GenerationTerrorist Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi guys. Is there any fluff yet of an UM Company being fully made up of Primaris Marines? If not, and they are still a mix of Primaris and Standard Marines, are any of the Companies led by a Primaris Captain? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 11th company is all Primaris. GenerationTerrorist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbienw Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 The 11th company is referred to in the first Dark Imperium novel as an extra all primaris company for the ultramarines. Its not referred to in the SM codex or Dark Imperium 2 though, so is a bit mysterious. To the OP, the 2nd company has a Primaris Captain, Captain Acheran. The 2nd company makeup is detailed in the SM codex, and is roughly 70% classic marine to 30% primaris marine.

Since most companies now seem to have 11 or 12 squads now to incorporate Primaris units. Then the new Shadowspear confuses things more. We almost do need a new Codex just to know what the Codex says anymore. It's like Robby G revised it back to Heresy Era 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think it might be a bit because GW are making it up as they go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Knight Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I think GW are showing that the strict, limiting nature of the Codex has been relaxed? The codex is still a guideline for the time being, but it is not a set of dogmatic rules with no flexibility. In the novel "Devastation of Baal" various characters comment that the forces Guilliman commands function as legions comprised of different, mixed gene-lines. I also just finished listening to Dark Imperium 2 - there it is mentioned that the companies of chapters have grown in size to accommodate additional Primaris contingents.

Lord Nord in Gravis Armour Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 To the OP, the 2nd company has a Primaris Captain, Captain Acheran. The 2nd company makeup is detailed in the SM codex, and is roughly 70% classic marine to 30% primaris marine. Well, they HAD a Primaris Captain. Acheran is the same guy who led the Vanguard contingent that went missing during the events represented by the Shadowspear box set (yeah, he's the calm, serene Captain in Phobos Armor who's shouting while being stealthy).

Robbienw Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Ah right. I haven't read the Shadowspear fluff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenerationTerrorist Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Cheers guys. Regarding the 11th Company, is there any other knowledge about them out there? Armour Trim colour, are they a standard Battle Line Company (like 2nd-5th) or a more specialised one? I have a number of Primaris Marines (2*DI and 1*SS box sets worth, plus an easy build Redemptor and 6 easy build Reivers) waiting to be painted, and some fun list ideas for an all-Primaris force.

I believe the trim is a light blue, and from what we've seen of their captain's deployments they seem to be a varied company including Reivers, Hellblasters, Intercessors etc. Interestingly Reivers seem to be organised outside of regular companies and seem to operate in a more separate fashion from the rest of the chapter? The 11th company is led by Captain Decimus Felix. Anyone feel free to correct me.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Decimus ... I like the ring to that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I believe the trim is a light blue, So they have the same colour trim as the 9th company. That's going to get confusing. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever added that detail (expecially if it was in a novel) forgot some of the other company's colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morovir Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The Reserve Companies of the Ultramarines tend to be forgotten most of the time. That's why despite the numerous changes in the makeup of the Captains of the 1st-5th Companies, the captains of the reserves have not changed since before the Battle of Macragge.

He's also the Dark Imperium box's Gravis Captain, so I guess he changes his armour. Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
