i doubt how many people can accepts those guys.,but Orks FlashGitz surely would love them,especially for newbie of them.

I honestly don't know what has got into the designers. They are just so bizarre.

I have seen compensator cannon and T-shirt cannon.
I feel like these worth it just for the memes that maybe coming.

Add the matching body below the SM's hand and it kinda looks like he's strangling WALL-E to death

Desolation Squads. For when you really, really, really want to kill Maude Flanders.

Least terrible Primaris designs.

This image is already doing the rounds and honestly, it makes them infinity better. Only thing i'd add is a chunkier backpack. Something to make it look like it's capable of mounting a missile system.

Still disgusting.

Honestly why not give them a quad rocket launcher and call it a day?
Sometimes simpler is better afterall.

If you use the Suppresor backpack with the 4 nubs, you can replace one upper nub with the sensor pack and one with the rockets, while using the belt feed as well.

And this is in news and rumours because...??

The models were literally revealed today and people discuss what could be done with them.

They were revealed at LVO and are discussed in the LVO thread.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thought they looked more orky than anything else ^^

I could honestly see it, with a bolter, as a sorta heavy weapon for a unit.
The round mini missiles just don’t do it for me still.

It just eh, like artist being told it’s what management likes so that’s what was made.

I was agreeing with you in case there was any confusion there.

I don't... hate them. But I'm also struggling to figure out what I'm looking at. I get that some of the bits are missile launchers, an the "laser sight" part seems to be a lascannon. What is the "minigun"/"rotary cannon" part? It looks like it should be some sort of machinegun, but the projectiles poking out of the barrels look like missiles?

The symmetrical guns kind of work for me. The asymmetrical ones just look silly and awkward. If these are supposed to be primaris devastators, I think I'd prefer less of a hodgepodge. Maybe there's a way to move some of the barrels onto the left-hand wrist to make them look a bit less busy...

put in simple:A hummie version of Snazzgun.

Leave the rocet box for the terminator or vehicle (especially, dreamnight),counts as cyclone missile launcher or hunter killer mission.you can even make a dreadnought arm-mounted missile launcher.

as for these awkward little Gatling rocket launcher, it can be conversion into a good-looking Tau-style rotor cannon.
or did anyone know the movie DEEP RISING(1998)? you can make a little gatling gun like that.but it surely can only for cleaning light armored infantry.

But the better way is to give these shinny guns to FlashGitz, especially for Newbie of them, and they will have a cool Snazgun without any effort.

As for the original owners of those things, they can be used as decorations on those FlashGitz's bases.

I like the ML the marines holding, but what in the world is that belt feed for?
I think I'll build mine like this. But I'll just leave off the backpack launchers & change that belt feed to some sort of power canle.

My bet is it's a Rotary Barrel Grenade Launcher. Think about those vehicle/Dread mounted Fragstorm or Krakstorm Grenade launchers, then make it a mini gun.

If it's a gun gun, I'd try getting rid of the protuberances either by omitting the parts, or cutting and drilling them off into barrels or adding a barrel extension.

I like the backpack mount no matter what it is - but I think I'd move it to the shoulder pad, and I'd be looking for a 3D Printed cantilever system.

I kind of don't have a problem with them. 40k is supposed to have over-the-top, impractical weapons. The demand for everything to be tacticool and realistic is kind of an annoying trend these days. It bother me more when it's a vehicle shooting bits of itself or having zero ground clearence but I'm fine with this, just like I'm fine with that baby-carrier dreadnaught using a heavy bolster like a pistol.

This image just makes me want Primaris Destroyers now. Like, i get Phosphex and rad weapons are rare in 40k and isn't used often when they do have it, but surely Cawl is Smart enough and unethical enough to make Neo-phosphex and Neo-rad weapons. If he can figure out Volkite surely he can figure out what is basically Sci-fi White Phosphorous and a souped up neutron bomb.

This is just as poorly thought out as the original, not even an improvement at all.

The more I thought about the models I was looking at the more I saw just how low effort these actually are. I'm thinking to just glue HK missiles to some Intercessor bolters and not spend any money. It would look just as bad and cost next to nothing. I do hope some 3rd party 3d printing company sorts this out. GW is clearly feeling it's age. The senile old workshop just can't anymore.

Awful models. The Photoshop makes it look ok.

Errgghh.....yeah, don't like them. Why does the primaris line seem to swing from solid designs like intercessors and heavy intercessors + their derivatives (hellblasters, Eradicators) and, well, stuff like this? Doesn't help that no marine missile launcher has yet to match the original RT era design......

If they're decent I'll just convert them from spare Intercessor Bodies using spare Missile Launchers from either the Dev Kit or the regular Tac Kit. These guys are to easy to proxy, I could even look into a small Rocket pod for them.

I look forward to killing them with Devastators.

Mmmm......yes. Warp Talons tear the missile boys to shreds. Chainfist Contemptor/Leviathan wrecks the "Primaris dreadnought with TWO fists". Almost enough to bring me back to 40k for a game or two. But not quite....
