DietOfLiquor Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hey guys, Just wanted to ask, how do you guys like to run your IF with pure primaris? Any units you fancy most? I'm finally about to take the dive into 8th with a successor chapter and wanted to see what others thought about all primaris chapters.

Kisada Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Does your meta play with enough terrain? Because if they do ... its lovely reminding your opponent that the Sons of Dorn DON'T CARE about your cover save. Other than that I didn't really find the IF really give much else ... better vs buildings ... whoopdeedoo. Bolter Drill ... meh. The Spartean ... meh. Architect of War ... meh. I liked Storm of Fire warlord trait. Also its definitely worth it to upgrade your captain to a chapter master ... Dorn ... please come back soon! I'm currently thinking of painting up my FW Dorn and using him as a counts as Guilliman and running my primaris Fists with Ultramarine tactics. Edit: FYI I have an all primaris Imperial Fists army and I don't play competitively ... actually don't play all that much at all lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345518-pure-primaris-if/#findComment-5040629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more or less and narrative player, I just wanted to see what were some go to units for IF Primaris. But then again don't get many options, so may as well get them all, hahah.

Sete Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'm currently flirting with a pure primaris CF force. 1 Captain with Sword of Vengeance (fist of Vengeance rules) 10 Intercessors 1 Redemptor. It's around 500 points for a quick start Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345518-pure-primaris-if/#findComment-5045456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersir Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Helblasters are the best unit overall. It is usually a good idea to bring two units. The standard helblaster works best. Intercessors also work surprisingly well if you keep them within a Captain+Lt bubble. Remember the grenade launchers. I find the regular rapid fire guns are usually most effective for bubble use. The Redemptor dreadnought is good and the inceptors with heavy Bolter are often useful after the price reduction. Aggressors are good charge deterrents with flamers. Reivers are good value. Always take a Captain and Lt for the buffs. The Repulsor is tough and draws fire but very pricey if you kit it out.

LucidNinja Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm playing in a slow grow league with a pure primaris celestial lions army (with 1 techmarine). It had trouble at the 500 point mark but has improved with the 750 and 1000. Hellblasters are always amazing and intercessors get the job done. 1 captain, techmarine, 3 intercessor squads, a redemptor and 2 hellblaster squads is my 1k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345518-pure-primaris-if/#findComment-5047301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I've currently got a captain with two lieutenants, an ancient, a librarian and a chaplain then two ten man intercessor squads, five hellblasters, three aggressors, a dreadnought, a repulsor and ten reivers. I've got a further five marines with power swords but I'm not sure how to play them. I'm thinking of buying another ten man hellblaster box and building five with plasma and then five with the forgeworld rotor cannons. I'm not sure if it can be used in game but I reckon they will look awesome and I can always play them as one of the hellblaster weapon variants.

swordofmandulis Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 My next project is all primaris Crimson Fists. I'm going for Captain with powerfist & plasma pistol (fist of vengeance) Lieutenant Ancient Librarian Apothecary 4x6 intercessors 3 aggressors 6 inceptors 10 hellblasters 2 x redemptor Comes in at 2k. Will drop to 3x5 intercessors and add in 5 more hellblasters when I have them. Don't expect it to be competitive but will be cool and fun. Primaris captain with fist of vengeance, imperiums sword and might of hero's is no joke in combat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345518-pure-primaris-if/#findComment-5123309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
navitude Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 P. Cap + MC. Stalker + PS + Storm of Fire (Normal Lists) + Architect of War (Hordes Lists) P. Leu + MC. Stalker 3x 10x Intercessors = BR + PS + 2 AGL P. Ancient + Standard of the Emperor Ascendant 3x 10x Hellblasters = PP + PI = just over 1800, been playing around with the last 200 for months now. Librarian seems to be my go to though. 120+ wounds all lined around the banner in a spiral. Wound allocation to all models within range of the banner moving out wards, triggering a lot of last stands. Then during my movement i move forward and tighten the spirals to repeat. Captain and Lieutenant are a bonus. Librarian is great with NULLIFICATION SPHERE OF ULTIMATE DEATH THINGY BY PLASMA! and Fortress. Warlord trait, storm is good for elites armies, but architec actually helps out in mitigating wounds in the long run against hordes.
