What new things would you like to see for Primaris


Recommended Posts

 - A proper melee unit. If possible with shields and/or Jump Packs/Bikes

 - More options for HQs (one of the reasons why I'm still using non-Primaris HQs in my Primaris army)

 - A flyer

I like what Primaris have done with the Marine range, they have removed the same unit concepts that have been since Rogue Trader and simply gave them a new take and different roles. With that in mind I would like to see a bike unit, in part because the kit is old and small and something larger would totally rock, that instead of being a ranged unit is more of an assault unit. Like Vanguard Veterans but they ride bikes.

 

That would certainly differentiate them from Inceptors who have the same role as bikes, they are tough and fast units that can put some nice firepower when and where you need it.

Do not say the "R" word. If you say it to many times in a row GW shows up and starts making things worse as if the "R" word is a challenge to them.

 

Players: "Man, this thing is crud and not worth it. GW needs to ["R" word redacted] this. They can't make it any worse."

 

GW: "Hold my beer and dice."

A cheap transport would be an option, but not something I think is required.

My hopes are:

 

-A jetbike unit with Las Rippers

-A dedicated offensive tank like a hovering Sicaran

-A CC focused unit of some kind that has quality attacks in large volume

-Additional HQ and Sgt wargear

Merely seconding some good ideas.

 

Grav-bikes

- just saw what the RG HH bikes look like and ... yeah use those as a template :)

 

HQ customization

- ridiculously limited. Units sure, I love developing different tactics based on unique unit composition but characters should be able to support anywhere

 

Stratagems

- specifically Primaris akin to the vehicle and weapon stratagems. Things similar to but different than Weapons of the Dark Ages for Hellblasters and Interceptors.

 

 

If I get bikes I couldn’t forgive not having an affordable transport (for a while at least lol) :D

Primaris Breacher Squads - Bolt Carbines, Breacher Shields.  Give us option to replace Bolt Carbines with Chainswords.  Oh yeah.

 

Primaris Terminator Squads - Shooty/Assault variants please.  I know, we may see some overlap with Aggressors... but I want a proper Primaris 1st Company damn it!

 

Primaris Veteran Squads - I think it would be cool if we could take Intercessor, Aggressor, Reiver, Inceptor, ect Primaris units and spend points to make them veteran, same gear but give them new special rules to choose from.  Make it a upgrade box with flashy bits for the standard box sets.

 

Primaris Jet Bike Squad - I want to echo Las Rippers

 

Primaris Drop Pod/Rhino hybrid - Dark Imperium describes the Repulsors as vehicles that could be air-dropped on station.  Love it.  remove the Repulsors top turret, make it have a deepstrike mechanic and fit 5 to 10 Primaris.  Done.

Inceptor with Heavy Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon, something uniquely Primaris?

 

I’m not keen on Veterans for Primaris yet as that seems more like a standard marine thing .... but they do need something more “smashy” to compete in the melee phase. Can you put jump packs on Aggressors? :D

Veterans are just more experienced marines though.

 

Veterans done like the horus heresy squads rather than sternguard and vanguard would be good.

 

 

I think deathwatch may see interesting things happen with primaris

According to some rumours...yes. I already heard it being called the Primaris codex and Primawatch and stuff.

Aggressors aren't that great in melee with only two attacks hitting on 4s even if it's Powerfist attacks.

Which is why they need FAQed to 3 attacks for having two melee weapons :)

I really know nothing of 30k but yes, I like anything that is different than standard marines and harkens back to the initial invention of the Primaris. :)

Legion Veteran squads fluff wise were the core regular power armored elite units of the great crusade. They could take mixed weapon load outs in a wide variety of formats similar to Veteran squads of chapters that succeeded the legions. In game wise they are similar to chaos space marine chosen in function. 

 

Primaris fluff wise, the primaris veterans make a reasonable degree especially given the large scale casualties of the early indomitus crusade,  provisional mixed units of Primaris probably were solidified into some core elite units. These later served as the first company equivalents in later chapters.
