, but it will take heavy casualties along the way and spend a lot of time looking at the respawn counter.īurn the heretic with fireballs, kill the mutant with your lightning, purge the unclean with your mighty bolter the Librarian is a powerful class, and my personal favorite.

The single most important unit in the game, Apothecaries are - perhaps foolishly - the only way to heal during a Space Hulk mission. Packing a specialised bolter called Redemption, the Apothecary can fire frag rounds into the swarms of xenos while keeping the squad alive. With all its class abilities focused on healing, the Apothecary can either heal a single team member, auto heal himself, or mass heal all allies within a radius.

The tactical specialty plays both an offensive and supportive role on missions, as its class powers focus on team support: while the Reinforcement ability brings fallen allies back into the fight faster, the Protector shields a targeted living ally from all incoming damage for 10 seconds.
