So, apparently 10th Ed Primaris BA models have been leaked by Joy Toy?

[appiah4]

I think Eons of Battle makes a compelling argument:

dont think so honestly, its possible, but they just look like primaris with pretty lazy firstborn bits put on them.

the deathmask and bare head are from the firstborn upgrade sprue, as is the challace. the backpack details are from upgrade sprue and BA tactical squad, the chest pieces are from the upgrade sprue, even the shoulder pads look a lot like ones in the upgrade sprue to be honest.

honestly the only truly unique bit seems to be the loin cloths.

I'd not be unhappy if we got similar to this, but am not convinced its actually a thing atm

Possible primarisized bloodangel kits in the future?  Eventually absolutely, i expect chapter specific stuff similar to what Black Templars got (more or less) for all the most supported subfactions.  Next year? I suspect yes for at least 1 of the1st founding chapters.  Could very well be BA too.

But new models for BA doesnt necessarily mean 10th edition tho.

 

[appiah4]

Well, it's a very poorly kept secret that the 10th starter will be SM vs Tyranids, and BA vs Tyranids makes more sense than any other..

[Mostwanted]

I really hope that this isn't what we'll be getting as this just seems really lazy if it is. As Blindhamster said, this is basically the bit's from the firstborn upgrade sprue made Primaris. There has to be better things they can do to give us legion specific models.

[Helias_Tancred]

I'd like to think the "Templar treatment" is something of a blueprint they will repeat with chapters that would benefit from it, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, and Space Wolves. I could see a similar scope being done to Blood Angels and Dark Angels, and to a lesser extent Space Wolves. Based on chapter unique units, characters, decor, etc.

oh yeah, i do think we'll get stuff, just not sure it'll look precisely like this (as others said, i'd actually hope for more, based on templars and even our old tactical squad)

It’s definitely not what we’re getting as others have said these are just firstborn upgrade bits stuck on

 

Also it’s kind of confirmed “ish” now that is DA not BA, Valrak has said previously he didn’t hear BA he’s heard DA with the lion coming back and BT style update, his source has been right about everything so far and I believe the BA rumour just came from anon Reddit user 

 

Although BA will obviously get a full update at some point I wouldn’t expect it first

Valrak himself said the launch box was Tyranid vs BA.

the random redditor just built off that established rumor.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

If BA is featured I think that’s great and I hope they get some new units that are fun to play.

He also said the boxed set was generic marines painted as BA, so doesn’t mean we get the Templar treatment any time soon.

I mean if we’re going to be the poster boys of the edition, it seems highly likely, we’ll get some cool new stuff.

[Blindhamster]

Yeah i think we will get stuff this edition, but the stuff valrak has said suggested we are the chosen colour scheme for the core set, but it’s all generic marines in it, then he also said it’s dark angels getting stuff, which probably just means initially and perhaps we will get the Templar treatment after them, still during 10th. Hope so anyway!

Other way around he said DA first then was confused at the BA rumours, he then confirmed after BA are starter box but generic and DA are getting a range refresh with the Lion 

look I want to see both updated ASAP I’ve collected both armies over the years and love them bot!  I’m just not sure we’ll see 2 SM chapters get full range updates close together within the same edition 

what I can see is BA starter box and say Dante gets an update. Then DA get the full range update within the edition 

[Blindhamster]

Nah, we have had plenty of editions with major updates for both. 10th will likely be the same, but it does seem DA will be first, and no indication on when BA will be. Probably around Christmas 2023 or 2024, because BA tend to be Christmas chapter.

It’ll be interesting to see what we get like I said if they are they won’t be close together and I imagine it’s DA first as that’s the current “most reliable” rumour going around 

But I guess after what we know is coming Tyranids and Dark Eldar are really the only factions who need of big range “refreshes” so there’s not loads left that needs modernising 

maybe it’s the Edition when we start seeing the more Niche factions [Chapter units, Emp Children maybe inquisition etc] 

[Doghouse]

Looks more like cringe Youtube click bait to me.

It will be interesting to see if the rumoured 10th set does give uniquely modelled BA Primaris or whether it's more generic. I could see a character being stuck in the set though to be honest.

Ye gods, thanks for posting - I'm glad I never actually watched all of that video - he does blather on about nonsense for a long time. These are just Primaris marines with the BA upgrade sprue components. Nothing new there :shrug:.

Yeah, that was my take too. However I would point out that currently the bits on that sprue can't be applied to primaris without a lot of kitbashing/modifications. So it's an odd choice even if there's nothing really new going on.

[Xenith]

I think it's more that they wanted some unique BA Primaris, and in the absence of offiicial models they used the CAD files for the ba firstborn sprue to tart up the base primaris joytoy model. 

That said, these are about the only JoyToy things I've seen so far that I would buy!

Did you get any of the McFarlane BA figures?

 

[WARMASTER_]

Just a small update, Valrak has now backtracked on the BA rumour saying its actually just painted as UM like normal but as I guessed BA should be getting an updated Dante before 10th 

Be interesting to see what materialises 

But does make more sense as DA look to be getting the full update next 

Edited October 1, 2022 by WARMASTER_

[Blindhamster]

Dante getting an update before 10th seems... unlikely.  We've been a christmas faction for 3 editions now, the last major release for blood angels that didn't fall over December/January was the 5th edition codex in 2010.

And I just can't see them doing a Dante update outside of a codex update.

So I'd honestly guess if we're due anything at all in the reasonable future, it'd be christmas 2023 at the earliest..

Edited October 1, 2022 by Blindhamster

Hey I agree, but apparently they’re announcing a Psychic awakening style book series before 10th which will involve Dante and a few other model releases 

Also might be why we got the BA box rumours it might be a BA vs Tyranids books with rules etc and a Dante redo

Just speculating now though

I didn't actually, there was just something 'off' about them for me - I much prefer the joytoy ones, however didnt want 4x death company marines - I was much more after a guy in red power armour - did they ever release BA intercessors?
