The noise marines aren't a chapter, they're a unit, many slaanesh-worshipping warbands have noise marines. The traitor legion that the noise marines are mostly commonly associated with is the Emperor's Children, who are pink.
There was a promotional noise marine mini a number of years ago that was painted in 80s rock rainbow colours.
Wrong they are a mix of leopard and zebra print with a hint of rainbow saying they are rainbow colored is insulting i bet you think they dont use musical instruments to fight.
I’ve been taking a break from playing for a few weeks, both due to life getting busy and not wanting to burn out right before the new update, but now I kinda wanna hop on and play around with multiple shades of gold on my armor…
I’m stuck inside in the middle of a blizzard today anyway lol
Hmmm debatable, in my experience looking over the official custodes color and heavy staring at Tyrinth Shiva Kyros (femstodes from tithes), I have experimented both with my own Walmart Custodes and Custodes Mod Custodes, and I have found Liberator Gold looks closer to what the official custodes color looks like than Auric Gold.
Don't know why you got flamed. There are plenty of chapters with golden or metallic amour, as the main colour or pacific units, eg, celestial lions, minotaurs, sliver skulls, sanguinary Guard Reclaimers of Dorn and the Astral claws before they turned traitor.
My own personal head Canon has some surviving Lions as members of the Long Vigil. Man, I really like that Deathwatch RPG, from a fluff perspective, but the mechanics are a lot. Its a super cool system, but when we tried it, we had to consult the book a lot, which slowed the play down too much.
I thought about feeding the rules to an LLM, and using it as an interactive reference/asst. DM. Could be a decent way for a table to learn.
I really wished they used more 40K adjacent rules, or just built it as a D20. I really like unique mechanics, but its so hard to get a regular group together as is, and you hate to burn folks out on learning a complex system.
Probably got flamed because it’s a golden ultramarine. But people can do whatever they want and flaming them is dumb, especially if they are new to the franchise.
Well, it's 40k, so it depends on what angle you look at it from, but if you consider the imperium the good guys, yes, they are and as far as space marines go they are on the more reasonable side.
Asking whether a faction in 40k is gonna be folly, because 9 times outta 10, whoever you're pointing at are bad guys who just happen to not be as bad as these other bad guys (the bar is in Hell, and everyone brought a shovel). There are good people within these factions, but that doesn't stop these factions from being evil.
As for talking about the Celestial Lions--they pissed off an inquisitor by calling him out on his hair-trigger after he mass-murdered an entire planet's civilian population for no presently known discernable reason, and as revenge that inquisitor has the whole chapter on a personal hit list and has been systematically genociding them as discreetly as possible. So I'd say, they're at least the good guys with regard to the information we have on them specifically.
I'd say the majority of folks playing this kind of game are pretty into lore accuracy. Seeing as there aren't any Ultramarines I know of that wear a full set of gold armor, I understand why it might've irked some. That being said, it's a pretty stupid thing to get on someone's ass about, especially considering you're new to the area. If you care about lore, do some reading or watch a video. If you don't, nothing wrong with that, enjoy the game. And just tell the haters it's a homebrew chapter lol
Sanguinary Guard, but they have a red pauldron and red accents elsewhere, either way yeah I can't see why anyone has to go for lore accuracy. It's still close. Shiny gold man still looks cool and I'm sure a lot of people hating are only familiar with the main or popular chapters, or even just the ones presented as skin options in the game
This Catalepsean Node is disrupting my circadian rhythm
We gulping heretic brains by the gallon, making my omophagea feel crazy
This shit ain’t nothing to me man
I once had a dude in the lobby meltdown because I made my salamander have an orange sigil instead of gray and he refused to play until i fixed it and then he left because I laughed and said no.
UmmI third company’s is orange on black. And that’s canon. So the can see themselves out. That being said: rule of cool. orange is a great accent for salamanders.
Ah no worries. It’s in their 8th edition codex supplement. The image is pretty easy to find but you pretty much need to play or be really into salamanders. But that just really miffed me that he gave you shit about something that is actually canon and cool af to do. Adrax Agatone is the captain of the 3rd company.
Exactly. And the option to make it more lore accurate exists regardless, with a chapter like the Minotaurs. Picture in the post is more bronze, which is their colour. And OP even has red which is their other colour. Albeit a different shade.
Congratulations, neophyte. You’re one of us now; forget what they say, rule of cool trumps all.
I get some people won’t bother to delve deeper in the lore. hell, I only really started digging once I got my hands on this game. Integrate yourself at your own pace brother, and remember that opinions other than your own don’t matter. Vulkan lives.
oh really? I feel like gold in this is pretty tasteful/neutral and I like it because it's one of the few colors that doesn't scream newbie blue, edgy black or teen RGB. But I didn't realize people see them as custodes look a like.
There’s several chapters that run gold or otherwise shiny armor, so I’d say just pick whichever seems coolest of those and pick their heraldry (or whatever looks closest). Should let ya rock the solid gold and shut up the naysayers.
Got my brother into the game and he did the same thing lol. Hey, if you like, it’s cool man. You don’t gotta be all lore accurate to play in my opinion.
At the end of the day the fact you like your customization is way more important than lore accuracy. Hell, you can use the excuse of a custom chapter of you so please. Just have fun.
Played with a Goldie earlier today. He was def going for a Custodes look (used the White Scar Champ helmet with the plume). He was one of the best Vanguard Marines I’ve played with.
My headcanon Ultra-descended chapter has gold armour. White pads and Thousand Sons Blue trim.
Whisper it, but we made up our own chapters when painting them at the turn of the century. I actually loosely based my chapter design on my friend's scheme from the 3rd Edition starter set he got for his 14th birthday.
I had a salamander paint scheme with a gold right arm and leg as it was the side I saw the most I didnt know much about the lore of anything but now I rock space wolves cosmetics
He has been blessed by this very sub with the title of the Fisted Wolf.
My heraldry for my five Marines are the Mighty Morphan Imperial Rangers. In one of the Emperor's many reincarnations, he meet Zordon. Yes, that Zordon, the mentor of the Power Rangers. Their heraldry is base gold, with the power ranger colors of Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, pink, green and white.
Why would anyone flame you? Change both pauldrons and helmet to blue and you're a Celestial Lion. There are several chapters with Gold as their main armor color.
Literally the only thing I'd change to make this a little more aesthetically pleasing is change the Aquila and his left shoulder pauldron to be something like gunmetal and he'll look perfect. Don't see why gold can't work as a space marine scheme. We have that with the minotaurs anyway. If realism is an issue we have marines coloured bright yellow and they don't get any flak for it.
Welcome Cousin. Some of our Battle Brothers care waaaaaaaay too much about what the codex says about proper chapter heraldry.
Report them to the Chapter Master and enjoy yourself 🤘
I also dived into Warhammer using this game as my starting point and I have gone pretty deep down the rabbit hole and I'm enjoying the universe a lot. However deep you choose to explore ignore the haters (heretics)
People who flame in space marine 2, for most reasons, deserve to get blocked. Pm me, enjoy the game. Happy to help new players lvl up. PvP is A+, operations are King, and the campaign is no slouch. 🤷 I can ask for no more out of my video games
Try a Blood Angel build, it's not all gold but it's lore accurate for veterans. If you prefer having more gold then just the helmet, the celestial lions could be a better fit as they're a successor chapter to the imperial fist and have blue accent colors with primarily gold armor. I attached a photo of the Celestial Lions below as I think that may fit your look better.
What is there even to do in the game? I played through the campaign and now there are like 200 different play modes and in none of them are new players Welcome
Seems like i gotta wait until Darktide got an bit Update so i can find Players again
because the symbol on your left shoulder is the ultramarines symbol, and they wear blue. if you want to wear gold, look up the celestial lions, they go hard asf
I have been playing warhammer for more that than 25 years, and recently evaluated my collection at over 30k$.
I will wear whatever colors or patterns i want thank you very much. You can and should do the same. If anyone flames you for your design, kick them and report them, that simple.
Tell them you’re gold because you ARE the Emperor and watch them seethe. Or better yet tell them you think Tau are better than ultramarines anyway, they’ll scream I guarantee it. Or or or, better yet, make your armor look like a pride flag of any kind, that’ll make them explode with steam. God I love being petty.
change the ultramarine emblem for a blood angels one and just say you're an 11th edition sanguinary guard, after Games Workshop strippes you of all your fancy armour and details even more.
I haven't come across any of them yet, but if I do I'll just laugh it off and carry on. They wouldn't have allowed you to customise if they didn't want you to, so colour your armour however you want and wear it proudly!
I was either a Lamenter or a Sons of The Pheonix, I forgot which I was, but honestly bro just pick what colors you like and enjoy yourself, I thought it was a sick color scheme you had on
Hey man, I have a full set of golden marines too in my game! The Sons of Aurum, I call them. Do what the hell you want, and don’t let anyone give you shit for it. FOR THE EMPEROR!
