I doubt that. At least the shoulder pads seem to be separate pieces, which usually is a sign of a full kit.


Hard to say if it’s a full kit or not. Seems like an etb kit with 1 alt build per pose rather than a full kit.

I'm just pumped for Black Templars to get their own Codex again. The new models are just a bonus on top. Although that market kit really makes me happy too - Something other than 'ruined buildings or industrial pipes' for once.

They're not getting their own Codex, just a supplement to the Marine one. Y'know, the one with the horridly-proportioned dude on cover?

Ooh, forgot about those guys. Yeah, I'll count them. Death Company, not so much. They're like the Hounds of Morkai, since they only got an upgrade sprue, where as these are actual dedicated new models

Expected the box to be a bit more, like the Sisters box. Instead they give just a few units with one of those already in market AND w/o any special upgrade sprue.
Heck, at least they could've put in some exclusive BT dice inside.

Yeah, it is. They were just generic Primaris units and existing upgrade sprues, these are dedicated chapter specific Primaris models. It seems quite obvious that’s what they mean.

And it should be quite obvious that the units mentioned(which, btw, Honour Guard are dedicated models that came bundled with Calgar not just an upgrade kit) getting Chapter upgrade sprues clearly defines them as "dedicated Chapter specific Primaris models".

Black Templars are just the first ones to get a significant amount of units. And frankly, it's kind of annoying that this much work went into a Successor Chapter but didn't go into some of the Founding Legions.

Yeah, I'm still salty about Shrike not getting an Honour Guard or SOMETHING. Prior to Helbrecht showing up, Shrike and Calgar were the only two Chapter Masters that got Primaris'd. Their treatment was not equal at all.

I dunno man, the Ultramarine Honour Guard look like a dedicated chapter-specific Primaris model to me.

First thought was I like the Black Templars GW showed, except for the Emperor's Champion. I don't like him any better than I did when GW originally revealed the model.

While correct it's not like there's a big difference. I assume the sentiment here is for rules representation, which has often been asked for by many Templar players since they got rolled into the Marine codex. For GW that means Templars need dedicated models before they get any extra rules. Now they get dedicated models, they also get extra rules, extra rules need space, space is available only in a supplement because you can already beat someone to death with the Marine codex, everybody's happy, even the people who now get to pay for two books for the privilege of having "their own codex again".

I’m not talking about them. They are actually the first chapter specific non character Primaris models, yeah. I wasn’t very specific, but I meant the DC and Hounds of Morkai.

Kan, that's a load of Trollocs, and you know it - the Honour Guard are definitely specific Ultramarine Primaris sculpts, no argument, but you can't defend the Hounds of Morkai and Death Company that way.

Basic Primaris kit plus basic Primaris Chapter upgrade sprue is not the same as the Honour Guard or this Crusader squad, both of which are dedicated sculpts from scratch. Trying to claim they are equivalent is foolish at best.

You should note that I never once said the existence of models were equivalent. I said that the units were equivalent.
The Hounds of Morkai, Honour Guard, Crusader Squad, and Death Company are all the same in that they're Primarisified versions of an existing concept.

If I wanted to make an argument for models? I would have just pointed to the BA, DA, and SW Lieutenant models--all of which had unique weapon options to boot and came looooooong before the Victrix Guard.

Worth mentioning as well that Crusader Squads, prior to now, did not actually have a kit but were literally created by taking a Tactical Squad, a Scout Squad, and a Black Templars upgrade kit.

Point still remains that this is silly for people to be so ridiculously selective over what does or does not constitute "counting" for things.

I think the amount of effort being put into Marines overall is ridiculous. Black Templars are a sub-faction of a sub-faction and they get more relases than a full-fledged Xeno faction because they're Mehreens.

Admittedly that last one is a little small, it didn't contain any neophytes iirc.

It's exactly what I said it was:
A Tactical Squad with the Black Templars upgrade kit that you would add Scouts to.
So either that "counts", and so do the Death Company and Hounds of Morkai...or Crusader Squads didn't "count" as a unique unit to begin with since they were just upgrade frames.

Weird thing about the Redemptor being in the launch box is that all the other launch boxes thus far featured only wholly new models. This would be the first time that an existing model is being included in one. Kinda gakky tbh.

Personally, I think my decision as to whether or not I want to buy the box will come down to how confident I feel in my ability to shave off all those templar crosses.

They gave us a list of what games were going to have previews, so we knew it wasn't going to happen. In the past if there was a surprise announcement or whatever they usually included that as a questionmark on the list, but they didn't do so here.

It doesn’t matter whether the old kit counts as a unique unit model wise, because we’re specifically talking about the fact that it’s odd that Black Templar’s are the first chapter to get a significant amount of Primaris chapter specific models.

Bluntly, it's odd that only SOME of them are getting Primaris specific stuff.

Period. Especially given that the fricking Bolt Sniper Rifle that the Vanguard are running around with is named for and designed by Kayvaan Shrike...who's still running around like a schmuck with a bad manicure.
