Panzer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Well to answer that we'd need to know the planned release schedule for Primaris I fear. Could be anything between a few months (who knows what exactly wave 2 is) and a few years.

Felix Antipodes Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I also think it will be used as a way to "retire" some special characters that they don't want to transition to an updated model for sales and/or fluff reasons.

It was actually just a rhetorical question, but thank you I also think it will be used as a way to "retire" some special characters that they don't want to transition to an updated model for sales and/or fluff reasons. 'Oh, he failed to cross the rubicon...we'll miss Captain Ventris' Oh what an ignominious end that would be I hope that doesn't happen..... just spiteful enough though I could see GW doing it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352992-calgar-phil-kelly-and-primaris-the-first-of-the-3rd-gen/page/2/#findComment-5238067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondish Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I hope that doesn't happen..... just spiteful enough though I could see GW doing it Would be quite the snub - rather than an honourable death in glorious battle, this character died on the operating table during an elective procedure.

Well it could be done like the Dreadnought procedure. Character gets fataly wounded in glorious battle and the only options left were to either let him die, put him into a dreadnought (which the fewest survive) or let him try the Primaris upgrade. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352992-calgar-phil-kelly-and-primaris-the-first-of-the-3rd-gen/page/2/#findComment-5238115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lunkhead Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If a Space Marine is damaged enough for dreadnought internment, he is too damaged for anything else but the Emperor's Mercy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352992-calgar-phil-kelly-and-primaris-the-first-of-the-3rd-gen/page/2/#findComment-5238800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it kills 100%. Almost 70% fail to be revived.

War Angel Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Will we be getting new primaris heros, or will old heros be getting primaris upgrades?

Brother Lunkhead Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Will we be getting new primaris heros, or will old heros be getting primaris upgrades? My hope is both. I must admit that I'm a bit conflicted..... This sort of change to iconic Old Marine Heroes is a bit unsettling. The new Calgar figure is quite nice but seeing all or most hero figures transformed into Primaris marines seems a bit silly on a fluff level (how many could actually survive the process..... well, all would of coarse$$$$$$$$$$$$)? While I'm still a bit on the fence when it comes to the Primaris, I'm wondering if this might be a good time for a changing of the guard (as Old Marines are phased out) and begin introducing new heroes to replace the old..... new chapter masters, new champions, new reclusiarchs, etc. Not all at once of coarse, but over time as Old Marines go away . All very unsettling...…. Hopefully by the time we have to go through this again with the next generation of Uber Primaris Marines, I'll be falling asleep in my breakfast gruel at the Old Space Marines Home and it won't be my problem Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352992-calgar-phil-kelly-and-primaris-the-first-of-the-3rd-gen/page/2/#findComment-5239760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
