The Shadowlands of Nagarythe

I got a question for all my Brothers Astartes.

The moment I read about the Primaris' fluff I immediately knew that my Chapter wouldn't really look kindly to any Primaris "gift" that Roboute would send their way. Do note that this is not a criticism to the fluff, it's just how my Chapter Master will react - he is far too suspicious to trust a non-Unforgiven's intentions, especially considering that the gifts were not... conditioned in the Chapter since an early Age.

However I really like the way the Intercessors look and I want to paint at least a squad of them. And if I'm painting I want to at least manage to slap them in *some* games.

So I came up with the idea that my Chapter Master, the lovely human being he is, kindly thanked Girlyman for his gift before immediately tasking the poor shmucks with the most suicidal missions available - conveniently far away from the Chapter's Unforgiven Agenda, and not necessarily hoping that they succeed..

This will hopefully allow me to play them in smaller games like SW:A and Kill Team if GW releases rules for them, and actually allowed me to paint a few Primaris Marines with my Chapter's colours.

So... The question is - how will your Chapters be reacting to the Primaris Advent?

Cool stuff! I like your explanation.
As a Chaotic Astartes, my chapter will react by killing them. Just started doing that, 3 games so far, 3 victories for Slaanesh

My Blood Angels will be cautiously accepting of their new Brothers. After the attack on Baal by the Nids, they need all the new recruits they can get. Plus I am sure they are hoping that Cawl really has managed to purge the curse of the Black Rage from their blood.

My Space Wolves however won't be having anything to do with this new-fangled Primaris nonsense. They will continue to fight as Russ intended.

My Eldar will regard the new Primaris marines as excellent priority targets for the Dark Reapers.

My "Chapter", the Void Krakens, was time lost in the warp from the heresy era, popped out into the 40k era and given their "no longer on record" status they weren't able to return to the IoM freely. They are currently pressed into the service of an Inquisition force of fanatics known as "The Fiery Heart of the Emperor" who view Gulliman's revival as warp Heresy and view the Ynnari as daemon worshiping eldar. No way primaris Marines willl be sent to the Void Krakens as they aren't on any official imperial records and even if they where the Inq force that is calling the shots would put any primaris to the torch on sight for being tech Heresy and pawns of a chaos puppet.

Edit: My GK are with "heart" of the Fiery Heart force so they purge without impunity.

My Space Wolves are too busy doing a mini crusade to worry about much else. Clearly skeptical of anything coming from Girlyman but if they have the gene seed of Russ and a zeal for battle then they will give them a chance just as they gave the wulfen a chance.

Overall, mostly favorably. The Wild Fangs have been too busy fighting to worry about it, and the Chapter's strength is split across two major fronts: fighting in the Cadia sector (our GW store had a brief campaign that mirrored pretty closely how the Gathering Storm went down) and helping Imperial forces in that sector, or pursuing after the renegade Companies that turned to Chaos (my personal fluff).

As such, my Primaris Marines will be a Successor Chapter to my first one, with put together by a combined effort of the home-bound Chapter leadership and local Munitorum and Ecclessiarchy leadership as a part of a larger "crusading force" to protect their sector.

Modeling wise, they will have a new color scheme that I will also use on other Imperial forces to have a large and cohesive Imperial army, combined of Primaris, Tempestus, Sororitas, Knights, and anything else that may strike my fancy. I will still mixing in bits and iconography from various Chapters to represent different Companies. Mostly, I am tired of painting the same color scheme on my models over and over - I am ready for a new color scheme for my new Space Marines. At least, I think so, I'm not sure every time I think of it. I may paint the Dark Imperium set to match my current Marines and then wait for the individual kits to paint up the new color scheme...

Working on it

I'm not quite sure as the Carcharodons are quite hard to find. Although I do like to think that they brought in at least a few old Carcharodons who know most about the chapter to teach the new Primaris the ways of the chapter and its history.

Personally, I'll be playing them as a force slightly larger than company size, their a new company tasked with reinforcing the current Carcharodon fleet to reinforce it. I considered doing a Successor Chapter of them, but felt a Company would do better following the Nomad-Predation pattern

Definitely going to have a gritty feel

<Dynasty> ~10500pts
War Coven of the Coruscating Gaze ~3000pts
Thrice-Damned Plague Corps ~3250pts
Admech (TBN) ~3500pts +30k Bots and Ulator

If I had a Marine chapter, it'd be World Eaters (stretching it with the definition of 'chapter' considering it's a Chaos warband).

They'd recognise Thunder Warriors from the last time they genocided them...and set out to do it again.

Props for having your dudes react the exact way 99% of the Imperium should have reacted to the events of the Gathering Storm.

In the new Dark Imperium Novel it talks about how they teach how to make Primaris Marines to each chapter, so my Dark Angels are gonna accept them. Is just other form of making better marines recluting from their normal recruitment worlds.


It isn't all Primaris Marines are made on Mars and sent to other chapters.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

My current project, my Space Wolves, are a 13th Company force that was bought and assembled by another player back during the Eye of Terror campaign in 4th Ed. I'm repurposing them fluff-wise as a current-age Lost Company/13th Company, trapped on the eastern side of the Rift and cut off from Chapter support, forced to rely on captured and reconsecrated armor sections.

So not only does it mean they don't give a damn about the Indomitus Campaign and adopting the Primaris project, but it also solves the fluff problem with the old 13th Co. plastics: as they were originally sold as boxes with a mix of Imperial and Chaos sprues, a large number of them have many power armor sections that are way too modern for original Heresy marines, and now I don't have to conveniently ignore that.

Interesting. Do you think the Iron Hands as a whole would be willing to accept the Primaris Marines? Do you think the Iron Hand Primaris marines would modify themselves as the current ones do or do you think the addition of the Primaris might be the change in direction that the Iron Hands need?

My chapter, the Ash Wyrms, has been split up by the Cicatrix Maledictum. A large portion of the Chapter's forces had been sent to the area around the Eye of Terror, and thus became unable to return to their homeworld (which is on the other side of the rift) after the Fall of Cadia.
The rest of the Chapter is attempting to defend its home sector, which is now beset on all sides by Chaos and Tyranids.
Both portions of the Chapter have been heavily depleted by all the fighting, and would gladly welcome reinforcements of any kind. However, it is not yet certain if Primaris reinforcements will be able to make it to the Chapter's homeworld.
The portion that is on the right side of the Rift however is more than happy to receive Primaris upgrades.
(This is how I can justify having both Primaris and non-Primaris forces of my Chapter).

Primaris Marines are still just flesh. Flesh is weak.

I know, that's why I was asking Nova_Impero the questions to see how he thinks the Iron Hands might react as his Iron Hands would take them on willingly. Would they welcome the Primaris if they remained un augmented? Would the Primaris have any form of influence over the Iron Hands showing that the flesh isn't as weak as the Iron Hands might think? Would the Primaris augment themselves or would they have different opinions on it, even though they were of Iron Hands stock?
