** All three Veteran personalities like the Ogryns, and the feeling is clearly mutual. The Professional Veteran may even respond with a tone of genuine hurt if the Bully Ogryn accuses the other Rejects of thinking he's stupid. What with the Professional being a ByTheBookCop, it says a lot that they disagree so strongly with the Astra Militarum's standards of treating Ogryn as even more basic and disposable than "actual humans". None of the Vets agree with the assertion that Ogryn don't have souls; the closest any of them get is the Pro Veteran saying that it'd be awfully sad if they didn't, while the Cutthroat and Loner will both vehemently deny the suggestion. One bonding conversation between the Brawler Ogryn and the Cutthroat Veteran has the Cutthroat - unconvincingly - insist that they don't ''like'' the Ogryn, but respect their combat prowess and loyalty. The Brawler replies that he likes the Cutthroat anyways.
** Zealots are contractually obliged to dislike Ogryn due to the teachings of the Imperial Cult, are often bad at showing it. The Judge may offer to help the Ogryn pray to the Emperor; the Fanatic never expresses any particular hatred of the big guys at all. The Judge and Fanatic even go so far as to say that the Emperor might well grant souls to abhumans upon death, even if they're not born with them. Even the bigoted Agitator often comes off like they're trying and failing to dislike them, even though it's clear their heart isn't in it. One bonding conversation even has the Agitator (reluctantly) offer to teach the Bodyguard to read.

** Psykers are no strangers to the Imperium's inherent xenophobia and hatred of anything different, and so even the Loner tones down their vitriolic attitude when addressing them. The Seer especially stands out. They are exceptionally fond of the Ogryn, referring to them as ''sweet'' Brutes, and share an OddFriendship with the Bodyguard Ogryn. The Bodyguard and Bully Ogryns are also two of the only personalities in the game who can have amicable conversations with the [[TokenEvilTeammate Loner]].
* Several personalities have OddFriendships with other Rejects.
** The Savant Psyker and Cutthroat Veteran have a buddy-cop dynamic that gives you the bad feeling one of them isn't going to survive to the end of the movie. This doesn't make their camraderie and shared sense of duty any less touching; the Cutthroat may even ask the Savant to give them a MercyKill if the squad is about to be overrun, showing a level of trust and vulnerability they never express to anyone else.
** The Judge Zealot is the only one who the Bully Ogryn seems willing to be civil with. One conversation has them discuss the hardships of growing up under a regime like the Imperium of Man, while another has the Bully Ogryn admit he doesn't pray to the Emperor because he "can't find the words" - something the Judge offers to help with.
** The Bodyguard Ogryn openly admits he likes the Seer Psyker the best out of any of the other Rejects; this is saying a lot, since he's already very chummy for the most part. The Seer Psyker also seems to like the Cutthroat Veteran, making several attempts to get them to open up about their trauma over the fall of Cadia and telling them that the Emperor says it wasn't their fault. The Cutthroat is uncharacteristically soft in responding, merely saying that they wish they could believe the Seer.

* The Professional's dialogue during the start of the tutorial level. Despite having been branded a criminal/traitor/heretic and on their way to likely execution (for no good reason), the first thing they say as they pick up a discarded weapon: "Convict or not, I still have a duty to the Imperium.". And go right back to killing the actual heretics as if they were still in the Imperial Guard.

* The dynamic between Ogryns and their smaller teammates provides a rare flash of humanity in the otherwise stiflingly-bleak CrapsackWorld that is the ''TableTopGame/Warhammer40000'' setting.

** The Bodyguard Ogryn usually lives up to his moniker by being very protective of his teammates regardless of their background. In a mixed group, a Bodyguard may even comment on how he has come to view his allies as some sort of family. A messy, rowdy, and probably insane bunch who use big words that make his head spin, but family nonetheless.

*** The two of them seem to constantly be looking out for each other in combat, with the Cut Throat offering to teach the Savant how to more properly use their weapons. When talking to a Savant who's struggling to quell their Peril, the Cut Throat actually sound considerate of their wellbeing, and indirectly imply that they need to look out for each other more instead of praying to some nebulous deity, as the Emperor's grace can be fickle.

Added DiffLines:

* The Cut Throat Veteran of all people do have moments like this.
** They genuinely respect and sympathize with Zola's plight to save her homeworld, given what happened to Cadia.
** They also firmly believe that Abhumans have souls. Or rather, they never doubted that they had souls in the first place, contrary to what the Imperial faith might be preaching.
** A Cut Throat reviving another can have them encouraging the other to keep fighting and the pain will pass. While they do not respond when their ally ask if the pain will pass because they will survive to fight another day, they also don't coldly shoot it down like they do to similar such sentiments on a regular basis either.
** Their relationship with the Savant Psyker is oddly wholesome in its own way.
*** Due to their similar devotions to their duty and discipline, they tend to reach common ground with each other more often than most, with them frequently comparing philosophies in party dialogue, and disagreements are usually respectful instead of being met with threats of violence.

*** As the cherry on top, one possible talking point can have the Cut Throat asking the Savant to give them a MercyKill when it's their time to kick the bucket, with the latter initially doubting their intent before being assured by the former that they only made the offer because they trusted them. Given how bitter and cynical a Cut Throat normally is, it says a lot of how highly they regard the Savant compared to literally everyone else.

* The camaraderie between Ogryns is a rare sight of wholesomeness in the grim darkness of the setting. Whereas the other classes bicker and snark at each other constantly, Orgyns for the most part treat one another like best buddies, affectionately referring to each other as "pals" and revel in their bloody rampages with absolute glee like a bunch of oversized toddlers as they rip the heretics a new one. Even the brutish Bully tends to be more chummy towards his fellow Ogryns than he does other classes.

** Additionally they are genuine in their belief of the Emperor's love, going as far as to claim that even if they believe that abhumans might not be born with souls, that the Emperor is more than capable of granting ones to them. The Judge is also more tolerant and uplifting at times, genuinely believing in the Imperial Cult as a way to improve Humanity's lot rather than necessarily using it to oppress, murder, and abuse.

** Professionals can, like Fanatic Preachers, also be more open-minded than most; they're fine with trading with peaceful xenos and other nonhumans so long as care is taken to avoid picking up language and customs, which is a degree of tolerance that would be considered downright heretical by Agitator Preachers and the like. They can also comment that it'd be pretty sad if abhumans didn't have souls, given how faithful and devoted to the Emperor some of them can be - Ogryn especially.

* Psykers of all types will refer to one another as siblings, and commiserate with their shared troubles with the warp. Savant Psykers tend to be the most kind and optimistic with a genuine believe in Justice and Truth - although given the others are either traumatized Loners or screw-loose Seers, it's a bit of a low bar.

Yes, believe it or not, there are one or two of these. Even in a setting as bleak as Warhammer 50K, there are little moments of party banter that hint at this.

* The Professional and the Brawler have friendly banter, as they both come from military backgrounds. The Brawler will gleefully follow the orders of the Professional, and the Pro will always come to the defense of Ogryn if the other party members are dismissive of them. When a Brawler is downed the Pro will call out in dismay, and offer condolences and reassurances during rescue. There is also an extended dialogue where they express their satisfaction in working together, and the Brawler offers to share his rations with his small friend.
