Marshal Reinhard Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 On a more serious note perhaps, we don't know how long he was away from the chapter. Every company needs a captain to lead it. It'd make sense when he disappeared that someone would quickly take his place, as the company would be needed to be led somewhere. On the reverse I so no reason to assume there'd be a vacant spot upon his return, there's only 10 companies or 10 spots.

Sicarius' ship got lost in the warp for years and when he came back he no longer was the 2nd company captain (a primaris was now doing his old job). So Guilliman made Sicarius the leader of the Victrix Guard with the same rank. Top level officers usually fall upwards or are given other jobs, and only the emperor knows how many UM captains with gold trim exist. But a space marine being demoted in 40K is a very rare punishment in organizations that usually gives suicide missions as a last resort to save face.

Marshal Reinhard Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well, ive considered it a no brainer since the first trailer they'd be coming. Don't need me no rumors to figure that one out. Even if the image technically just the two mooks he had in the original trailer also sharing in the aerial segments rather than on foot. Still the eventual kit is what will mark my crusade's completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look but it’s an additional armor feature/system that he can’t just swap out. I imagine it will be mission-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalt Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The rocket boots are annoying, because it will make swapping bodies with other primaris minis not technically possible if one wants to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look but it’s an additional armor feature/system that he can’t just swap out. I imagine it will be mission-based. Isn’t that the whole point of the MkX armor though - mission-based armor adjustment where they add on or remove components and plating based on needs? Those small thrusters on the rear lower legs look incredibly similar to what the Suppressors utilize, which makes me think it’s an armor component that bolts on instead of the standard rear round plate at the back of the leg on Tacticus armor. They don’t have the over the instep/dorsum plate on the foot or the large round ankle gyro plates because they don’t have the anti-grav ski plate things. The jump thrusters look similar to the Inceptors, but their packs don’t appear as heavy, with the thrusters in place of the lower, outer small ball vent thrusters on the Suppressor packs (probably because they don’t have the anti-grav plates and need more thrust to jump).

phandaal Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Would not be Primaris without over engineering! Good news is once this comes out as a new unit, there are a ton of super cheap Assault Intercessor bodies out there just waiting for a jump pack.

Nephaston Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 There is a way to get separate leg thrusters, if attention to detail is a need. Only need to shave of the rectangular socket at the back of the leg. Regarding the game i think the jump thrusters might all either be just plugged on the regular armour, similar to how the first game handled it. Though one can argue that the first game did it wrong since it strapped a full jumppack over a full powerpack, which I'm fairly certain isn't doable on old marks. lansalt 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastor Krieg Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Something I just noticed rewatching it. Titus was arrested by an inquisitor assisted by Black Templars. Now he has crossed Rubicon Primaris, was demoted to Lieutenant... and his weapon is chained to his arm, Templar style. I wonder if this hints at some repentance done under Templar guidance?
