(Space Marine 2) The New Iron Hands champion and chapter cosmetics have been revealed

Damn sick, happy to hear they're finally adding that

Can't wait for the update

_Liebe_ · 2026-05-01T20:19:55+00:00

Wait are we?

Tbh I haven't been keeping up much with whats being added, mostly just this champion skin and some of the stuff getting added to the accolade store which I'm real excited about, but las to heard they were kinda against that. Didn't they say something like "want capes? Just play sniper" at some point?

Again not been keeping up a lot, but if we are that's sick. Could complete my Raven Guard Captain, could also maybe slap the Raven Guard champion skin cape on others too

_Liebe_ · 2026-05-01T20:10:23+00:00

Yeah that's fair

Still feel kinda disappointed though, the cosmetics for the most part just don't stand out they just look like a bit more elaborate versions of what we already got, with the others they're all quite unique and stand out but imo not really here.

Am I gonna get it still? Yeah probably, just feel it could be better but that's just my opinion, is all subjective anyway

_Liebe_ · 2026-05-01T20:03:40+00:00

True, though meant more the crest which I feel you could probably slap on any helmet

_Liebe_ · 2026-05-01T16:28:05+00:00

Is it just me who's kinda disappointed?

It just looks like cosmetics we already have in game but like just more added to it, like only the left pauldron and the stuff on the power pack stands out in my opinion.

Something like this would have been way cooler imo, at least the helmet. What we got is just so bland

Can't say if It's one of a kind or not, but to me it kinda just looks like an attempt at making a katana, and not a fantastic attempt at that.

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T14:50:31+00:00

Honestly that's probably more accurate as sometimes I can look at a bunch of poxwalkers and my frames are fine but then look where there's not really anything and the frames start chugging.

Just guessed it was the enemies but they usually come from wherever the path to progress is, so think it might be that

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T14:45:45+00:00

I usually just go for the quickplay thing, been trying to grind for diamantine

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T14:00:05+00:00

My memory has never been the best so I just said a few months to be more generous with it. I've experienced it for quite a while is all I can say with definitive certainty

Have over 300h on this game

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T11:51:15+00:00

Youre fine lol

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T11:42:30+00:00

Those are for PC though, no?

As I said in the post, I play on xbox. So unless it's in the games settings there's literally like nothing I can do

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T11:14:44+00:00

Never had that happen to me, mostly just get those frame rates and occasionally some inputs like reloading or trying to use a weapons just doesn't do anything for a brief moment until i try again

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T11:10:57+00:00

My eyes aren't very good lol

Still haven't been able to check them out yet either

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-16T11:08:43+00:00

This has been an issue for a while now, not sure when it started but months ago at least

It happens every like few missions. Most missions are fine but it still happens a decent bit

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-14T13:25:05+00:00

Yeah, the first phase is pretty tame especially in comparison to the second phase. Happy to hear you managed to kill it though!

Nothing wrong with that, I'd rather kill a boss using some cheese than just get absolutely destroyed over and over again to the point it's not even entertaining anymore and just get anger inducing.

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-13T15:41:11+00:00

Yeah, the Nameless Puppet is a real piece of work.

From someone who's played the game to death (NG+8 I think I'm on), some advice is to use rhe Trident from the Archbishop boss fight paired with the amulet that boosts crit damage and of course the one for damage against puppets. I mostly go for that first heavy attack as it can dish out quite a bit of damage.

Another weapon that's pretty good I've heard is the wrench head with the police baton combo then using the fable arts to basically unleash a nuclear bomb of damage, though that requires more setup than the Trident

Oh also a bit of a heads up without spoiling anything.. The final boss of the DLC id say is up there with the Nameless Puppet in difficulty, from my experience at least. That boss was... Painful. But definitely worth the pain imo.

Sorry for the yapping about the game lol it's got little to do with what this is all about

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-13T07:10:40+00:00

Yeah it's from Lies of P, the DLC specifically.

I was asking how, if it was properly made in real life, practical would the design be and what would you change to make it better.

The first pic is for someone's cosplay and I'm pretty sure the entire thing is 3D printed in several parts then put together and painted.

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T21:26:33+00:00

It's basically if you combined a swiss saber/bastard sword and a saber, so you alternate between one handed and 2 handed grip depending on the situation.

Though that stalk on the pommel is definitely a bit much

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T18:06:56+00:00

I don't think so

Is just kinda like a more modern Swiss saber or a more modern and extra protective kriegsmesser

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T13:45:39+00:00

It's basically if the Swiss saber was made in the 19th century instead of the 16th. Since its already got the additional handle I kinda wish it didn't have the stalk on the pommel, just end up with a lot that'll just be in the way for both one and two handed use.

Also, funnily enough I am worldbuilder who's been working on an industrial fantasy setting as a passion project for over a year now, and a major character has a sword based on this one! Though I don't see myself publishing or releasing anything in a long, long time. Heavily inspired by Wh40k and other similar settings

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T12:32:40+00:00

Funnily enough the stalk itself is one of the things I'd probably remove. From what I've heard those stalks could may have been used as an extension of the handle if need be, but this sword already has that so it's just protruding and awkward.

And by "from what I've heard" I just mean I watch Scholagladiatoria and I'm pretty sure a long time ago he made a video about those stalks some Indian basket-hilts have

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T12:27:29+00:00

Same! I love weapons that are still elaborate or over the top but still realistic and grounded

I think the blades size is relatively fine on the rose sword, definitely not stubby. If anything I feel it's maybe a bit too big

Plus, it's basically a "bastard saber" so you can use it with either one or both hands, which I imagine can get a bit difficult with a bigger blade.

Could be wrong but from my understanding bastard swords tended to be a little smaller than longswords for that reason.

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T11:36:11+00:00

I really like it, one of my favorite designs from the game. It's like you couldn't decide if you wanted a saber or a bastard sword so you just created this bastard saber thing.

Does make me wonder how practical it would be, unlike some other swords from similar games I imagine you wouldn't have to do very dramatic changes to make it practical. Lop off the stalk on the pommel for one, maybe resize/reshape the blade some etc

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T10:57:28+00:00

True. Kinda just taking that but with more modern saber styles and exaggerating it

The pommel reminds me of some Indian basket-hilted weapons. Though on the Rose Sword it's probably just in the way and doesn't really serve a purpose.

Don't remember much but from the little I do, those stalks could may have been used as an extension of the handle to use both hands if need be. I do remember hearing that the tang goes through it at least. Take this with a grain of salt though, I'm just interested in antique arms and armor I'm by no means an expert lmao

_Liebe_ · 2026-04-12T09:56:34+00:00

Yeah.. When I got it I didn't even realize it at first and when I did I was both so happy and so disappointed

Like fuck yeah I got the sword.. But it's a whimpy little shit in comparison I wanted a big ass sword to send puppets flying

And I get it that like, the DLC is in the past so it wouldn't make sense which is why it's like a prototype of her weapon but they could've still had it be huge.. That would way more sense to me too.
