What are you basing this on, exactly?


On the fact that the description at GWs website says he is wearing Gravis Armour. But the model that has that description every one says is the regular primaris captain, and not the Gravis Armour one.

It is all there in the original post. Press the link, read the description (I provided the description in text.)

My confusion came from me not finding the model in the codex. Clearly a datasheet is missing or they have a wrong description.


Except you keep missing datasheet has everything gravis has. T, wounds, keyword.

Why you keep insisting what isn't true?

I think it’s a labeling issue, and can see where some of the confusion stems from. Let’s look at our captains:

Primaris Captain
Captain with MC HBR
Captain in phobos armor
Captain in gravis armor
Captain in terminator armor
Captain
Captain on bike

Those are the names from the datasheets in the codex. With the exception of the Captain w/ MC HBR every captain in non-basic armor has it called out in their name. He does not. If he was to fit the pattern, he should be something like “Captain in gravis armor with master crafted heavy bolt rifle” Which is a bit of a mouthful.

The stats/keywords/etc are all fine, but the label breaks the pattern.

I... I posted a picture of the entry in the Codex. How did you miss that?

What does this paragraph mean?

Are you confusing him with this guy? Their descriptions aren't the same:

Primaris Captain - Space Marine Captains are both superlative warriors and strategically gifted commanders who lead Space Marine companies into battle. Those Primaris Captains who favour Mk X Tacticus armour are amongst the most determined and unstoppable of their ilk, and they let nothing keep them from their duty. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Primaris Captain. His Mk X Tacticus power armour is larger and more powerful than the armour of his predecessors, and he carries in his right hand a choice of master-crafted bolt rifle or master-crafted stalker pattern bolt rifle, with a box magazine and overcharger.

Captain with Master-crafted Heavy Bolt Rifle - Space Marines on the defence fight with a tenacious fury. Captains will take up heavy bolt rifles to lay down punishing fire and wear Gravis armour to withstand the foe's best attempts to dislodge them. Fighting in such a way, they are a symbol of the Space Marines' indomitable will to never fail. If you need to hold your ground at all costs with an indomitable Space Marine commander, look no further than this tooled up Captain. Not only is he clad in Mark X Gravis armour for additional protection, but he’s equipped with artificer weaponry in the form of a master-crafted heavy bolt rifle and master-crafted power sword, so is handy in a fight at every range.

What do you mean "every one says"? What are you talking about?

There are two Captains wearing Gravis armour. One is called the "Captain in Gravis Armour" and the other is called the "Captain with Master-Crafted Heavy Bolt Rifle".

You said his statline doesn't reflect his Gravis armour, when in fact it clearly does. And then you said the datasheet was missing from the Codex. How would you know his statline if you can't find the datasheet?

What are you talking about?
