Out of curiosity for the game however, are they having simple pre-set legions where we can only pick through for, along with all the other races, or will they simply give us a color painter similar to the Relic games? While I'd love for Raptors, Noise Marines, etc to be in the game- not being able to create my own personal CSM of any preferred Legion or Warband not included as a pre-set skin would really kill the game for me.
Ya id be ok with seeing them as a NPC thing that just wanders around or fights another titan over our heads during a big battle, but not something a player could drive
Some of this may just be wishful thinking, but... 'Standard' Chaos Space Marines Chaos Havocs Raptors/Warp Talons The God-Aligned units (Berzerkers, Rubric Marines, Plague Marines, Noise Marines) Sorcerers (of various alignments) Terminators Warpsmiths Dark Apostles Dreadnoughts/Helbrutes, depending whether they are a class or a vehicle.
Agreed, id rather see cult troops as basic classes that chose to pick a god and grinded particular weapon skills. Like a zerker is just a tactical who picked khorn and at Axing to Face skill level 8 they unlock the ability to wear the iconic helmet
They have mentioned it will have the same (mostly) horizontal leveling system that spacemarine has. You get more specialized, but not more raw power
This actually sounds pretty good although I would worry that the system would promote a lot of solo grinding and that doesn't really lend itself to the IP As for the topic question I'd like the basics Raptor, havoc, standard, and sorc. Termys would be fun but might become op with some cap to them
