Following the revelation that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are getting a surprise Warhammer 40,000 crossover, a dataminer has revealed what the skins actually look like in-game.
Modern Warfare 3 dataminer TheOfficeCOD posted a video showcasing two Space Marine operator skins coming to Activision’s shooter, one from the Ultramarines chapter, the other from the Blood Angels.

While the Space Marines look goofy holding Call of Duty guns (these Power Armour-clad transhuman warriors are meant to dwarf the average human in terms of size and power), it sounds like they are reserved for use with the Juggernaut killstreak, which lets you wear a hulking, armoured suit and wield a devastating minigun. That sounds much more up a Space Marine’s street. Perhaps the Juggernaut's minigun will be swapped out for a Bolter, the iconic Space Marine weapon from Games Workshop's grim dark sci-fi universe.
Indeed, TheOfficeCOD revealed the Warhammer 40,000 skins are labelled as Juggernaut in the files, and suggests they are reserved for a limited-time event or special game mode. But, there are Space Marine finishers, apparently, which suggests an Operator addition.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are in the middle of Season 2, which promises a Juggermosh LTM in-season. This mode sees all players play as a Juggernaut in third-person, which would lend itself to seeing the Power Armour in all its glory were it to be aligned with the Warhammer 40,000 crossover. Modern Warfare 3 Season 2 Reloaded is set for early March.
