Ngl, the wolf tails on the banner goes kinda hard fr.

I love the new raptor head, and it might be my fav head of all time, Saber will have a hard time out-doing them selves on this one.

The head is very minimalist, yet tactical and asymetrical, and almost have an old school aura about it.

I am currently using this on all my marines.

After playing SM2, Deathwatch quickly became my favorite marines, the silver pauldron/arm on black combined with any cool chapter is chef kiss.

And year 2 turned out to be a good year for Deathwatch, with so many skins/cosmetics.

I am so hyped for year 3 Deathwatch champion.

Dont get me wrong: i dislike Tyranid Snipers when playing Assault or using meltas/flamers... but damn they feel amazing vs bolters!

Playing as a Bulwark they pose no threat rly and bolt weapons feel amazing vs them, specially Stalker, Carbine or Heroic Bolt Rifle.

During Patch 13, while farming Sniper absolute Ordeals, i felt in love sniping the snipers with my Heroic Bolt Sniper.

Sniping the snipers is such a fun mini game while playing The Sniper class, and when you get good at quick scoping with Heroic Bolt Sniper, you will completely trivialize Tyranid only missions because you will delete all the Snipers/Zoantrophes.

Tyranid Snipers are designed as Bolter meat, and i love it, specially with their big heads and increased dmg taken from ranged dmg.

... but yeah they kinda suck when enraged some times.

I really wants unreleased heads, the white scar and RG.

I would also like to see a Salamander head, we as a comunity has asked for it in long time.

I would also like to see more heads inspired by "Cool guys" like they have made Batista and 50 Cents...

A head inspired by Sam Eliott would be my wet dream.

A Nicholas Cage inspired VP for Legion of The Damned/Black Rage Blood Angel would also be cool.

Maybe even a Steven Seagal themed Mantis Warrior voice pack.

... what i am saying is we need a head pack for year 3.

- what head would you like to see?

I love the new heroic thunder hammer aka "Lord Executioners Axe", it is what all heroics should be in theory; FUN ❤️🩷💛

The effect on this weapon is so good, it has great minoris hoard clearing and it feels so satisfying getting a full charged combo off on a Hellbrute or a Majoris wave, it slaps so hard.

I feel like all the hate it gets has nothing to do with the heroic itself, but just the thunder hammer part.

Yes Thunder Hammers are very slow, but i see a lot of players using thunder hammers way to agressively.

Thunder Hammers (Block), is all about using a 2x block charges to stagger, then you do your combo.

Also use your enveriment aka pillars to lure enemies into a combo.

I had high hopes for Auto Bolt Rifle to become viable/descent option for Absolute+ runs at the end of year 2.

... but boy was i wrong, it feels completely abandoned at this point, weak perks, weak dmg, weak ammo. There is never an option to chose this over HBR or the Bolt Rifle.

I have heard people say its confirmed by the devs to be designed as "the worst rifle", donno if true.

I cant find any sources on this and it seems like complete BS to me... why would it have 2 awesome skins then? An Ordeal skin AND a Dark Angel skin.

Instead of seeing new weapons added i would like to see this weapon fixed or atleast make the skins viable on other rifles, otherwise the DA pack or Ordeal seems like a complete rip off.

I wish they would add a heroic version of Auto Bolt Rifle, that could make it enjoyable and worth it. Like a body shot "spray and pray" gun maybe.

... but at this point it just seems forgotten, a dead weapon, over shadowed by everything else.

- thanks for reading.

This sword feels great, i have been playing a lot with Relic Block and Xeno Blade, but dam this might be my favorite power sword, its so fast, a good defensive option yet slaps on parries.

It might be my favorite fencing weapon of all time, something i would never go back to i thought, after discovering block and balanced.

This sword goes so hard on both Bulwark and Techmarine, the devs absolutely cooked with this one, and i cant imagine it was easy considering GW gave them a no on burning effects, but yet they perfectly nailed it.

I cant wait to see what we are getting for year 3, if we get anything close to this or the power axe, we are in for a good time!

Showing off my love for 40k by apreciating John Blanche, the godfather of 40k and my favorite fantasy artist of all time.

I know a lot of peoples first introduction to 40k has been through this lovely game we all enjoy or Astartes, and might not be familiar with John Blanches work.

I have always loved how grim dark and gothic his artworks are, yet they are also incredible colourful with stark contrasts, something extremly fitting.

So when a person tells you that your marine isnt lore accurate because of "too much drip"...

Just reply; "Remember John Blanche?" and you have just commited the biggest flex there is.

Fr, why is tactical even getting a melee rework?

He is def an S-tier class and one of THE best classes in the game.

I know on release he more of an all rounder class, but he quickly became a ranged focused class, and he is one my fav because he makes bolters feel good.

Heavy and even deadass Vanguard needs this more!

Why the fuck is the rework of tactical such a priority over Heavy, who tbh fr needs an alternative playstyle REAL BAD!

Tactical rework is only an execute to nerf him

Me and my boys only logical conclussion to this is:

... he is going to get reworked Auspex Scan Perks AKA BIG NERF, just so he can get a 20% dmg increase on charged attacks.

THIS IS SUCH A LETDOWN FOR HEAVY/VANGUARD PLAYERS!

WARNING!: Huge coopium post inc

I and many others would love too see Aggressors joing the Spacemarine franchise, and i really hope we get to plsy them in SM3.

For SM2 i thunk the chances are slim, but they would be sooo cool as a new bruiser class or as a 4th fixed loadout for Heavy (doubt the current tech could handle it).

We need a Black Sword skin but as a Relic Tier, not heroic, i know its pretty much just a Black Templar thing, but it has a very minimal design estetique simillar to other Ultramar Relic Tier Weapons.

The reason why it should NOT be a Heroic Skin, is because a DA or BA themed 2h sword would fit this category better, since they have a heavy chapter iconography.

Dataminers found some very interesting things.

It looks like the new Chaos siege will introduce a "Loyalist Wave" and a "Defend Daemonhost".

It seems like Chaos Siege will work a bit diferent than the usual siege.

My theory is:

they will have a special elite wave aka Loyalist Wave, where we fight a boss consisting of 3-4 Spacemarines and possible The Astra Militarium.

But also a wave centered around holding your ground, defending an area aka "Defend Daemonhost".

A lot of people want a judiciar, chaplain or an apothecary which are all basically a support class.

... either it will slow enemies, buff allies or heal them, and i think this is likely what we are getting, it doesnt really which "Marine look", they will all function the same way...

I think despite what ever the outcome is we are getting it WILL 100% be a support class centered around buffing ally dmg, contested health and introducing a new mechanic, slow.

Dont get me wrong i love the Heroic Sword and Hammer/axe, i also find the Combi-flamer fine even tho it feels like attaching a knife onto a sword (has no real dual purpose).

... But the Heroic Fist, Stalker and Melta are all really odd designs/balance...

I see so many cool ideas on Reddit and Youtube which i feel like would be easy enough to implement, yet instead we get these really dumb and clunky heroics (imo the Heroic Melta just needs a bigger dmg increase, idea is fine).

Your thoughts on new heroics?

Especially fist, stalker and combi-flamer.

I was really hoping for these 2 weapons to be good ever since their announcement and they let me down big time.

These are not sidegrades, they feel like downgrades... by purpose.

Stalker Bolt Rifle heroic only triggers on body shot. This is over all a bad design for a sniper weapon and the scan is kinda lackluster, since NPCs can just walk/flee out of the effect.

Fist is just a lot of effort just to perform a weaker charged attack. AND it feels super clunky, even with the added tracking.

I love the new champion, but i need to adress the elefant (or dragon) in the room...

Why is the chest piece and legs not avaible for tacticus armor? Its a bit disapointing, we had 1 cosmetic pack, 2 champion packs, yet we still cant equip full armor on the most popular/played classes aka tactical, bulwark, assault techmarine and maybe Judiciar?

I dont want to be that guy but... i kinda want a Bulwark Salamander pack for year 3/4 now.

Its very sad and a testimony we really need armor modular customazatioin in this game fr.

Saber please give us a primaris version of Pedro Kantor as champion skin.

The armor part would work so well at making custom armors for Ultramarines, Imperial Fists and their successors, dam even Blood Angels!
