Hear me out.., the “who” he is leading is the surprise because the squat rumors are TRUE! Nah no way thats a squat.

**streetsamurai**

That boat has sailed, but it's a tragedy that they stopped doing real boxes for marines characters like they used to.

I reckon it’s Heresy.

It might be Pedro Kantor getting a Primarising and a new armament to go with it?

This. Maybe.

**WholeHazelNuts**

New Space Hulk?

**Olthannon**

I would have thought the servoskull made it 40k.

Looks like this guy but with a chainsword.

Seems too early for that, we barely had any Space Hulk-esque Rumour Engines thus far.

A wild idea - he is leading an inquisitorial team into a squat ship as a part of a new boardgame, as I think the best way to reintroduce Squats is a boardgame the way did with Deathwatch Overkill and GSC.
Its probably Kantor or something but a guy can dream... The big question is in what context does he come out- a single character as part of a new Marine supplement, a Killteam set, a campaign set? Or could be another store exclusive/limited edition model..

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Less sure it’s Avatar summoning words, but may still be.

**Iracundus**

Sounds Ynnari themed. Maybe Yncarne summoning?

**Olthannon**

Yep sounds like the whole Ynnari thing to me, but there's nowt stopping it being avatar of Khaine related either.

Darker fate be foiled is the extinction of the Eldar. Ghostly dirge being the infinity circuit which brings Ynnead to life.

Reveal for the New Gravis Captain

**H.B.M.C.**

I like him.

**MattDC**

Me too HMBC. Nice set of options on him

**zend**

Definitely better than the Dark Imperium model.

**H.B.M.C.**

I eventually grew to like the Dark Imperium model, but this is better.

I like the Chainsword as well, so it seems like something I'd pick up. I hope he has more than those two head options.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Nice model, still disappointed it’s not Heresy all the same.

**JWBS**

Meh. Over busy. And again that stupid pose, I wish they'd stop with that one.

**Nevelon**

Nice looking mini. Wouldn’t turn him away if he showed up in a bundle.

We don’t need more SM captains, but he’s nice for those who didn’t get the DV one.

**endlesswaltz123**

Only thing weird is the article, stating the last time we had a gravis captain was in dark imperium...

They must have forgot about his guy...

**Gert**

Cool, SM Codex 2.0 in like a month then.

Ah see but that is a Space Marine Captain in Gravis Armour with Master Crafted Boltrifle, not Space Marine Captain in Gravis Armour.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Ooh, also a Powerfist Option.

**H.B.M.C.**

I can't work out why you'd want a power fist. He already has a Boltstorm Gauntlet, and it does the same thing: Sx2 AP-3 D2 -1 To Hit.

He's not a Captain in Gravis Armour. He's a 'Captain with Master-Crafted Heavy Bolt Rilfe', which is a completely separate dataslate for reasons that defy all explanation.

**endlesswaltz123**

But, still in Gravis Armour.

Hmm, isn't the boltstorm gauntlet a power fist? So he can double fist up? Must be for relics for other chapters.

**Not Online!!!**

OPTIONS?!?

**H.B.M.C.**

Never said he wasn't, but they've not released a Captain in Gravis Armour since Dark Imperium. The other one is a completely different thing for *mumble mumble* reasons *mumble mumble*

**Wha-Mu-077**

This sure is a funny-looking Tau codex preview.

**petrov27**

Thank the gods that we are finally getting some Marine love here - been so long I almost forgot they were a faction

It's Monday, the day where new minis get revealed. It's day 1 of 5 for preview stuff. Jesus wept if you're going to complain, make it worthwhile.

Satisfied?

Stop. Engaging.

Seriously. Put them on ignore, report their posts as spammy/off-topic and move on.
