New Ultramarines releases inbound?

[derLumpi]

Can you tell which units are in it?

[Prot]

I hope the Victrix isn't too cumbersome as a detachment. And by that I mean 8 models that cost 300 points or something silly like that. (I imagine it would include Sicarius as an option.)

[Captain Idaho]

What do we know of it? Source?

[Subtleknife]

Oh i wonder how the victrix guard will be done if true. I seem to remember in plague wars that the majority are now Primaris. But there are now sword and board primaris outside of the two new models.

[StraightSilver]

I'm now wondering if the 2 plastic Honour Guard we saw in the Calgar teaser are actually part of a larger boxed set?

I initially assumed that the Calgar box would include both models a bit like the Saint Celestine model but maybe they will be a separate release and include bits to make an Ancient and have other weapon options?

[jonjacob]

The though of primaris victrix would push me to finally collecting primaris, seahawk was this chapter approved or the new campaign book that you spotted it in?

[Captain Idaho]

I'd be out...

Are we allowed to link off-site news articles? There’s an article on BOLS that namechecks Garro, and specifically mentions the indomitus crusade veterans ‘detachment.’

 

From what I can gather these are effectively large scale stratagems that effect units with particular keywords within a detachment and are paid for with command points pre-game. I’ll be interested to see the bonuses these offer, and in conjunction with CA points drops might bring UM up a few rungs in the power ladder.

 

If primaris Calgar remains the same points cost but gets a stat buff he’ll likely see some more table time from me. Doesn’t fit with my army concept but I’ll probably pick up some primaris to keep him company.

 

Edit:

Been paying some more attention to Calgars new honour guard models and noticed a couple of interesting details. They’ve kept the decorative helmets from the old HG models, however correct me if I’m wrong but I believe these are the first primaris we’ve seen bearing the crux terminatus and 1st company colours. Possible lore update of primaris making their way into the first company?

I have my fingers crossed PriMarneus gets a stat buff and maybe some new abilities too .

[Ishagu]

In fairness Calgar is pretty great. T5 and extra wound would be pretty good boosts.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

He should be T5.

I think those honour guard might be Victrix Guard? So them being 1st company makes sense.

I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to be M5" T5 W7 A6 3+/4++ I bet he loses the 'half damage' ability but drops to around 140pts.  I'm hoping he goes to S5 base, but I'm not holding my breath.  Basically a souped up Gravis Captain.

 

Ohh, and he'll lose the Relic Blade for sure.

[Ishagu]

I'm guessing he'll be the same but movement 5 T5, halves damage, re roll all hits, re roll wounds of 1.
