But they can’t sell you blue then!
And orange! My god think of the profits!
I miss Dawn of War. You know…when we had army painters in a game from like the 90s.

Having army/gear painting system in a videogame set in universe that was created to accompany tabletop, main appeal of which is assembling, painting and creating your own custom armies? Preposterous! What else are you gonna ask for? Kitbashing?!

Next I was going to suggest that customizing your gear and attachments, minmaxing builds, etc…in a game derived from a game centered on minmaxing lists and customizing unit equipment. But I can see the error of my ways now. This is definitely not COD after all.

I played it… the system to generate your own colors for the uniforms of your armies was… excellent
I can’t believe that fatshark did not think about that… at least for paid cosmetics. The ability to recolor 2 main colors is really something easy to do that should have been part of the game…They could have also permitted choose options. Example, the red cosmetic of the zealot that you get from the penance has several candles on it. The white that they introduced in the last patch has not the candles. I hate them. But maybe someone would love them on the white cosmetic. This could be an option.

Imagine putting a system that lets you fully customize your weapons from optics down to making your gun vox operated in a game about inquisitorial operatives. That sounds stupid.

I think I speak for all Vet mains in saying that I would like the option to choose whether my armour has bullets strapped to the spaulders (or whether they have one spaulder, or none, or the Aquilla gorget, or load-bearing straps with personal vox unit, etc, etc). Heck, so many Veteran torso cosmetics feature bullets, why not have the option to swap them out for lasgun power packs?

Like almost every game with customization has color palettes separated from skins. Yet they add manualy colored armor sets of DIFFERENT LEVLES. Like i get it they want to milk whales by selling them some strange color camo skin first than they will drop some more popular like cadian green or PrEmIuM GoLd and people will buy it second time. But for a free skins?! If they will add more colors for every armor set, like full white for zealot 30, 20, 15 etc. lvl sets, it’s gonna be 9999 sets in the inventory. They are still rush in their development and doing unthoughtful decisions. Like login in any GaaS game and look how things are done and combine this in color schemes

It goes from free colour customisation (Dawn of War) to colour customisation with purchasable colour palettes or buyable skins with different/better colour layouts (Warframe) to purchasable single use colour dyes (Destiny 2) to purchasable colour but only for a specific armour type (Halo Infinite) to purchasable items only have that one specific colour but you can purchase the same skin with a different colour (Darktide). Bravo.
It’s not like there’s a drop pool they have to dilute by having more cosmetic items this way. It mildly amazes me that they can be slamming their heads against the same design wall that they slammed against back in 2018 with nary a thing learnt from it.

I don’t like them as well, still got 2500 Aquila laying around.
They don’t look worth the real money.
Actually, I wouldn’t even pay 1,000,000 credits for them either.

Or upscale a…tabletop model? You know, what these models are based off of?
You guys are just hating to hate at this point. These threads (Negative) get more attention than the constructive ones that actually offer solutions. Which further reinforces the fact that most people on the forum just want to bury this game.
Here’s a post about cosmetics I created about a month ago, which got largely overlooked and derailed for more toxic whining and dev bashing:

Just because i don’t like something doesn’t make it objectively bad. But i do not like that combination of cosmetics.
The multimillion dollar corporation doesn’t need you to white knight for it.

Example, the red cosmetic of the zealot that you get from the penance has several candles on it. The white that they introduced in the last patch has not the candles.
To be fair the white Zealot armor is based on the red one you get from “Up Close and Personal” which don’t have candles even on the original color. The one with the candles is the red you get from “Just A Flesh Wound” and there is a blue recolor available.
Same for the Ogryn and the Veteran: the white one is a recolor from the red armor you can get form the Malice level redacted penance, not the Heresy one.
Only the Psyker had the Heresy/Redacted penance armor recolored to white. (and to blue as well).

Calling the cosmetics trash simply isn’t true. The cosmetics look great in my opinion. It’s the price tag that bothers me. There is a massive spike in quality between the free cosmetics and the paid ones.

To be fair, Warframe is free-to-play.
Thus far I actually like the Penance/Commissary cosmetics better, at least for the Vet (with the exceptions of the Steel Legion set, and the extremely sleek Mortis Operative). 
While the sheer difference in quality is brutally apparent, some of the new sets we’ve seen have a ton of quality control issues like excessive clipping. This should absolutely not be tolerated for cosmetics we’re paying money for.
And to point out, Darktide’s monetization is potentially the least predatory on the market right now. The cost of a single bundle is less than $12, where Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are selling singular armor bundles and legendary skins for $25-30 a pop…
Just be thankful they didn’t commit to a battle pass.
Some of the penance sets are pretty clean and fun to mix and match with, but I think overall the premium cosmetics are (obviously) much more interesting and higher quality in general.
I got the deluxe edition for $10 off when it went on sale the other month and got a few things I really liked before the premium shop “went live” again.
I’m extremely disappointed that we’re already seeing day 1 cosmetics rolled back in on the first and second rotation of the shop with all the other things in the data files that we’re still waiting on. Those items have been in the shop for a solid 4 or 5 months at this point, so that’s where the bulk of the frustration stems for me.
At that point they should make the rotation every week if we’re just going to be seeing the same stuff on repeat.
My other big complaint that will literally never be addressed is how archaic the cosmetic system is in general. The fact that we don’t have a dye system to mix and match camos and colors makes the game feel extremely dated in that regard.

In my opinion, presets of some (not everything) showcases are wierd for people with little knowledge of WH40k universe. But certain parts, which actualy skins of outfits and weapons are done pretty well. Building components together with some in-game penance items and credit shop cosmetics can build some good or even awesome looks.
Another issue is clippin on certain heads and this is actual QA fault, but such things fixable with no harm. Also because of mods earlier and QoL updates lately we have preview option. Can’t say dev’s don’t care at all.
And as mentioned before, color schemes are bound to certain items, while in warhammer universe we have examples of chapters/armies with their own dedicated color schemes. Having Inquisitorial colors by default for all items and purchasable color schemes as options would be nice.

You called it “an upscale of a Lego model” meaning what exactly? You don’t like the Guardsman helmet? The guardsman armor? These are based off the tabletop models and are as close to accurate as you can get. Its not white-knighting. You’re just hating.

Yes. I am hating a cosmetic I do not, personally, like. I think it looks like upscaled lego. I think the striped pants are reminiscent of a lego person. I think the shape of the sleeves, the size of the grenades, the shape of the armor in this set. All of it conflicts and looks bad to me.
All of these look fine. All of these look like upscaled 40k models to me and are just fine.
You might not be too familiar with Warhammer, but maybe the pants are reminiscent of…
but its okay, you didn’t know.
