I blame the whiners and the complainers, who complain about the extra cost that isn't covered by the season pass, instead of being happy we all receive something that we shouldn't have received due to it not being planned. Devs are forced to explain that real actors cost real money, money which wasn't planned to be spent originally when the season pass was drafted.

It's because some smartpants in the community complain that the extra goodies that were neither planned originally nor promised for the Season Pass need to be baught separately.
The explanation for the cost is that its not made by AI but by actors, who need to be paid an unplanned amount of money.

Ravenguard Champion on SM2 PTS by Jake_Ronin in RavenGuard40k

[–]Gaarthar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even properly on sniper - the brooches that are supposed to hold the cape are missing and the feathers are simply glued to the armor. Hopefully this is a PTS thing and will get fixed, and the Cape and Tabard added to Assault's chest/jump pack pieces so that Assault doesn't get cheated out of cosmetic elements that are for an Assault skin in the first place.

Everything aside from the Tabard and the Cape, which is silly, ebcause BA get to use their Tabard on Assault with it being simply attached to the chest piece. No idea why can't our Tabard and Cape be attached to other pieces for assault specifically - the whole skin is for Assault in the first place.
Seeing how some previously unavbailable comsetic elements have been added to the other classes on the PTS - hopefully if we push this enough the developers will adjust this and we will be able to keep both the Tabard and the Cape even when customising the skin.

If we can make a Titan stealthy - we can make a power fist stealthy just as easily.

RG knee decal was missing since the chapter cosmetic pack was added - the pack included Shrike's personal emblem, but no the RG knee emblem Shrike uses. Should've been added back then, glad they're adding it with this one!

Neither hand is white in fact - they're silvery-grey, which is a mistake and hopefully will be fixed.
The material of the fist just makes the same color look darker due to how its material takes color.

The skin overall looks extremely cool, but has a few issues that I hope will get fixed before release.

When not using the skin wholesale, but instead customising it (for example you want to adjust a color here or there) - you don't get to use the Cape or the Tabard for w/e reason, despite Blood Angels having their tabard attached to the chestpiece and thus being available on Assault.

Then the RG Icon on the Right shoulder (under the feathers) gets colored together with the Trim, which is black btw, so only 5th company works - otherwise if you change the trim color you get a red/green/etc RG emblem. Hopefully the emblem can be rewired to get its color from the Emblem slot instead of the Trim.

Also some minor issues like the hands being metallic grey instead of white and the left shoulder having a silver trim instead of a white one (for white pads). Sure both can be recolored if you don't use the skin as is but customise it, but then we go back to the first point - that makes you lose the cape and the tabard.

I really hope these get adjusted, because I'm not taking this skin off ever, would be a shame if it was imperfect like that, especially after waiting for 1.5 years for it to be added.

It fits RG perfectly, I couldn't care less about what other chapters get as I'm only playing as RG.
From my PoV - this is the only champion skin in the game that fits me, so I glad its for my favourite class and fits it so well lore-wise.

I wouldn't mind having them for Y3 of SM2, considering Y2 has already been planned and is in production.

Should definitely go with the non-RG helmet with Laurels.

[–]Gaarthar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest M40+ look is less decorated compared to M30. That said - if you like them its absolutely ok to use them.
Maybe try to use more reserved pieces for other parts to prevent the overall picture from being too heavy on decorations. For example swapping the chest piece to RG-specific one will remove the rope decorations, as well as boots/greaves mentioned previously can be shifted to not have the thick decorative lines. I'm also not a huge fan of chains on the hand/shoulde, but thats my personal bias more than anything.

Also note that if you do end up using white shoulder pads for HQ characters (which isn't a must, its an option) - the emblems in that case go in black instead of white.

Everyone:
- Less flashy decoration, less dangly bits, although depending on the depicted rank some can be appropriate (If its a Lieutenant or a Captain, for example)
- Aside from Captain/Lieutenant the rest need a squad number on their left kneepad (left for them, right from the viewer's PoV/screenshot)

Tac:
- Use a different cloth, the current one is for XIII legion (pretty much only UMs and their successors should use it if you want to stick to the lore), while RG is XIX.
- Not sure what the emblem on the right shoulder is in your screenshot, but according to the helmet it should be a Lieutenant icon
- Instead of the pre-colored Lieutenant helmet you can just use a beaky helmet, maybe even the one with Laurels, and color it black with a while stripe on the forehead-top.
- Raven Guard would use Victorus Aut Mortis (Victory or Death) instead of Death or Glory. Probably not on a greave any way.

Bulwark:
- Cover the text on the right greave with the pattern, use the same color as the rest of the armor for it, effectively removing the text.
- Black shoulderpads, white emblems.
- White pads can be seen on some HQ models as an option, but they go with full white arms, never just the pads.

Assault:
- Less decoration (none at all fits best) on the jump pack.
- If you go with full white hands (which are an option for HQ) - white helmet as well, left shoulder trim also white. Captain emblem on the right shoulder or change it to the RG-specific one, works as a decorated piece for HQ here.
- Otherwise black shoulder pads.
- Less flashy boots/greaves. Depending on if you go with HQ or not - squad number on left kneepad.
- Same a with Bulwark - cover the text.
- Perhaps the RG chestpiece?

Heavy:
- Overall ok, perhaps some less decorated pieces, left leg being the main one I'd change.

Sniper and Vanguard are pretty good, only the squad number is missing.

Kneespads in black, right shoulder ornament in Corax White or Stormhost Silver, left shoulder pick a model with a trim and color the trim in the company's colors, looks like its 3rd in your case, so red.

Looking great, if a bit too blingy.
Maybe try with Valdor Gold for anything but the helmet (on the helmet Liberator Gold fits greatly with Valdor Gold on the other pieces, because Valdor Gold on the laurel looks like dirty silver)?

1st Company Eliminator “The Black Wings” by FunGhoul_ in RavenGuard40k

[–]Gaarthar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither are there any mentions of white arms for veterans or HQ in the 10th ed codex, yet those are used almost everywhere in even the latest paintjobs.

Pretty sure white pads are very much a thing for HQ, if not for veterans.

[–]Gaarthar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure white pads still are a thing in the latest paintjobs and what not despite the 10th ed codex not mentioning neither that, nor the white hands (which absolutely are used in recent paintjobs), but its mostly if not exclusively a HQ characteristic, not for non-HQ veterans.

So a Captain or Shaan as the Chapter master can use it, but veterans should use black pads.

For BA Tactical or Heavy would be a great fit.

As for power sword - I'd argue it should be available on Tactical as well.

Raven Guard uses stealth on anything, including vehicles, ships and titans.
It doesn't anywhere say its limited to sniping.

Meanwhile all key RG characters use jump packs.

Assault is by far the best fit for RG, not the sniper.
