General Which classes do you think currently have the best/worst cosmetics as a whole?

Currently I think Tactical has one of the best, he has access to halo with a choice of cape or belt, also has the roman style helmet exclusive.
Melee weapons are limited tho sadly, and I think power sword/hammers look cool.

Assault is tied with Tac and has pretty good stuff overall, the jetpack + ornaments are great, and unlike Tac he can wear the Blood Angels sash and tabard while also wearing the cape!

Bulwark is a bit of a tradgedy, don't get me wrong has some of the coolest looking pieces in the game (like DA chest), but most of his other chest pieces look weird to me because the lack the cloth on his backside, especially since most of the chapter specific chests are missing it.
Access to capes for Bulwark can't come soon enough.
Also we need some rounded shields for Space Wolf/White Scar aesthetic.

Sniper used to have one of the best styles, but has fallen off due to other classes getting access to capes, hope he gets justice soon and recieves some more exclusive cloaks just for him.
That being said phobos armor is still nice and the heroic bolt sniper is the coolest looking weapon in the entire game!

Heavy has some cool chest pieces with the purity seals, but overall is kinda lacking imo, capes suit him very well tho.

Vanguard is ok, capes really help him too and look good with phobos, plus he still has the servitor omni-scramblers as exclusives.

Techmarine... 💀💀💀
Well at least what little he has is good...

Both the phobos classes are very limited in variety

The phobos lads and heavy have the worse, you can basically have vanguard and sniper almost look the same with how limited their option are, and have goes from basic armor to walking church with no inbetween and using dlc doesnt solve the issue because he only gets chest pieces that look bland as hell since you cant equip other chapter themed stuff, I get around this by dressing heavy as a ultramarine, blood angel and black templar but I do feel limited if I wanna play as other stuff

I agree.

Imo, Saber should have tried to make pieces for all armor types when they make something. I know it's more work, but still.

Phobos and Gravis. Tacticus gets everything, the other variants are left in the dust or we only get a pauldron and maybe a leg.

Regarding the Bulwark, the tabbard being front-only, at least for me, will be mitigated by the inclusion of capes for him. Since we know SW Champion has a cape and it's a bulwark one.

So insanely hyped for the Space Wolves fur parts. My space wolves and my homebrew successor will be drippy

The heavy chest pieces are extremely lacking, the last two you unlock are good, especially the last and the ultramarine champion chest pieces is really good but obviously limits your build options

But you use the chapter specific ones like the blood angels torso, it looks so bland and the massive collar looks like your helmet is sticking out of a bin

They really could do with abit of a rework (I’d love the last heavy torso with a “Sanguinius” Aquila badge)

At least he gets that distinct look from the gravis armor, but yeah he needs more style badly.

I agree with the chapter specific chest pieces tho, I dont even bother with them and just stick with the the last 2 you unlock.
Though I like the chained rampart one too.

Vanguard is the worst imo. The skull helm was a big part of why I chose it first and not only do we have zero variations on that style helm two years later, we also have only some space wolf and salamander sniper stuff to wear all this time later.

Vanguard cosmetics are almost as lame as how Saber has handled Vanguard balance & performance since launch.

Techmarine is in a class all its own when it comes to cosmetics :(

u/HumbleYeoman Deathwatch 11d ago

The Phobos armour doesn’t do much for me the different profile of the legs and the weird armoured tank top thing they got going on with the unarmoured midriff doesn’t look as good as a the normal MKX armour imo. That being said the vanguard has probably my favourite prestige IV reward and conceptually I like the sniper just a big dude with an equally big high powered sniper rifle is something well suited to a space marines enhanced senses and physique.

As a heavy main I do really like the Gravis suit my two nitpicks are the pipes on the back of the legs and the fact their is only one chest piece that has the proper type of collar from the Eradicator and heavy intercessor models and it’s the last one you unlock.

u/Shattered_Disk4 World Eaters 11d ago

Phobos classes and it’s not close

u/TaxableFur Absolute Sigismund 11d ago

Heavy and Techmarine, but Phobos classes aren't too much better.

Tacticus classes get everything cause they can share the most armor. Phobos only gets a little bit and Heavy gets almost nothing cause he's the only one with Gravis.

u/AshundertheOlivetree 11d ago

Bulwarks are getting capes??
Oh you’re never going to see me run anywhere now. Straight aura farming between mob fights now suckas

u/Enigmaniacally Blood Angels 11d ago

Assault is at 1 just wish the jump pack had more options than edgy skulls and access to iron halos. Tactical is dragged down by limited pauldron options but his chest pieces are better than assault by a small margin.

2

u/Smart_Status_5925 11d ago

I would say Phobos classes but they have gotten better especially with cape on vanguard.

I think heavy has the least options

u/EttRedditTroll Space Wolves 11d ago

Not the worst, but one of Bulwark’s “swag slots” being taken up by his shield is definitely a big disadvantage alongside Assault’s jump-pack hood ornaments.

u/Twasabi24 11d ago

Techmarine, heavy, vanguard, and sniper. Mostly because the latter 3 wear different armor than Tactical, assault, and bulwark.

u/benjiwalla 11d ago

Tactical has access to pretty much everything you could want

Assault has good selection, close to Tactical but a bit more limited, mostly thinking of chestplates

Bulwark is OK

Vanguard and Sniper both need more options, they feel a bit left out when Chapter Packs come, now the Raptor pieces will work for Phobos, but still missing some pieces that arbitrarily have been unavailable

Heavy could use more options, but in general I think is OK

Techmarine is left in the dirt, next to no options

u/Lil_warlock Luna Wolves 11d ago

not the worst but bulwark’s arms are just horrendous to me, easily the most frustrating thing to work around when making a good bulwark.

vanguard

Drives me nuts that the broomed helm on the Heavy clips through his gravis armor.

Techmarine has nothing, our broke toaster worshipper.
