He's also on a 40mm base rather than a 32mm, and he has a CCW/Power Sword, so he's a fancy-something.

And he's by himself!

I'm going to name him Steve! And no one can stop me!

There seems to only be 9 of them as well.

Plus from the datasheet the Intercessor Sgt can only carry a Bolt Rifle, Bolt Pistol and Frag/Krak Grenades like any other member of the squad. So that guy is something else.

I'm almost 100% certain the Sarge is the red helmeted guy in the back.

"Less is more" and that's perfectly okay.

Red denotes Sergeant. White denotes veteran status.

If he is some kind of "Captain", yeah. I can't spot differences between him and the other Primaris, only the sword and the base. I assume they made him of the same kit. No way I'm gonna pay more by a lone Primaris with a sword that is just exactly the same that other Intercessors

The bigger base screams "character" though.

That said, he could be a vet sergeant upgrade assuming GW withheld part of the datasheet from us.....

He has bling on his leg, and reliquary.

According to the article, the "Tactical" (I forgot their new, not-tac squad's name) Primaris marines come in squads of 5, so it seems to be more of a photoshoot setup than anything else.

I've got from a very good source that this guy will cost 33,00$ USD.

Nah just the finest of all plastic. The one and only Citadel Miniatures Plastic™!
But I just took the price of the lone Stormcast Eternals heroes from AoS and they are 33,00$ so I don't see why they wouldn't.

Does anybody have a picture of the new Cypher compaired to current space marines? I'm wondering if old space marine characters are going to get a primaris reboot.

Canadian?

anyway he is probably coming in the starter. will definitely be picking him up and if he is a captain he will be getting a cape

Anyone think that the primaris marine sales will flop after an attempt to swing space marines to the primaris as their core model? if they sell these guys for such a high price then I could see the compitition with ebay resellers and what not for cheaper older kits shutting that down. Not saying that is going to happen, just curious.

Needs more spikes and skulls. Maybe a couple burning torches and a chained open book.

Currently the newmarines are said to have no overlap with the roles of the old ones, so no.

Nope, I think they'll sell well to newcomers and to vets either starting a new army or who don't mind the scale creep, because taken on their own they look awesome.

They'll only 'fail' to those who are priced out of buying them (who would have been priced out anyway even if they weren't embiggened) and to those like me who dislike scale creep (and I would very strongly suspect that I'm in a minority there).

I'm with you. I hate scale creep.

What? Why don't you like to play with... Action figures!


He has a bionic eye!

Personally, to me this is not as Scale creep as "Scale correction" with Speesh Mureehns.

They are better figures actually then the old, and I actually like "Look, a new race of giants" better than "gee, we just made them bigger". Still don't like the general trend to larger however.

Will the best space marine miniatures ever made flop?

Not in a million years. They make the current range look like it was sculpted in the mid 90's.

Not to sound like a total fanboy but I am blown away by the bigger marines. They just look so much more like a marine should; absolutely huge and with big ass gun. The current ones just look small and awkward compared to them.

I'm not a really big fan of space marines. I have a Dark Angel force because I love the robes thing, but... 1 month ago, the Space Marine kits to me looked allright, but after seeing the Primaris ones? I just can't see them with the same eyes anymore.

Franky I'm on the boat with the "scale correction" group. To be honest the Marines we have now (which are quite a lot better than the old squatty potty ones we had) are too short. Marines have always had this problem though and frankly the fact that they,re actually going to be the proper size makes me happy.

Likewise. I've never considered Marines until I saw the Primaris sculpts. Now I'm thinking that these would look sweet in Imperial Fist livery...

I'm thinking of my own chapter, made entirely of big marines.
