Another primaris vehicle that looks like it was designed by Hasbro. It's a good thing it'll probably have ridiculous rules to make it sell.

Nothing regarding rules huh?

There's enough new kits for three or four weeks worth of Warhammer Community articles.

The two additional Primaris units are giving me strong Easy To Build vibes. The new Necrons and Marines are overall great stuff...but that ATV is atrocious.

Nope this was purely a model show-off session.
They also confirm that the box is basically models and rulebook and that's it. It's a launch set and will be around for the start and then vanish. It's for existing customers more than newbies.




Overall the only thing that looks lacking is the new marine buggy in my eyes. It's a bit like their "scout dreadnought" in that its just missing something and doesn't look like the kind of thing the marines would use. The buggy just doesn't seem to have enough "marine" to it. That said its marines and I don't collect them so its no problem for me. I'm also happy with the look of their bikes - they are beefy powerhouses designed to bash and force past anything that gets in tehir way rather than skip over the top light a light Genestealer Cult bike. It's a heavy boxy design of bike that befits a crusading giant in thick armour thundering over the battlefield.

Necron stuff is pure awesome and I love that they are really spreading them wider with more options and choices in the range in terms of support units.


Even though I'm into my Tyranids at the moment chances are I will want to pick up a box, depending on price; then swap over the marine content for more Necrons.

Random thought: Assault Intercessor Sergeants will have no weapon options outside of HBP/Chainsword because that's all the model has.

Anyway, pics from WarCom:






And Gav Thorp has written a tie-in book. I thought BL was meant to be going away from fiction that just existed to support the latest release:


And it has not one but two special editions. And they're different to the main book. Has GW ever heard of "Marvel Comics in the 90's"?

I would like the buggy more if it had primaris-scouts on it. But at the same time I never liked the combat bike aesthetic with marines.

It looks simply atrocious. Even if they HAD to do something that's not just a bigger attack bike they had all those Landspeeder-on-wheels conversion to copy.

I really like the Primaris bikes, though, and old school attack bikes, so I'll try and cobble together something that looks like a proper support vehicle. Maybe one of the new bikes or two with Landspeeder bits and really go for "bigger attack bike".

The Primaris Dakkagun I'm unsure about, I need more angles (on my phone, so haven't watched the video).

Depending on price I'll have to get some to turn into extreme Dakka Mek Gunz, at least.

I think the buggy as an assault bike with a side car for the rotary cannon would have been better.

They are sort of on a stormcast path with primaris aren't they?

Basic battle dudes, some 3 model flyer units
Sneaky guys called vanguard
Riders

So in 18 months should we expect the psyhic primaris to come out to mirror the Sacrosanct chamber of the stormcast?

I really like the design of the NuNewcrons, having moved away from the Tomb Kings in Space aesthetic and more of a creepy undead vibe, especially with the Plasmacyte and Reanimator. I've zero interest in playing Warhammer, but I'm going to pick them up for Grimdark Future. I'm sure there'll be some Marine player in the local community who won't want them.

Just noticed that the Heavy Destroyer has a different gun to the super-chunky one the one in the leaked group photo had.

That buggy is terrible.

The Necrons all look amazing, I'm halfway through building up my Tau force but strongly considering getting my 6th Xenos faction.

Fitted with advanced optics and wielding gauss destructors and enmitic exterminators

Probably the different weapon options.

That is literally my biggest fear about this release!


As for the buggy, It is OK. It is probably the weakest of the new marine models, but that is just simply because the rest are mostly stunning. It is definitely less goofy than the old attack bike.

Love the buggy. It's ridiculous like all 40k stuff should be. Wish it had a few more guns on it but it's still pretty great as is.

Also, attack bikes looked stupid. Having a sidecar like that is and always has been really dumb.

That Judiciar sword is more blunt than I would have liked. It looks like one of those red plastic sticks you use to spread fake cheese on crackers.

Tutut, such gatekeeping! /s

Guess I’m not a true fan of 40k as the only thing I need from this box is the rulebook. Not one of those minis interest me as I collect neither army, nor does the godawful quad bike and the gun emplacement thing (because if there is one thing a rapid insertion force needs, its static gun emplacements...).

More options, but sadly the body is identical.

Yeah, That's... uh. Something. Giving me "It's not stupid, it's advanced!" vibes.

But sure. Leave out armor on the front of your vehicle. What could possibly go wrong? Especially when your gunner can only traverse so much, and you'll be facing the enemy basically always.


Also, glad primaris techmarines are so common they can just be used as replacement gun servitors for autocannons. That's logistically sound.

.. Keep imagining the driver of the buggy suddenly separating from the rest of the chassis and zooming off on a smaller bike like Bale's batmobile.


Bit too HALOesque for me.


Destroyer very much harks back to the old concept art

Really liked everything I saw just mildly annoying they didn’t give us a price. First Sony an now GW. What’s with companies not wanting to tell their customers how much something cost. It will be the same if it’s now or next week. I need to know how much money to set aside for it. The more time I have makes it easier to collect the money.

Oh! That's why it looked so familiar!

Think you might be in the minority there.
I will be converting mine into a sidecar for sure

Yep, and this gun looks 100% better than the other one.

Looks like the old Destroyer and Heavy Destroyer units are being rolled together into the new Lokhust Heavy Destroyer which gets two weapon loadouts. I'm noticing that we've only ever seen a picture of the model on it's own so I'm guessing it'll come in squads of 1-3 like the current Heavy Destroyers, potentially no more 6 man squads.

The tech marine's right arms literally plugged into the weapon... And it's left eye... Very much AM vibes in terms of becoming one with the weapons.

I more imagine that the driver has a heavily modified helmet otherwise he's not going to be able to hear anything other the gun right above his head firing like mad.

And probably in boxes of 1 at more than the cost of what a Broadside costs now.

The buggy better have a base, otherwise there's no way I'm keeping my Ork buggies on those huge cumbersome bases...

Eww. The sidecar not only has an incredibly limited LoS compared to the turret, but it's also basically a non-autonomous suicide booth for the rider; on top of looking like something you might see on a 'look how hip we are!' Mall Carousel.

Hate the buggy all you want, but a sidecar is straight up slowed.

The side cars on attack bikes are daft, you can't fire to the right of you, ever... And they just look dumb.
