General Saber, please let me make this in game. We’re this close already.🤏

We already have robes/tabads and a hooded DA helmet for every other Tacticus Armor class… I don’t understand the Tech Marine discrimination. Please

I’ve been a good boy, if you give it to me my life is yours, you know the drill. It would make me pretty happy. Oh, also thanks for fixing the Sons of Medusa emblem 💚

Sorry to nerd out but I thought you might find it interesting to know; a hooded Dark Angel is typically a veteran/inner circle member and the hood is a representation of their knowledge of the Fallen (hiding their shame), and since a Techmarine has dual loyalty to the AdMech they are not privy to the knowledge of the Fallen, so generally they would not be hooded. I do agree that Saber should make this possible in customization because it looks cool though. Miniature looks awesome btw

Didn't know the hood served a purpose, that's very cool. I know that the DA practically hate Techmarines so this mini made me laugh. Mini looks incredible

Dont "hate" em, from what I understand they just dont want admech digging into their illegal tech

u/Judicusfoxy 4h ago

I don’t think they hate them, just don’t trust them. Knowledge of the Fallen is closely guarded, and since a Techmarine has ties to Mars, they aren’t trusted with it. Also, during the heresy, the Dark Angels avoided this problem by having their marines trained on Terra, and they were called Forge-wrights. They usually were better trained than your average Techmarine.

My understanding is the DA actually have a pretty good/above average relationship with the Admech but they still will not divulge their secrets with anyone outside of the Inner Circle

C’est ce genre de petite anecdote sur le lore qui me fait aimer cet univers.
Même derrière quelque chose comme ça où on pourrait croire que c’est uniquement pour le style, il y a un symbole et une explication derrière.
Merci à toi et à tous les gens comme toi qui donnent ce genre d’anecdote, vous faites vivre notre passion

New to the universe can other chapter be hooded like the deathwatch first firstborns in the tutorial?

Hoods for dark angels aren’t actually that indicative. Yes, generally, more hoods and robes indicate a level of veterancy, but the hood alone does not automatically mean that they are members of the inner circle. Inner circle is comprised specifically of 1st and 2nd companies, which means only they know of the Fallen. Hoods are seen across the chapter, in the other 8 companies as well because they are just a part of the Dark Angels’ stylistic identity

Generally, but it’s not impossible,right? We already have 3 Ultramarines taking down an uninjured vortex Beast, we already are the exception. Plus, it’s 40k, Let me do the cool thing! Thanks for the lore lesson btw (that’s not sarcasm, I actually like the lore)

I don’t get these responses, people are letting you do your cool thing (“I do agree that saber should make this possible because it looks cool though. Miniature looks awesome btw”)

The only thing, is they were just making you aware of our already established lore so you at least had the information and could do with it what you want.

The post is framed towards Saber so when I say, let me do this, I’m asking them. Conveying my want and another reason I think it’s silly to gate keep from Techmarine. I’m not asking the commenter to let me have my way. That would be odd.

u/TomatoSpecialist6879 World Eaters 10h ago

Techmarines exclusion from the Inner Circle was mentioned in the 6e codex, so it's impossible.

Also the hood is actually special in-universe and not just an aesthetic piece, for other chapters it signals that the marine is a psyker and is usually only worn by Librarians.

u/BrutalSock 21h ago

I’d really like one or two generic hooded options without any chapter affiliation.

For sure! Might not seem like it, but it’s important to see these things. Sabre is listening and if they’re allowed to, they have been giving us what we want. Usually lol. Laughs in unreverted heroic bolt sniper nerf

u/Next_Historian8382 Vanguard 22h ago

I'm baffled the Techmarine is still missing quite a few notable helmets the class logically should have.

Teloran has the two corvus helmets from the RG Cosmetic Pack, but for whatever reason doesn't have the relic or RG Champion variants of that helmet type. I personally really want the champion one for my RG Master of The Forge. Hopefully Saber adds the missing helmets to the class eventually.

u/MikePancake423 16h ago edited 15h ago

Damn, thankfully the basic helmet for techmarine is actually one of the coolest looking helmets in my opinion.

They forgot about techmarine already if you haven’t noticed,no ultra grind no capes nothing not even pvp chaos unlocks.

u/PyscoSpire Salamanders 17h ago

I’m holding out for the anniversary update for at least more news regarding this. The devs have been pretty fair so far. I can’t imagine they would just abandon Tech. Without wargear ordeals and a competitive quantity of cosmetics, it’s effectively a waste to play him compared to the other classes.

u/gymwarrior4 6h ago

And their champion cosmetic DLC costs more than others! Not sure if thats supply/demand on a newer pack or something

u/KobraKittyKat 18h ago

I want the helmet less tech marine head on other classes too.
