I can't seem to find them anywhere, not even on GW's website. I'm sure it's right in front of my face and I'm missing it, but if anyone can provide a link to where I can buy Space Marine Lt's I'd be much obliged.

What normal lieutenants not the primarus ones?

they dont exist as a kit yet.

best option is kitbashing off a sternguard kit.

Yup. Kitbash it the way of it.

The old multi part captain, or either of the veteran boxes would make a good base. You want something more impressive then a vet sarge, but not quite at captain levels of bling.

If you have a chapter upgrade frame, he’s a good guy to use the bits on.

Or the Space Marine Commander kit.

Excellent answers, thanks guys. GW's failure to make a model for an officially sanctioned unit is rather disappointing though.

I mean it is just another power armor unit, wysiwyg kits for their equipment already exist. I was surprised they gave nonprimaris LT as an option to be honest. seemed like a good way to say Roboute added them into the command structures of chapters. that said not looking a gift horse in the mouth I just grabbed a tac marine box for the bodies and threw the right equipment on from bits in my bit box to have a handful of loadouts.

Well lieutenants existed before so there are technically official models



good luck finding them though

Given GW’s recent “no model=no rules” stance, I’m more surprised then disappointed. But I like kitbashing, and it seems like GW is slowly trying to push that out of the hobby, so will take advantage of it when I can.

Lieutenants are also not technically a new thing; they were around in the old RT days. So if you want to be hyper-100% WYSWYG you just need to find the old guy.

If it helps for ideas, here is the JP LT I recently put together. Still awaiting paint.

Personally I'm happy; the "no model=no rules" thing leads to bizzare and absurd situations like Deathwatch characters forgetting how to use Jump Packs because there's no explicit kit for it.

Darn Ninjsa. I knew I should have just lead with that guy in my first post, but thought I’d try to be more constructive first.

Search on GW site for "lieutenant". A blood angels primaris and dark angels primaris lieutenant will appear by the magic of search. The blood angels one looks easier to make non chapter specific.

Im pretty sure he meant the non primarus version.

as I noted. there is also the space marine commander box. that you can easily use to create a space Marine leuitenant.

what we are missing is a PRIMARIS Lt. but these can be kitbashed from other primaris minis (the 30th anniversiy sergent comes to mind) and if you're going to be starting a primaris army, chances are you already own dark imperium and thus have two lts.

I suppose the space marine leuitenant is simply this editions "Starter box exclusive"

Well, the old multipart kit is labelled as 'Space Marine Commander' and that is not a Space Marine rank or a codex entry, so they probably intended you to use that. But of course any marine model with proper gear will do.

There’s a Primaris Lt. in the Dark Imperium box set.

Two of them, actually, with different loadouts. It's a shame those are some of the models dropped from the cheaper 'Know No Fear' starter.

The Sternguard kit’s a good source of spare fancy bits (shoulder pads, helmets etc) for tarting something up into a Lt.

I'm planning on a dark angel vet squads with doodads added on.

As above, any particularly blingy model can represent a Lieutenant.

The Space Marine Commander kit, or a model made up of spare parts from Sternguard/Vanguard veteran kits would be great.

Use a Primaris model as a "true scale" manlette marine.

There are A LOT of things that exist GW doesn't make a model for. New codexes are getting rid of them but that makes people mad.

Arguably theres a Lieutenant in the Space Marine Command box. There's a "master-crafted bolter" in there, as well as a nice Power Fist, and a number of shoulder pad options and decorative bits. Imo that's the best place for a basic marine Lieutenant, as the box has a couple nice options, and the parts for an Ancient, an Apothecary, and a Company Champion. Technically I suppose you could turn the last model in there into a Lieutenant as well. 5 characters in one box!
