Required Astartes Heraldry
Main Colors	Khorne Red (World Eaters) Nuln Oil (Omega Marines)
Tertiary Colors	Wild Rider Red (White Scars) Corvus Black (Iron Hands)

Customize armor colors to your preference or based on an existing chapter. You can look towards the Space Marine chapters not yet featured in the game for inspiration, such as the Flesh Tearers, successor chapter of the Blood Angels.

You will most likely come across armor colors that you can match, but you may find emblems lacking in the game since most are fixed to specific chapters. You may have to wait until any of these chapters are officially put into the game's Astartes Heraldry catalogue to get accurate emblems.

Changing to a Custom Armor Set

Changing custom armor sets is similar to changing custom armor colors, but simpler. Select any of the 4 Custom Armor Set slots at the bottom of the Armor Sets catalogue then set the armor piece for each part.

How to Customize Chaos Space Marines

How to Unlock Armor Customization

Unlock Armor Colors at the Astartes Heraldry

All Chapter items, as well as their short lore or history, can be visited in the Heraldry.

Armor colors and armor set pieces can be unlocked for customization by buying them with Requisition points from Chapters at the Astartes Heraldry. All of these customization items are purely cosmetic and do not add anything to gameplay.

Within each Chapter set in heraldry, you must buy the first item from the left to access the next item going right, from top to bottom. Once bought, these Chapter items will be available for the custom armor of all classes.

How to Get Requisition

Unlock Armor by Winning in Operations or Eternal War

Armor sets and pieces are unlocked by achieving victories in either Operations PVE mode or Eternal War PVP mode. Individual armor parts in Armor Sets do not require Requisition points and are unlocked automatically as you win missions or matches.

An exception to this method are some Astartes Heraldry armor parts that require Requisition points to be unlocked, such as the unique helmet for the Black Templars.

Unlock through Season Pass or DLC

INCLUSIONS
Ultramarines Cosmetic Pack (Power Armor Skins)

Additional armor colors or armor set pieces for customization can be unlocked through a Season Pass or DLC. The Ultramarines Cosmetic Pack is one such example that adds more armor colors to the customization catalogue.
