Bulwark Robes

[maccas]

Why does all of these look terrible? All the customisation is nice, but this seems like an out-of-place huge miss :(

[Darth Revan]

Why out of place? Because there is a robe or because something with the robe not looking right?

[pRaX]

Literally the best part about Bulwark.

[Rodi]

You call that robe?
I call that rag. It's ugly, dirty and completely out of place on the armor.
Dirty rags are not decoration.

Those rags are official games workshop designs though:

Just wish you could colour those cloth parts on the Bulwarks.

yeah basically this, they're just hessian rags, not robes adorning armour...

Hoping the new chapter will be Dark Angels so we get some proper robes!

[Panny]

Yer i'd like the option to colour them.

Just wait till they meet Grey Knights. All the raggy robes and loincloths you could ever want with some of the absolute best looking power armor in the all the chapters.

Yet everyone will still go "Ew, these robes are ugly". Tell me you're not a 40k fan without telling me you're not a 40k fan.

Those don't look anything like as ragged and tatty as the plain thin hessian rubbish in the game?

Well I don't know which bulwark armor you are refering to in specific and also that's why I asked the question in my first comment here. :)

Full robes with hoods are official designs too, look up dark angels models for reference. :)

Also it's logical that those robes look thicker on plastic models, you don't want them to easily break off after all.

And quite the bad designs. Imagine fighting your opponent, only to trip on that and fall face down in the mud. 10/10.

I'm not talking about the style, how many robes, with/without a hood, over shoulders, whatever. DA models look fantastic, I'm talking about how scruffy and tatty the material looks on these Bulwarks in game. Look at the toga style cloth on one of the later Tactical armours - completely different to the rough hessian robes on the bulwark.

As for them being thicker on plastic models - GW has absolutely never given any care about the durability of their model's fine details If it breaks it means you buy another one!

Ah, sorry for that, I see now what you mean.

I agree from a practical standpoint, it looks cool though depending on which models we are talking about. :)

Not a single picture on your link has a Space Marine with rags all over their armor. The relic set full of rags they put in this game is ridiculous.

EDIT: It's not about robes, hoods and capes, that's decoration. Those filthy dirty rags over every single piece in that relic armor set is not.
