You probably are playing primaris, and didnt read that promotions are manual, check soldier tabs for promotions

Nah playing just Tactical Strategy, no primaris. Most guys are Brother marines but no ones advanced beyond that still.

Edit: I've got field promations turned on in the options, might try turn it off and see if anything changes
       
Edit: Ah ok I found it,  Manual Promotions is now on and unchangable in the options. Didn't realise. I should have been more observant. haha

Hey Hey, curious whats the situation with the new ranks, I have had like 30 guys at Brother marine rank for a while now, but not anything higher, would used to have at least a few Sergeants by now, maybe i'm just unlucky but the release said the badges system had changed so thought i'd ask whats new

Just doing space marines on the latest version 36

Hey hey, just started playing again after ages and did a fresh install of the latest version 36, and OXCE 7.9.8, with sub mods 40k StatStrings and 40k Cutscenes 33. Not sure if this is an issue for just me so thought i'd explain what a did to fix these minor issues.

I noticed the actual assault mark no longer displays, instead shows "{", obviously very minor but thought i'd let you know. Screenshot below of it. I changed it too an "X" in the "Statstrings40k.rul" file to fix.

Also the Cutscenes wouldn't work, showing the incoming vox transmission videos as if the mod wasn't installed. Found that the new "Videos40k.rul" file seemed to be looking for the vox video files of the main mod rather then the cutscene mod files. I deleted "Resources/ANIMS/" in front of each video file so it took the mod files again and now all works good.

i.e
"   - type: intro #c1
    useUfoAudioSequence: false
    videos:
      - Resources/ANIMS/intro.FLC
    audioTracks:
      - KYRIE"

into

"  - type: intro #c1
    useUfoAudioSequence: false
    videos:
      - intro.FLC
    audioTracks:
      - KYRIE"

Is the new update compatible with old saves?

Hey, are you supposed to be able to destroy the lowest level Traitor Guard bases by destroying the communications equipment which in the mission cinematic seems to be the radar dish? I usually just kill all the guard but tried to do it this time and I didn't get a message saying the base was destroyed and whenever I left the base was still there(I saved before leaving). I killed all but two guards that were trapped in the two inaccessable gun bunkers(dunno if thats a bug too?), so decided to go around destroying all the computers and anything communication equipment like on the map incase it was something else and was the same result. So if it is supposed to work that way it might be broken. I havn't tried the level 2 and 3 bases so don't know if they have a similar problem. Also I am only using the latest version, no mods. Posting Screenshots.

I assume its the same kind of thing as happened to Razer943 above so will try the same thing you recommended, but thought i'd put the error up in case it helps development. 

Yes changing the options.cfg worked, thanks

the iss
there is an easy way, chose the faction, save and close, edit  then on the save game with a notepad an add
      - STR_ADEPTAS
      - STR_IMPERIAL_GUARD_OPERATIONS
on the research

Hey, just wondering if this would work similarly if I wanted to play space marines with all the 4 strategies unlocked. Kinda wanna to do a playthrough where I can collect all the armors and craft.
