Panzer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Very unlikely yeah. I'm sure it only tells the final moments before the Warpstorm swallows Leviathan and Guilliman arrives with the Primaris and as far as we know Dante was still alive then. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Nice to see Guy Haley writing more BA novels. I am not a huge fan of James Swallow's writing. Chaplain Gunzhard, Arkhanist and Blindhamster 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It would leave the whole Primaris/Roboute scenario aside, to fully focus on the Blood Angels VS Tyranids. Plus, it would open the way for another Novel, that would focus on the "second battle" and the aftermath, with all the Primaris/Roboute thingy. Â Also, given the sheer size of the Devastation of Baal, it allow for a galaxy of short stories for Blood Angels and Successors, and even specific Novels on other characters (Mephiston/Corbulo/Astorath...etc) or the Flesh Tearers (Gabriel Seth).

bc99 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 With Devastation of Baal slated for November release, think we'll see the Codex then too?  Hope Devastation of Ball is not an excuse to get rid of unique BA units/miniatures and replace them with primaris versions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BA ever see unique Primaris versions we'll likely have to wait for a later second release wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Grey Knights get their own Primaris versions. If BA ever see unique Primaris versions we'll likely have to wait for a later second release wave.  to be fair, whilst I agree we wont see any unique BA primaris (beyond an upgrade sprue) any time soon, your reasoning is flawed on why.  There are fluff reasons (for now) for there not being primaris grey knights - community people said there arent enough psykers amongst the primaris.  I dont think we'll see any unique primaris simply because I don't see GW favouring us with something like that soon, they'll put their focus on churning out codexes without miniature releases with a few notable exceptions IMO.  Due to the new approach of "rules in the box" they can easily release miniatures for any army they like, whenever they like.

Panzer Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 That explanation really only sounds like a bad excuse from GW tho. Grey Knights shouldn't have any problems to create Primaris from their usual recruits. And even with that bad excuse you could say the same for BA units. There simply aren't enough Primaris who've shown signs of the Red Thirst/Black Rage yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 BA will get devastated and the legion will be reduced to a score of half strength companies. Â Then Guilliman will cross the Warp Rift along with tens of thousands of Primaris BA who will defeat the Tyranids effortlessly. Â Then we will all rush out and buy Primaris models.

Â You heard it here first. We already know that that's not quite how it happened tho. Please contain your negativity, we all know that GW is abusing Guilliman as saviour of the galaxy at the moment. High time to see another loyal Primarch arrive so they can split their attention since it's apparently impossible for a non-primarch character to compete with Guilliman. ^^ Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Earp Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Played today only two ba units in an admech army. The firaptor and the leviathan. Â Fireraptor helped to destroy some genestealers and finished one chimera with its missiles. The Leviathan damaged the chimera with the grav flux. 5 damage per wound is ridiculous! After that turn he damaged pask with 10 damage and destroyed the other russ in one combat round! After that he got shot and charged by a baneblade but survived even this and got him 4 wounds with his drill. Sadly he wiffed the rest of his attacks in the next round. the baneblade drove next round out of cc and shot him to the moon. ^^ Â Admech lost despite the help of the bloodies. The Genestealercult had to much firepower with the corrupted guard utilitys.

sebs_evo7 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Played 2v2 yesterday, Tau and jet bike Eldar vs WE and my BA (ultimate heresy) I used all my assault marines as company vets so had multiple 5 man units deep striking with special weapons and charging. Also in true FLG style i jumped dante up the board with a pair of assbacks with sternguard in them We tabled them turn 3 which i felt bad about Watched Khârn eat his way through all the Tau and I'm not sure if even dante could stop him in 1v1 Riot Earp 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 What are people's thoughts on Defenders of Humanity or whatever it's called? Objective Secured in old money.  Space Marines have it – do Grey Knights and will we??  It will be a huge deal because by default the player with the most models near the objective claims it, but with Defenders you could have 30 Ork Boyz in range and a single Space Marine would still hold it...

Charlo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think most marines will. As they will be smaller armies and hordes are the winners this edition in terms of mechanics. Â Considering all codex marines have it on top of chapter tactics, it would be silly if we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
