How to kill Primaris with Firstborn

Ha. So maybe my DA successor force would be naturally suited as it's loaded with plasma. And 3 Vindicators couldn't hurt either.

 

My Silver Skulls have lots of options but not a whole lot of plasma specifically. Are TFCs any good against Primaris? I have two or three I have yet to put together.

Man why doesn't the vindicator have a plasma cannon option? With higher/stronger output to normal plasma cannons?

Let's not talk about how upsetting the Vindicator is! My heart is broken.

I absolutely love the Vindi, man. Linebreaker is a dark horse strat. Advance with 3, pop smoke, and lay into the opponent with that thing. Then either try again or use them to block an advance. I've seen them do amazing things and as a primarily Primaris player, I do not want to face that many potential mortal wounds.

Ever since Betrayer I just loved Vindicators. Besides, original fluff had it as an Ultramarine invention. ;)

 

For such a macro cannon it could do with new rules - S14, Damage D6 minimum of 3 and automatic hits to non flying units. That would make it a worthy edition to the game.

 

Anyway, yes I concede the weapon system is actually okay at pulping Primaris elite units. And T8 is horrible to work through.

As a Guard commander who's played against a lot of Primaris at this point, take plasmas and autocannons.

 

Plasma weapons are efficient against 1W marines, imagine how fantastic they are against the 2W version? I find that Firstborn Marines are a significantly harder matchup than Primaris simply because I have so many D2 weapons that the big bois die just as easily while costing more points and having worse transport options.
