The on page text says something about how it's the magazines that are the differing factor with the bolters so... idk?

You mean the bolt rifle? You slot in the scope/drum mag depending on whether you want stalker or auto.

No, the detached looking piece attached to the body. I was weirded out when I saw that as well though. E: He's talking about the harness, I'm pretty sure

Can I use the Primaris bros with scoped bolt rifles as the long-ranged heavy variant? I've noticed that the two Intercessor squads have different styles of bolt rifle

The box magazine is the Auto Bolt Rifle, the scoped one is the Stalker Bolt Rifle.

If you look closely at the end of the piece that's hanging you can see it's slanted in such a way that it would fit flush with the body of the marine

goose willis posted:I meant the Dark Imperium ones unless that's what you're referring to AFAIK the only difference between the DI guys with regular scoped bolt rifles vs the actual stalker bolter intercessors is a sickle magazine versus a straight one on the stalker, and a slightly different scope design, but no one would really be able to tell.

goose willis posted:Is anybody going to throw a hissy fit if I use the scoped ones as the sniper variant I really doubt anyone would care unless you're in a tournament or something. I'm actually building all of mine with the box magazines, partially because I like how they look a bit better and partially because I'm pretty sure Blood Angels will get the ability to advance and charge with our codex, making assault weapons really strong. In the meantime I'm just going to say they're the normal bolt rifles because there's no way anybody I play with would look that closely at the models or care if they noticed the difference.

I'm going to try making an all-Primaris force alongside my Chaos forces because I like the novelty of them and I think they look big and dorky and easy to paint and they don't seem like a very viable solo force which is what makes them more compelling to me

If you mean literally just primaris marines and nothing else, then yeah they aren't very good.

Vehicles can overcome any shortcomings of a list that has no smallmarines. They compliment each other very well, since nothing in the list is easy to kill with small arms.

I find something inherently cool and weird about ancients making hellblasters get back up on a 4+ to fire again after they've had their weapons explode and their bodies turned into molten goop

The relic standard that makes you do it on a 3+ and also lets you automatically pass leadership is probably the best relic in the book if you're running Hellblasters - and have no doubts, the Hellblasters do work. There's really no target they won't mangle in a shooting phase.

There's really no target they won't mangle in a shooting phase. Yeah, but they do need to get close to do work though. If they're out of rapid fire range they'll pepper stuff with shots but won't get the critical mass of fire you need. If you use the assault guns then they won't threaten T8 stuff much. Though even then, 5 hellblasters with the S7 assault overcharge shots will put about 4 wounds a turn onto something like a leman russ. That's not bad. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Aug 16, 2017 |

I didn't realize this till I got a better look at the models but the Inceptor plasma shield faceplates are part of the Gravis armor that fluff-wise open and closes over their normal helmets. That's neat.

It seems all miniatures companies have issues with scale creep. Also isn't House Escher supposed to be basically the underhive equivalent of Amazons?

Floppychop posted:It seems all miniatures companies have issues with scale creep. Yeah basically. They are warrior women. Like, I have a bunch of metal Eschers - and I love them - only a minor bummer that side by side they will look a little odd. But in a game, Spread out on terrain it'll be alright.

Gotta take into account stances as well, those cultists would be a lot taller if they were standing straight. See also: Deathwatch marines striding forwards rather than Power Squatting™.

Yeah it's not so much scale creep as just changing the scale of the game for the relaunch. If all the new models get uniformly bigger then it's not really creep.

SteelMentor posted:Gotta take into account stances as well, those cultists would be a lot taller if they were standing straight. Yeah, the difference in the second picture is the pose. Both of those cultists are standing with legs spread wide, and the one with the autogun is hunched over as I recall. All modern 25mm humans make the metal Necromundans look short. And Goliaths being... well, goliaths is a good distinction. I was undercoating a Primaris, some new Death Guard, a Plaguebearer, and a Poxwalker earlier and the differences in size were noticeable, but because the scale is the same it just made them that much more interesting when stood together. I like this variety GW have introduced. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Aug 16, 2017 |

Anyone have a preference for which Primaris bolter is ideal? I plan on using the Rapid Fire one but I figured I would ask. And if someone can figure out why a Primaris Sergeant can carry a bolter and a power sword but a drat Lieutenant can't please let me know. And while you're at it figure out why a Captain can't carry a standard bolt rifle.

The bolt rifle is the most generally useful and will probably be what most squads take. The other two options are much more specialized and will only be taken when their specific niche needs to be filled
