As of current patch mk3 removes the torso part of the "robe/tabard" .Helmets still not visible.

This is true,

I made a Dark Angel MArine and Got him to Level 5 to find out I only got a jersey. No full robe

You can take off the mark 3 chest piece and he will have the robe on his torso. To be fair you wouldn't see it anyway.

The helmet part is true tho

eh, I'm willing to suffer a smidge of armor/robe clipping when the robes and Mk.3 chest piece create such a bad ass look.

And we also only get it for Veterans so we pretty much never see it.

I agree. I see no reason why regular tactical marines shouldn't get tabards or hoods.

Meanwhile, the Eldar sit in the corner, wishing for the tabards that all of the Aspects have in art and tabletop.

But, robes are cool and you should feel cool when wearing one.
