Space Marines spend like 20h+ per day training and at age of 20 have like 15years of army experience and they start with 4 strength and 5 in the rest of their attributes.

So how does a mere mortal achive their species max attribute which is 8 across the board?

Decades of Training? Performance-Enhancing Drugs? Genetic modifications?

Like no natural talent beats geneseed+sm implants for gains by a longshot, But a mere mortal can have 8 strength or toughness while space marine starts with 4 and 5 in those?

So how?

Hi to all!

Truth to be told, this question is not for me but for one of my players.

We began playing at Tier 2, when this player chose an Ogryn Warrior. Then at Tier 3, this Ogryn evolved to a Bullgryn. Now they arrived to Tier 4 (and near the end of the campaign although they don't know yet) and this player doesn't know what to do.

Although I played WH40K many years ago (in first-second edition) I am not an expert but I would say that no Tier 4 archetype can fit with an Ogryn. So I think the solution is an Ascension Package... This player doesn't like these Ascension Packages (he says they are XP expensive to give poor advantages, and I think in some cases is true) but I think packages are the only solution: he can take Back from the Brink (40 XP) or a cheaper Perfidious Wretch (only 20 XP). I have checked Redacted Records II and I think they don't fit well with an Ogryn or are too expensive.

Of course, he can stay at Tier 3 but I think he doesn't want to do this.

Could you give me other advice? I have checked Abundance of Apocrypha and I have not seen high Tier archetypes for Astra Militarum. Maybe I have passed an archetype that can fin with an Ogryn. I think the best and cheapest solution is Perfidious Wretch but maybe I have missed something.

Thanks in advance!
