Liege Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Honestly, I'm not feeling the Primaris marines in regard to matching the aesthetic I associate with the Wolves. I'm very big on the Viking iconography and models like the Interceptor just don't do it for me. I'm starting to think perhaps I should keep my Wolves in 30k where they can be the true badasses they deserve to be and perhaps do a less....serious/heavily themed chapter for the Primaris range. What are other peoples thoughts? Can you see your companies adopting units that look like the Interceptor?

Garreck Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Gravis dude getting some hate in the 8th edition subforum...I don't get it, I think he looks great. I like the assault guys too, though honestly could do without gun-shields. Still on course to be a full and independent line-up. Quite sure they will fill in the line just like they did with the Stormcast.

sturguard Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm not liking any of the primas marine kits at all- the death guard are fantastic, however it makes things real cheap for me, keep all my existing marines and just play as primas if I want them and I have no desire to start a new army as I just started 1K Sons so all I need are the rules.

I say wolves pass on the starter box, unless you want to collect a new marine force or the nurgle marines. why? These are all "snapfit" style models, only a couple of parts, in order to do customization work it will take lots of converting and cutting work. as to not fitting the Viking Wolf aesthetics, they will. Shave off the imperial eagles, Put either Runes or a Wolf skull on. and a wolf tail and they fit in.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The Gravis armor does look like the replacement for TDA if you ask me. But it is just speculation at this point so I could be mistaken. Let's just all make the vow that if we use this Gravis guy that we remove the bone ornament. Too many "space puppy" jokes will be made. Even for a non-SW it is an odd place to put a bone... I really don't like the Inceptor squads or the Gravis guy. They look like centurions to me. I like or am impartial to everything else though. I am curious about the Primaris Ancient. Must be a marine that underwent the primaris procedure.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yea ancient was an odd choice for new dudes. But raised regular marines seems like a good guess. I too am in the camp of all good except the odd looking interceptors. If the fluff permits it looks like my wolves will get a squad or 2 of intercessors and one of the plasma guys and one of the lieutenants. But I will wait for the non monopod kits likely. If the fluff doesn't permit I might make a small 1k force with new colors just to have something different to paint.

They may just get units in Gravis instead of TDA, but who knows. I love the new jump pack troops! I've been told they're more like Flyers than Jump Infantry.

I refuse to believe that It may be their TDA alternative because to primarisize TDA armor would make it look really big. I don't know if it would be a good looking aesthetic. Maybe they went for something different. Maybe it has nothing to do with replacing TDA. Could be new artificer armor (...with a pyschic hood.... ).... We will have to wait and see.

Valerian Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Doesn't look like a Psychic Hood. I think it's just extra protection for the only vulnerable part on a Marine.

Ragnarr Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I like the jump ones - shields are strange but seem to be possible without them. They look like 30k destroyers :).

Grimtooth Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Snap fit just makes this too much of a Mary Sue release to me. Will have to see what is possible with individual kits. I am also now less optimistic of SW being Primarisized as I wonder how GW will justify the pack mentality voluntarily breaking up into smaller units to just be like every other chapter with Primaris Marines. As with all other starter sets, we haven't seen all the units. But I question if Primaris will have any assault elements at all or is that being relegated to the older Marine units/armies.
