Hey, folks just visited YouTube and a leaked and heavily pixelated pic was presented in the vid. It showed a new Prim. Landspeeder, Prim. Bikes and a Prim. Baal Predator.

Special mention goes to the Landspeeder. It's gigantic and screams out the Prim. propaganda like nothing else:

"Bigger is better."

Anyway, see you in 2020 for more Prim. bs.

The quality is but yeah we can clearly see the new land speeder.

Sure that tank isn't just a Repulsor? And those bikes are so grainy it's impossible to tell if they are new or just the old ones.

Possible an adapted (not converted, mind) Repulsor hull.

I've got a feeling that the one in the bottom left is an Impulsor chassis. Can't wait to get a better view.

What's the point of a primaris land speeder? Don't their tanks already float?

It's a Primaris jeep. What you should be asking is why marines don't have jeeps.

A jaded hobbyists opinion? As a more expensive replacement for the regular model. 2x or more the size, loaded with more guns, 3x the price.

Isn't the Land Speeder able to fly in low altitude? Which isn't the case of the Repulsor.

But I agree the goal is most likely to sell a bigger and more expensive version.

The 'new' tank might just be the latest version of the Blood Angels only Baal Predator variant?

I would be grateful for some Primaris bikes to go with a Primaris Land Speeder.

I gave up on 40K Regular Marines a while ago.

But what I'd really like is some true dedicated assault marines for Primaris...

The silhouette looks nice.

The Primaris Infenestrator: The thrown brick of the emperor, smasher of the window of heresy.

Speeder looks like a twin turret in the nose, possibly the same twin heavy bolter as the repulsor. Optimally with twin Las options. Side sponson off the impulsor. Rear turret that could be missile pods or some sort of communication array.

Bottom right looms like straight impulsor. Tank to the left looks like a modified impulsor hull with maybe a nose gun and shrunken repulsor turret- cannon on the nose, Icarus rocket pods on the sides, antennae on the back.

Bikes look like rider and gunner behind him.

Being painted in BA colours is interesting. A new codex so soon after Blood of Baal would be a bit cheeky.

Ultramarine bike however suggests it'll be a marine-wide release again, so I'd expect it to be new edition/starter/random campaign.

They never said that the Psychic Awakening books preclude codices from coming out.

Land Speeders are speedy floaty. Repulsors are tanky floaty.

Maybe it will be out in time for dark angels to have primaris ravenwing in RotD.

Guesses:

-$55 per model, at least.
-No fewer than five listed weapons (each will annoyingly be subtly different from every other version of the same weapon in the Space Marine codex)
-At least one will feature a "stubber" variant with no fewer than three adjectives preceding the word "stubber".
-Better in every way than the preceding landspeeder.

Really?

Just what we were in dire need of! More primaris!

Light Heavy Leadstorm Stubber Rockets is the bit you can actually see at the back. They're actually cluster missiles built by Cawl for close-range aerial engagements, which is why they're angled toward one another - they're actually intended to hit each other about 20 yards ahead of the plane, creating a deadly stream of explosive shrapnel. As they fly through the air the Light Heavy Stubbers built in to the missiles fire, which are the same as regular heavy stubbers but they use the Assault instead of Heavy rules. They're also heavy 4, but on a 6 to hit they get to reroll a 1 to wound.

They're a really innovative addition to the primaris arsenal and i'm really excited for them. The homeruns just keep coming from Games Workshop!

Indeed! I am really happy about this!

Seems pretty odd that they didn't include these in the 4 month old Space Marine Codex. There's no way these weren't finished models even before the codex released. One reason I stopped playing 40k was the constant invalidation of books even months after release. I guess in this case the Codex isnt invalid, but when I used to buy a codex, I expected that for at least a year I wouldn't need any other rules documents and models. If Primaris are released at this rate, how long till SM codex 3.0 and 6 more supplements to buy?

Can we just pretend that we have three pages of this comment and move on to talking about other aspects of this? I mean I get it, I play necrons, we've gotten one new model in the past 8 or so years, so I completely get the frustration. However cathartic it might be to vent one's spleen on this topic, page after page of it isn't interesting or useful.

Man, the rules leaking early really takes my enjoyment out of releases

I've said this a million times between here and reddit. The space marine line, aka the LARGEST line in the franchise, is being COMPLETELY revamped. From end to end. So not only does this mean we're going to see dispraportionate marine-majorty releases for a while, but they probably had to make the call between waiting until the entire line was out to release a codex, orrrrrr take the more profit-oriented path and release codexes every major wave or two.

I think as a business one of those makes way more sense than the other.

Inb4 living digital document yes I know I too wish they'd join us in this millennium, I'd be happy to pay a monthly fee for a single updated service or just pay to have it updated whenever something was released. But sadly that's not where they're at.

AdMech say "Sup", given that we've had three units(Skorpius Disintegrator, Skorpius Dunerider, Techpriest Manipulus) and two characters(Daedolusius and X-101) released with nothing more than rules via their included material.

Additionally, when Shadowspear dropped? Marine players had a downloadable document and/or rules included within the box for the Shadowspear stuff and the Repulsor Executioner.


It's amazing how often people seem to forget about the fact that GW has done things without needing a codex release.
