Talk about people confirming their own bias... Theres many actual and confirmed things GW has do to critique them. Why is people so willing to invent and assume the worst?

Sure. Twenty bucks says there will not be any standalone Primaris codex by the end of the year - there may be new Primaris units as other 'dexes come out, but there won't be Codex: Primaris Space Marines. Do we have a deal?

Ooo, I want in on that action as well! New units but no separate codex.

I'm also willing to bet $20 that there won't be a standalone Primaris Codex before the end of the year.

Back on topic. Have there been any more leaks? I really want to see the Apothecary with a helmet and the other pistol.

This is the thread for "Space Marines - Upcoming Releases".

Could everyone PLEASE make more of an effort to keep this thread on topic?

There are PLENTY of other threads, spaces, sub-forums, etc. to discuss all the other...stuff...that's been all over this thread for the past (X) pages.

tell ya what if it Happens I'll buy you the codex. if it doesn't happen? I'll accept simply a post from you on, we'll say Christmas, where you admit you are in fact WRONG, and that GW isn't malevelontly plotting to phase out all standard space marines before the end of 8th edition.... ohh and you'll do it In Rhyme.


I look forward to your christmas post

Guys, can we stop the internet dick-measuring contest/bets? That thing Alph just said?

A blurry image, but could this be a helmeted apothecary? The pic is from the Warhammer-digital.com website

yeah that's DEFINATLY the Primaris Apocathary with a helmet on.

Yes GW, yes, give me helmeted versions of everyone!

Hmm... Apothecary is probably my least favorite mini from this batch (hey I like the Redemptor and Repulsor.. so take that for what it's worth). I would be interested to see what the helmeted version looks like but I think the model is too busy either way.. so for me, slapping even more stuff on it to make it themed off of BTs, I just can't see that being part of my plans.. I like the unit too.. just .. bleh

So the first week of Konor you get bonuses for start collecting stuff. Second week you get bonuses for Elite stuff, and conveniently all the Primaris elite units are coming out this week. Third week of Konor is a tank bonus, should we expect the Repulser to be released next weekend?

Yay! Helmets for all characters!

From what I understand it'll be repulsor, chaplain and apothecary

I've just read this. Why do primaris chaplains have an iron halo instead of a rosarius? Slight changes to the fluff like that I do not like personally, unless it is to separate/differentiate primaris chaplains from the Ecclesiarchy and/or the Imperial faith.

It could be a move to distance oneself from the Ecclesiarchy, as Rouboute was not a fan of them upon waking up.

another thing to consider is a lot of the Primaris Marines are older, many remembering the days shortly following the heresy, so yeah they could want to be further from the ecclesiarchy

Hmm... the Introduction page to the Space Marine Codex doesn't have a single Space Marine on it.

All Primaris Marines though.

I'm sure there's nothing to read into that...

Bikes down by 6, Attack bikes down by 10, is fine by my White Scars.

Centurions up by 15 removed any hope of running them from my Crimson Fists. The reduction in price for my Sternguard and Power Fists has made it likely that I will be able to run the Redemptor Dreadnought the way I want to though. Also raised the possibility of running a Librarian instead of a second Lieutenant.

"The captain could not help but feel that, in his drive for victory and efficiency, Guilliman had been careless with the feelings of his existing sons. Increasingly, Guilliman looked to the Primaris Space Marines as his first solution. He made no attempt to hide the fact that the days of the older Space Marines were numbered."

Excerpt from Dark Imperium novel by Guy Hayley.

So GW doesn't want to release rules for models they no longer make (putting them only in the Index). But riddle me this, why the heck is the wrist-mounted grenade launcher on the list even though they don't make the model for it anymore?

The obvious answer is that it was an oversight, but still.

Is there anyone actually denying that there will be phase-out of old marines to at least SOME extent?

depends how you mean phase out, they're no longer the poster boys, but I don't see them going anywhere

GW release new models, get over it. Don't see many peeps raging about how beaky marines are no longer produced.

All models are phased out over a long enough time. Some idiots think that GW will quit selling all Marine kits from pre 8th days within the next few months tho, which is obviously bs.
