Sanguinary Guard Ancients are really good. No morale tests and reroll 1s in combat within 6", -1Ld to enemies within 3", and 3 attacks at AP-3/Damage d3.

Going forwards, every new/reboxed unit will have their rules in the box.

Dunno why they didn't copy Sigmar in this regard, but we'll see what happens when the new 40k app comes out.

Anyone else doing their Primaris marines as Black Templars? I'm looking for inspiration and ideas, so I guess nice looking non-Primaris BTs might work too?

I'm almost done with a Raven Guard bigmar:


All that's left is clean up my sloppy highlights.

I find myself paralysed by choice once again. There's so many interesting ways I could paint these dudes. I was going for Raven Guard at first but I also kind of like the notion of a traditionalist space wolves successor that still wears 30k colors and look down on the modern SWs and their wolf mounts.
But bigmars would also look nice in Blood Angels colors, and I like the Salamanders, and the FULMINATORS ultramarines crack me up

SRM has posted some nice BT's in the old thread if you click on his posts.

Here's a link to his contributions in the painting thread. Some sexy 30k Ultras too.

From a fluff perspective, I feel like the Templars (as well as possibly the Imperial Fists) might not be so big on Primaris marines. There's the whole Gulliman vs. Dorn rivalry, plus the Templars being so close with the Ecclisarchy are bound to be against any of Cawl's innovations.

Nevertheless, go for it (the above is just my opinion)!

That's not unreasonable.

Crimson Fists being at half strength though makes me feel like they'd go all in on biglies.

I tried this but it looked a bit off to me. I feel like the bigmar heads are very slightly larger than the old marine heads.

Would a close combat Knight be too much? I feel like it would only good useful for taking on other knights and other models with large amounts of wounds.

You are correct, they are no longer one-use weapons.

You can choose to fire them as either profile, or fire them as both profiles (suffering a -1 to hit modifier for doing so).

They're two guns welded together and if you want to fire them both you take a -1 penalty to hit.

I think the fists would be fine with them. They are pragmatists to a fault. Dorn actually thought up a plan for the successor chapters to disband and reform the Fists if they ever suffered debilitating casualties.

I believe you can if it's an assault or open topped vehicle.

Correct. Instead, you disembark 3" (If I remember right), move your units and your transport, then you assault. Open-topped or Assault Vehicle are no longer needed.
Basically it works like it did before 6th edition (where units like Banshees and the like were semi-useable) with the added option of assaulting with your transport at the same time as your unit(s).

They're no longer "needed" to be able to disembark and assault, but the assault range drops now, since I can't move the transport before disembarking from it.

It's better for Berserkers and stuff that couldn't charge from their Rhinos at all, but it's worse for armies that already had "assault vehicles" at their disposal.

You can move and assault after you disembark. If you need to keep them in the transport another turn, keep them in the transport.
