Each class will have its own set of pre-made armour sets that can be unlocked in PvE mode Operations and PvP mode Eternal War.

Players will also have the option to choose between in the Astartes Chapters tab, where you’ll find presets based on “many legendary Space Marine Chapters”. In addition to that, the game will, of course, also offer the option to create your own custom armour sets, letting you choose between different options for your helm, pauldrons, breastplate, wargear, gauntlets, and greaves, all of which are also unlocked through the aforementioned PvE and PvP modes.

Additional customization options for all armour sets – premade or custom – will include different paints, emblems, and colour patterns, all of which are unlocked in the Heraldry menu, while players will also have the option to creare their own custom designs. Heretic Astartes will also be customizable for PvP, with each class being tied to a different Traitor Legion, with various colour pattern and emblem options being available here as well.
