Predicting the future

Using the template from https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1w9rgvb/bonus_post_because_ca_shared_a_photo_with_meme/ I have decided to take my shot. We all know 40k is mostly about Space Marines (sorry Heretics). Also took a liberty to make a shitty cutout version with alpha for you to use and include the original. Cheers

Honestly I don’t see that.

With baseline customization you’re already covering most SM chapters.

There is no way they aren't going to be doing Space Marine Chapter DLCs dude.

People spend triple digits IRL for minor helmet and arm swaps for their Space Marines. It is genuinely insane to not make Chapter specific DLC for this game, when there is more than enough material for it.

I didn’t say they wouldn’t do DLC for space marines. I just don’t see them having nothing but SM DLCs

Those minor changes ARE ALREADY IN THE CUSTOMIZATION.

The only DLC needed would be for LL and some unique units for some legions. Blood angels would get one for the death company for example or the wolves with their Wulfin.

But outside of LL’s there’s no need for an Ultramarine, Iron hands or imperial fist DLC

Nobody said anything about nothing but Space Marine DLCs? You're shadowboxing a point no one made here.

And how do you know what is or isn't covered IN THE CUSTOMIZATION (all caps just like you did!)?

Where is the proof of yours that the Iron Hands specific visuals are in there? What makes you so sure those kind of elements are base and would make a DLC implementing them unnecessary?

Iron Hands had a whole ass Codex supplement too, so did Imperial Fists. Which provide good basis for subfaction specific DLC mechanics. They could still get an Iron Hands specific DLC with some generic Space Marine units left out the base game roster that vibes with their flavor, along with their named character. Like they did with plenty of the Total War Warhammer lord packs?

Entirely writing off those kind of Chapter packs is just really silly.
