Wait, Lysanders shield has now a name too?

Is the IF box likely to be 130€? Also, do we think the transfer sheet will include Crimson Fist decals?

I hope they dont bring grav bikes if they look like the disgusting block of turd that is the white scar bike, if it was bigger then maybe but it just looks bland! Its like that old chair speeder that FW was selling for 30k sometime ago but without all the nostalgia.

 

Primaris infantry just needs a bit cleaning imo, its a bunch of redundant options that were designed out of a need to not step into firstborn shoes but also not taken far enough to be truly different. Like do Intercessors need 3 types of bolters? Do Phobos units need 3 types of Bolters? Devastators are probably gonna stop existing sooner than later, why not collapse every Tacticus special weapon squad into one kit or unit? Tacticals will also become obsolete, why not recreate them in a new Intercessor box with actual options and not just ammo pouches, Reivers need an actual role and all the Phobos units need something other than slightly different bolters imo.

 

The whole paradigm with  which Primaris were designed at first is no longer valid imo and GW have been bringing back old units and straight up updating them sort of proves that so why not go all the way and pull the band aid off and just condense a lot of the unnecessarily redundant Primaris range to make it more like an actual update to the Astartes range instead of the weird half measure with which every model has been designed so far, just get it over with and remove all the firstborn stuff already, we all knew it was coming but GW was too hung up on not pissing off their base while wanting to do something completely different with the range.

GW will bring back upscaled Firstborn when they redo the Badab War. The idea of Firstborn being dead is not a thing because otherwise Saber wouldn´t have been allowed to give players an angry MK7 helmet in SM2.

They said during the reveal stream that it does include Crimson Fist ones as well, I think that's one of the reasons there's 500 something on the sheet rather than a more normal 300 something

Looking forward to Badab part 2. Primaris Boogaloo.

Or maybe it could be because they did MK7 heads for the Grey Hunter and Sternguard kits? Just a thought.

the helmt is in sm2, is more or less just the art asset used for prologue when you have classic deathwatch gear

[Nephaston]

They also teased more helmet variations with the incoming update like this MkVI and MkVII, while the existing ones are a relatively unadorned MkVI and two variants of MkVIII one of which is ravenwing styled.

Fluff article for Aethon Shaan.

 

Poor Severax cannot stop taking Ls, even long after he's dead.

 

This art is cool though:
