This mod applies a Rubric Marine skin during operations, loading screens and time spent in the battle barge. However, you cannot change the color or decals.
In the loose files version, I have applied the following rubric weapon skins to other weapons:
In the prepackaged version, I converted the common skins of all weapons into their chaos equivalents.
This is my first ever mod, so hopefully all goes well.

Future Work:
I am considering adding the Rubric Marine Bolter ("chs_rubric_bolter" in the files) as a skin for the bolt rifle. This is similar to how the Astartes Overhaul Mod allows you to use tzaangor weapon skins. My attempts thus far have been able to load the model in the customization menu, but a different model (e.g. the standard relic bolter skin) is applied during an operation. If you have any idea on how to resolve this, please let me know.

Thank you to Mangoose1695 and WarhammerWorkshop. By inspecting their mods, I was able to learn how the Space Marine 2 files work so that I could make my own contribution.
In the loose files version, I have applied the following rubric weapon skins to other weapons:
- Rubric Bolter: All Bolt Rifles, All Bolt Carbines
- Rubric Heavy Flamer: Meltagun, Multimelta, Plasma Incinerator, Heavy Plasma Incinerator, Las Fusil
- Soulreaper Cannon: Heavy Bolter
In the prepackaged version, I converted the common skins of all weapons into their chaos equivalents.

Installing Loose Files:
- Download the Pakcacher mod for Space Marine 2 and a file unpacking program such as WinRAR.
- Navigate to your Space Marine 2 directory.
- Navigate to ~\Space Marine 2\client_pc\root\paks\client\default and open the file "default_other.pak" using WinRAR or an equivalent software. You should see a handful of folders such as ssl, tpl etc. inside the WinRAR window.
- Drag the "ssl" folder (note: ensure it is not compressed when you do so) from your file explorer to the WinRAR window to merge contents.
- Run "pakcacher.exe" on "default_other.pak" to rebuild the cache file "default_other.pak.cache." In Windows, this can be as simple as dragging "default_other.pak" over "pakcacher.exe" in File Explorer.
Installing Prepackaged Files:
- Navigate to your Space Marine 2 directory (note: folders "client_pc" and "server_pc" should be visible).
- Extract the prepackaged file folder and drag the downloaded "client_pc" folder into the the Space Marine 2 directory. If prompted, allow new files to overwrite older ones.
