Summary
A cleverWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2player has created a fitting tribute to the iconic DC Comics villain Deathstroke for use in the game. The sheer popularity ofSpace Marine 2has led players to employ the game’s armor customization systems to create homages to their favorite characters and games.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2might have only launched a few weeks ago, but it’s already looking like one of the biggest releases of 2024 so far. Despite the many years between the release of the originalSpace Marinegame and its sequel,the record success ofSpace Marine 2so far indicates not just the level of anticipation for the game, but how popularWarhammer 40,000itself has grown in the intervening period.
ThoughSpace Marine 2is best regarded as a high-budget, modernized game starring one ofthe most powerful factions inWarhammer 40,000,it does make room for players to add in their own preferences. For player organicaeonia, their preference was a Space Marine that looks like Deathstroke, a famed DC Comics character. Also known as Slade Wilson or Deathstroke the Terminator, Deathstroke is one of the most famous DC Comics villains around, and is a frequent nemesis of the Teen Titans and even Batman. Organicaoenia created a customized Astartes armor setup usingSpace Marine 2’s in-game armor customization tools to share with theSpace MarineReddit community.
Space Marine 2 Deathstroke Costume Maximizes Astartes Assassination Skill
While many customSpace Marine 2costumes tend to focus on creating customized color blocking patterns, organicaeonia’s Deathstroke-inspiredSpace Marine 2armor set takes advantage of the more unusual aspects of the Vanguard and SniperSpace Marine 2classes. While other in-game classes use armor designs that seem more like “standard issue” Space Marine power armor, the Vanguard and Sniper classes use armor that tends to feature sleeker silhouettes, skin-tight suits, and stealthier elements with less of a focus on hard, bulky armor plates. The lighter profile of the armor design, combined with the telltale orange-and-black two-tone color blocking, cleverly evoked the ninja-like outfit typically worn by Deathstroke.
FellowSpace Marine 2players praised organicaeonia’s attempt to capture the legendary comic assassin’s essence using in-game tools. One commenter jokingly called on Saber Interactive to implement the famousSpace Marine Terminator armor suitsinSpace Marine 2somehow, so that players can then create a version of Deathstroke that comes closer to the character’s full title: Deathstroke the Terminator.
