You have to buy thing in order, buy them emblem, then you can buy the color.

Um...Im not really sure what you're confused about since you should be able to unlock all of the black templar stuff through the heraldy menu including the paint for the armor.

I have to unlock chaos heraldy to ge tto black, Which is strange as a black templar, why cant I just pay and unlock black from the colour panel? i need to go into chaos heraldry and unlock chaos items.

You know, this would all be easier if there was just a shop menu with each item segregated to a specific menu (i.e. all the paints on one menu, the insignias on another, armor pieces on another, etcetera).

If you unlock all the black templar stuff you can select the black templar heraldry. You do not need to unlock black unless you want to make a custom version or something.

I too am a bit peeeved that colors are locked behind DLC chapters or chapters not related to the one that you decided to unlock. Blood ravens colors are locked behind 2 dlc chapters, and the heraldry menu just unlocks the symbols.

It uses an Ork Color palette in this game called Bad Sunz Skarlet (I think) And the bone color for the pauldrons is from another U-Marine successor from the dlc. In theory this makes picking and choosing more important than normal, BUT if you have a locked item equipped to your saved armor/heraldry presets upon restart it will WIPE the colors and customization you did that is locked. I wish they thought that bit out a little bit more but whatever, I still have access to it (normal edition owners will need the successor chapters DLC though)

Also I wish Decals were available for both pauldrons. I know they want to pad out unlocks a bit but the Carcharadons don't need the same shark but locked to each shoulder, it should have just been one.

SIDE NOTE: We need Mk 7-2 armor for customization purposes along with more of the unique and out there parts that are bespoke to certain chapters. There are like 3 designs of the MkV and MkVIII that would go hard in this game.

Also a color selector for Helmet Visors is something we need. I can't do a blood raven on some of the classes since they all have red lenses instead of green.

I think this is the sort of stuff we are going to be milked for for years to come in season passes. I'm sort of excited for space marine 3 but just knowing we will lose all this collected customization in the 3rd game lol...

If you go into customization and go over a color you want on mouse and keyboard you can hold left click to show in heraldry. Certain colors only go to certain parts (which is kinda dumb). For main armor color I use Null Oil which is part of the Omega Marines heraldry in Unknown Foundings.


I did this to find all the Deathwatch armor parts (I made all my classes the same with Deathwatch armor, mostly Null Oil... black with the tertiary color being Sycorax Bronze, the left pauldron being Mephisto Red with the skull that came in the Blood Angels heraldry (both the red and skull came from the Blood Angels.... I wish I could have their actual logo on but it's only for the left pauldron which is the Deathwatch pauldron that can't really be customized). Not super knowledgeable about Warhammer lore but I liked the sound of Deathwatch and the Blood Angels (watched a lot of videos on space marine chapters).... I originally liked the Blood Ravens from Space Marine 1. Unknown Foundings is where you get all the Deathwatch armor parts).
