So the Twitch drop armour of Sergeant Metaurus from the 40k episode of Secret Level appears to be missing several details for whatever reason, and as a result, it doesn't really match the Relic gear status of the other armours in game.


Here is the version we have in game (it looks incredible don't get me wrong)IMG_1898.jpeg


But here is the version of Metaurus' armour that can be seen in the Secret Level episode:IMG_1903.jpeg


Obviously with the class system, we won't be seeing the iron halo on our bulwarks anytime soon. That said, It's clear to see that the focus for the in game model was on the upper torso, with the unique Crux Terminatus chest piece with the shield, and that the belt and hip armour details were otherwise ignored.


I understand that this is just a small tie-in piece of armour, and that certain smaller details might be unrealistic for the in game model to feature for rigging or animation reasons etc. That would make sense.


What doesn't make sense is why so many parts of the armour weren't included when they are already in game and can be seen on multiple existing armour pieces.


You can see that the armour from the episode has both front and back cloth (tabards, robes, whatever) beneath the belt, but for whatever reason, the version we have in game only has the front cloth. What's also missing are the belt accessories and iron skulls on the tassets or hip plates.

I know it's a minor thing, and I can already hear people reading this and saying "get over it", but I just can't!


I love the art of video games and even studied computer games art myself. I notice this stuff, and even if I hadn't, the existing Bulwark armour in the game really drives this point home already. 

We all start out with just the front cloth on the standard armour and then work our way up to the fully robed, epic bladeguard veteran looking versions covered in trinkets at the Relic tier.


So why is this tie-in armour sending us right back to the basic, less cool looking front cloth only version? It would be great to see this armour match the other Relic tier options. And after all, the assets are there, you have other armours in game with the back cloth and the iron skulls on the hips:

Including even just the back cloth and iron skulls would really help elevate the armour of Metaurus to the Relic tier befitting the Bladeguard Veteran Sergeant that trained Titus himself!


I know the artists behind this game are just as passionate as me about this stuff, and they've done amazing work bringing the world of 40k to life in this game, so I hope the team sees this post and that they decide to correct this issue and make these changes to the twitch drop armour of Metaurus. It would be so cool to see the armour in its full glory!


Thanks for reading,


Courage and honour brothers!
