OutlawSixActual Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Browsing through the new Ultramarines supplement, and found this reference to "Hellfury" squads as a potential step up from "Hellblasters" - anybody heard of this? Something coming down the pipe? My conspiracy-addled brain is telling me this will be a Gravis-based plasma unit - elsewhere on the page, there is reference to progression from Incursor (Phobos) to Inceptor (Gravis), but in reality that's a bit of a reach and I'm not sure where else they would fit. Any thoughts on this?? Panzer, Triszin, Doctor Perils and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Maybe a flamer based unit? The flamer bit was still unaccounted for (Think someone said it didn't quite match the Invictor's Incendium flamer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawSixActual Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 My guess is that they are an anti-armor aggressor type - melta or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Melta in Nu-pods, for sale as soon as old-pods get close to selling out. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm gonna put my money on a Melta based version of the Surpressors. Mainly because they'd be cool. Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splog Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Nevermind Hellfuries should be longish range. For Gravis that might be as much as 24” Edited August 18, 2019 by Splog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 it mentions inceptor to incursor in the same breath, so hellblaster to hellfury could be a heckuva leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorNese Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Furies being flying beings, sure it's not just the flying Hellblaster version, a.k.a. Inceptors with plasma? The same leap from non-flying to flying version was made a sentence later with Incursors to Inceptors. Edited August 18, 2019 by MajorNese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on this?? Hah, nice catch! Considering Eliminators and Hellblasters both are Fire Support squad types using Phobos and Tacticus armour respectively and the text talks about the 9th company which is the Reserve Fire Support company, I'd definitely agree that it sounds like it's a Gravis Fire Support squad.

The same leap from non-flying to flying version was made a sentence later with Incursors to Inceptors. Absolutely postive its not that, as they're not ever mentioned as being called such ever. The different name means it'd be a different data sheet for a different unit. Plasma armament is a weapon switch for the Inceptors on the one data sheet, just as las fusils are a weapon swap on the same unit with the same name in the case of Eliminators.

Marshal Reinhard Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 On a different note, the allusion to an existing different unit, that isn't described or has a datasheet, but is probably likely to get a release, is a little groanworthy in that we JUST got a 2nd SM codex for this same edition... and it itself is potentially heralding its own incompleteness here.

Plasma armament is a weapon switch for the Inceptors on the one data sheet, just as las fusils are a weapon swap on the same unit with the same name in the case of Eliminators. Not to mention that Inceptors have no place in the 9th company since they are close support and belong into the 8th company as the text already mentions even.

That is kinda to be expected though? As long as GW doesn't declare a whole faction as "finished" there will always be new releases and those won't always come with a whole new Codex.

Cleon Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I find it strange that they are talking about 9th company and don't mention Aggressors (At least for the Blood Angels aggressors are always shown as fire support, I assume the same for codex), I can imagine Hellfury is a name they've chucked around for flamer Aggressors and just forgot they didn't use.

Aramis K Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 To me furies says flight. So my guess is they'll be the alt build for suppressors. Melta seems a good bet too - I don't see space for another Plasma unit. Dark Shepherd 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbienw Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There a few things mentioned that don’t have rules (yet). Veteran inceptors in the 1st company, BT Primaris Crusader squads, and if the wording on the life of the Primaris marine is to believed, Primaris Scouts.

Marshal Rohr Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 A Primaris Scout is just a normal scout, per Jes and Wade’s conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
