Lemondish Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I use Sicarans with my Primaris and they look awesome next to them. A lot more fitting, size wise. I'd love a hover Sicaran variant for the Primaris, in plastic. I don't understand why several of you want hover stuff. Guess that'll just be differing opinions Some space marine players secretly want to be space elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that'll just be differing opinions Eh I don't really WANT hover stuff for Marines. It's just what I expect we'll be getting so I adjust my wishes a bit in that direction. ;) Also as I said I'd prefer if repulsor technology hover stuff would work differently than anti-grav hover stuff on the board so it indeed isn't a copy of xenos stuff and ancient relics.

I'd love a hover Sicaran variant for the Primaris, in plastic. I don't understand why several of you want hover stuff. Guess that'll just be differing opinions Because I want a clear distinction between Guard and Astartes. Also, now that I've seen the Repulsor in person it simply looks awesome hovering over it's base and I want more stuff like it. I don't want to see Rhino style cheap, low tech transports. Astartes should have access to teleportation just like Every. Other. Faction. for cheap redeployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Access to more deep strike is key. I worry less about redeploying because our base weapon ranges are one of our strengths. I would prefer veteran inceptors with more weapon options than jet bikes. I just think we'd overlap with custodes if we got them. I do hope for some primaris stratagems, for example one that would allow repulsors to deep strike (and maybe disembark like drop pods) would really fulfill a lot of hopes. Another for gravis armor units that allows for a charge after an advance would be helpful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbienw Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The rhino low tech, as if lol. It’s got a self repair system and it’s engine can run on multiple fuels. It’s a basic utalitarian transport, but low tech it is not. It’s a battle taxi for zipping marines about from location to location. It’s one of the finest creations from the age of technology!

Ishagu Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yet they are the most unimpressive transport in the game in performance and looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 What has your opinion of how they look and how they perform in the game got to do with your incorrect claim they are low tech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Lol the only things more low tech on a 40k battlefield are Ork vehicles (and those things are powered by psychic power lol) . Compared to a Repulsor or Sicaran a Rhino looks prehistoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The correct answer was nothing. But again you appear to be confused. It’s a basic apc for transporting. A valid military role. That doesn’t make it low tech. Comparing it to battle tanks and AFV with more weapons just means it’s not a battle tank or AFV, that doesn’t make it low tech either. In the lore, it is not low tech. Also, ork vehicles aren’t really low tech either, they are just built very haphazardly and are dangerous to the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Regardless .... Rhinos aren’t an option for Primaris and they don’t fit the Primaris theme of “new” tech. If there is to be an a proper APC for Primaris then it needs to represent something similar to the point piggy Repulsor. As someone else mentioned earlier (apologies for not being able to credit who) the Repulsor acts more likens tank than it does an APC. Maybe a more “realistic” wish would be for GW to strip out the turret wesponry and add carrying capacity. Selling it as a modularized vehicle that can be fitted for different mission objectives? Similar to how the STC for the Rhino is almost identical to the comparable Razorback and Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ishagu raises an interesting thought. While Deep Strike has always been available to Imperium in different ways, lately there seems a proliferation of it through newer rules and devices. It would be a huge toward making a Primaris only Chapter Codex to introduce a portable teleport platform Make it a Reiver equipment option. It would be placed and activated the same turn the Reivers grav-chute in and allow Primaris units to teleport in within 9” of the Reiver Teleport Homer While I’m wish listing Reivers are getting moved to Troop slots and given the Infiltration rule also. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM aren't a separate race, so they shouldn't be too different from IG in terms of aesthetics. They do have teleportation, naturally not as much because no Necron wizardry or Webways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I like that ideal inquisitor dracos. A teleport homer style device would be cool, and reiver as troops makes more sense they don't feel like an elite unit should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the reavers get a 1 off "Ghost hologram" equipment that allows them to redeploy once per game. i'd rather see some type of fast insertion/exfil vehicle that can be used to move primaris around the battlefield quickly.

autek mor Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 remove the -1 to hit from aggressor boltstorm gauntlets. if that is too "broken" for the meta then adjust the damage and AP. -2 rend and flat 2 damage would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game wide wargear rule of doubled up melee weapons providing one extra attack should probably exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Have I mentioned .... .... One man portable Heavy Gatling Cannon. - Intercessors - Reivers I'd add it as a Heavy Support specialist .... but there just can't be that much lead to farm can there? (just trying to think of non OldMarine equipment that adds something to NuMarines and yeah anti-tanks been mentioned FEW times along this road ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietOfLiquor Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Judging from the way things are, I doubt there'll be a heavy gatling specialists. They're mirroring their 30k counterparts in terms of tactics and how they're loaded out. However, I would love to see a gatling support squad similar to that of hell blasters! The bikes I can see mirroring Custodes... but 30k also has a distinction in load outs between custodes and regular marines. I'm hoping something like that. Instead of missiles and hurricane bolters, give us heavy bolters and plasma to make us deadlier, as we're probably not going to want to see hand to hand with ours.

Panzer Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As much as I'd love to see gatling specialists, I also don't think it will happen. We already have Inceptors with what's basically heavy bolters and Aggressors with bolter gauntlets for infantry dakka and the dread and repulsor with the onslaught gatling for vehicle dakka.

We already have Inceptors with what's basically heavy bolters and Aggressors with bolter gauntlets for infantry dakka and the dread and repulsor with the onslaught gatling for vehicle dakka. You know what could work? A special character unit with man portable onslaught cannon. I just really like the idea because it would look super cool. Maybe give it to the inevitable Primaris techmarine with a special rule for suppression fire, kind of like a Primaris take on the thunderfire cannon stratagem. But let's be real here. If that were to happen at all, it would be on a special Lt. model instead Gravis armour breachers with storm shields and stormbolt gauntlet for krumping Would be great to see them expand the wargear selection for the current active units while keeping with the Legion aesthetic where every squad is equipped with the same tools. Some Sword&Board Primaris would be great. Even better if it's in Gravis armour. Agreed. Or alongside Primaris shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think a Veteran kit which allows a selection of melee weapons and pistols would be well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
