Warhammer Community Page just released a teaser video for the Redemptor Dreadnought. Looks like a cross between a regular Dread and Contemptor. Has a big old dreadfist with what looks to be an underslung melta gun, then a big, long plasma cannon, and most notably: Two twin linked nipple heavy bolters. I can't tell you how erotic in a Freudian way this guy makes me feel. Think about all that we know about 8th edition so far. If those nipple heavy bolters are in fact twin linked, you are looking at 12 S6 Rend -1 shots in addition to whatever else that Plasma Cannon does. The meltagun is pretty much a "whatever" compared to the Plasma and Nipple Heavy Bolters.

Which brings me to what I think will be my new Chapter of Primaris Space Marines: The Knights of Ultramar, or "Ultra Knights"! Pretty catchy, eh?

But the legs, tamwulf! the legs! it might actually be able to walk properly!

I have to admit, i'm liking what i saw in that. Dreadnoughts have always been my weak spot.

it's beautiful, definatly gonna snag some of those, taking a guess as to it's weaponry, it's gonna be a Primaris Plasma Cannon (which should basicly be a AOE styled version of the Primaris plasma gun, assume it'll have 40 inch range) 2 twin linked bolters, the big question is if they'll be heavy bolters, bolt rifles, or assault bolters a Power Fist that won't swing at -1, the metla gun may be a metla gun or just a flamer, eaither way yeah, it's almost an after thought in comparison

Honestly I like the models but hate the concept. There are so many armies that need attention but we get Primaris marines instead. Regardless of my opinion though they're here to stay. At least I can look forward to stacking their corpses high and cutting down my groups marine players army after he gets done preaching how super awesome his numarines are.

I don't remember what i voted for, but the more I think about it, the more I really dislike the fluff. In particular, I dislike the fluff as justification for the models.

So what are AA now? Chumps? No longer the Angels of Death, but the Angels of Beat-You-Up?

Sure, there are now true scale marines, but they should be AA. I'd rather GW just made the new models AA and were just honest and said "yeah, we're making new models to finally fit their correct size according to the fluff". But they had to twist the fluff and find some reason to sell more minis (as if these wouldn't sell like hotcakes anyway).

Anyway, just really not digging what the game/40k U may look like in 2-4 years. AA become obsolete (both fluff-wise and in-game), possible jarring visuals on the game board, SM players playing Proxyhammer, etc.

The only thing I think that could make me happy is if after a year or 2, GW just figures out some way to write the Primarines to inherit the Adeptus Astartes moniker.

Anyway, end of my I swear there's no

The only way this would be cool is if I could model them after Sif and Artorias.

I really wanna know how gw will make this fit in with csm. They said in the FAQ that csm will get goodies their way, but so far we've only seen nurgle-esque stuff.

Will there be chaos undivided nu-marines, that's my question. If so, how will they fit into the fluff.
