Each chapter gets a unique LoW or flier…

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

What would it be, how would it be armed.

 

off the top of my head blood angels would get a flier that is armed with nose assault cannons or onslaught gatling cannons, and under each wing is a Vulcan mega bolter.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I’m thinking the fists would have something similar to a lord of skulls.

vulcan mega bolter in the belly, some sort of battle cannons under the arms and twin heavy bolters on the shoulder?

[Captain Idaho]

Good concept. In good faith I'm presuming Ultramarines get 2, since Guilliman is still a LoW! 

 

Hmm something unique for Ultramarines. I'm obsessed with Dreadnoughts, so I'm thinking a Knight sized Dreadnought. 

 

Hear me out! The Shrine of Guilliman is/was (depends if you like his resurrection fluff lol) one of the most holy places in the Imperium. It would require stewardship and be necessarily heavily defended.

 

The Ultramarines had several of these solemn Guardians watching the approaches of the Shrine and able to intervene if the crowds rioted or worse.

 

As such, they are armed with giant shields and melee weapons. Their carapace would be refitted with battlefield appropriate weaponry, such as krak missile banks or Laser Destroyers.

 

If we want to modernise, give it heavy Grav cannon arrays in the carapace. 

[Khornestar]

Since they’re loyalists some variation if existing STCs makes sense IMO.

Variations of the astraeus, perhaps?

For Dark Angels I'd update the Land Raider Ares, but in a Spartan chassis.

Nah, it'd obviously be the Tormenter, but yellow and rocking VII flavours of bolters
UM get the Terminus Ultra again
IH get a LoW dreadnought
BA definitely a flier
SW just straight up pull Sif from Dark Souls

[Karhedron]

For the Blood Angels, I would like to see the Sanguinor buffed to LoW status to take the role of a Primarch-equiv model. We can say the Sanguinor was magnified by the opening of the Great Rift and the flood of souls released during the Devastation of Baal.

[Blindhamster]

Or… just that his tabletop rules match his lore. He was able to fight greater daemons and win in the lore. And he flies through the warp as a beacon that blood angels use to help them navigate the post rift dark side of the imperium

[lansalt]

My take:

 

Dark Angels: The Lion (we know he's coming back, right?)
Imperial Fists:  Dorn's Aetos Dios

Iron Hands: Legion Glaive

Blood Angels: The Sanguinor

Ultramarines: Guilliman

Salamanders: Bray'arth Ashmantle with warp powers

 

White Scars, Space Wolves, and Raven Guard shouldn't have one, I feel that it goes against their themes.

I think space wolves could have some sort of large dreadnaught for monster hunting. Something along those lines would work?

 

can’t think of anything appropriate for Raven guard or scars, so kinda agree, but think you could do a flyer of some kind for scars and Raven guard could have warp entity corax

Ah, I was stupid and I forgot about BJorn! Definitely he should be the SW LoW. He goes toe to toe against the biggest enemies in SW stories and you know that they only wake up him when things are really dire.  Like the Iron Dragon dread of the Sallies, he should have his own extra mechanic to buff his combat power, like "Fate points" or something like that.

??? the opposit will happen. Space Wolves are one of the most famous chapters ... so they get their primarch back... 100 percent. The question is not if but when.

 

RG´s Corvus Corax is the only primarch next to the lion and gulliman who we already know that he is still alive and we have read in recent books.

[lansalt]

The SW are probably more popular than DA, yes. But the problem is that GW has linked the return of Russ to the end of the Imperium, or at least the SW's "final battle": The Wolftime. The last SW novel with the same name explored this, with Grimnar having to realize that the return of Guilliman and primaris reinforcements means the SW and the Imperium are safe for now, so he's not going to see Leman Russ anytime soon.

 

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Didn’t realize primarchs were LoW, I meant vehicle LoWs

White scars id go with something like a super chariot.

maybe a massive bike looking thing that can transport 1-3 dreads?

a few gun mounts either lascannon or HB.

and power sword style hubcap blades. Vehicle hits at S7, hubcaps S+3 AP-3 D3

I must have missed that. Can you cite a source please?

 

I thought the last word was that he was presumed killed aboard the Sword of Sacrilege and they had recovered his charred, skeletal hand.

White Scars traditionally dislike and even fear Dreadnought internment. Having an open-topped Dreadnought transport is very much not Chogorian in theme.

Is officially missing according to the last line of text in the warcom article about the tank

Then a super chariot that transports 9 gravis armored troops or 15 normal troops.

 

ik much about the scars except mongols in space.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

No one should consider that blurb official.

[lansalt]

Dorn has always been "missing" since GW retconned the IF recovering his corpse into only getting back his hand. This is making a mountain of a mole hill, not to mention WarCom past lore mistakes.

It's hard to enjoy the open steppes, feel the wind in your hair, or have falcons at your wrist when you're half a corpse inside a walking coffin.

It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.
