emperorpants Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Based the the bolt rifle vs the bolter, I expect the heavy bolt rifle will be heavy 3, strength 5, ap 2, and damage 1, I don't think they will change the range though, so the range will stay 36 inches. They will for sure be 3-6 squad size. Do you guys think they will get the same shoot twice rule as the eradicators?

Boyadventurer Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm a little late to this specific thread so forgive me if I repeat something. In the other threads, when we still had the pretty small picture of the Heavy I, I was pretty adamant it wasn't gravis, but the better photo in this thread has me changing my mind. I remember in one of the Voxcast episodes, Jes had said that they had units for each battlefield role in each armour type, and these guys being in gravis would finally fulfill that (which is sorta crazy to think about).I for one welcome our new Gravis clad, heavy bolt rifle wielding overlords. For what seemed to be the "melee" release, there's a lot coming that will look real nice in yellow! painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Heavy Bolt Rifle...bit odd. I could actually see it being something like 36" range, Rapid Fire 2 with AP1 and strength 5. Guess we will find out in time but it certainly is odd, so now we need a Gravis Captain release to cover HQs :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondish Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Heavy Bolt Rifle...bit odd. I could actually see it being something like 36" range, Rapid Fire 2 with AP1 and strength 5. Guess we will find out in time but it certainly is odd, so now we need a Gravis Captain release to cover HQs The TOC for the new Codex actually mentions a captain with master crafted heavy bolt rifle, and the snippet we have of him also appears to be in Gravis as well. My hope is that he'll be a multi-part kit that will allow both Gravis captain builds so we can finally have a separate source of the DI Gravis captain. But I think you're right, aside from the DI guy, we have the following Gravis breakdown: HQ - Gravis Captain already exists, but availability is currently zero as mentioned Troops - Heavy Intercessors, as speculated Elites - Aggressors Fast Attack - Inceptors Heavy Support - Eradicators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Was the quote for battlefield role in terms of lore or tabletop? Lore wise aggressors are also fire support, and we don’t have a proper veteran variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymnblade Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Aggressors are Fire Support (which always seemed strange to me - why aren't they Close Support?), and Eradicators are clearly Fire Support as well. But if there's supposed to be a Battleline Gravis unit, Heavy Intercessors would fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Regardless of the ever changing lore GW would do well to follow this plan of each armor having a unit that fills each slot in a detachment. Lord_Caerolion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrouble Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’d throw my hat in with the folks saying 36” Heavy 3 S5 AP-2 D1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST.Lazarus Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Seeing as we have no primaris hq with a rapid fire bolt weapon I would say rapid fire s5 -1ap d1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I would very much like it if one of these units was actually a veteran unit (it could be the aggressors, they’ve got punch and shoot capabilities, and are already in the elite slot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is OT but you didn’t answer my PM. I ordered the Indomnitus box set from an FLGS you recommended - checking with Fedex the package still has not been dropped off for delivery. I would have thought your FLGS would have dropped it off by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 So, the eradicators have a standard abdomen with belt like the tor garradon one. Which seems to match the heavy intercessor pictures which lends some weight to the idea of a dual kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I really don't know in what world marines needed T5 W3 troops given the rest of the codex as well. If Eradicators are anything to go by, they won't be particularly expensive points-wise either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
