00:00Do you know what makes Warhammer 40k so special?
00:02It's not just the Space Marines.
00:04No, it's the setting sense of mystery.
00:07Even after burying my head in hundreds of Black Library novels, there's still plenty
00:10I've yet to learn about its vast and enigmatic universe, and even more I've simply forgotten.
00:15Did you know that basically no one's ever seen a naked Skatari before?
00:18It was a mystery Fat Shark needed to solve when designing its new class for Darktide.
00:22There wasn't really an established visual reference for what a Skatari looks like underneath
00:26the robes and armour, says Lukas Åström, Darktide's associate art director.
00:30While the pallid, barely human cadaver that hangs before you in character creation is a somewhat
00:34harrowing claim to fame for the studio, it's still new lore, the curtain of a mysterious
00:38setting being drawn back, however slightly.
00:41You can also pick which bits you want your cyborg warrior made out of, and program your
00:45very own Skatari voice.

00:59right?
00:59Right?
