I believe, since it's classed as a ballistic weapon, it follows the normal rules for the model equipped with it. If it can fire multiple weapons, it can fired multiple rockets since each one is a different weapon.

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)!

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.

Not even any leaks of what's going up for Orr-order tomorrow. I hope there's at least a bigly librarian soon, I got two extra LTs from eBay and I'm tempted to pick up a space marine heroes box to kit bash them into a librarian and chaplain.

Had an interesting chat with GW customer service. Put an order in for some 8th release stuff and since I rarely order from their website I threw in some online only stuff, Legion of the Damned and Seth Gabriel. I get the order yesterday with no Seth, I call them up and they say he was out of stock but they wanted to send the rest out and follow up with Seth when he's back in. All well and good but there was no communication about it, Seth was on the dispatch invoice with no mention that he shouldn't have been in the box and then this morning I get notification of a brand new order of just Seth.

I've got tons of good encounters with GW but this just seems kind of shady, like they're not even allowed to admit fault anymore.

My LGS had another kitbash/painting contest today. $10 entry for one of the snap-fit bigly marines, planning to do Blood Raven's with the the Dark Imperium Primaris so I thought I'd use it as a test model.



Pretty happy with how he turned out.

Here's the question: is he a Primaris or a tinybro?

Tiny bro, he's been around for a while. He's also a Death Company chaplain so that's why his skull game is weak. Once you give in to berserker rage and festoon yourself with skulls it's a slippery step and Astaroth starts giving you the side eye.

Is it just my bias for them or do centurions actually look better alongside Primaris models than they did alongside regular marines? With the modularity of MK X they could simply be a heavy weapons variant.

I just half find it silly that their new and improved super-elite troops aren't trusted with even a shred of tactical flexibility in-setting, and half really like the mental image of a Primaris cowering from a pissed-off Chaplain with a newspaper after failing to sneak some extra bolt shells out of the armory.

As long as there's a Sgt. Bilko the Primaris can sneak over to to get black market goods from. All the while the Chaplain is constantly trying to find why the motor pool is constantly requisitioning new turrets for the companies razorbacks.

That would be an awesome Ultramarines army. Yeah, the arguments against Cawl are dumb too. People being infuriated over him "out-inventing the Emperor". He didn't. It says in the fluff he just tinkered with existing technology and marginally improved poo poo. Not by much either, I think in the BRB it mentions the new weapons are 5-10% more effective.

Yeah, he's really just futzing around with the tech Corax and The Emperor created, just without the Alpha Legion tampering.

I mean, it covers the basic weapon options well without cluttering up the rules. Seraphim can use pistols akimbo. Marines can have a bolter and pistol can't fire both, and models with a bunch of weapons like vehicles or crisis suits can fire them all without an exception

Its a huge tonal shift.

Does this mean the other demon primarchs had their good selves splintered and implanted into some other marine too? Or is Magnus special? Can we stick his good part back into him and make him whole again? Its just goofy as hell.

Grey Knights chapter master fuses with Magnus and they form GoMagnus!

Warp Magic has rules. Tearing people's emotions out of their souls and planting that in somebody else was never an established 40k thing, and its super wishywashy.

It's just Magnus, it's a side effect of the psychic trauma he inflicted on himself breaking through the Emperor's warp wall on Terra. And yeah it is silly, if his sense of duty and nobility were left on Terra why was he willing to submit himself to Russ on Prospero?

I wouldn't be surprised if they retconned to not be an actual shard of his soul but a warp echo of his personality.

FFG gave up the 40k license so while they may still own the name (I genuinely don't know if they do or not) there'd be no reason they couldn't make their own version with the same themes.
