Have you invested in Primaris, and if so, how much?

Totally :smile.:

 

Di Pirmaris x2

Captain

Birthday Captain

Librarian

Chaplain

90+ Intercessors

30 Hellblasters

18 Inceptors

36 Aggressors

3 Dreads

1 Repulsor

WtD Lt

500 Lt

Conquest Lt

Calgar x2 :smile.:

 

Two Calgars, eh?

 

 

One for my Ultras and one for my Captain of the 3rd for my Crimson Fists

 

The arm will be replaced with a Inceptor arm, and all the Ultra symbols removed too.

I am a player who recently returned after a 15 year hiatus.  I also didn't play marines during my first run, so I am probably more willing to buy primaris than a player with an existing collection of older marines.

 

I also have primaris across two chapters (Dark Angels and Deathwatch), so probably have more than normal.

 

Built and in various states of what might generously be called "painted" -

 

1 primaris master (Dark Angels, hence "master," which is a snobbier Dark Angel way to say captain).  I made him by very lightly converting and kitbashing one of the lieutenants from Dark Imperium.  I'm not even sure if I converted anything, actually, as I can't remember whether I actually had to cut his shoulder pad off or not.

 

1 primaris lieutenant (Dark Angels)

 

1 primaris ancient

 

18 bolt rifle intercessors (12 Dark Angels, 5 Deathwatch)

 

5 stalker bolt rifle intercessors (5 Dark Angels)

 

5 auto bolt rifle intercessors (5 Deathwatch)

 

4 aggressors (1 boltstorm, 3 flamestorm, 1 Deathwatch, 3 in a chapter TBD which is why they're staying in "primed only" purgatory)

 

1 heavy onslaught redemptor

 

7 inceptors (6 plasma for Dark Angels, 1 assault bolter for deathwatch)

 

2 reivers (one carbine, one knife, both with chutes and grapnel, both Deathwatch, both almost exclusively for Kill Team)

 

30 hellblasters (20 Dark Angels, 10 Deathwatch)

 

 

Still unbuilt, much to my shame:

 

1 captain in gravis (I can't think of a reason to build this thing given his points cost and bizarre loadout when I already have so many other things unbuilt)

 

7 intercessors

 

5 aggressors

 

1 redemptor 

 

2 assault bolter inceptors 

 

1 Haldor Icepelt (or whatever I decide to turn him into instead, probably)

 

 

Overall, I really like the primaris range, even if they're a little more tricky to use in my main faction (Dark Angels).  Except for hellblasters, of course, though they've been shelved since December.  The only list I could find before chapter approved that didn't end with my face getting stomped in was a very boring plasma castle, so I'm not in a hurry to bring them back just yet. 

 

I like them, but am also in a holding pattern for  all of the same things many of you mentioned above or in other threads: fast assault, dedicated anti-tank, jump packs, an actual transport.  I'm sure I'll buy more once wave 2 drops, including some of the characters I haven't bought in wave 1.   I'm not opposed to buying the apothecary or librarian, but it's much harder (in DA, anyway) to make either of them work without a real transport or jump pack of some kind.  The chaplain is even more tricky, as there is not yet such a thing as a Primaris Interrogator-Chaplain.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that it will happen one day.  But when that day comes I'm going to be too distracted buying up whatever models that qualify as Primaris Ravenwing and Deathwing to care as much about the Primaris Interrogator-Chaplain that helps support them.  :biggrin.:

 

No. With two old marines armies, I see no need for another, new one but with nicer models.

They play very differently? :-P

 

 

I started Thousand Sons when 8th started. I've got plenty of armies to play and rearrange before another marine army. even if they play different. The models looks great and I don't mind the backstory, but I'm just not ready.

Right now, I’ve gotten the Interdiction force. Getting a box of Intercessors and a box of Inceptors soon too !

 

I plan on having a 2000 pts army with HQs, 30 Intercessors, 12 Inceptors and 2 Repulsors.

 

Will probably also build 30 Reivers over time to change and swap the list around!

 

Not super interested about other Primaris lines for the moment. Maybe if there is a new release going on, but not currently

Mostly unpainted

 

 - Gravis Captain
 - 2 Limited Edition Captain with Fist and Plasma
 - Chaplain
 - 4 Lieutenants and 4 pseudo Sgts with Power Swords
 -20+ Intercessors
 - 10 Reivers <counts as Scouts>
 - 15 Hellblasters
 - 12 Dakka Aggressors
 - 6 Plasma Inceptors

 

 

Eventually will get the Librarian. Hoping for some different armor options, both Gravis and Jump Pack. I want 5 more Hellblasters. Is there a thing as too much plasma? I don't want to go overboard and want to make sure I have juggle room for Phase Two units and vehicles.

I've been buying a bit more than what was planned:whistling:  but I have painted so far:

 

  • 1 Captain Gravis
  • 2 Lieutenant
  • 11 Intercessors
  • 4 Aggressors
  • 1 repulsor
  • 1 Astraeus just finished (that was a gift though)
  • started painting 5 reivers

Still need to build and paint:

 

6 Intercessors

1 Ancient converted from tolmeron

1 Librarian

1 Redemptor

1 second repulsor ( I dont want to talk about it :sweat: )

10 Hellblasters

10 Reivers

3 Inceptors plasma

 

I still can't wait for more primaris though !

 

@Ishagu any pics of your force? I'm quite curious to see them since I heard you in realm & ruin :)

 

Cheers!

Anamnesis

Sure, here's a few snaps:

Also, hopefully I should be able to appear on the podcast again in the near future :-)

Really nice! That would be cool, you're episode on 40k was good , I enjoyed it :)

I did everything with a heresy/scouring bent, so no Primaris until I was insane enough to do some Lamenters. Even then it was just 2 of the DI stuff, a box of hellblasters, and two boxes of Aggressors. Any future Primaris stuff may get a coat of yellow as long as it's sufficiently awesome.

The Primaris marines was what got me into playing Marines in the first place, having only played Chaos so far.

 

So far the painted stuff of my Silver Skulls all-prmaris army includes:

Gravis Captain

Non-gravis captain (converted)

Ancient

2x Lieutenant

Apothecary (converted)

Librarian

3 Inceptors

10 Hellblasters

15 Intercessors

Redemptor Dreadnought

Repulsor

 

I have more Intercessors half painted, but I am sort of waiting for new kits, as I have a 2k army that I can play with now.

Nice ultramarines, Ishago!

 

I've got I think 60 intercessors, 15 hellblasters, 3 aggressors, 10 reivers, a dreadnought, a repulsor and assorted characters. Really need to get into inceptors and a few more aggressors. I've been kind of holding out for a second wave as I wonder if there will just be something simple like inceptors with melta or hellblasters with choom.

I have:

 

1 Gravis Captain

2 primaris Captains

1 librarian

1 apothecary/wolf priest

25 interceptors

3 interceptors

9 aggressors

10 hellblasters

2 redemptor dreads

1 repulsor

 

I'm not very far in the process of painting them yet, I mainly use space wolves rules now. Would really like a second wave though lol

 

Totally :smile.:

Calgar x2 :smile.:

 

Two Calgars, eh?

 

 

The Calgars is what you noticed? :) I was thinking how one would ever field 90 Intercessors or the 36 Aggressors .... Totally down with 30 Hellblasters of course ;)

Will be spliting them between Crimson Fists and Ultras mybe with some other force..

1x Birthday Captain

1x Standard Captain

1x Chaplain

1x Apothecary

1x Ancient standard bearer

2x Dark Imperium Lieutenants

1x 500th Lieutenant

1x Wake the dead Lieutenant

1x 30th anniversary sergeant

10x Intercessors

10x Hellblasters

3x Inceptors

1x Repulsor

 

So so far almost a full third of them are essentially some form of command so far. :ermm: But I do have 10x more intercessors and 3 inceptors (both from DI)coming which should make it more balanced in that regard. Round of with another Repulsor and maybe some agressors in the future. Though I'm trying to avoid buying much more additional stuff before wave 2 hits
