I think I found an image of the proto-Dude Wall saved on my PC.

>>546864816
They must be exceptionally good fighters because otherwise they would not be able to defeat space marines.
If all you need for a "regular person" to defeat a space marine is some training then that also makes space marines so weak that there would be no reason to ever waste the vast amount of resources and recruits required to create and maintain them in the first place.
It either makes sisters of silence examples of retarded mary sue writing like grey knights or it makes space marines examples of retarded writing for being such a waste of resources. Space marines cannot justify their existence if they are rivaled by entire units of completely mundane human equals.
>we kill hundreds of potential recruits who are themselves powerful warriors through training and body modification over the course of years to create one special dude and we give him super expensive special armor and weapons
>also he loses to some girl that knows how to use a sword
>why not cut out all the other bullshit and just teach the dude how to use a sword then?
>uhhhhhhhh

>>546865292
Nice. We've come a long way since the first Dude Wall.
I think I've got the other versions saved somewhere too.

>>546866223
I don't think it's ever been explicitly stated, but the SoS are implied to have had some gene forging done to them due to there being active sisters with ages well into the hundreds of centuries, beyond what typical life prolonging treatments can offer.
Plus, it's a little hard to properly kill something you can't really focus on, especially when that thing causes you to have a blinding migraine if you have even the barest hint of paychic power. Hell, during the siege there was one sister whose powers were so strong she was literally invisible to everyone that wasn't also a blank and Kharn killed her by accident and had a moment where he was completely confused as to why his kill counter went up.

>>546866223
I don't like it lore wise anymore than you. However, every single piece of lore exists as a vehicle for the protag faction took cool, or strong in order to sell models AND represents dice rolls on the TT where anything (in theory) goes.

Custodes has a good chance to wipe multiple squads of guard or cultists without taking casualties and in most cases will. Yet I have seen them get drowned in shots anyway and blasted by artillery out of their range.

I have seen Tau mech's that should wipe the table fail save rolls on a single incoming shot and 'blow up' on turn 2 without ever actually killing anything and auto losing the game for the Tau guy.

In fantasy, Skarbrand was killed and banished by a single unit of imperial halberd infantrymen due to shit rolls and it is literally now canon of WHFB's that he did. A greater daemon of khorne lost to some plucky veterans of a renaissance empire using sharp metal sticks on poles.

So depending on from whose perspective the lore is written and/or the shit tier knowledge of the writer - all kinds of stupid shit can and is published as lore. Warhammer lore exists to add flavour to TT and always has been.

>>546867145
The lore and the tabletop can never be directly connected because everyone's fates being tied to dicerolls means no named character ever survives more than a couple encounters, much less thousands of years of them. Nothing could ever be described as "hard to kill" or "durable" or "not armored exclusively with rice paper".
The setting itself literally does not function if tabletop is considered an accurate representation of it in any way.

>>546867727
It is and you are a nufag.
Every single game, every single outcome within them is canon. If the models ever had rules then there is an argument that it is lore accurate an ork boy killed Guilliman.

There is the 'canon lore' ie the general story the TT represents in the outset and then the result of *YOUR* game is canon, forever. What is published after is just that particular timeline GW decides the setting sticks too. GW has been explicit about this. They provide structure but ultimately the end result of conflicts are your own head canon unless otherwise stated outright.

Unfortunately tourists and nufags take advantage of this and extend the concept to the whole setting. Now can a SoS kill a SM? Maybe. Probably not. If one did that does not equate it being automatic next time. Just like a Tau cannot snipe the Lion - in theory. That doesn't mean female space marines are on the table. Just that weird outcomes of combat can and does occur. That is before the in world explanation of daemonic or xenos trickery etc.

I mean eldarfgas have been mad for 20+ years their Shards of Khaine are glorified punching bags, losing fights that should not be possible to lose.

Why did they bring out a horde mode then immediately abandon it?

this shit could have its only progression system and be awesome. Didnd even bother to add a leaderboard for highest rounds done.

>>546869008
Being capable of critical thinking doesn't make someone a newfag.
The setting doesn't function if tabletop is how the setting plays out, the tabletop regularly plays out so incredibly differently than the setting that it is in practice an alternate setting.
There is no named character that survives more than a couple battles if tabletop is accurate, that's just simple math. Kharn gets shanked by a gretchin with a rusty knife, every primarch gets sniped by some random goon in some random brawl before the emperor even finds them, the emperor himself gets domed by a nobody with a ghetto blaster at some point in the tens of thousands of years he's been alive before he does anything important.
The setting logically doesn't fucking work if everyone's canonically rolling dice, this is the case with every one of these settings attached to a tabletop game, everyone with a prefrontal cortex agrees that the tabletop game doesn't represent the setting because the game is full of abstractions and inaccuracies that it make it literally impossible to accurately represent the setting it's named after.

Thats why you sit on the ramp when theyre about to spawn. You can shoot them while theyre behind the door and theyll chain react detonate eachother and kill any gaunts as they spawn.

>>546970513
Tactical is almost mandatory due to auspex. There's an argument for Heavy and Bulwark, Assault is extremely situational, Sniper falls off on later waves

>>546971029
Pick Tactical then
Always pick Secure Supplies for free grenades
For wave 1-5 pick Plasma Incinerator, it's good enough to mog low tier Chaos and Tyranids
For the next wave adjust your sets, if you get Tyranids on the next map you switch to Stalker bolt rifle for Neuros/Zoans and stick to Plasma for Chaos
Pyreblaster is useless against Chaos, keep the full auto bolt carbine as your third main gun

If someone else is maining Tactical pick Heavy and the less ranged damage perk
Heroic heavy plasma, accuracy Heavy bolter and Heavy plasma

in hard siege mode picking assault, sniper and shield rush bulwark is throwing the game

>>546984089
I'm excited the axe will finally be usable, and the heroic chainsword's continuing to get worked on. More melee options for the most melee class are of course welcome.
Assault needs a perk rework though, not to mention bug fixes. A shield rush esque ability would've done shit loads to help eclipse those issues for now, but it's looking like it won't do that at all. In fact, it sounds like they're just giving assault a noob trap.
Presumably, they're gonna give every class an ability like shield rush and assault's new dash attack. They're all already in a better spot than assault, so once that happens, assault's probably gonna really start to eat the other class' dust.

>>547014514
Assault basically needs all three of his fucking signature perks reworked. The first one is kind of useful if need to reposition and shoot something down but they should at least give a firing rate increase for a duration.
Ascension has always been fucking trash and it's better at killing your teammates then enemies
Commitment would be good if Wings of Fire was built into it or just made fucking inherent to the class.

3 jump pack charges
jump pack dodges no longer costing a charge by default
GP gives some contested health back and every kill heals a bit and stacks with other team heal perks
1st row of perks are for Fencing/Balanced melee
2nd row of perks are for Block melee
3rd row of perks are buffs, upgrades and anti-Terminus stuff
Prestige perks focus on buffing specific weapons even further instead of just mild upgrades and buffs

all I want is for the jump pack to function like it did in Space Marine 1

I know cultists have a little drop-down from cliff animation when they're trying to approach you but do they have that big jump moving up the same cliff to shoot at you?
I'm trying to visualize the end of Inferno or something but with the strategem condition where it spawns Chaos instead. Tzaangors and Cultists don't have the same "pile on top of each other" animations that the hormagaunts have.

Give assault double tap gunstrikes, first gunstrike at +50% damage and the second consecutive one at +100% damage; single target only with one click
The other choice is being able to gunstrike 2-4 Majoris-Extremis enemies in a janky animation after a perfect parry
Instead of killing 7 enemies fast to replenish grenades give Assault a sticky grenades perk that lets Assault turn every grenade into kraks while hovering while also giving it 100% more equipment damage if thrown this way, this will allow the class to finally fuck up flying niggers
Adrenaline Rush AoE radius expands to 10m and does 200% more damage

>Give Assault a teamwide 15% Majoris heal per kill and watch Assault get included in every game moving forward
Drop it to 5% and make it a melee kill (executes count as melee kills for perk activation fortunately), and Saber might actually listen to you. Vanguard has a 5% heal that does the same thing, so it's entirely feasible

What if Assault could gain up to 2 more extra armor meter from kills?
Or if that non-lethal gunstrike gives 1 armor perk scaled with enemy type. Remember when it used to give all your armor back if you gunstriked a terminus enemy?

Wouldn’t this just lead to a lot of pub or assaults just turbo-boosting miles ahead of the team and abandoning everyone? I think I should just have a smaller, separate cooldown from the actual jump pack.

If they developed more of the successor chapters I would agree with you, but outside of a few good outliers like Lamentors or Raptors, the entirety of most of their backstories are like: “uuuuh they like heavy weapons, they have two more thunderhawks than average, and they fought on Planet Piss in the Peepeepoopoo Campaign.”

>>547032564
IMO it should refund the charge IF you hit an enemy with the dash attack, and in exchange it does more damage than shield rush.

if there's Alpharius Omegon then where is Omegarius Alphagon

>“uuuuh they like heavy weapons, they have two more thunderhawks than average, and they fought on Planet Piss in the Peepeepoopoo Campaign.”
Yes, and?

>>547033014
It NEEDS to be massively better than shield rush. For many reasons. I like shield rush because it's fun but it's so fucking strong, and safe, and versatile that there's nothing they could give to assault because of it.

>if you hit a flying enemy while ground pounding, that enemy gets knocked out and takes 150% ground pound damage, but all other targets of such a ground pound only take 75%

>>546951107
So, assuming that you're basically following the rules, space marine organization looks a little like this.

>Chapter
Your capital-T Team. Ultramarine, Space Wolf, whatever. There's a chapter master who runs the show and everyone else is under them. There ought to be about 1,000 marines total (emphasis on "ought to").

>Company
Chapters are divided into 10 companies of 100 marines each. These are pretty squishy and individual marines can be moved between them, but the general layout is: 1st company is comprised of veterans, 2nd-5th companies are your "standard" combat squads and have a mix of every playable class in Space Marine 2, and 6th-10th are more specialized. For the purposes of the game, it's probably easiest to assume that a class is in the 2nd-5th company, or 1st if you want to paint them as a veteran. Companies are led by a captain (in SM2 that was Acheran), assisted by 2 lieutenants. The main purpose of the lieutenants is to serve as leaders in case the company needs to be split up for whatever reason (e.g. if a deployment demanded half the company on one side of a star system and the other half on the other, one lieutenant would go with each).

>Squad
The ten companies are themselves subdivided into ten ten-man squads. If you do the math, 10-person squads times ten squads per company times ten companies per chapter comes out to exactly 1,000 marines. Hooray for codex compliance! For game purposes, this number can be whatever you want; the squads aren't anything special, just pick one. Squads are led by a sergeant.

>Battlefield role
An individual marine fills a battlefield role, which basically reflects their loadout. Close support, battleline, and fire support roughly approximate to "close range," "medium range," "long range", while the lieutenant and veteran roles denote seniority or leadership respectively (everybody in the 1st company is typically a veteran, while every company has lieutenants).

Cont. >>547042952
So with the basic structure out of the way:

>Chapter
The chapter's color scheme makes up the base color of the marine's armor, with the chapter badge being displayed on their left pauldron.

>Company
Pauldron trim (both of them). Again, you're probably looking at 2nd-5th company as standard, with 1st for veterans. Google "40k company colors" for a reference. If you're wondering why some chapters always seem to have the same pauldron trim (like how the Ultramarines always have gold), it's because Games Workshop tends to pick a "default" company for each chapter, just so that their artists and painters always know what color to make the pauldron trim. There's nothing stopping you from making an Ultramarine with green trim.

>Squad
Roman numeral on the left shoulder, superimposed over the...

>Battlefield role
Also left shoulder.

>BONUS: Ranks & Helms
Sergeants wear a red helm, regardless of the chapter color scheme. Veterans where a white one. A veteran sergeant wears a red helm with a white stripe, and a lieutenant wears a helm of the default chapter color, but with a red stripe trimmed in white along the top (this is actually its own helmet in the game, not a paint scheme). See pic related for reference.

Cont. >>547043184
>DOUBLE BONUS: Knee Pads
There's nothing in the codex about knee pads as far as I know. Each chapter kind of does their own thing (or doesn't). Ultramarines use the right kneepad as an additional spot to mark rank (see pic related), but that's just them. Kneepads are most commonly used as a kind of "overflow" when the real estate on the shoulders isn't available. Dark Angels, for instance, like to keep their pauldron trim green, so they display their company on the right kneepad. Flesh Tearers are even more complicated: they don't use pauldron trim, so they moved their company markings to a color-coded blood drop over their battlefield role icon. But that's where the squad number usually goes, so they moved that to the kneepad.

As a rule of thumb, if any part of a space marine's heraldry would be obscured, you generally just move it to the next most-important spot. Like, if you have a pauldron that obscures the chapter symbol on the left pauldron, you'd move the chapter symbol to the right pauldron instead (see: Deathwatch). Then you'd move the battlefield role marking to the kneepad.

>TRIPLE ULTRA BONUS: Bling
Bling is literally whatever you want. Generally the more important you are the fancier your armor gets, but there's nothing saying you might have inherited or been bequeathed some kickass relic armor due to some quirk in your recruitment or from a particular campaign. Plenty of the sets in-game put the art for actual literal chapter masters to shame, but hey, it's there isn't it?

Xenophase Blade or Honourific Relic?

Hey I'm happy to hear it Anon, it was an excuse to catch myself up too. To answer your actual questions (and I'm sure another Anon will correct me if I've got this wrong):

>Knee pads
Yep, that's how it works as far as I know. FYI, when it comes to how weird other chapters get, some of them can get very weird. Pic related is the Blood Angels setup, which:

>Ignores shoulder trim
>Because of this, they move their company to their shoulder, and to make it even weirder they don't use the codex company colors. Instead, they use a blood-drop iconography unique to them.
>Since the shoulder's being taken up with the company icon, they move their squad number to their kneepad. Again, they make things more difficult by using colors and symbols instead of squad numbers. "Oh, what squad are you in?" "You know, black-lightning-bolt-on-a-yellow-field (8th squad)."
>But what about the battlefield role symbol? Don't worry, they color-code their *helmets* for that.
>But if they're using helmets for their battlefield role, what do they do for sergeants/lieutenants? Oh they change the background color of their pauldrons for that, of course.

Blood Angels are an extreme example, since they're an OG chapter with a ton of lore so they can get away with being weird like that. If you're ever curious about a specific chapter, googling "<CHAPTER NAME> heraldry" basically always brings up pictures like these. Most chapters are much closer to the Ultramarines that I used in my first example. If you're ever in a situation where it's not clear what a chapter does, you can safely assume that it's whatever the Ultramarines do. They (literally) wrote the book on it--they're Default Marines.

>Bling
Pretty much. There's no rules here other than "if you're a named character or important to the setting, you're probably covered in several hundred pounds of gold." Otherwise, anything goes. *Most* nameless background marines wear the default kit, but you're not a nameless background marine.

All I have left to grind are bulwark and heavy, my least favorite classes for pvp. Don't love their chaos skins either, so I honestly might just skip them. Bulwark death guard won't really go with anything anyway once we can kitbash chaos armor, it's the only one covered in green slime.

What's wrong with the world eater arms? The fact the naked one's model's like incomplete at the shoulder under what's left of the pauldron?
I think they'd have to remodel the breast plate too, so it's showing where his arm connects with his torso, which might not be possible. They probably never intended for any of the cosmetic armor pieces to be armorless when they designed how our space marine models work.
They might not even let us move the left sided world eater pauldron and "gauntlet" at all cause of how they could show unpolished sections of armor you weren't meant to see.

It's alright if you play assault. Only way to make the melee combat be viable in pvp, since guns are so much better if you're jump packless. You can actually close distances like you need to, and gtfo fast like you also need to be able to do to make pvp melee viable.
Your jump pack's also waaaaay less cucked than in ops. It has 1 extra charge, charges at a reasonable rate, you can hover and shoot while in the air, and you can jump like 3x higher.
A really good assault is fucking insane.
You can't escape them. You could die at any moment you're not in an underground tunnel.
I've seen assaults get 25+ kills by the ends of matches.

If I'm using a gun that isn't the stalker it feels like shit, if I'm using a melee weapon that isn't the power fist it feels like shit, I fucking hate the abysmal balance of this game man.

>>547072475
You’re hard-stuck on Ruthless because you can’t stand adversity and challenge. You like baby-blanket power fantasies that give you the only taste of success you’ve experienced in your life. You attack others who are better than you because you can’t cope with that fact. Stay out of my Absolutes.

That was/is such a pointless cat and mouse game. Considering how much bullshit Saber and the game director have been selling since last year.
There's time to keep the cards close to the chest and there are moment when it's better to give a sneak peek of what you're working on. What a retarded approach, but really it's exacerbated by Grigorenko and his sub-zero IQ takes.

>>547085982

>>547086868

Nothing has as much single target DPS as a magdumping carbine. There's some shit that gets close, and can do better by having AoE, but bolt carbine is ezpz point and squeezy oops a warrior is dead

>>547090041
to clarify, are you talking about the bolt smg variant for vanguard specifically? because yes you can grapple to a warrior, and unload into their skulls point blank and THAT for sure has the highest DPS for a bolt weapon. Even more so if you put on the prestige perk that makes you do more damage at less than 15 meters. The marksmen carbine variant is good but not that good.

>>547090990
The tactical gets it, too. It's fucking OP.

Tactical, Sniper, and Vanguard have access to it. Take auspex parry on Tactical and mag dump into the head, and suddenly you've got like 450% extra damage due to the enemy being scanned, the debuff from being parried, the 50% extra damage tacked on the Carbine because you're close to the enemy, and the headshot multiplier. Sniper can get infinite cloak and a grenade recharge separate from the Tactical perk if you build it properly

>>547090990
half the roster gets the regular bolt carbine
and yes, generally the base SMG mode is what people are talking about but the marksman bolt carbine is also very strong, probably stronger than the occulus and instigator if not for having to spam click.

Honestly
I think the power fantasy is garbage in this game, or the balance is just extremely bad. I hate how sponge everything gets in Tier 4 - Tier 5 even with maxed out weaponry, and I think the bigger problem is the underwelming weapon damage.
I have not touched the neo-volkite pistol since it dropped because my first impressions were "Wow this shit doesn't have strong quick-burst" which is neccessary for anything above Average difficulty.
Adding the heavy bolt rifle to the heavy class was stupid when the heavy bolter exists, it was just a pointless addition. And then there was the pyrecannon which I liked but admittely its the worst primary in the game.
The pyrecannon has shit damage and you cant see anything ahead of you when you spray flames which they thought was a good idea in a game where blocking and parrying timed attacks is a vital mechanic.
And then there's the other problem with Bulwark and Sniper being the best classes in the game because one can cloak + has high burst damage and the other had a shield + the best class ability in the game.
I dont want people to breeze through the game but I think its stupid as fuck to have all this gear but ultimately most of its useless when everyone cherrypicks what makes the higher difficult easier. Hopefully if there's any balance updates in the future that they dont go full retard and nerf the bearable equipment and gear before looking at why no ones going to use that god awful inferno pistol.

>>547094412
I don't mean to be a total cunt, but you are clearly a shitcunt.
>Inferno Pistol
Literally 1 of 2 best sidearms for Assault
>Pyrecannon
Again with the right setup its absolutely top tier.
>Heavy Bolt Rifle
Who cares its literally a pointless 'GW mandated' addition.
>Sniper being in the same conversation as Tac or Vanguard for being strongest...

Only thing you are objectively correct on is most of the weapons being weak. Bolters being effectively 5.56 M4's is extremely shit. The problem is, from a gameplay position, There is not enough enemies and they are not threatening enough to justify common weapons being 'lore' strength. It is a game and dev limitation.

People pointed this out before launch and got over it a long time ago.

>>547095806
The least they can do is make bolt weapons cause hitstun on consecutive headshots. Shit like the plasma incinerator and meltagun will stunlock enemies to death with not even a quarter of the effort.

If you want an in lore explanation, the setting is so far in the future that skin tones shifted a lot, as well as Ultramar being a subsector, hence the "muh 500 worlds". If you want an out of setting explanation, GW is listening to modern market trends and decided that the 80s white nerd culture is not what they're going for anymore. I'd rather have a well written character that doesn't look like me over a horribly written character that looks like me personally

>>547124153
I salute you, I could never bother leveling above level 9 on PvP or have the patience to keep restarting wave 5-10 normal for weapon colours

>>547124717
Yeah PVP was a massive waste of dev time. I really hope they don't bother with it in SM3 to use their time better elsewhere.

>>547125036
PVP never had the 2x XP boost like Operations had, even then 2x XP is useless in higher levels I assume since you can go to level 40+ now

Fuck that level of grind

It is such a tragedy that such Beautiful armor is forever locked behind a lame cash in, check off the list afterthought of a mode.
Because Saber and GW are so Bi-polar, self-contradicting, double standard having spergs that cry "we can't have chaos armor thats lore breaking!" while we play as Death Company Blood Angels & Space Wolves yelling "We march for Macragge!". with Chaos Death guard heraldry and symbols and paintjobs already

>>547042952
>while every company has lieutenants
There are 2 lietenants. You probably mean captains. Each company has a captain and each squad has a sargeant. Captains are usually also veterans, sargeants sometimes are, but not always.

>>547043184
>Roman numeral on the left shoulder
That's only true if you mean your (the player's) left shoulder, when you are looking at your marine on the screen. It's that marine's right shoulder.

>>547097065
Just point your crosshair/mouse cursor on it.

>80s white nerd culture is not what they're going for anymore
The 70s white nerd culture was better anyways. I remember Eldar with glam rock hair.

Decimus, Metaurus, Chairon are all Celestial Lions and Salamanders

Wait, but Badab's surface was essentially destroyed by Carcharodons when they sabotaged its underground reactors.

>>547136547
That's a blurb from Rogue Trader days, the name got shifted to an Eldar that's working with Guilliman. I'm surprised you take more offense to Badab being destroyed and not the fact that he worked with the Administratum, Dark Angels, AND Ultramarines, despite not actually being elevated to Space Marine

>>547137174
I do realize that back in those days there were plenty of special snowflakes around, but being special has its limits, and being massacred in a total planetary populace obliteration is one of those limits.

>>547136517
>Gadriel is from the White Scars
Include Valius in there. I'd say Straban too but he acts like a robot.

Light attacks feel too weak, they need to buff light attacks across the board. Mostly doing charged attacks doesn't feel that great

>>547140641
One really has to ask what the point of light attacks are in the developers' minds. The way they're set up currently they're almost universally just a tax to get to the good (heavy) attacks.

Spamming lights as Bulwark with a power sword is enough to clear gaunt hordes, and it also stunlocks most enemies. I also use light spams as assault to kill gaunts and line up heavies on warriors

Even without the double shot bug, multimelta is still heavy's best weapon.

>>547146735
>Spamming lights as Bulwark with a power sword is enough to clear gaunt hordes
If I'm not mistaken that's the only light attack in the game worth anything on its own, hence "almost universally".

Block power fist is so fucking slow, holy shit. Yeah OK, it theoretically lets me literally cast fist when I punch with it after perfect blocking twice, but in practice I don't have enough time to actually swing.

>>547150761
skill issue

I'll go down to some random bullshit combo one time and the rest of the mission nothing happens, I hate it.

>>547133526
Saber are hypocrites, and the normie 40k fans are beyond retarded, they're insane. They don't even want pre MK10 armor in the game.
They've already lost the lore accurate battle.

3 marines are parrying vortex beasts at this point.
Bolters aren't bolters.
Power fist doesn't work like it's supposed to.
Meltas don't work like they're supposed to.
A gravis marine wielding heavy weapons moves at the same speed as phobos marines wielding SMGs and knives.

They should've let us use chaos armor when they decided to let us use their heraldry. End of story.

Power Mode light swings knock gaunts away so it's an easy way to get gunstrike + armor

>>547157656
And even then, the full throttle skip into shoulder bash is still better.

>>547157486
Melta bombs are not guaranteed and the animation for dropping them locks you out of dodging or parrying or using your ability.

Are they buffing the fire of Multimelta to compensate for its stance bug being fux?
Please say yes.

>>547158452
Power Whirl is my favorite attack in the game.
Kills minoris like it's nothing and deals heavy damage to everything else.

I saw a tactical using a knife and I was very confused

>>547160985
It's been the default melee weapon of tactical marines for decades.

We almost there niggas. Just a week to go.

Was getting faceraped like that on Heavy while leveling shit up. Balance aside, this just gangraping you is annoying.

I think Heavy is my favorite class. Straban is a bro and I enjoy being the best at laying waste to hordes of shit all at once.
I strongly dislike how mediocre the bolter guns are though.

Wild, as soon as he started rollslopping I figured it was over

>>547175423
He had a sliver of health yet and bot Valius got gangbanged but respawned just to revive him. Then he killed it soon after then I just left.

I beat this a few days ago as a Stalker Tactical, I had the oneshot Extremis auspex perk and only used the auspex whenever dogshit is around and needed to fuck off or there's a Terminus around (got 2 Neuros).

They didn't retune this Lictor as it can come back almost immediately even if "killed".

I don't play on anything higher than avarage and I'm 10000% unapologetic.

I'm in for the power fantasy and to sfeel like a space marine, not to stress out due to lag mis-timing my parries.

>>547202698
Absolute is the most realistic depiction of being a space marine though
Your average Marine struggles in a 1v1 with a Tyranid Warrior, and most would get absolutely raped versus a Lictor

>>547203124
Right, but the scaling is still off. Astartes weapons aren't whiffle bats against Nids. A space marine would be 1:1 equivalent to a warrior in damage output, we're the Imperium's Majoris-tier foe.

>>547202698
Substantial is probably the more realistic experience than Average.
The power fantasy argument is a bit of a misnomer. You surviving at all is the power fantasy. The Tyranids are winning the war.

Literally why dont they add more chaos space marine armor? we already have heretical astartes. I dont care if it would be weird if my space marine looked like thousand sons

>>547206959
You're loyalists helping the loyalist cause. Also it would harm class readability. Also GW said no. Also small company please understand.

>>547206959
There's no reasonable explanation for CSM armors not being available in PvE (we have chaos heraldrly already) other than the fact Saber would almost certainly fuck something up if they had added them into the general customization pool.

They might aswell full send it and add chaos space marine armor, make the outlines better and in pvp its not even a big deal.

First one is what Saber has genuinely said. Second one is what people online have tried to argue. Third one is a mix of Saber and people online have argued. Considering the Salamanders champion was put on Sniper for no reason other than "It has a cloak", you really shouldn't expect them to give a shit
