Essentially I'm expanding load bearing as a system associated with the user/armor.  Each attachment point can accommodate certain load systems which in turn can accommodate quantities of items or a total volume.  I take a swipe on using a sling as well.

Let me know what you think.

 Kinda like it, although how about making the utility pouches more space-efficient. maybe a 1-3-5 litre capacity instead of linear 1,2,3.

 

I'm not to crazy on the calf and though mounts as these lead to Astartes starting to look like pack mules. I'd be perhaps tempted to levy a -1% Agi modifier for each of these ticks used.

 All good ideas, Siranui!

I was thinking 1/3/5 liter myself and thinking that 3 & 5 were **** big.  However I have to remember this is an Astartes-sized thing and not worry so much.

As for the thigh/calf locations, I wanted some storage off the belt and have seen such items modeled.  A knife by the boot, a pair of grenades on the thigh below the belt, etc.  Given that there are 6 total ticks in those areas I can see the -1% thing being acceptable.
