CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM REWORK 🔴

if they add earlier mk's of the power armour like heresy, mk4 and mk6 and maybe the Corvus helmet with a sideways mohawk thing id give my life for this game its already got my vote for goty but if they do this for free ofc id truly live and die for the emperor as Garveil Lokan himself

And yet several recent kits come with classic Mk7 helms. Those can be added at the very, very least without breaking canon unless the GW suits are refusing for whatever reason.

yes. All yes.

Different armor sets are tied to different classes because they use different variants of armor. The only two interchangeable classes would be tactical and assault. Bladeguard armor is different than regular tacticus armor, and the other classes wear phobos/gravis. It would make no sense to have interchangeable armor pieces/sets.

Say we run with this mentality, how to do we implement older generations of armor onto say a class that wear Phobos. For example, a set of mark IV gets added which is not slim or lightweight in any fashion. How do we deal with that? Just lock it behind certain classes like assault and tactical? Genuinely curious.  

Its pretty simple. Primaris marines dont wear older armor marks, besides occasionally older helmets. So there just wouldnt be older armor marks.

Very keen on the Firstborn Armor. Even if its just the Helmets, I really want to be able to have my Mk7 or my Beakie Helmet. In those cases we know from models and lore that they can be work with MK10 armor.

Sternguard Veteran models come with some Mk7 helmets. And Ravenguard Primaris, both Phobos and standard, can and do in lore and on tabletop models use Mk6 helmets. Besides, even if this was only available for two classes that would be more than enough. 

I also want to see faces added as my marine doesn't feel like my own. I'm  Quentin or decimus of the Ultrmarines not my cool Salamander. Drop the narrative and just make an Inquisitor give us orders.

100%

Especially the Chaos Armor Variants need more options

Yes, but at the end of the day it's still a game. I'd rather have more fun factor than keep to the lore. If you want to roleplay and keep to that kind of stuff then go for it, but the rest of us who don't care as much about that stuff shouldn't have things locked off cuz of lore reasons. I've had this issue with halo and thought it was the dumbest thing they've ever done. And I love WH, but I'd rather have access to all armor pieces for one loadout to make the best looking Space Marine I can make than try to be completely authentic as possible. There is a fine line there somewhere but as it is now, it just ain't it. Especially coming off of the first game. The way I see it, lore belongs to the story mode in games, but come coop/mp it shouldn't count since it adds too much limitations in certain areas.

well we could instead have a new class for first borns aka non Primaris Marines or to make it lore accurate use the body model for Titus during the prologue and use that to make old marks of power armor in lore and accessible to the players maybe to roleplay as a veteran space marine that has been attached to a primaris squad 

i pray to the emperor himself for them to add older mks of the power armour so i can make a Garveil Lokan

Then why are chaos marines Primaris size? It brakes cannon by your standard

We play as first born chaos marines in pvp, moot point. 

This post should go straight to The Emperor. Costumization is very restrictive.

we should definitely have more customization options especially for Chaos marines. Would be cool to have the classes not locked to a certain legion.

You have my vote I would love to play as a night lord in operations 

Agreed

Im 100% behind you with ur second point but your first one is a little bit unrealistic. Its already been mentioned that the different class' pieces of armour physically fit different, i.e. physically incompatible. 

Terminator crucifex shoulder pad as well as the deathwatch shoulder pad is avaliable to all the classes, so i dont see a reason why they cannot make more general armour parts

Limiting creativity for lore reasons is a fools gambit. Especially considering the custiminzation we have currently contradicts the reason. How come in a story connected ops mode we can have a black Templar, salamander, and a blood marine all rolling up together as a squad during an event involving only ultra marines? 

Custominzation of armor pieces and etc shoud never be limited.

​I agree with most of this, the similar pieces being unlocked for classes that share an Armour type? Awesome idea considering that the Sniper and Vanguard both use mk10 Phobos patern Armour while Tactical and assault both use mk10 Tacticus patern Armour. And having access to the champion pack cosmetics as individual parts would be absolutely awesome, not to mention Lens and Weapon colours would help with the Roleplay aspect.

Then there's the actual facial customisation, voices, and personalities, again Awesome idea my personal chapter, The River Hounds, are descended from Russ and are much like the Space Wolves in personality and temperament but the closest I can get is Vanguard's personality and voice.

As for stuff like the older mk's of Armour? I don't really think that's possible as the Marines we play as(and all the npc Marines on the battle barge) are Primaris so the older mk's wouldn't be able to fit, now don't get me wrong I'd love to rock the Beaky or Mk7 helmets cause they're iconic but the rest? Ehhh.

But you've earned my upvote!
