Salamanders champion skin...is a sniper

[LegionXNX]

I'm tripping right? This honestly feels like an excuse to not add the heavy flamer in the game because if tactical got salamander or even vanguard they can still use a flamer.

LITERALLY vanguard would be a PERFECT salamander but no we don't get that.

Anyways my assumptions for the future champions as they mentioned raven guard is gonna be assault so they can introduce beaky helm

Blood angels = tactical

[U92]

It is kind of baffling. The Salamanders are one of the least fitting chapter for a long-range sneaky class. They are the biggest space marines and are known for using flamers, close-range weapons.

They should be giving ALL classes a champion skin ffs, the sheer unadulterated laziness / lack of actual content is seriously stunning for a game that was as successful as this was. They're either beyond lazy or they have a dedicated team of 5 humans updating this game.

Nobody is demanding we get 20 new operations by next week either, the overwhelming consensus of players seem to be:

● Customizable AI squadmates.
● Right pauldron chapter logos.
● WAY more chapter icons.
● Base Mark 8 helmet.
● Deathwatch campaign armor, specifically their plate, helmet, and arm.
● Customizable champion skins.
● Pauldron patterns like the Lementers checkers.
● More armor parts that aren't identical to other classes' armor parts or ones that are almost indistinguishable from vanilla-base armor parts.
● Ability to change skins mid-game at the class change weapons lockers.

And for non cosmetic content:
● The power axe that's literally in the Deathwatch opening cutscene, plus lightning claws / mace, and bolter buffs that make them seem more powerful than an .22 long rifle.
● More than 3 vanilla PvP maps.
● More than 1 measly ass operation every few months.
● A bare-ass-bones (Tyranid) Horde mode similar to the few Horde segments in operations.

The cosmetic content seriously couldn't be easier for them to add too, modders have even seen fit to add mostly all of that via Community Overhaul + Astartes Overhaul mods.

they literally do not care about this game since they got the money and its so blatantly obvious because literally they are just reusing existing models and reskins for champion skins and armor like seriously look at the "new" armor we got.

another reused model with a non-emblem on its helm and non-color changing hood cloak either.

reused model asset chest piece but with an a dark angel shield on its chest and a bullet necklace oh gee wow.

the only legit new piece of armor we got was that death wing helmet. like this is a joke.

1 thing I REALLY want them to add and its so easy, add the option to change the color of our guns with already existing color pallet you let us use for our armors.

One thing that kinda bothers me is that the dark angels got a class that represents them well. If the rumors i have read are true the raven guard will get a class that will represent them well but the salamanders get like the most opposite of what they are know for?

I recently saw something that does at least raise a fair point. Salamanders are known for hunting wild animals on Nocturne. In addition, the Cult of Promethean that they follow has emphasis on self-reliance, loyalty, duty, patience, awareness, self-sacrifice, self-discipline and endurance. So while it's unexpected, it's not totally out of line.

That being said, still think another class would have been better. Could have even done tactical. Or just give heavy a second one

Personally lean towards at least something with a Melta, we may not have a opperations ready flamer but at least give the SALAMANDERS a heat based weapon c'mon. Tach wouldn't be bad, melta, and close ranged generally but not mobility based. Seems like a no brainer but maybe they have another idae, I am just salt no Raven Guard Sniper.

Yeah, it really should have been fire based. As while the Sniper appears to be a neat reference to deeper lore, the Champions shouldn't be reminiscent of deep lore. They should be what people see them as in general

It's incredibly annoying, especially because with the cosmetics it's SMALL details ALREADY in the game ffs. Other than the first op, their updates have almost been RDR Online levels of 'we don't give a ****.' With the unforseen success this game had it's like they didn't care to ride it out.

I think these ass clowns are actually pondering Space Marine 3 for some absolutely ridiculous and greedy reason too, which could easily account for the nonchalance, plus them working on some lame new dinosaur game. Had they go all out in post launch content, and even put small price tags on things, among other things like no needless nerfs or a Horde Mode, they could've had Dark Tide levels of success. I feel like more attention to the marine customization could've really dragged in the plastic crackheads too, I've found myself spending more time making some than playing some days.

[Kharn the Betrayer]

I mean you can build sniper for melee just fine.

[zmanbuilder]

Salamanders have snipers too,

[Realigo Actual]

I bet he can lance a ripper in the eye at 900 yards.

[Ragnar]

what makes the poor choice from Saber to use Sniper for Salamander-skin even worse, is the fact that they give the Bolt-Sniperrifle the Salamander-weaponskin, instead of the Laserfusil who has at least something to do with heat

Like I love WH games like SM2 but the lack of care from the developers is staggering and i'm not gonna buy another game from saber.

[Amadeus]

I tell you they are too lazy and to far from the lore to give him a black model or red eyes.
Its the Sniper because he has a cape! so lazy guys. Give capes to all classes.
They should finally adjust the launch bay to the chapter of the host or a death watch themed inquisitorial ship.
i dont understand all the praise for the game. outside campaign its just a 40k souls game. i get that people like that but if it would have been advertised as such i would never have bought dark souls 40k

This thread is just a circle jerk at this point.
