Pretty much all Characters from the dark Imperium box are exclusive to it. It's annoying to be honest. Fingers crossed we get the full kits from Shadowspear before it's anniversary


Edit: I think only the Primaris Lt with power sword is technically the only unit that isn't exclusive to it anymore

Even then, it's a different sculpt.

Primaris Company Command bundle, eh GW? Gravis Captain, both Lieutenants, and the Ancient? Some kind of fluff like "Space Marine Companies are led by the most esteemed and courageous of their brethren. Captains lead from the front, while their trusted Lieutenants command other regions of the battlefield, all under the inspiring view of the Company Banner, borne into battle by an Ancient."

They cant do that with the current sculpts though. The lieutenants and ancient are on the same sprue as an Intercessor squad.

If they're CAD-sculpted they can just make a new sprue with them - like they did with the Sacristan Forgeshrine & Urban Conquest.

I could see them doing a Gravis Captain kit if they expanded the options for him. Let him upgrade ranged and close combat weapons to something different and add 4 more arms onto a sprue. I'm sure it would sell.

Even if it wasn't as a stand-alone kit it could be done. There is a rumored Gravis expansion. If they did a Gravis captain like they do Custodes the Captain could just be a different head/arm option in a specialist Gravis armor unit. Heck, I'd love to see a jump-pack gravis armor captain.

Given the option I don't know that I want GW to follow the Custodes model of [number]-man kits that can also build Gravis or Incursor characters. If a three-man kit for a minimum three-man unit can also build a character then you can wind up having to buy a lot of the kit to get the numbers to come out even. I think I'd rather have a dedicated multi-option Gravis Captain kit instead.

Considering how GW has been releasing nothing but mono-pose characters with no options for Primaris I'm not optimistic for getting a dedicated Gravis Captain kit with anything beyond the existing options though.

(Also, I'd rather have Primaris Jetbikes than more Incursor options, but I don't know how GW could do that without invalidating Incursors altogether.)

Let's not forget the Granddaddy of them all, the plastic Ork Deffcopta. I know it was technically available in the Battle for Vedros kits, but I don't really consider that a 40k release.
