I have few basic questions about some of SM chapters which are in this game. 1) Is there going to be unique colour scheme (by default) for each chapter at some point of time? E.g., Blood Angels have their helmets painted according to lore. And if yes - do we have any predictions or even plans from BHVR? 2) Robes and hoods for Dark Angels? 3) I have a strong feeling that at the moment, fist on a pauldron of IF is just a texture, even though I might be wrong. In my opinion, it should get more physical, gain some bulk probably?
1) it's already in BA devs have blue helmets, assault have yellow ones 2) we saw the Eldar warlock in the latest stream He was wearing a robe with some not finished cloth physic effects So yes robes will be in if they don't cause to much trouble 3) don't really know But we sure will have some armor skins and cosmetics in the shop and I bet some will be like you describe here
I personally think not putting various robes and monk-like stuff in the store for marines would literally be like them walking past a few million dollas on the street. People love that sort of aesthetic on marines, and will pay for it. It's not like I've done surveys and seen the metrics, but I'd still be very confident about blind guessing that Dark Angel robes in the store would more than pay off their development costs and then some. Having said that, stuff like cloaks and robes are probably the technically most challenging thing an artist has to do, physics wise. I guess it depends on if the U4 engine supports stuff like that yet. I'm still antcipating the day that a game creates full wide cloaks with decent physics and encompasses at least one shoulder. Those sorts of cloaks look fantastic and would really distinguish special characters in EC.
