Next for becoming Primaris?

[Wolf Guard Dan]

I hope GW doesn’t focus on new/reborn named characters until we get some new unique units.

[Wispy]

it is cool to wonder what might be next. Ragnar was a no-brainer from the moment Primaris were revealed. What's next could be anything!

We don't have assault Gravis yet, and those could be made to look more TDA-ish with Indomitus-like helmets and whatnot. Hammers and shields, lightning claws, chainfists, power weapons... plastic Arjac would make sense alongside such a release. Wouldn't say no to a sprue that could wolf these guys up a bit; wolf claws, frost weapons, helfrost guns, that sort of thing.

 

I guess it would make sense for Primaris Lukas to wear Phobos armour, with the Pelt of the Doppelgangrel as a beefed-up Cameleoline Cloak.

[Splog]

Aggressors are assault Gravis. They have Gravis armour, two powerfists, a bonus attack, and only short range shooting weapons.

 

I get many don’t like them, but they are a ‘standard mobility assault unit’.

[Dark Shepherd]

Some form of primaris jump assault has to come in be in assault inceptors or more likely jump assault inters

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

I think we'll see the jump assault role filled when suppressors get a multipart kit. I think jump pack assault Intercessors would overlap with outriders too much.

Nah I think thats too many options in one kit for us to be blessed with :)

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

I don't know they haven't allowed for much customization on the melee weapon front, and I don't think there is a whole lot they can do with Autocannons.

[Wispy]

yeah still waiting for an jump pack melee unit in the vein of Shrike or the Suppressors.

 

i love shrikes jump pack. would love to use it for something.

I wonder what happens to Wulfen and Thunderwolves if they cross the rubicon or should we just be waitng to see the first primaris to go wulfen? 

[Wispy]

because they re-equip Wulfen armour wargear, a first born Wulfen is indistinguishable from a Primaris Wulfen.

Wulfen are unstable mutants. I can't see any being selected to cross the Rubicon and if any are mortally wounded, I suspect the Wolf Priests just quietly grant them the Emperor's mercy.

 

Model-wise the Wulfen are already Primaris scaled so I can see them redoing the models.

[Ragnar69]

They don't have to cross the rubicon, original primaris are not immune to the curse. There was some blurp ( last codex IIRC) that a unit of helblasters went berserk and used their guns for bludgeoning instead of shooting. They recovered and didn't transform, but not all trueborn do as well.

So we could have a direct transformation from primaris to wulfen.

 

But I guess that won't happen. Same models/rules for all Wulfen no matter if they have been firstborn or primaris before us more likely

I would like a wulfen character though. A reiver lord turned wulfen

Great idea! The model will likely have the option of using a fully enclosed helmet, or a Wulfen head, to demonstrate the necessity of concealing the Space Wolves' "beastmen" from Inquisitors and others who'll use the Wulfen's presence as an excuse to purge the Chapter. In-game, let's give him a Special Rule that lets him roll a D6 after each kill; on a natural 6, the character "gives into the beast within," gaining +1 Strength, Toughness, and Attack, until the next turn; the bonuses don't stack with each other.

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

So have Bran Redmaw go through the Rubicon?

[Triszin]

nothing to fancy, and not bran.

 

just a character for wulfen.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

So have Bran Redmaw go through the Rubicon?

Might as well make him the "Super Wulfen", getting a +2 bonus instead of a regular Wulfen's +1.

[Wispy]

if they ever do bran redmaw i'd like his wulfen-ness to be more subtle and ambiguous.

[Triszin]

Always wears a helmet

yeah. bare arms to make you wonder, some sort of helm or mask that's really bestial or tribal.
