Marshal Reinhard Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Sword Brother kit was "always" in the rumors, wasn't it? Definitely nice to see they're keeping the full tabards on the SB. Sword brothers were always gonna be a thing yes. The question is what this one represents. Doubt he's an optional load out for another crusader we're getting in the box. So is he from another crusader kit, sprue? His load out feels very sergeant. If he's a squad member of a full swordbrother kit, can everyone in the squad be armed with weapons like that? Hmmmmm “This isn’t the last of the Black Templars, either. Remember a certain pyreblaster-toting Space Marine? Well, he’s got friends, and they’ll be joining the crusade towards the end of the year.“ With Helbrecht and (hoping) a Grimmy on the way, now I’m really curious what’s in the pyre marines sprue. The pyre marine we're shown here, is part of the sprue crusader sprue of this box. He's a repeating body pose with one of the initiates with CS & HBP. It does really sound like pyreblasters might be a thing though, which would be interesting... 6 data sheets + characters, I still expect one to be ancient, maybe a castellan sheet, Crusaders and Sword brothers. Cenobytes i expect are part of Grimaldus's and Helbrecht's data sheets. Maybe the marshal has his own? That still leaves one, which could be a pyreblaster squad?

Wispy Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) The primaris neophytes hold classic bolters and bolt pistols, not the bolt carbine in codex cover art. A bit disappointment on aesthetics. No? Look closely on the bolt pistols, they're similar to reiver pistols. You can see it in the video. Understand the bolter carbine confusion, but it's probably the same kind of carbine Haldor Icepelt's model has. Edit: Or the Marksmen/occulus carbines the phobos units use, just without scopeyscopes.

tvih Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Reiver pistol has much longer barrel and a fore-grip. No, the carbine has the foregrip, not the pistol. The other explanation would be that its simply a model from the Sword Brethren kit put as a leader for the Crusader squad in the picture. This would be my take, considering the other models in the picture are from this army set. Up you have the feet of the Marshal. The full-body pic is one of the Initiates, and next to him is one of the Neophytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Those are carbines yes The primaris neophytes hold classic bolters and bolt pistols, not the bolt carbine in codex cover art. A bit disappointment on aesthetics. No? Look closely on the bolt pistols, they're similar to reiver pistols. Understand the bolter carbine confusion, but it's probably the same kind of carbine Haldor Icepelt's model has. Edit: Or the Marksmen/occulus carbines the phobos units use, just without scopeyscopes. Or Master Lazarus from the dark angels. They're carbines at any rate, they only lack the tactical grip in the front. The tell tale signs its a carbine is that the ejection port is actually level with the barrel (my biggest pet peeve with the classic boltgun design) and the more angular casing (as oppossed to the boltguns completely square one) As for the bolt pistol design I'd say its a standard bolt pistol, and not the reiver variant (special issue?). There's actually two sepperate Primaris designs of the standard bolt pistol the smaller type: And the larger chunkier type: This is clearly what the neophytes have. The Special issue bolt pistol reivers use has an even bigger frontal part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 think about it twice we are now the first and only chapter with own Primaris units.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Posted on Reddit from the video...looks like a little tease of a different Sword Brother considering it doesn't seem to match the sword wielding model. I've even trying to work out if he's just an alternative build for one of the other bodies, but he doesn't seem to match any of the poses of the others. Whereas the sword brother is the alternative build of the guy with the candles. So he must come from somewhere else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Well, it's either from the Sword Brother set as discussed, or barring that from the supposed Pyreblaster squad that the article seems to be hinting at. Not really much else it could be coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I absolutely love the Marshal and the Sword Brother, Emp Champ's plainness has grown on me and Neophytes being so close to old art is excellent.Two gripes though - one, Sword Brother still part of the squad. I hope there's a full kit and we can take them as a separate squad, as we should. And two, the Redemptor is not Templarized at all, no apparent upgrade sprue, just decals. It's a plain old Redemptor dread. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
