Frater Cornelius Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm so excited for both of these units. I'm working like crazy on my Primaris units, but I'm going to be honest the appearance of the repulsor doesn't wow me.. .it might grow on me, but the giant dread really appealed to me. Can't wait. It looks far better if you skip the gatling on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 that might be true but to be honest I'm just dying for a valid Primaris Transport. At this rate I'll never go first in a game! lol Plus it looks like it might do some real damage. Still that dread... man it looks potent: PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW I think I'm going to need 2 of these.. depending on points.

Ishagu Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Dread makes me really excited. Finally Marines have a big Walker in the vein of a Riptide :-) Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Do we even know when tank and dread will drop? I want to use them in the summer campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 July apparently It would make sense, as I am sure many want to use them in the summer campaign, especially since the new book sports Primaris so prominently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thunder is that the old shoulder pad? I didn't think it would fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guiltysparc Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hmm, the tank and dread are coming in july then i would imagine we'd see the new space marine book at the same time? Gotta have a place to put the rules for those two units! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derLumpi Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 GW could easily put the rules into those boxes. ;) But I also think we will se a new SM codex shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thunder is that the old shoulder pad? I didn't think it would fit! It is for fact. They won't do on inceptors or the gravaris armor, but with a little converting it worked fine on the hellblaster. I'm torn about carrying on on the starter marines, or just wait for the standard kits this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 my local managed reckoned we'd get pre orders for tank and dread pay day weekend (1st of July) also, whilst I'm a Blood Angel at heart (and my primaris will be red) - we primaris marines are all sons of Guilliman, so hope you don't mind me hanging about and stuff round these parts! The standard pads all fit primaris really well, just takes a bit of trimming to use them, you've done a good job above!

Marcus Arias Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just noticed something about the Big dread. It says 'Epathus' on his sarcophagus, wasn't Epathus the captain of the 6 Coy? Would that mean he's snuffed it and been reborn as a Leviathan Redemptor Dread? roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) By the way, new stuff. I am so hyped. Primaris are getting in shape for the sumer campaign. Librarian is exactly what I wanted. Might of Heroes on the already tough Marines will be a real treat. Also, Call of Duty Guilliman: Ghosts Edited June 25, 2017 by Immersturm Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 What are these Reivers? Scouts with 2 wounds? I'll have to see what the rules are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ya, i'm curious how they go with them. I'm thinking either a lower point troop alternative to intercessors or an elite unit with some special rules that make their stealth armor, suppressed pistols, and knives do something better than a regular bolt pistol/ccw load out. Given the pistol/knife combo though, i'm leaning towards for the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShVagYeR Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 My FLGS owner mentioned today that those Reivers are going to be priced similarly to these guys so even though I didn't want to add anything to my sizeable painting queue, I think I'm gonna snatch a box of those. Lovely models imho and I really liked their depiction in Dark Imperium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Castellan Mik Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've been reading the discussion re the squad breakup based on the transfers in the box Dark Imperium. It shows squad markings for 3, 6, 9, 11, and 13... what the Codex states (rule book) 10 companies, each of which is made of 10 squads (of 10 warriors), however, as we know from Index Imperium 1 ... a squad of Primaris is either 5 or 3 warriors (for relevant squad). It has never said... 100 warriors, broken down into... so many squads to equal 100 warriors. Up until 8ed, only the 1st Company when fielding only Terminators could split the 10 man squad into two teams of 5... they were described as 10 squads of 10 warriors, or 20 teams of 5 warriors... one version OR the other. So, to say that a Primaris Company is more than 10 squads regardless of how many warriors, is fundamentally different and would have nothing to do with player fluff creations.... unless you have a Battle Force, which is an unlimited mix of squads, demi-companies, and the like, Waiting for the SM or Ultramarine Codex for 8ed to confirm major changes for Primaris... or not. Till then, I am following main Codex... Gulliman has indicated in Dark Imperium novel that 11 Companies is OK, multiple Chapters instead of one is OK, mixing Primaris with standard SM is OK... but no real fluff to base player decisions on, yet. My plan is to reinforce the 4 Ultramarine Battle Companies with Primaris Marines by fielding 4 battle demi-companies of Primaris... and maintaining 4 battle demi-companies of standard marines... Still a total of 4 full strength Battle Companies. Mik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Wow that sounds like a lot of thinking on your part! I definitely agree Guilliman has opened the book up on those chapter configurations. He's admittedly done so out of necessity and he cites many critical losses of the Primaris since Cawl first introduced them. The novel has been a real eye opener and this Guilliman has changed since the old days. I'm finding it very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
