Raptors and the new RG supplement


Paulie771

Recommended Posts

I decided when the Shadowspear box came out to paint up and use all my Phobos-armored marines as 10th company Raptors as the fluff of both the armor and the chapter seemed to go well together.  When the new RG supplement was announced, I had hoped we'd get some new/updated Raptors fluff and maybe even a new character or our own chapter tactic.  However, I haven't seen much of anything about them being in the supplement.  There certainly wasn't anything mentioned about successor chapters being covered in the supplement on the Community site.

 

Is there much reason for a Raptors player to get the new supplement or is the new Marine codex enough?

You definitely need the rules to make effective and fluffy Raptors, but you can easily print those maybe 5 pages yourself.

 

But no, there's no successor fluff in there as far as I know. One hastily painted Raptor (you haven't missed anything there), and otherwise just rehashs of what happened at the end of the heresy with the mutations.

For the rules, yes. The relics and stratagems alone are worth it. I say this as a Raptors player since 5e.

 

There is no new fluff and the painted Raptor is a neon green for some reason. Maybe an  error in post processing.

Yeah the paint job is ... not right imo, but the rules rock.

 

It is my sincere hope and maybe we should start an online petition to have Lias Issodon cross the Rubicon :)

 

You can actually make a pretty good facsimile with the rules. Shrikes basically a standard Primaris Captain with Relics and Warlord Traits added.
