Product Information

Here were warriors whose genetic composition was closer to their own primarch, Rogal Dorn, than had ever before existed. For his raw material, Cawl had selected warriors of Terra, and had taken them only a few generations after the original Imperial Fists had been created by the Emperor. Indeed, some had been held in stasis since the days of the Great Crusade; a few of the Primaris Space Marines could recall having seen Rogal Dorn himself. The kit includes 16 right-hand shoulder pads adorned with the iconic Intercessor iconography, with enough variety to cover each of the different bolt rifle variants. Additionally, there are 24 different head options to choose from, including helmeted and bareheaded options. With this kit, you can assemble a 10-man squad or two separate 5-man squads, each led by their own unique Sergeant. In most Chapters, Space Marines progress through the Reserve Companies -- from the 9th through to the 6th. During his time in the Reserve Companies, a battle-brother will prove his mettle while learning new methods of warfare.

In case you missed it, GW confirmed that regular Marines are getting extra wounds in addition to a huge wargear update. With these two things on the way for pretty much everyone in power armor in October’s Space Marine Codex, it’s left us with a few questions. What’s The Point of Primaris Intercessors Now? On battle-scarred Rynn's World, the arrival of the Indomitus Crusade broke the Daemonic legions of the Daemon Prince Rhaxor. After the fighting was done, the Crimson Fists marvelled at the return of Roboute Guilliman, but were even more grateful for the arrival of Primaris Space Marines bearing their own heraldry. In reality, Intercessors are harder to transport and the most useful model in the unit is the sergeant with a melee weapon. On the other hand, for every five dudes in a Tactical Squad, you can take a Heavy or Special weapon in addition to whatever the Sergeant brings.

Updated Tac Ops

This armour would evolve over time to fit the steadily expanding scope of the new Space Marines battle doctrine, adding stealthy terror troops in slimmed-down Mk X Phobos armour while Intercessors took up new plasma weaponry to become fearsome Hellblasters . Roboute Guilliman’s adaptability flew in the face of the Imperium’s stagnant attitude towards innovation, and new Primaris formations sprang up with each new challenge the Adeptus Astartes had to face. In the pursuit of his attempt to improve upon the original Space Marine template, Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl collected samples of the genomes of all twenty of the original primarchs, including those deemed Lost or Traitors, though Roboute Guilliman made clear to his overeager servant that Primaris Astartes were to be created only from one of the lines of those of his brothers who led the nine Loyalist Space Marine Legions. Belisarius Cawl and Roboute Guilliman, deep beneath the surface of Mars, oversee the final stages of development of the Primaris Space Marines for the Ultima Founding. Though they now stand a step above their Firstborn Astartes brethren, all Primaris Space Marines are still created using the original gene-seed of one of the Loyalist primarchs, like all other members of the Adeptus Astartes. Many others among the Firstborn have since risked their lives in such a way after witnessing the undeniable battlefield capabilities of the Primaris Space Marines in action.

When the Adeptus Astartes fight, Command Squad • Reclusiam Command Squad • Captain • Primaris Captain • Lieutenant • Primaris Lieutenant • Company Ancient • Company Champion What do you think the answers to these three questions are? How do you feel about comparing Intercessors to Tactical Marines? Is it about like comparing apples to oranges? Active for over a standard century well into the 42nd Millennium, they were comprised of nine Space Marine Legion-sized armies of Primaris Marines, all drawn from the lineage of one of the 9 primarchs who had led the Loyalist Space Marine Legions during the Horus Heresy.Unlike their predecessors, who treated their power armour like holy relics and treasured every bracer, greave, and pauldron, the Primaris Space Marines had specialised purpose-built armour types to suit their many roles. Intercessors wore the baseline Mk X Tacticus suit, which mirrored the balance and flexibility of the older armour marks, while frontline Captains and assault troops like the Inceptors wore the heavier Mk X Gravis armour.

Furthermore, the Codex allows for each Battle Company to be bolstered with additional squads reassigned from the Reserve Companies; the presence of these warriors can take a company's numbers temporarily above the traditional limit of 100 Astartes, lending them the additional strength to overcome especially challenging foes. Though they are a step removed from their brothers, the Primaris Space Marines still bear the gene-seed of their primarchs, and some dissenting voices worry how this new type of warrior will react with the known genetic quirks and flaws of some of the more unusual Chapters, such as the Blood Angels and the Space Wolves. The Primaris Space Marines offer new hope to a besieged Imperium, but the future remains a dark and uncertain place... Every company has its own Dreadnoughts; after being interred in the metal sarcophagus, it is customary for a fallen Space Marine to fall under the care and maintenance of the Chapter Armoury, but to remain a part of the company in which he served.Equally, some Chapters may furnish their Terminator Squads with transport in the form of gunships and battle tanks, and field them as swift and utterly unstoppable assault forces. The risks involved in such an action are high, for every suit of Terminator battle-plate is an irreplaceable relic, and those who wear it to battle are scarcely less valuable -- should such a force suffer heavy losses or, worse, be annihilated, their Chapter may never truly recover. Dreadnought ( Castraferrum Dreadnought • Siege Dreadnought • Hellfire Dreadnought • Ironclad Dreadnought • Venerable Dreadnought • Mortis Dreadnought • Chaplain Dreadnought • Librarian Dreadnought • Furioso Dreadnought • Death Company Dreadnought • Redemptor Dreadnought ( Brutalis Dreadnought • Ballistus Dreadnought) • Wulfen Dreadnought • Doomglaive Dreadnought) • Nemesis Dreadknight • Invictor Tactical Warsuit Each member of an Intercessor Squad carries some variant of a Bolt Rifle, the standard Mark II Cawl Pattern version of which has a longer range and greater armour penetration than the older pattern bolter. Additionally, each Intercessor also bears a Bolt Pistol and Frag and Krak Grenades. Can be assembled as either a 10-man squad, a squad of 9 Intercessors with a Sergeant or 2 separate 5-man squads, each with a Sergeant of their own
