We finally have our first look at Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s new class, the Techmarine, as well as an image of its Omnissian Axe.

Publisher Focus Entertainment released one screenshot of the Omnissian Axe, below, as well as an image showing off the Techmarine model from multiple angles.

The Techmarine is set to hit Saber Interactive’s explosive third-person action game as part of Patch 12 early next year. Its Omnissian Axe is a new melee weapon — a halberd-style weapon that comes with its own set of unique animations, finishers and progression, Focus confirmed in a

.

Meanwhile, the Techmarine has a Servo-Gun ability. Activating it will enable the gun to automatically engage enemies. The new class also has a passive ability to restore Tarantula Sentry Guns that can spawn on existing PvE levels. It all sounds pretty powerful.

As has become Space Marine 2 tradition, Focus popped fun little Easter eggs in the PNG file names for the Techmarine and its Omnissian Axe. The Omnissian Axe PNG is called ‘toothpick,’ and, brilliantly, the Techmarine PNG is called ‘01100110_01101001_01101110_01100101_00100000_01110011_01101000_01111001_01110100.’

that this binary sequence actually translates to a phrase: "fine shyt."

• 01100110 = f
• 01101001 = i
• 01101110 = n
• 01100101 = e
• 00100000 = (space)
• 01110011 = s
• 01101000 = h
• 01111001 = y
• 01110100 = t

If you’re not into Warhammer 40,000, that might be a tad confusing, but it will make most fans of the grimdark setting smirk. For the uninitiated, a Techmarine is a Space Marine engineer-type class who's a big fan of the Cult Mechanicus as well as their Chapter. They’re big on technology and specialize in soothing the machine spirits of wounded war engines, such as tanks and Dreadnoughts. All those bits and bobs coming out the Techmarine’s back are its servo-arm, mechadendrite, and a shoulder-mounted forge bolter.

Focus wouldn’t say which Traitor Legion the Chaos Techmarine will be associated with in PvP. Expect more on that soon.

In August,
