I will say I am pleased with the Iron Hands cosmetics.

>Some of them will require you to complete an Operation a hundred times, or slaying three Majoris or higher enemies with a single headshot on Absolute difficulty for instance.

wow cool play something 100 times
i bet it's not retroactive either

Brothers, you showed up! I thought this was the end :(

They should release new paint patterns. I want to be able to color just the breastplate and keep codpiece and belt as base color.

>>565346849
You will run vortex 100 to get chainmail loincloth for assault and you will like it.

>>565346849
How do you exactly do this?

Have 3 Majoris try to spawn a horde and you're equipped with the heroic heavy bolt pistol?

>heroic Block power axe
Suddenly Fencinggers and Balanchuds get the rope kek

It is, unless they've nerfed the damage they'll be the go-to melee weapons for most classes

>>565359095
Seriously. All the cool Chapters and they give it to the lamest pieces of shit. I fucking hate the Salamanders if for no other reason than them being normal faggot bait. Here my dumb ass thought it'd be something iconic like the Iron Snakes.

>>565367919
they're probably locked in for "year 3"
it'd be hilarious if they still never make it

>>565359095
Surely they get it right this time

>>565356964
Stack headshot bonuses on sniper and use heroic bolt sniper i guess (why not las too).

if hard mode stratagems count, then it might be actually fairly easy to get, with the right modifiers, like only majoris spawns and ranged damage buffs etc

Are the inferno and volkite pistol worth using on hard strats? Pretty sure they just tickle majoris and up.

>>565375138
Inferno yes especially in heavy Minoris modifiers, Meltas stunlock enemies it can't kill
NV is trash and will even be more trash with the SMG pistol incoming

The Exorcists need one so bad. You can't make a good one with the base stuff. You need the rune inscriptions on the armor, maybe some bone accents, definitely need more prayer seals/scrolls and trinkets.

How do we feel boys about the legs there's a small part of me that is worried saber will be really stupid and make all the legs only be one sided

These threads are pointless. Stay in /coopg/. There isn't enough posting to keep these generals going.

>>565386390

No

>>565386329
I like the 2 on the right, not so much of an autist I can tell or really care about what the leftmost one has going on. I hate the lack of proper Aquilla chest pieces. The winged skull is kind of lame. Also, Chapters tend to replace it with their own iconography like a blood drop, a snake, a cog, etc, but those are few and far between. If I can get my money right, I'll probably buy the Ultramarines pack for purple so I can make loyalist Emperor's Children to go along with the 2 legs I pointed out.

>>565386516
See you back there in a week.

>>565352959
They shouldn't have to release paint. SM1 had everything for free.

>>565346849
And whats great is they're going to tie cosmetics into it as well, so its not optional. Just going to cheat this in they can get fucked for thinking such giant grinds are fun.

>>565386795
Bro, kiddies don't know how good shit used to be. I remember grinding for armor in Halo Reach by playing the game or getting costumes in God of War by, get this, PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME, instead of paying an extra $20 for a preorder bonus.

Aside from the datamine and Iron Lords shown in the update do we know what the IH Successor pack will include? Begging we get Knights of Byzantium

Termination still the best/fastest way to level up? Not sure if siege is better

>>565399525
It's probably Decap. The only sticking point is the bomb planting section and if you're good with horde clearing, you can have the bridge knocked out in under 30 seconds.

The only reason you'd go out of your way to play Siege is if you're grinding Green/Purple armory data or weapon colors. Former is really easy to get if you just play Operations normally, and the latter I never see used unless the person is trying to be lore accurate

>>565399525
Decapitation is still kang, Termination has 2 Terminus spawns
You can go Absolute Decap with just fighting the Hive Tyrant and you're only slowed down with the bomb segment

What do we think about the new announcements?

>>565418836
Only really interested in the cosmetic updates personally, even if I've been slowly trimming back on accessories on the classes

>>565418836
Glad for the Iron Hands cosmetics, my hatred of the Salamanders reached new heights I didn't think possible, fuck Chaos, fuck these new grind ideas they have (clear an operation 100 times, are we deadass???), Bolt Carbine as a secondary is great, fuck Chaos.

I think the vanguard and tech marine should have access to the pyreblaster.

>>565416750
They even showcase it on substantial lmao

I was gonna have a shit fit because you can see this guy in the trailer using a combi pyreblaster, but according to the table top, vanguard can't take it into combat. I will note however that they can take storm shields, but that's relegated to Bulwark. Saber picks and chooses what they want within certain bounds. GW having a say has always been known, but they play it up to cover their asses on things either because they're too lazy or just don't give a fuck about things outside of their vision.

>>565421312
Tactical should get the power sword and power axe.

Assault and bulwark should get the knife. Especially if they're gonna do shit like let BW delete his shield (and shield rush) to wield the hammer.

Vanguard should get the power sword.

Sniper should get the chainsword.

Heavy should get the knife. Especially if you pick the HBR.

And Techmarine should get the chainsword, stalker, carbine, and instigator.

Also they should make heavy primary weapons random pick ups you can't refill the ammo of, like they are in the campaign with Titus, Yoshihiro Takayama, and Nigger Joe.

>>565421419
The difficulty doesn't matter, with a proper training arena there is no reason not to use Block and Balanced.

Saber effectively killed Fencing forever.

The only option missing is simulating medium/high ping, I wished they added a slider that can add up to 1-300~ ping to simulate actual PvE conditions.

Later in the year they should add a VS Bot mode where you can fight either in a FFA Deathmatch, CtF, Seize Ground, Helbrute mode or a traditional 12v12 Annihilation complete with PvP stats and modifiers. Bot designs are copied from PvE and PvP players you've encountered throughout the game.

I like it.
In b4 the new salamander skin is for the assault class

>>565450271
It’s definitely going to be for Heavy.

>>565421312
>>565441694
>Tactical
Gets the combat knife, power axe, power sword and Thunderhammer
Gets all the pistols
Gets the missile launcher
>Assault
Gets assault bolters, plasma exterminators and accelerator autocannons making it a semi-flying ranged unit
Gets a 1H Thunderhammer, lightning claws
Gets a 2H power sword and Eviscerator
Ability to dual wield 1H melee weapons except for the Power Fist (same or different weapon) or equip with a small Storm shield
>Bulwark
Gets the normal bolter, HBR, ABR which it can fire while the shield is up
Gets the power spear which it can use with the Storm shield
Gets 2H power sword, single lightning claw and Eviscerator
>Vanguard
Gets the Pyreblaster, normal bolter, ABR and Stalker bolter
Gets the Astartes shotgun
Gets all the pistols
Gets a single lightning claw
>Sniper
Gets renamed as Scout Marine but its still Scipius
Gets the chainsword, power axe, power sword, single lightning claw
Gets all the pistols
Gets the normal bolter, ABR, HBR, Plasma incinerator, Pyreblaster, heavy bolter, missile launcher, Astartes shotgun
>Heavy
Gets the gravcannon, missile launcher
Gets the option of double Boltstorm or Flame gauntlets, forgoing ranged combat
>Techmarine
Gets the chainsword, Thunderhammer
Gets the bolt carbine, Pyreblaster
Gets the carbine SMG
Has the option to use the default heavy bolter Tarantula turrets or switch it to a missile launcher turret, heavy flamer turret, Multimelta, assault cannons, lascannons or plasma turret but once changed it'll stay as is permanently until destroyed; basically interacting with a turret for the first time spawns a small popup menu with hotkeys similar to gestures

holy ded

does laser pointing the hive tyrant really do damage?

You really gotta stop posting this general and accept that it's dead. Maybe you can try again when the update actually drops.

The extra cleave is not at all worth the dogshit parry frames that can and will fuck you over sooner or later. Even on Techmarine I'll use block weapons because of how unreliable balanced is the moment more than three warriors are on the screen.

>>565517463
balanced can be pretty kino. but you do have to play differently, you need to actually roll away and take god engagements instead of doing what ever you want in the middle of 4 bonesword warriors. balanced is worth it on assault though since his jet pack offsets it
