GORGEOUS, man, GW is really on point so far with the re-work of the models. I CAN'T WAIT to get my hands on these. The article speaks well as to his potential abilities on the table! 

Speaking of, I really really would like to see some rules start getting released ha ha. 

Its so crazy to see our chapter is now the most focused chapter of them all. We have a Crusadersquad which gonna be very different to other troop choices in comparison to other Marines and 3!!! Primaris Special characters - More then Ultramarines

I might be committing heresy but I think the new Grim is far better than the old one.

It is, even though the old one was very nice already too (a bit odd they made the pose so similar to the new EC, though). Likewise I do prefer the new Helbrecht.

Calgar, Tiggles and Uriel.... But who cares the new BT stuff is so nice.

Woah, he looks A N G E R Y, borderline chaos-y. Love it and the new details.

 

Considering how hard it is to get right, I think they did well.

My only gripe is the pistol seems plain.

Eberious made an awesome conversion for me based on the old model. Awesome as it is, the age of the old model means there's some trouble with symmetry on the helmet and such, so it will be nice to have this as well. And the new servitors just blow the old ones out of the water. 

 

Also, GW must know of Grimaldus' popularity from helsreach, even Helbrecht didn't get his own trailer!

Other than the backpack there is nothing that really that signifies him as a Primaris marine other than being far better scaled than old marine models

Well, high-ranking Astartes will of course have more custom-made artificer stuff than a line Primaris marine, so it's indeed not necessarily MkX at all. Fluff-wise it's entirely possible that artificers just reworked his old armor to account for the added bulk (I do believe Primaris being bigger than firstborn is still a thing in the fluff, even with all the retconning they've done?). Marines do like their relics, after all.

The only downside is how much work that banner is going to be,

I'm just dying to take a stab at it!

No its clearly MkX. You have the backpack already. You can also tell from the greaves its MkX. It has a bit of a knee pad rim, the telltale boot design. Let's not pretend its something else. And we already know from helbrecht, MkX artificer armor is a thing.

Noticed that both Grimaldus, Helbrecht, the new unnamed marshal, all have what Jes Goodwin calls "Crusade armor". I don't think it has this distinction is in the lore itself, but it exists visually on the models. 

 

Crusade armor is pretty much the same as tacticus armor, but it has a few difference, that being the crusade style extra armor on the helmet, a more prounounced gorget, and these little knee flap things. There's rounded joint on the outside on the knee, and this little "wing" of plating. Its supposed to be extra protection for the back of the knee.

 

And you can see this addition on grimaldus, helbrecht has it, the generic marshal has it. Who else has it? The bladeguard models. Who really look like they belong to Templars over any other chapter. 

 

I'm just convinced Jes Goodwin designed those exclusively for us originally, but then a GW execs decided they wanted it to be a unit for everyone.
