ShVagYeR Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Back in 2017 I bought the Dark Imperium box and swapped the DG for my friend's marines. Other stuff like ETB Reivers, the First Strike box, and such came along. Now I have: Painted: 25 Intercessors 6 Inceptors 10 Reivers 10 Hellblasters Gravis Captain Ancient 2 Lieutenants Unpainted: 5 Intercessors Gravis Captain (which will most likely be a gift for a friend) Repulsor I'm still going through my backlog of old marines as well, never going to let them go and still clinging to the hope that they will remain in the setting in some form or another. Maybe it's denial. ;) Right now I'm having a lot of fun painting the Space Marine Heroes minis.

Brother Christopher Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 While I'm not a fan of Primaris as models (I find them to be a bit dull, with the exception of their weapon design), I must confess, that I actually bought one thing with Primaris in its name - the Redemptor Dreadnought. So that's that. Incidentally, this was my last purchase for the hobby. I still have around 150 'regular' Marines of various sorts to finish and a dozen or so vehicles to assemble and paint. While time passes and I work on my backlog, I also hope to have a batter indication where GW intends to take Space Marines, and in particular the 'classic Astertes', in the future.

CommanderDio Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have: 1 Captain 1 Chaplain 15 Intercessors 10 Reivers 3 Inceptors 1 Repulsor I had the models from the Dark Imperium box, but I gave them to a friend who was starting the hobby. I bought the box for the Death Guard, and was unsure if I wanted to start Space Marines, again. Mind you I was all over the place with armies between 5th and 6th edition, (tyranids, ultramarines, grey knights, blood angels, chaos space marines), then I dropped out of Warhammer till 8th edition. I really like the look of the Primaris Marines, the helmet reminds me a little of my favorite armor from the Heresy (MK IV Maximus). My issue, for me, is picking a Chapter I like (Lore wise & rule wise) and sticking with it. I love the Flesh Tearers, but after reading Devastation of Baal, Seth hates Primaris because they don’t have “The Flaw”.

GreyCrow Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Kudos to all the Primaris supporters here ! Currently, I own (in various paint and assembly stages) Captain 10 Reivers 3 Inceptors 20 Intercessors 1 Repulsor My current goal is to make a 2000 points Primaris-only list composed of : Captain + Lieutenant 38 Intercessors (2 squads of 10, 2 squads of 9) 4 Las/Las/Onslaught/Stormbolter all around Repulsors I like the idea and the visual of a squadron of 4 Repulsors maneuvering together and acting like one big unit! Pushing towards the center and taking down the bigger targets first, then closing in and unloading the Troops for a combined shoot + charge move! Stat wise, they are pretty beasts too ! If Race Bannon is watching, then it’s not 4 Land Raiders, but close enough !

Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I have the Primaris out of Dark Imperium, and on top of that I have one each of the 10-strong boxes of Intercessors and Hellblasters, two boxes of Inceptors, and a single Repulsor. So far, I've painted five Hellblasters and a plasma pistol/power fist Captain conversion.

UnkyHamHam Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 For me I have Dark Imperium and a few extras. From DI: 1x Gravis Cap 2x Lts 1x Ancient 10x Intercessors 5x Hellblasters 3x Inceptors 1x PF/PP Cap 1x Librarian (KT commander box) 5x Intercessors 5x Reivers 6x Aggressors 1x Redemptor 1x Repulsor Really really want the other characters, but I just can't justify $35 for a non competitive monopose single option character.

Ishagu Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've not actually bough the Chaplain yet - it's the only model I'm missing from the Primaris range. I just don't know what I'd do with him...

I just don't know what I'd do with him...Obviously. He gives rerolls in combat, which current primaris units are not effectively geared for or toward.

I just don't know what I'd do with him...Obviously. He gives rerolls in combat, which current primaris units are not effectively geared for or toward. Not to mention that the Captain already gives re-rolls for half of the missed hits anyway so you are only really missing on 2s with a Captain around which is not enough to justify a Chaplain. And that's without considering that the Captain gives also re-rolls for shooting and can take the TH/SS combo. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353164-have-you-invested-in-primaris-and-if-so-how-much/page/3/#findComment-5246319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCrow Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think the Chaplain is only useful if you’re sending Reivers or Aggressors up as a distraction, while the Captain stays warmly next to the Hellblasters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353164-have-you-invested-in-primaris-and-if-so-how-much/page/3/#findComment-5246406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what I'd do with him... Clearly you would replace the head of his crozius and paint him since it's a fantastic model. The rules are irrelevant when it comes to that.

GreyCrow Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Does the Repulsor see a lot of play ? I won a 1000 points game yesterday with 18 Intercessors, a Captain and 2 Las Repulsors versus a Berserkers + Dakka IK List. It’s a fantastic unit on the tabletop and not only on paper! I’m definitely making this 38 Intercessors and 4 Repulsor 2000pts list !

Ishagu Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Repulsor is an excellent unit. It's only the Castellan that keeps it from being recognised fully. I always run two, and they always perform. If one goes down the other does the job of two tanks worth. It's the best Astartes tank and people don't realise it.

War Angel Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 How are you kitting it out? Mines in the box but that's because I'm slow as hell at painting things.

Panzer Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 How are you kitting it out? Mines in the box but that's because I'm slow as hell at painting things. Usually full Lascannons since it already has enough dakka anyway. However it depends on your list. If you can already deal with armour otherwise you can get away with a Onslaught/Las build as well (neonmole with his 3 Repulsors, Smash Captain and 2 Dakka Redemptors is doing it successfully for example).

Panzer Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I said it before but I wish we could replace the last Fragstorm grenade launchers with Stormbolters as well. Would make it a lot easier to roll. I originally went with Stormbolter instead of FGL because I think Bolter just belong on a Marine vehicle ... that we got the Bolter Discipline now is just a convenient buff to it. :P (also because I like to tease my GK buddy with saying I got 3 GK mounted on it implying their only worth is in their Stormbolter ... which is even almost true sadly) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353164-have-you-invested-in-primaris-and-if-so-how-much/page/3/#findComment-5248129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCrow Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 @sfPanzer : You’re talking about the one that you can replace with the Autolaunchers, right ? For the kit : Twin Las/Lascannon/Onslaught Gatling Cannon/full Stormbolters all around/Autolaunchers The Full Dakka build is also a good alternative. Yes, I’m going there Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353164-have-you-invested-in-primaris-and-if-so-how-much/page/3/#findComment-5248147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the kit : Twin Las/Lascannon/Onslaught Gatling Cannon/full Stormbolters all around/Autolaunchers The Full Dakka build is also a good alternative. Yes, I’m going there It works in a scenario where you have tons of Hellblasters/Inceptors as your main damage guys. The Dakka Repulsor is there to attract attention and put pressure on infantry. Basically, you force your opponent to deal with it, rather than use it to deal with your opponents’ threats. Never ever take autolaunchers! You take the Repulsor for the dakka so why would you sacrifice your shooting for a full turn for a measly to-hit penalty? The Full Dakka build is not really a good alternative. Over a hybrid build you trade 2 Lascannon shots for 6 Heavy Bolter shots. The Repulsor already has so much dakka anyway and with the hybrid build even more, the additional 6 HB shots won't make much of a difference but the 2 Lascannons shots are always a threat.

Ishagu Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Primaris infantry pack enough Dakka. Redemptor too. The Repulsor should take all the Las it can.
