Salamander leaks

Devs makes excuses with lore as argument but don't now shit that they are talking about. It's completely pathetic. The fencing change was the last drop, they don't play the game and don't now about the lore.

I'm only here about the fencing to see if it was a bug, now I know it was so very disappointed. Being a massive dark angels fan also disappointed to the same fact that everything was half a job it feels, the torso is ok ish but with a tabard helmet a body robe would of made sence. The shoulder is bare and boring and the worst was the mk8 helm.... Lore I agree is important especially when they give us a helmet worn by the very marines that are never on foot. The ravenwing are entirely fast engagememt based bikes speeders and fighter jets... when they actually do require feet on the ground they call in the 3rd to 10th company's or even the 1st deathwing. Wish they would at least cut up the balwalk for parts to be used on other classes... 

I mean…salamanders do have snipers too.

I think the did it to show off the Salamander cloak since Sniper's model is integrated with fabric.

But I get what you're saying; more customization and player freedom is better. Each class being relegated to a single chapter champion isn't great.

HOWEVER, who's to say we won't get more champions per class as the game progresses?

We still have 3-5 years before Space Marine 3 even gets a teaser; in that time Focus will be able to make dozens of content drops.

I think they know full well that additional customization options and unique skins get people just as (if not more) excited as a new map or mission.

They may have, snipers sure. But they used this same reasoning for chaos space marine skins being relegated to one legion per class, the devs clearly understand and demonstrated that they have ideas on what weapons and classes are more iconic and make sense for different chapters. 

It's clear to me that Salamanders being Sniper makes no sense compared to Dark Angels getting Bulwurk which makes *perfect* sense.

As a Raven Guard fan I would say anything but Assault as teh champion would be a disservice to the Chapter.

Raven Guard uses ambush and guerrilla tactics in general, not just on scouts, even the ships can cloak.
Meanwhile most depictions of RG involve jetpacks and melee weapons. Notable characters related to RG (Corvus Corax, Nykona Sharrowkyn, Kayvaan Shrike) all use jetpacks.

So... if you're dissatisfied with Salamanders getting the Sniper - you can complain about that, sure, but please don't push the issue to others.
Not to mention that Salamander Sniper makes a lot of sense, since without this Champion skin the ingame Sniper trying to be a Salamander can't do that because its immediately visible that he has no ashen/onyx skin.

I agree and disagree at the same time. The sniper looks bad ass but it would have made more sense to put the champion skin on the vanguard since he has a melta rifle. I think they need to add robe/cloak for all classes plus new weapons, new classes, a raid type pve mission for 6 people with random weapon cosmetics as rewards. Pvp needs to have a ranking system, more maps game modes (CTF, kill confirm etc ) what i think is that they had a date to put out the game and they were behind and didn't complete everything they wanted to do with the game that's what we got.
