Prot Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 So we know for fun the video game offers an upgraded skin for a Blood Raven character which makes him a full blown, Primaris Chaplain. This got me thinking... which unit, any unit, any character, would you like to see upgraded to a Primaris? I think the obvious choice, and my own would be Calgar. But aside from him who would you choose? Is there a unit in particular? Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't WANT any characters to become Primaris but I'll bet it's Sicarius. He's lost in the Warp in the Codex and spends a lot of time with the Primaris Marines in Dark Imperium. And he's had about 100 incarnations in the design studio ;) crazyterran and Slave to Darkness 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ha Cassius wouldn't take long to turn into a Primaris. There's only about 30% of a person left! SickSix and Frater Cornelius 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just for my own purposes, I'd like to see them upgrade Calgar, then I could use this sweet mini! Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That is a cool miniature. I would suggest Cato Sicarius too. He's basically a background character, created for their books, and is a bit of a Gary Stu. He's a natural to come out as a new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 For sheer irony and rage factor, Sgt Chronus, because as long as he's in a tank it would be a totally negligible difference. For reality though, probably Sicarus. Azekai, Slave to Darkness, Stoic Raptor and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyterran Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Make a mini for our 'favourite' Ultramarine, Uriel Ventris. Give him the Primaris treatment. Cpt_Reaper and Stoic Raptor 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Make a mini for our 'favourite' Ultramarine, Uriel Ventris. Give him the Primaris treatment. As i said to Graham Mcneil, learchus is a far better ultramarine IMO. That was when he threatened to kill him off in the next book :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derLumpi Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Well, Sicarius seems to be the obvious choice. Personally, I hope they don't primarize characters. Tamiel, Slave to Darkness and Stoic Raptor 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefeb Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 If i was a betting man...which im not...i would say it will be sicarius and the victrix guard as the most obvious choice. What i would like to see in order of preference is calgar, cassius and fabian as my army is the 3rd company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I think Tiggy need it most. Make him a 5 wound, 4 attack psyker with imposing new model :-D Bugmansgunt 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I find it funny that many of the board's biggest fans want older characters recycled and not brand new characters though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 All the Iron Hands ones should be done at once, they deserve some attention. Frater Cornelius and Freman Bloodglaive 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix01 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Although I have heard this mentioned several times here that it is possible, I've looked through the codex and I can't find where they said the Primaris treatment can be given to existing Astartes. Where is it written? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's a GW statement, not a piece of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's an anecdotal statement - that is to say, less than fluff. I'll believe it when I see it in print in a game publication, not a passing mention in a video or a blurb in a FB post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I believe they were testing the reaction to fans. Or else trolling folk like they did with the video where Andy was in the bin and found plastic Sisters of Battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ed Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, I think it was said by the media team to help tame the whole "They're replacing muh mareens!" discontent that some people took to the internet over with the Primaris reveal. I think AD-B even said on the boards that he was surprised to hear that. Since there's not a single documented case of it happening in fluff or in a sculpt, I'm thinking it can't/won't happen.

Sete Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ofc people want the old characters. They have background, they are established in the setting. But besides that comment on Warhammer TV there has been no mention of old Marines being upgraded. And like Ed I don't think it will happen.

Frater Cornelius Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I suppose the established lore will be one reason for GW to keep old Marines at least playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
