They aren't too small. Marine weapons are enormous to begin with and they look fine on the primaris.

So I'm converting an Intercessor Sergeant for my Blood Angels now and I have to say a vanilla chainsword is definitely too small. Looks kinda ridiculous actually. Need to either use two different chainswords to increase the length or use an eviscerator to make it look right.

I actually just finished doing a related conversion a few minutes ago and saw this post right after taking some pics. I'm using charnabal sabres from FW's HH line and they're about the same size as chainswords and definitely smaller than the power sword the Lieutenant came with. YMMV but I don't think it's out of proportion on the low end.



I'll double check the size of the swords just in case when I go back downstairs in a few hours.

What did the Hussar wings come from?

They're from a historical kit.

Over $10? Ouch. Looks like 2 chainswords for me.

you could try making one using three layers of thin plasticard, GS & wire.

NZ Preorders are up
Looking at the intercessors sprues there is no power sword in the kit
so, looks like they want you to use the power sword in the Ultramarines upgrade kit for vanilla chapters
and I guess the Space Wolves and Blood Angels upgrade kits will have chainswords on them.

Surprising about no power sword option.

o well conversion time.

Forget the power sword lacking from Intercessors, the Hellblasters seem to only have 2 build options for their Incinerators? o_o There is only two muzzle and two powerpack options, the regular Incinerator configuration isn't there at all. Guess you gotta make them up yourself, maybe just make the Assault Incinerators but don't add the additiona railsight..? Still, wierd, also annoying that some of the Intercessor bolter arms in a unique poses have a fixed bolter configuration, though that's niggling.

Things I like - decent variety of poses, decent variety of heads, having all the stowage separate so I don't have to carve it off to do the truescale sculpting.

Things I'm slightly disappointed by - the "hip plates" on the Hellblasters are attached to the legs not the belt so will be a PITA to remove, the general lack of weapon variety.

For my purposes(turning them into truescale Marines in proper marks of armour with proper weapons) they're still perfectly suitable and I'll probably grab a few boxes once I decide which chapter/legion project to do, but as units in and of themselves they remain really quite dull and basic.

Cables. I think the difference between standard and supercharged is the cables.

Forget the Hellblaster options missing, there's no Black Templar bits in any of those kits.. WTF GW!?!?!?

Any ideas for how to convert spare Intercessor grenade launcher attachments? It would be nice to give them to a couple of Dark Imperium ones.

Cut up a normal secondus marine bolter and glue it underneath?

Well Im sad to see 40k (Primaris) go down the gurgler :( Sorry but the fun part for me was the converting and they have made it bloody ridiculous . Just checked the new Intercessor "Multi Part kit" sprue on GW site and they are still going for the Easy to build theme :(.

Cables. I think the difference between standard and supercharged is the cables.

Looks like a difference in the little scope like bit under the barrel, and if the little magazine canesters are aligned parallel or perpendicular to the barrel.

I used one of the combi bolter's from the commander box

I don't think that's very fair. They have fixed body poses when assembled per the instructions, yes, but having spent a fair whack of time and several chunks of finger converting the Dark Imperium models into truescale Deathwatch these aren't remotely comparable. You can vary arms, heads, shoulderpads, accessories, and torso fronts should they make variant ones available in future. As well, given how the parts are broken down the poses will be far easier to modify than the ETB/starter box models.

Sure, they don't have the same customisable posing as the existing Marine plastics, but that's a tradeoff for the models looking better, and lets be real, there's not actually that big a range of motion in the standard Marine kits if you want the poses to look vaguely sensible.

That's the thing, looking at the way the Incinerators are, and the fuel cell component you're suppose to slot into it, I don't think you can arrange them parallel, only perpendicular. The description of the box itself also stats you can only build two Incinerator options with it, Assault and Heavy.. did GW forget the regular kind of Incinerator exists? x) Only real way of distinguishing from Regular and Assault looking at it would be to just leave off the top scope.

There are three sets of muzzles and the description says "there are 10 plasma incinerators included, with the components required to turn any of them into an assault plasma incinerator or heavy plasma incinerator" – that sounds like base option plus two variants to me.

Ok yeah, going back thru the pictures of the sprues and assembled models, I don't think you can line that bit up parallel. Also the picture of the painted Imperial Fists that have the standard version are the models from the starter box.

There are only two sets that I can see. They're in two halves and I count ten bits.

Remember, those two sprues are used for just 5 Hellblasters, so 5 of those muzzle pairs is for assault plasma incinerators, and 5 or for normal plasma incinerators.

If I'm understanding this right there's:
The standard option
The assault (standard option with different barrel)
The heavy (standard option with cables)

You get the five for Heavy and five for assault, but none for the standard.

It's just the heavy without the cable!

Except the heavy without the cable then just has a hole where the mag should go.

What I think is interesting about the new 10-man Primaris Marine kits is that they're not.

They're 5-man kits doubled up.

Had these come out two years ago they'd be in boxes of five, but the complaints over the price and number of Sigmarines you got in a box likely made them change.

They really were going to AoS 40K with giant overpriced nuMarines.

The power sword not being included really annoys me. Not because I need it, no, I have plenty of power swords. But if they expect us to kitbash her, then why the feth would they not give more options to Primaris characters? (and why not give the sword option to the Reiver sergeant too, who would more benefit from it?)

This sounds like a good thing!
