redmapa Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Do we reckon we'll get a model for the oft mentioned Overlord from the various Black Library books? Probably not in a while, its supposed to be the equivalent of a Thunderhawk and it took YEARS for FW to update their resin Thunderhawk and bring the Stormbird so I cant see them making yet another large flyer anytime soon.

Lemondish 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. Perhaps - at least by those hungering for more Primaris awesomeness. Others would decry it as the apocalypse. Just the way it goes with the nuMarines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Its said to be larger than a thunderhawk isn't it? Stormbird sized iirc. Looks a bit like the Corvus Blackstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yeah no way we're going to see a model for the Overlord when GW can't even deliver a plastic Thunderhawk. Maybe some day a resin model from FW but they have quite the backlog to work through by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think the overlord is just some thing for the lore that probably won't even get a FW release. It's supposed to be bigger than a Stormbird after all. From the teaser on the warhammer Community I'm guessing Tech marine and a battle tank are on the way. I'd love a techmarine in fairness.

Well hopefully but if after all these pages of wishlisting that's all we get I'm going to be a sad panda. I'm hoping there's an intercessor/tactical marine style reimagining of terminator myself. Like basically the same thing but upscaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Those vague rumour pics they post. One looks like a Techmarine backpack potentially, the other part of a vehicle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yep, those ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yep, those ones yep, to me, the design reminds me of a modernized "deoderant" grav attack tank. which would make for an awesome primaris MBT, just modernize the design, and it'd be amazing. as a parallel question, would a long range artillary infantry even suite the marines, or should that go to the astra militarum? in my mind I see a Primaris techmarine: - Servitor arm thing - Artillery back/soulder mounted, thermo neutronic mortars/grenades ( the thing that LE terminator had, the thermo grenades?) - also has a specialized transport/equipment, that makes the techmarine into a flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I would love it if the Techmarine was a dedicated Ranged HQ choice. All we have are guys with hammers, swords, etc. Let's have a HQ who repairs tanks but also lends fire support in the shape of some nifty conversion beamer/grav/las weapons of some kind.

Guest MistaGav Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'd like to see a Primaris techmarine accompanying a small grav-support unit next to him like a rapier gun or thunderfire cannon. An updated version of that in plastic would be pretty cool IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the techmarine actually BE the support unit himself, including the offensive firepower (or equivalent) of a rapier gun or thunderfire cannon on his person, not just accompanying him.

Lemondish Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yeah that would be awesome. I also like your idea of a heavy damage dealing HQ unit similar in role to the melee beatsticks, but from range. A Primaris take on the conversion beamer would be interesting as well.

Panzer Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Always loved the conversion beamer Techmarine even tho the rules usually were a letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I just want melee Primaris that aren't edgy. Get me a Veteran Melee unit with power swords and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShibeKing Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 On the opposite end of the spectrum, I want more Hellblaster style squads where the entire unit is loaded up with special or heavy weapons. I love plasma weapons to death and the Hellblasters are by far my favorite unit, but I want more! Also really like flyers and would like something similar to the Fire Raptor and a fighter/attack craft inspired by the Xiphon or Nephilim. I can't really justify having HH tech when my chapter is Ultima Founding... especially when they're designed to have the classics pilot them.

Triszin Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 I just want melee Primaris that aren't edgy. Get me a Veteran Melee unit with power swords and I'm happy. yea. I'd like to see something crazy like this. Options: Breacher sheild ( allows the ranged weapon equipped to be used as pistol,* if its a pistol it gets to shoot again?), invulnerable save or Repulsor sheild ( either -1 str of incoming attacks or adds +1 toughness), on charge roll of natural 6, deals 1 mortal wound, reduces charge distance of enemies by d3 Melta bomb Meleee things! Thermal lances, power eapons, CHAIN WEAPONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Arthur Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Veteran Primaris: 3 attacks base, access to power weapons and storm shields, option to equip Primaris jump packs (either just primaris sized jump packs or a gravis armored variant with inceptor gear) Primaris Transport: 6 Primaris capacity, one set of heavy weapons, does not suffer the hit penalty for moving and shooting, some sort of skimmer or gunship Primaris Drop Pod Melta based weapon option for aggressors And of course a black templar upgrade kit for primaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly who knows then that’ll be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
