Thanks for the feedback!
I have plans to do something similar to what you suggest by having a similar system to 40k: space marine where you can chose armour sets etc
I want to have 3 playable factions in the next big update after 8.3, adding orks and chaos space marines. Making the models is taking longer than expected but I should hopefully have the Astartes and Ork characters done by the end of the year.
Im grateful for comments like yours and people interest in my little project and have plenty of motivation to make this come to life due to the support ive gotten this year
Of course! the plan is to hopefully have all the major factions when the game is a full release. I do not plan to do just have the faction classes have same stats with a different skin/mesh, each faction will play differently.
Examples include the Orks will not be able to aim down sights and Eldar being physically faster as it fits with the characters in the 40k universe
