Deathwatch Gear

[Platzetta]

Hello developers and fellow brothers of the Imperium

I have unlocked everything in the game. There seems to be some missing textures and parts from the Deathwatch armour pieces. I'm surprised not a lot of people have been mentioning this. There prologue mission has the correct textures and armour pieces. But in the operations, they aren't present. Not only is the arm piece missing textures and parts completely, but other Deathwatch armour parts outside of the shoulder and leg pieces aren't in the game atm. Helmets, different armour, decals, weapon skins etc. Oversight, mistake, bug or have I misunderstood something?

Thanks for trying to make the game better but there are some weird things happening.

Also, even though we see chapter symbols on the RIGHT pauldrons in the prologue, we STILL don't have them available for ops - but the recent patch added them for Chaos... the assets already exist. We've been asking for LOYALIST chapter markings on the right shoulder since release AND they already exist in the game files...

I had all the deathwatch armor pieces before the latest patch released and never noticed any problems with them.

What texture is missing exactly?

Mainly the elbow joint shield, and the lower arm bracer is also just a metallic of the default, rather than an engraved one.

It is an entirely different model though, since Titus was not Primaris but a firstborn Marine. So everything is smaller.

Shouldn't matter to the inclusion of the parts. Rescaling them would be easypeasy.

This^

Also I assume that the various Deathwatch gear you see in the prologue was something you'd get. Perhaps it is just me, but it feels like there's stuff missing. It just feels weird that the assets are in the game but then they completely strip them out or remove them altogether outside the prologue.

The issue is that GW will probably veto things that don't have a close enough parallel in the miniatures.

Someone mentioned something in these lines and also that "they're not lore accurate". Which makes zero sense since you can add Heretic iconography etc. Like you said, easypeasy to add them since the assets are there. Feel like an oversight to me but that's just imo.

Games Workshop is in the business of selling plastic miniatures and it's assumed for pretty much any licensed game of theirs that they veto things they don't have products for.

Lore is mostly irrelevant to that.
They do sell transfers (Water applied stickers) for all the Heretics as well, so that's not a concern for that.

There's noway the model is different if the devs would answer this question.

I would agree if the game didn't already take a lot of liberties in parts where products don't actually exist to make miniatures of the characters we can play ingame. It may well have been their reasoning but it seems a bit odd.

While I'm out of the loop on new Primaris marine miniatures I've had a peek and can't find several of the things we do get ingame, like twohanded thunderhammer, or lots of the bling we can put on.

We can adorn the jump pack with a heap of stuff that doesn't exist in miniature form, but not the elbow shield of a deathwatch arm?

Beyond that though, if I were to try to recreate a deathwatch primaris marine miniature there are some parts in the Imperial Fists Primaris Upgrades and Transfers kit that would fit as the elbow shield. Of course I would also easily cut off an actual deathwatch lower arm and glue that in place too.

So not entirely onboard with the reasoning, might well be it but it seems to contradict a lot of other design choices.
