Grey Knights are widely considered the worst codex of 8th. Many of the buffs other marines enjoy they missed out on. I really think they should have access to some primaris marines, but altered slightly (with appropriate points adjustments.

Interssessors gain brotherhood of psychers, and the Sergeant has the option to take a force sword. They will also benefit from the psybolt ammo strategem.

Personally I hate the fluff for primaris marines, so I’m biased but Indont really think they are what we need...they don’t add a lot that we don’t already have. What we need are better weapons options; I.e. something that resembles plasma, melta, etc. Even though they suck right now I’ve wishing for GK centurions since 7th (with GK-suitable options). What we really need though is the opposite of primaris marines: bring back inquisition options to give us cheap bodies to supplement our otherwise very expensive options and give the army more flavor as the Ordo Malleus rather than a super unique space marine chapter.

I would rather it simply be an option for existing squads.

Strike, Purgation, Purifier, Terminator, and Paladin squads: You may upgrade any model in these units to be a Primarus Marine for 8 points per model. These models gain +1 Wound and Attack.

Grand Masters, Brother Captains, Librarians, Chaplains, Company Champions, Ancients, Paladin Ancients, and Tech Marines may be upgraded to a Primarus Marine for 15 points each. These models gain +1 wound and attack.

Add Primarus Repulsor Tanks and Dreadnoughts.


Give us more Grey Knight type vehicle weapons.

Dreadnoughts should have twin-psycannons/Heavy Psycannons as an option, as well as a Gatling Psilincer.

Land Raider should have a twin-psycannon instead of twin-heavy bolters. Heavy Psycannon/Gatling Psilincer instead of twin-assault cannon.


Add some specific Primarus units.
