Wispy Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yeah Rowboat was going to be the only one they consodered. But there's such a massive fan expectation for more loyalist Primarchs they really should reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 And honestly I would be shocked if the didn't at this point the desires for russ and the lion have been heavily voiced by the community so it's not like the markets not there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwyf Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 they never were going to release just one primarch. Whoever said that was incorrect. Once you ripped off the primarch package you don't stop until all the living and demon ones are back as playable models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you ripped off the primarch package you don't stop until all the living and demon ones are back as playable models. so at the time around before rowboat's release, i was told there were no plans for further loyalists. I can confirm that. They didn't meant that in a "we're not going to do them" sense. They meant it in a "we haven't thought that far ahead" sense. Given were community expectations are it, I wouldn't be surprised if they planned for further, it's just a matter of how much time they need to make it happen.

Thats arguable I guess but regardless, it's popular enough and the story is provocative and interesting enough to assume they're not going to stop. Initial intentions don't really matter in the face of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of 40k lore in general (books as well as the games) this is horrifying. A major company should be planning things YEARS in advance Think the marvel cinematic universe (they have it mapped out far in advance) Think samsung and their phone releases (they already have future models ready to go and stage releases) Think intel and their processor releases (they already have future iterations and are slowly releasing product to keep a steady stream) For GW to haphazardly restore Guilliman and have someone in control of the IP not think about what comes next is insane *EDIT* Update...then again...this is the same company where the former CEO publicly said they are a model company not a game company (fans questioned where he got that info) and then separately said they don't do any market research (lolwut bbq seriously?)

I believe you were told that, perhaps my post didn't make that clear and I apologize. What I meant is that once GW made that decision to finally release primarchs in 40k there is no way they could stop with just one. It would be grossly unfair to thousands upon thousands of fans and players of other legions/chapters to not have their primarch back as well. So when Bobby G was put back into play by default it meant, at some point in the years to come, GW will have to release playable models of all the living and demon primarchs.

lonewolf81 Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 So they announced a bunch of sigmar stuff for next week, Two battle tomes, heroes , spells etc. It seems they are going a bit fast with the sigmar release and july will be left free for 40k Orks or wolves first, place your bets please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Orks:/ and that wolf-knight who is still missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Caldersson Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 So I was thinking. What if they released Primaris Blood Claw/Grey Hunters models and then did a how-to kit bash for Wolf Guard, much like they did for that Grey Knight Chapter Master walker thing. GW sells a single box plus extra bits from older boxes and we get variety of Primaris forces. I very much doubt it would be like this, but they did say that more "official" kitbashing would be a thing. Just trying to see how they could release a minimal amount of products for max effect. Orks or wolves first, place your bets please :) GSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Primaris Bloodclaws would be a cool kit and basically answer all the 'how do primaris fit in with this unique chapter' questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquigg Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 With regards to primaris, I always thought the whole "you start where the rest of us started" would apply. IE so we'd have a whole primaris detachment of blood claws. But I think they're coming in de-facto grey hunters regardless of battlefield experience.

I take it as, they are just their own thing, and in every chapter, they are at some level, outcasts at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Worth noting that Primaris aren't exactly young anymore. Centuries have passed. A lot of those Intercessors would be legit Greyhunters at this point. Hell Ragnar's not young anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aothaine Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Well that’s just stupid. That I want Space Wolves delayed or that I don't want Sanguinius back? I want Space Wolves delayed so I can afford all the collectibles. I don't want Sanguinius back because he is dead. He is not Vulkan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid to want something delayed that will be there when you apparently can afford it. Just weird to want something everyone wants to not exist simply because your not ready i guess.

Just weird to want something everyone wants to not exist simply because your not ready i guess. Fair enough... but I like collecting the GW dice and they are starting to disappear again. I've already lost out on too many of the dice sets so I was hoping to have enough time to make sure I can afford it. There is also a rumor that Abbadon is getting a new model with a release of Space Wolves. I know you guys have waited a long time for your codex. But I also know that everyone is selfish to some degree. My little bit in regard to this is that I want to make sure I can afford the CE codex and dice when they are released but also have enough to afford any new boxes that might come out. It is all good though. The dex will be out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Caldersson Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Spikybits/BOLS finally release a rumor, so don't count on it having any truth. It looks like the current release for non-codex SM, except for the generic "month of releases, alongside anither codex". I assume Ork vs SW that was discussed a few times. Below is the copy paste. Look for the Space Wolves to arrive mid Q3 All New Codex Space Wolves Primaris Sets Coming Data Cards “Ice” Dice Space Wolves are arriving in a jam packed month alingside another codex and a new 40K boxed game. Edit: I did talk to my gamestore manager here in Korea. He was saying that the Korean and Japanese sites were tracking the same time release as we were Sept/oct. Since this has aligned with so many other rumors and current release events, this might actually be true. Or one rumor just took and ran away with the world. *Shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwyf Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I posted that spiky bits rumor earlier in the thread that got zero response. I hope it is not that long. Telling us in June that we'll be getting our codex "Soon" is not five months later. It is at most 1 month later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
