MithrilForge Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Heya, After finding out that i'm doing my Iron Ravens, my mates decided we're to have a little "Escalation- tale of 3 gamer's" thing going on now (it can only help right ) So we are starting at about 25-30 power. So far I have a squad of 5x reivers with pistol / knives, 1 squad of 5x Intercessors with Auto bolt rifles Sgt has rifle/ chainsword) 1 squad of 5x intercessors with stalker bolt rifles and the Push fit redemptor dread... I'm putting together a very low key primaris captain from spares from a intercessor box, i have a power sword and i'm trying to decide which of the following to equip him with... (MC) Stalker bolt rifle? or a (MC) Auto bolt rifle? i havent played marines/Primaris in 8th ed with the new dex yet so was looking for any glaring/obvious choices here feedback welcome..

Dracos Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Think long term .... is this a Captain you want buffing mid or backfield units. If midfield then assault boltrifle. If backfield then Stalker. Either way I wouldn’t want him in melee without a power fist and Gravis or Indomitus armor. Awesome project idea. I will look forward to seeing your progress. I’m at the point I’m giving my HQs a serious look before building. Chaplains are looking good but I really need to see the Supplement.

MegaVolt87 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Auto bolt and power sword for me. Coming from CSM I am used to mid-short ranged combat. Lack of a fist on a capt doesn't bother me as I usually like to bully weak non melee specialist units in CC if I can get away with it. I live dangerously against equals or better with my massed dice and the humble power sword. Only complaint is it doesn't look like an Lt can have a power sword and rifle. I wouldn't complain if there was a power axe option....
