Mmmmm Napalm Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Yeah I would have retained a bit more of the traditional flamer look, but I'm still reasonably pleased with it. I'm more interested in the little amor details to be honest. I've been wanting more minute variation like this for Mk. X armor since Primaris were first showcased; it's good to finally see it on grunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) The shoulder pad looks extremely similiar to the one i got repeated across all of my tacticus armored marines... i do see some scroll work on the other ones, would really like a closer look on it EDIT: How much dmg do you all see on the weapon?

Mmmmm Napalm Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It seems to me that maaaybe Crusader Squad will looking a bit like the old tactical marines ? Like this guy with the flamer is definitly from one so ! And I can't imagine a squad of Black Templar without Power Sword or ChainSword sooo maybe we will be able to mix our stuff like the firstborn. Some rumor specification earlier stated the crusaders can freely choose between chainsword/heavy bolt pistol and auto bolt rifle and the flamer. Not sure about power weapons, but I'm expecting the at least the sword brother leader to take one. Good to hear that I'll be able to repurpose my Assault Intercessors as Initiates.

Spinsanity Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Now I can't help but wonder whether the weapon comes attached to the arm , or if they went back to the design of old where the hands were not attached to the weapon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 While I can't say that I'm a fan of the standard Tacticus armour, the Primaris redesigns of weapons are extremely cool. I also like the studs on the plates on the arms and the backpack. I must say that I'm surprised how thick the chain is; I was hoping for a sleeker design, more alike the fine links on the old metal Veterans and Sword Brethren models.

Jayrich131 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I love it. I think it's nice that they came up with a new chest design in order to satisfy the people that want some bling and also satisfyt hose of us that know BT are the emblem of the Emperor and do not need to wear it. Other things I like about it: The pose - doesn't look the least bit stressed or concerned. Just casually melting a horde of filthy xenos, what a beautiful day to purge. Chain and Loincloth - I wasn't sure we would get the loincloth on our basic troops, it's a nice surprise as I customised my old ones to pretty much all wear tabards anyway. The plates are unique enough without being ridiculous, after all they are troops and I want them to look nice and simple next to my elites and other units. Looks very satisfying to paint. Easy enough with large accessible surfaces, but also enough to be entertaining and look good in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Alberic Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So far so good, not massively bothered by the robes going under the chest plate a bit of green stuff can fix that if I feel the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJyo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Oof that downgrade to D1 hurts me. Jokes on me I got too excited.

Trying to decide if I still want to shave off the chest adornments. Otherwise comments on FB are half salamanders players crying salty tears. Kinda fair enough in a way, imagine if our chapter tactic only worked with one type of weapon, and Space Wolves got it before we did? Just because we're finally getting our toys, doesn't mean we should forget the hurt. Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxom Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 For the moment this is making me quite happy I didn't use any ETB models to start on Templars. I think they'd look rather plain. I would love to have a rule for the Black Sword which is ignoring rules which ignore damgage. So that we dont use 3 phases (we just have 2 to deal damage) to kill things like Ghazhkull and C-Tan etc...Or we get lot of Mortal wound mechanics like the holy grenade in the end of the movement phase to deal with them above and the emperors champion can ignore Invulves.Isnt the black sword just a mastercrafted power sword? It shouldnt have anything like that imo. Nor should there be a rule like that imo, i think those rules are there not only to show how strong those models are in the lore, but so that on the table they arent immediately blown off. And an emperors isnt that strong It's definitely not "just" a MC powersword. They are much more special than that and further they aren't even powerswords! I'll have to dig out the new fluff on it but they are rare and powerful blades The fluff has changed over the years. I still like the original version, where there was an aspect of transubstantiation to it. Crusade fleet capital ships (where the Marshall would be found) had relic arms and armor, but if a brother had the visions while away from the rest of a Crusade they would anoint his armor and sword (and give him one if he didn't have one), and they would be the Armor of Faith and the Black Blade.

JAG Templar Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It’s an insane feeling for Templars to go from no love whatsoever to having a chapter-unique Primaris troop unit. Every other chapter with a supplement just has the basic Primaris unit plus an upgrade sprue right? Even Space Wolves. What a time to be a Templars player! I hope they made a lot of boxes.

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 You could argue there's the victrix guard (Calgar's 2 body guards). Then there's things like Death company intercessors, those don't have actual models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's things like Death company intercessors, those don't have actual models though. I guess so on the Victrix guard and there are many, many chapter specific Lieutenants. But getting Primaris crusaders and Sword Brethren before Primaris Grey Hunters or Sang Guard as examples seems very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Liking it, few changes as always, but really only to the arms and upper grip. Needs to be vertical or at a 45 degree angle. Guessing it's not held from the bottom due to you generally won't be unleashing a torrent of flames from a aiming down the sights pose. Cut off the gun top handle, twist the wrist , glue. done. Shoulder pads good, helmet good, chest armour design good. Good. Edited August 23, 2021 by Eberious Gederas and RedFox 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
