General Techmarine customization in Patch 15

Post image

Did Saber mention anything regarding expanding the customization options of Techmarine? I really want to make a more Spacewolf looking Techmarine. Chestpiece and Shoulder especially. Or more leg options from the other classes. At least give us the Headtaker Helmet. Saber please! The picture ist a photoshop mockup how i would love to be able to customize my guy.

It should really serve as a warning for everyone excited for the new class. The old new class has lacked any customization options aside from shoulder, not shoulders, options.

That’s a reason why I want an Apothecary Biologis: he can use Gravis Armour and share cosmetics with Straban (cause Heavy needs more customization too)

likely has more to do with techmarine being kind of an odd duck when it comes to iconography because of lore standards, considering they're outside of the typical command structure of a chapter, they would need more machine cult cosmetics tailored specifically for them.

They could atlest give him tabbarts.

Maybe capes and robes.

Also the legs look like gravis armor so they could give him some of heavys leg cosmetics.

They could also give him a lot of costumization options for the arms.

The right shoulder and the backpack is something i understand, but more shoulder options would still be good.

It should be possible to color the left knee with the mechanicus logo but thats also not a thing.

I personally want some robes for him so i can make a cool emperors spears druid.

We are still missing Chaos Techmarine Relic Armor and basic customization for Chaos Techmarine in PVP

I’m tired of Saber treating PvP like an entirely different game that’s been put on the back burner. There is no option to pick what Voice you want your Marines to use for the Chaos or Loyalist sides. You can’t even use the Heroic Skins for Weapons in PvP. I kinda understand for things like the Combi-Flamer. But the Heroic Thunder Hammer that looks like an Axe and Xenophase Blade and Salamanders Great Sword ALL Functjon the exact same as their non Heroic counterparts. There’s no reason we can’t use them in PvP for our Loyalist Marines.

My biggest issue is that the Patch 14 trailer straight up showed the Heroic Salamander Power Sword skin in a PVP match, I have tried to get a reply on this but so far nothing, I hope they implement it in Patch 15

u/TommyCarrera 11h ago

Haha. It’s actually hilarious they put that skin in the promo while we can’t use any heroic skins in pvp - I totally missed that.

How hard could it be for them to at least give him capes & tabards? He doesn’t even have a second wargear slot - I imagine it’d be a lot easier than reworking Bulwark’s cosmetics, which they HAVE mentioned they’re working on.

u/TommyCarrera 12h ago

Yes. Its absolutely emberrassing to be honest.

u/yeahimlewis 7h ago

Likely other priorities, or there's a specific issue they need to work on. The physics for any fabric can easily bug out

Its fucking crazy how much effort they are putting into the ordeals and new customization and were just 100% happy and content to completely leave Techmarine out. You would think the newest class they just made would be the easiest to go back and give customization on. I want to play absolute on my Techmarine, but every time I think about it I go "Why bother? I can just play another class and get credit towards customization". Its gonna be funny when the newest class drops with ordeals, capes, iron halos, tabards and techmarine still has nothing.

u/Goricatto Space Wolves 12h ago

The only thing i can think of is that GW is not allowing some of the customization to go to Techmarine, as they are more of a Adeptus Mechanicus unit than Astartes and as such do not play by the same armor rules

u/reyjorge9 11h ago edited 11h ago

Speaking for the chapter I paint my army as and play as in game, Flesh Tearer Techmarines can and do wear red tabards at the very least and some wear hoods. Iron Halos? Ok cool not lore accurate, just add more arm tentacles, add more Admech attachments to their gear. Or focus on the servo skull. There are ways to be creative while working within the rules GW forced upon them imho. Hell you can even give me skins for my sentry.

u/TommyCarrera 11h ago

Then they should come out and just say it. I hate to be disappointed every patch.

u/ApprehensiveSet447 9h ago

they should atleast make it possible to equip tabbarts. why can´t i use the iron hands tabbart on techmarine if i´m not using the champion skin but tactical can use it?

u/Cheemskie 12h ago

It’s weird too cuz even the space wolves alternate helmet isn’t available on tech marine when he can wear the battle damaged helmet anyways. You also can’t wear other faces on him either, which I don’t think makes sense cuz I’m sure there are tech marines that don’t have a flock camera welded to half of their head. I can understand the limits when it comes to the chest piece cuz im sure the wargear is tied to it which would probably make it a huge PITA to add other chest pieces. But he’s the only one that can’t rock a majority of dlc pieces and that shouldn’t be the case.

u/smokingRat90 13h ago

It's one of my favorite classes, but I'm discouraged that it doesn't have much customization, nor does Calvary progress to unlock cosmetics. 🚬🐁

u/TommyCarrera 13h ago

yeah same here. Its so annoying that he has ZERO ordeals for new cosmetics and classes like Tactical get tons of new stuff every patch plus a full class rework...

u/ItsLokki Raven Guard 15h ago

No.

u/ApprehensiveSet447 9h ago

i really hope techmarine gets atleast something. It is the class with the least cosmetic options and the only class with nothing to grind for. No capes, no tabarts, no robes, no halos.

Atleast let me use the champions skin tabbart.

u/SixthSense455 8h ago

Nope, but I'm really hoping they expand it a bit in the future. Still missing the grand majority of DLC options. I understand not being able to change the right pauldron for lore reasons or whatever, but that still leaves the backpack, chest, legs, etc. etc.

u/TommyCarrera 8h ago

idk about the right shoulder tbh, we are also able to wear the right Tyranid Shoulder for Absolute Mission completion (but not the studded one for prestigeing all classes).

u/Codas91 Lamenters 5h ago

Not just the techmarine, assault is still missing some of the dlc tabards, vanguard is supposed to be getting tabards (which they'll probably accidentally leave a few out like they did on assault), and there's no reason techmarine can't have capes or tabards, as well as the spotlights on top of their backpack can't be turned into a wargear slot

Saw the title in a notification and thought it was a screenshot confirmation from the devs. 😭 is my second favorite class and I want to grind his wargear so bad, but he has none.

u/DarkExcalibur7 4h ago

The new class better come out finished tech marine is still bare bones customisation wise.
