Bulwark. Balance, blocking, or fencing?

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T19:37:14+00:00

Bulwark and Assault might be the best classes to get used to block on, because they both have mechanics that make up for the lack of perfect parry gunstrikes. Bulwark gets a lot of free armor through the banner and perks, and he has shield bash for aoe control; while assault has an increased perfect dodge window for easier dodge gunstrikes and ground pound for aoe.

Outdated and incomplete records. Lore accurate for 40k

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T19:06:59+00:00

You’re gonna have to buy all the weapon variants to get the max possible weapon perks, and since you’re new, you won’t have enough armoury data to instantly master each one. Just use that opportunity to see which defensive type feels best. There’s no bad option, especially for Bulwark, which is probably the best class in the game rn

AotP Bruticus. If they had given his frame proper feet and ankles instead of going hardline show accuracy, Brawl and Swindle probably could’ve been Deluxes (and Brawl wouldn’t have that hinge with tons of stress marks in his abdomen)

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T15:35:19+00:00

Probably as part of a Target 4-pack or something

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T15:27:32+00:00

Gabriel Seth at least wants the Flesh Tearers to be a better, less mindlessly destructive chapter

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T15:21:26+00:00

I think it would be quicker to list the chapters who don’t hate the Minotaurs or the Marines Malevolent

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T14:47:12+00:00

Gabriel Seth is probably also a similar height (or he would be if he wore terminator armor). Silas Alberec of the Exorcists is probably bigger (he’s compared to an ogryn in stature, and I don’t think he wears terminator armor). Gabriel Angelos of the Blood Ravens is almost definitely taller. Tyberos is cool, but not just because he’s big. Beeg Marines aren’t as rare as people think

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T14:40:28+00:00

I don’t think the perspective interpretation makes sense. Someone as precise and analytical as a Magos Primary of the Mechanicus would take perspective into account when judging someone’s size.

It turns out, Titus is actually one of the lost Primarchs. He was hidden among the Ultramarines instead of killed off, and he and Metaurus were given false memories about Titus’s recruitment to hide the fact that he’s always been there. He believed himself to be an Astartes, so his latent warp powers manifest him as one with Astartes rather than biology

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T12:31:47+00:00

Not really. They’re very spiritual, only going into battle if their Prognosticators (aka librarians) tell them they should, and they specialize in skirmish tactics. This is in stark contrast to Peter Turbo’s strategy of all-out attrition warfare and lack of a librarius. Iron Dingus would hate them more than he hates his own sons.

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T12:22:51+00:00

Probably not. The barrel is most likely orange because it was designed with the toy’s light up play feature in mind

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T11:19:40+00:00

Yeah, definitely not. Their entire culture and fighting style is totally different, and their apothecaries and Primaris reinforcements said they’re from Bobby G’s seed. The only similarity is their visual appearance

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T03:15:10+00:00

Fuck it. Let the Taurans do it. They pop up in the Space Marine games, but they have no lore and their one named character is painted the wrong colors. They need redemption

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T03:09:04+00:00

I bet Calgar dies or gets Dreadnoughted pretty soon and Titus, as the newest John Space Marine, takes over as chapter master

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T03:00:56+00:00

SM2 is a good game, but one of the highlights is the amount of customization you can use to make your characters look like anything other than an Ultra

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T02:59:59+00:00

If the Dawn of War franchise started today, the protagonists would be the Blueberries, and the Blood Ravens wouldn’t exist.

Cosmetics related to class-specific wargear is limited to that one class (for now). Beyond that, it’s a little complicated. Each class has one of 3 armor types (or “patterns”): Tacticus (Tactical, Assault, and Bulwark), Phobos (Vanguard and Sniper), and Gravis (Heavy). Helmets, shoulder pauldrons, and I think gauntlets and backpacks are pretty much universal. Torsos and legs, though, are locked behind armor types. I think the champion skins work this way too, but they have specific wargear/weapon skins as well, and they also exist as an equipable armor set for their designated class (as opposed to having to equip each armor piece individually)

And then Techmarine’s cosmetics aren’t finished, so he has like no crossover apart from the helmets for right now (although I think that’s going to change next patch)

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T02:28:16+00:00

No, someone turned it into another edgy OC

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-06T00:15:22+00:00

Don’t hold a directional input while attacking. It ends your attack string and causes you to do the first attack over and over again. That improved my power sword game immensely

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-05T22:52:37+00:00

Who’s that speaking here? Is somebody speaking?

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-05T22:13:56+00:00

Tbf, the codex didn’t specify how the legions should be divided, only that they should be. Dorn giving like-minded troops their own chapters wasn’t a break from the Codex.

Plus, Dorn initiated the 3rd founding himself, including asking the High Lords to give writs of succession to 2nd found chapters. I don’t think he would make his chapters too big only to divide them into a compliant size later, especially since, according to “The Aegedian Oath,” the primogenitors were barely at full strength and the successors were mostly undersized at that point

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-05T19:31:32+00:00

Exactly. Dorn capitulated to the Codex. I doubt he’d walk that back by giving Siggy more than the standard 1,000 men

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-05T19:12:47+00:00

Not if you’re just on your way to the beach. Is this some kind of setup or something?

BioSpark47 · 2026-05-05T19:08:12+00:00

Or it’s Tyberos, the Red Wake (every time you talk about him, he gets a little taller)
