2 | At the Battle Barge's Landing Bay area, approach and interact with the console overlooking the hanger to bring up the game mode menu.
ⓘ If you have just completed the intro mission, there is a nearby console you can access at the command bridge before taking the elevator to the Landing Bay. |

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.
As of Patch 3.0, it is possible to overwrite your custom color sets with the presets, effectively deleting them. To reset, select the custom armor set, hover over the preset you want to use, and select Apply to Custom Pattern.
How to Delete Custom Armor Set
To customize and change custom armor sets and pieces for a Space Marine class, access the Armouring Hall then select Edit Armor. Armor set pieces are selected under the Armor Sets tab. Armor Sets are initially locked and will have to be unlocked by successfully completing missions in Operations or winning matches in Eternal War.
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.
You can only customize and change Chaos Space Marine armor in the Eternal War PVP mode.
Unlock the Armouring Hall within that mode, select Edit Armor, then select Heretic Astartes on the right side to access the customization option for that faction. Currently, you can only change armor colors for the Chaos Space Marines.
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.
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.
