Emperor Ming Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Won't they just be primaris, but in the style of old terminators That seems the most logical answer Has there been a single firstborn release since the start of 8th? If so, that's almost two editions and 6 ish years Edited January 28, 2023 by Emperor Ming BLACK BLΠFLY, Orange Knight and KnightofSigismund 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 They will be Space Marine Terminators. Whispers from the Warp are starting to hint that the distinction between "Firstborn" and Primaris is going away in 10th Edition.

His sources have been pretty much on the money for a lot of recent releases. If he says the Primaris/FB distinction is being shunted into the lore then I am inclined to believe it. If you do not, what is the source of your scepticism? Do you have a different source telling you otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are in the style of the old terminators, then they wouldn’t really be Primaris, even if given the keyword option. Like the BT Castellan model. The distinction between Primaris and firstborn disappears if they produce updates of classic kits that where the look doesn’t change and say oh yeah sure they can be Primaris. There have been quite a few firstborn model releases since June 2017. Edited January 28, 2023 by Robbienw Khornestar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Valrak is more of a 40K enthusiast rather than a gamer. Caveat emptor. And a rumor is still just speculation. "There have been quite a few firstborn model releases since June 2017." Name at least three not including Series 2.

Sir Clausel Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Soo how does that make the rumors he states to be true wrong? He knows the game and as you said enthusiastic so that means he knows what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clausel Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I understand the difference. But i know he knows the game and since he is enthusiastic about the 40k universe he still knows the game to. Plus he has been dead on again and again for a long time now. But you do you. If you have a source telling you differently its just fine. Just dont bash a guy for no reason. He has a track record for being right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’m not bashing him and he has been wrong plenty of times. Valrak is basically a socially focused channel. It's for people talking smack and having a laugh with 40K as the main subject and common interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 So there aren't actually any conflicting rumours then? The Firstborn Terminators, or perhaps with the rumours of no distinction between Marine types now, the new Space Marine Terminators, could herald a new wave of Terminators from GW - Chaos of all types (likely World Eaters would get a new unit too) and Grey Knights. And they'll sell of course. Is that a test for revamps of older kits? Will it be dual 40K and 30K? So many questions. The latter really factors in for me though. Any 40K Firstborn will likely coincide with 30K surely. Sooner or later they'll be MK7 in the Heresy right so it stands to reason these Terminators would be a dual 30K and 40K kit? Or when the Heresy is exhausted they would expand to the Scouring for additional factions/Xenos potentially so would GW really want to create 2 Firstborn Terminator kits out of the same concept? Precedent of this is the MK4 Tactical Squad in this regard. Robbienw 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Space Marine hero’s series 1 tactical squad + captain - doesn’t count not produced by GW Space Marine heroes series 2 terminator squad + captain + standard bearer - see above Casan Sabius and Sirae Karagon - Forgeworld, doesn’t count Carab Culln the Risen - Forgeworld, doesn’t count 2nd resin version of the Thunderhawk - it’s not a Space Marine, doesn’t count 2nd resin versions of Land Raider and Rhino doors - see above Lexicunum Varus terminator librarian model - okay Chaplain Tarentus terminator chaplain model okay Black Templars Castellan - GW stated it’s a Primaris Space Castellan Crowe - technically Grey Knights aren’t Space Marines multiple 30k releases that are also 40k models - none are Space Marines So that’s only two… FAIL “So there aren't actually any conflicting rumours then?" Yes there are. Edited January 28, 2023 by BLACK BLŒ FLY Robbienw 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
