[[File:CawlArt.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Ten thousand years and enough augmentations to be the size of a Carnifex, and he still hasn't gotten rid of that organic left arm.]]

Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl is the first unique character for the Adeptus Mechanicus faction, and like all good servants of [[Omnissiah|the dragon on mars]] has turned himself into a [[awesome|FUCKING CYBORG]]. Along with [[Inquisitor Greyfax]] and [[Saint Celestine]], he forms the Triumvirate of the Imperium. This motherfucker is old. How old? Ten thousand years, old enough to have been one of the tech-priests that aided the [[Emperor of Mankind]] in designing the [[Gene-seed|Black Carapace]]. Which should be impossible as the oldest a magos of the Mechanicus can get is around 1,000 years and they also go insane, but who knows. He might have spent most of it in stasis, or built himself new bodies and implanted his not-an-AI into it, but the most popular rumors among the Mechanicus have it that he did so using some kind of forbidden [[Xeno|xenos]] tech while replacing what few organic parts he had left with machinery, Ship of Theseus style. Even after having his memories wiped on two separate occasions, he's famed among the AdMech as having a truly unmatched horde of knowledge compiled over the millennia.

He has some sort of mysterious mission he's been on for the last ten thousand years. It was given to him by [[Roboute Guilliman|/tg/'s favourite person]], apart from a certain [[Matt Ward|Spiritual Liege]] and consists of two parts. The first is making Guilliman a brand new suit, making Belisarius Cawl the slowest tailor in all of fiction (though admittedly that's because it went on hold until he could figure out the 'resurrection' thing). The second is to build brand new weapons and pull out old ones to help fight against the enemies of the Imperium. His main creation was the [[Primaris Marines]] which took him nearly 10,000 years to create (although this is because how ridiculously advanced the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor's]] work was so hard to decipher). Or he's just incredibly lazy. It's not like he really answers to anyone.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMCTbIH924k He also sounds like a Dalek.]

== Fall of Cadia ==
Cawl is introduced at a technoarchaeological dig on the planet Eriad IV, a planet only notable for having a small Imperial outpost that was destroyed in a [[Black Crusade]]. Although his progress is interrupted by an [[Ork|Orkish]] invasion, he continues onward, following the mysterious hints of the [[Shadowseer]] Sylandri Veilwalker. Eventually, he digs deep enough to find the remnants of [[Cadian Pylons| ancient obsidian pylons]]. Cross-referencing this with similar discoveries, he realizes that [[Abaddon]] has made a point of destroying similar such pylons across his Black Crusades. He puts two and two together, and immediately starts heading for [[Cadia]], fearing that they might be the last pylons left in the galaxy.

After arriving at Cadia and briefing the command about his discoveries, he went about studying the pylons, believing that they held the key to Abaddon's defeat. This was a dead end until [[Trazyn]] showed up and gave him some Necrontyr tech-support. With his help, he managed to activate the true power of pylons, shrinking the [[Eye of Terror]] and fucking up all warp activity on Cadia. This was a double-edged sword, as while it prevented [[Daemons]] from manifesting, it also forced the [[Legion of the Damned]] out of the Materium and greatly weakened Saint [[Celestine]]. Despite this, the defenders successfully got the Black Legion to retreat, and victory looked inevitable.

Then Abaddon just had to crash the remnants of a [[Blackstone Fortress]] into Cadia. Cawl's efforts were for naught, as the pylons were destroyed and the Eye of Terror expanded to consume the Cadian Gate. He retreated on his [[Ark Mechanicus]], the Iron Revenant, but was pursued by Abaddon, who just learned of a mysterious relic Cawl had and sought to claim it for himself. Cawl was forced to sacrifice the Iron Revenant to stave off the Vengeful Spirit and took his artifact along with the rest of the Imperial forces to the ice moon of Klasius, where they found the [[Emperor's Sword|Emprasword]]. Cornered by the [[Black Legion]], all seemed lost, until they were saved by the timely intervention of the Ynnari [[Eldar]], who offered an escape route through the [[webway]] and an alliance (needless to say, he is really ashamed that he couldn't stop what happened to Cadia).

===Rise of the Primarch===

This is where it's revealed that the artifact Belisarius has is the Armor of Fate and a self-fitting dressing room, commissioned by Grandpa Smurf several millennia in advance. Cawl, alongside the Ynnari, successfully uses this to resurrect Guilliman and then assists him in his crusade to Terra. When they arrive Guilliman tells Cawl to work on the second part of his mission, that of strengthening Imperial forces by pulling out all the stops on Mars.

It has since been revealed that this "second part" was the creation of the [[Primaris Marines]], along with their new wargear.

===Uncle Cawl for Fabricator General!===

Cawl has pretty much been the only Magos that has had the desire to innovate (and survive to do so) in the last 10,000 years. A Magpie [[Magos]], Cawl has no qualms about claiming that human technology and understanding is lacking in ways compared to the older races. Which makes him more than willing to incorporate any xeno technology, slap the emblem of Mars on it, and let it benefit mankind. As a result the list of "Tech Heresy" he has committed is only marginally shorter than the list of awesome new stuff he has built. Even more radically, he has gone on record claiming that the loss of the spirit of inquiry was an infinitely worse loss than any of the [[Standard Template Construct|STCs]] and that as a result none of his "brothers" can create anything truly new.

Currently wants Guilliman to appoint him Fabricator General of Mars so he can <s>"Get Shit Done"</s> '''MAKE MARS GREAT AGAIN''', but Guilliman is unwilling to have all of the tech priests lose their minds over it; given his outspoken views on the value of innovation and thinly veiled contempt for the accepted AdMech dogma such a [[PROMOTIONS|promotion]] would be certain to result in a civil war within the Mechanicus.

Cawl also has experimented with creating Primaris Marines of all the [[Traitor Legions]], as well as the infamous missing Legions II and XI. He petitioned Guilliman to sanction their use, but you can guess how that went. (Guilliman has a feeling that he's just going to try and make them anyway). He is also trying to make new pylons to shrink back the [[Great Rift]]; perhaps it's time for Cawl to pay a visit to [[Illuminor Szeras]], or maybe politely request (at gunpoint) Magos-Explorator [[Omnid Torquora]] to tell him all the knowledge he has left of that empyrical bomb he used in the novel [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]: Tech-Priest.

Oh, and that AI we talked about before? It's not even the only one. Guy Haley's ''In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future'' openly mentions that Cawl's mind is essentially composed of numerous AI copies of himself operating in tandem with his original mind, in what he compares to being a conductor of an orchestra with the AI copies as the musicians. Which in effect makes him practically immortal, since he could switch on a backup copy of himself if his original body dies.

Come with a special rule that allows you to add or subtract 1 when rolling on the Canticles of the Omnissiah which as Mars you get to roll twice and keep both, allows Mars units within 6" to re-roll any to hit in shooting,also have the ability to repair any friendly {{W40Kkeyword|imperium}} model within 3" by 1 wound, without caring even a little bit about its other keywords - he can repair {{W40Kkeyword|infantry}}, {{W40Kkeyword|cavalry}}, whatever. AdMech units get d3 wounds healed instead, though. I guess 10000 years of min maxing yourself lets you do these things. And his Solar Atomiser is an Assault D3 S10 AP-4 unholy beast that does D3 damage, unless the target is within half range, which then it does D6 damage.

Belisarius Cawl is quite a formidable opponent. His ranged weapon of choice is the melta-gun on steroids Solar Atomizer, and for melee he's got a Mechadendrite Hive to fight hordes, Arc Scourge to fight vehicles, and a power axe to fight terminators. He also brings across the three Canticles of the Archmagos, which are like the Canticles of the Omnissiah but they also affect friendly vehicles not part of the Cult Mechanicus faction. Harmony of Metallurgy gives It Will Not Die, Utterance of Neutralization increases Ballistic Skill, and the War Hymnal of Fortitude grants invulnerable saves.

Not only can he dish out the pain, he can take it as well, with a 2+ armor save, Toughness 6, Feel No Pain (which is rerollable if he's the Warlord), and five wounds [[cheese|which he restores 1d3 of each round]]. Oh, and he can also use his canticles to give himself three It Will Not Die rolls. However, he lacks Eternal Warrior, and his Invulnerable Save is a mere 5+, making him vulnerable to Instant Death.

Despite all his cheese, he'd probably still get beaten by [[Anacharis Scoria| Anacharis "I fuck Primarchs for breakfast" Scoria]].

== List of Things Cawl ''May'' Have [[Blood Ravens|Borrowed]] ==
As mentioned, Papa Cawl is probably the only cogboy in the Adeptus Mechanicus (and probably in all the [[Imperium]]) who has straight-up invented ''loads'' of new shit without [[Blam|disappearing]]. Many of his new toys have features found in other xenos and/or look like their weapons. Whether or not it is an example of [[Blood Ravens|"borrowing" their designs]] or [[Just As Planned|convergent invention]] [[skub|is up to you.]] This list will certainly get bigger as more units are introduced.
===From the [[Eldar|Space Elves]]===

* Primaris [[Reiver]] incorporate sonic/audio weaponry into their helmets to scare the shit out of their enemies, just like the howling banshees, (though to be fair, we've invented such [[Wikipedia:Sonic weapons|weapons]] in early M3) or [[Noise Marines|Emperors Children]] though were pretty sure he's not dumb enough to mess with Chaos stuff ...we think.
* The Overlord Dropship uses energy shields instead of the usual void shields.

===From the [[Tau|T'au]]===

* The plasma weapons of the Primaris [[Hellblaster]] appear to have some parts cannibalized from Tau plasma rifles.
* The [[Primaris Captain|Primaris Captains']] Gravis Armour appears to be inspired from the Tau, though they may be also inspired by The [[Squats|Unmentionable's]] Hearthguards.

[[File:New40KPrimarisArt1.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Look out Chaos, there's a new kid on the block.]]
{{Topquote|They were forged for Mankind's darkest hour, and that hour is upon us.|[[Roboute Guilliman]]}}
{{Topquote|In a galaxy wreathed in darkness, we must be the light.|Unnamed Primaris Officer}}
{{Topquote|Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!|Marshal Stacker Pentecost, from the movie Pacific Rim}}

Primaris Space Marines (also known as Primaris Marines, Ultra-Ultramarines, Space Space Marines, Primarines, NuMarines, Chadmarines, [[Ultramarines: The Movie|The Greater-est of them all]], Adeptus Restartes, Gigglymarines, Super Space Marines, Biglymarines, Fatmarines, Space-marine Space-marine Space-Marines, 8thmarines, Bigmars, [[Stormcast Eternals|Spacesigmarines]], Guillimarines, Special Snowflake Marines, [[Mary Sue|Primarysues]], Primacucks, Ultra-Ultrasmurfs, Marines II: Electric Boogaloo, the Replacements and the New Kids) are the next step forward in [[Space Marine]] evolution (not counting the [[Raptor]] supermarines by [[Corax]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] before [[Alpharius]] spiked the gene-tech with [[Daemon]] Blood). [[Roboute Guilliman|Big Bobby G]] got together with [[Belisarius Cawl]] and put together this next generation of Astartes. They are bigger, faster, stronger, and maybe smarter than all that have come before them. Buckle up boys, its about to get hot in here.

==History and Background==
Shortly after the conclusion of the Horus Heresy, Guilliman predicted that another major Chaos attack on the Imperium might come at some point in the future. Though the Space Marines had proven themselves worthy defenders of Mankind, the Primarch foresaw that there might be a time where even they would struggle against the onslaught of the Ruinous Powers - [[Derp|because Roboute himself broke Legions in chapters]], and those tend to have problems fighting Black Crusades against ''hundreds of thousands'' CSM (the reason why Dorn declined Codex Astartes at first, being one of the few after the Scouring to suppose the Traitor Legions may be back one day). But nowadays it turns out Guilliman knew about it as well - which makes the whole situation awkward to say the least.

Ahem, in a frankly extreme show of [[just as planned]], our [[Spiritual Liege]] gained the aid of Archmagos Belisarius Cawl and began a program to create a new, superior form of Space Marines in secret over the next ten millennia. To assist him, Guilliman gave Cawl a relic called the Sangprimus Portum- a device containing the purest samples of each Primarch's [[/d/|genetic material]] that outstripped even the gene-seed in its potency.

Even after he was poisoned by [[Fulgrim]], Guilliman's plan continued without anybody learning about it, and by the time of his revival, Primaris Marines were ready to be unveiled to the Imperium - the only thing needed was a sanction from the Primarch himself.

In conjunction with the [[Ultima Founding]], there are now going to be entirely new chapters composed just of Primaris Marines as well, with some taking over the [[Fortress-Monastery|fortress-monasteries]] of extinct chapters.

However, in the Black Library novel "Dark Imperium", Guilliman calls Primarises "Cawl's blasphemous hordes". So much for daddy's love, eh?

==New Stuff==
*The basic Primaris Marine is encased in [[Power Armour#Mark X: Tacticus Armour|Mark X Tacticus Armour]]. Basically, it's the best of all the suits that came before it, wrapped up into one convenient package; no [[Beakie]] schnozz, but it's got that sweet Maximus style vox grill. As usual, mechanically this is entirely cosmetic.
**[[Primarch#Two_Missing_Primarchs|We don't talk about Mark IX Power Armour]].
**Bigger, tougher Primaris Marines wear [[Power_Armour#Mark_X:_Gravis_Armour|Mark X Gravis Armour]]. As of 8E, this translates to +1T. Shiny.
**Reivers wear [[Power Armour#Mark X: Phobos Armour|Mark X Phobos Armour]], sleeker-looking, with <strike>crocs, capris, and</strike> skull-faced helmets.
*They wield the [[Bolt#Bolt Rifle|Mark II Cawl-pattern Bolt rifle]] as their standard firearm. Apparently a "perfected" version of the ubiquitous bolter, it does have an improved statline - 30" Rapid Fire 1 S4 AP-1 D1 - which appears to be a boltgun with an extended barrel.
**Its statline is one AP worse than the new "Special Issue Boltgun" Sternguard carry, but their big selling point is some combination of being cheaper/easier to manufacture and using more readily available/cheaper/easier to manufacture ammunition, reflected in their points cost - bolt rifles are the same gun for 3 points cheaper in 8E.
**At least two variants of Bolt Rifle exist- the Auto Bolt Rifle, which has lower AP and shorter ranges but offers greater mobility due to being Assault 2, and the Stalker Bolt Rifle, a Heavy 1 sniper variant with superior range and one extra point of AP.
*An enhanced [[gene-seed]], which was created by combining the purified genetic material of the Loyalist Primarchs with parts of the [[Adeptus Custodes|Custodes]] creation process (as they don't have gene-seed) that adds 3 more organs to the existing 20. It's also worth noting that Cawl did something to make the Primaris Marines physically incapable of turning traitor. Guilliman's internal monologue in Dark Imperium reveals that he considers it an impossibility for Primarines to turn, unlike "the old breed". This has interesting implications about whether or not the Primaris marines truly have free will, assuming that they truly are unable to fall to Chaos- it is just as likely that they haven't been active long enough for any corruption to take hold yet.
**The new organs are:
***'''Sinew Coils''', which turn the Primaris Marines into [[Wat|Inspector Gadget]]....okay, we may be joking here, but it's basically metallic coils wrapped around the Marine's tendons and ligaments that can contract with extreme force.
****This is particularly interesting, as it's not actually a living organ, and hence is presumably not developed from gene-seed at all.
***'''The Magnificat''', which just sets the rest of the superhuman organs into overdrive (and is itself part of a super-organ dubbed the '''Immortis Gland''' intended for Primarchs, though the information needed to complete it is lost), as well as producing additional growth hormone.
***'''Belisarian Furnace''' (because Cawl gets a robo-boner for naming things after himself), essentially a 'last-stand' organ, which gives a Primaris Marine a supercharged adrenaline rush near death while triggering rapid tissue and bone regeneration. This presumably explains the additional Wound they have.

==Potential Problems==
* Primaris marines were made from all extant Loyalist genelines, and thanks to the material made available to [[Belisarius Cawl]] through the Sangprimus Portum, show little to none of the idiosyncrasies that usually mark the bloodlines of [[Space Wolves|Russ]] and [[Blood Angels|Sanguinius]]. Not only that, but according to an (admittedly biased) in-universe source, there's only a .001% chance of genetic deviation per generation, which means that the Primaris genestock are incredibly stable as well. Interestingly, thanks to Cawl's work Chapters that have lost organs through the centuries (like the [[Imperial Fists]]) or have malfunctioning organs (like the [[Raven Guard]]) all of a sudden have a complete set of organs thanks to the influx of new Primaris blood.
** This means of course that Chapters like the [[Space Wolves]], who due to the same quirks of their genetics were unable to ''have'' successors, [[Wolfspear|can now have them]], without fear of them devolving into [[Wulfen]] in one generation. Despite this stability, some people (see [[Flesh Tearers|Gabriel Seth]]) aren't too happy at this flagrant tinkering with the Emperor's work.
* Despite being bigger, stronger, and much faster than "regular" Astartes, what the Primaris initially lacked was actual battlefield experience (a fact bemoaned by Captain Felix of the [[Ultramarines]] in ''Dark Imperium'' to have been the cause of most of the initial losses to the Primaris). While this has been mostly been offset by the long and hard Indomitus Crusade campaign, even after a hundred-odd years of war the average Primaris marine is looked upon as a relative greenhorn by regular Astartes veterans. They have a lot to prove to their adopted Chapters as a result.
** We get little hints of this having to prove themselves goodness in, the Dark Angels codex. A group of Hellblasters are half put off, half inspired by the strictness of their primogenitor. After the squad gets trapped in a hive city for days fighting off enemies, they rack up so many kills even Belial can't help but smile.
*The Dark Angel example above illustrates another problem: how well will the new Primaris Marines get along with their chapter? The Dark Angels are an extreme example given their <s>issues</s> UNSWERVING LOYALTY TO THE IMPERIUM, but other chapters may have their own problems getting the first couple batches of Primaris marines to get with the traditions and cultures of their chapters.
**As the Primaris have no Terminators ([[skub|Aggressors are debatable]]) or Biker units or any real equivalents. (Yet, if GW thought that far ahead.) I.e. Hellblasters and Inceptors can be deployed in place of Sternguard and Vanguard Veterans in other chapters. With the exception of Primaris Librarians, induction into the Inner Circle or the lower ranks of the Ravenwing is unlikely.
*Chaos will be interested in the Primaris Marines. The [[Chaos Gods]] are not happy with the existence of the Primaris Marines, and are creating some warp charged warriors to counter them (enhanced Chosen, perhaps). [[Fabius Bile|Fabulous Bill]] became obsessed with "perfecting" the Primaris Marines from the moment he first encountered them and has already begun trying to kidnap Primaris Marines for dissection. They've supposedly been made resistant to Chaos influence, but "resistant" doesn't mean "immune" by a long shot, since they still have a soul. In fact a [[Noxious Blightbringer]] is able to effect them in Dark Imperium, successfully hurting and trying to get them to turn. And come to think of it, the cover image of 8th Edition does seem to partially show a [[Plague Marine]] in Tacitus armor...
**The discovery that Cawl wanted to use Traitor Legion gene-seed as well as the gene-seed of the missing legions to make Primaris Marines doesn't help the matter; Guilliman refused to let him do so, but he has a feeling Cawl will try it anyway with predictable results.
***Cawl claims that it was only due to the influence of the traitorous Primarchs that their Legions fell to Chaos. While this may be true, attempting to test that theory would almost certainly be a bad idea.
****The [[Sons of the Phoenix]] exist.
***The reasons as to why the the Lost Legions were purged so thoroughly were apparently so unthinkably horrible (so much that even after his rebellion had begun, Horus was still unwilling to break the vow he made to never speak of the Missing Primarchs) that Cawl trying to use their DNA might bite him in the ass even harder than for using gene-seed from the Traitor Primarchs.
*While barely explored in-universe so far, the various alien races in the setting may also take exception to or dangerous interest in the Primaris Marines.[[Urien Rakarth]] has expressed interest in them in spite of what he calls Guilliman's "lack of imagination", and has requested his [[Haemonculus|Haemonculi]] bring as many to him as possible; more unnervingly, he has expressed that he will be saving his best oubliette for the Primarch if he ever wished to "learn from the master". It would be equally unsurprising if [[Illuminor Szeras|a certain spider-legged robot mad scientist]] also wanted to collect a few Primaris specimens. The rest of the alien races, fortunately, are much less interested in genetic modification and would be more likely to view them as being more or less like any other Space Marine.

==Forces of the Primaris Marines==
[[File:Blood Raven 1.JPG|300px|thumb|right|"[[Roboute Guilliman|Lord Commander]], the batch 3789-Alpha is missing! Just after the visit of..." "[[Just as Planned|I know.]]"]]
Primaris Marines don't get to select from a variety of equipment loadouts, but the equipment they do carry is designed by [[Cawl]], who is shockingly competent, so they usually outgun their non-Primaris equivalents who tried to choose an otherwise identical loadout; this forces them to depend on other units to support them to fill in any gaps (much like Eldar Aspect Warriors). They enjoy, as of 8E, +1W and +1A relative to a regular marine, making them more durable and a lot more dangerous in melee combat. Some of them wear [[Power_Armour#Mark_X:_Gravis_Armour|Mark X Gravis Armour]], for another +1T.
*'''[[Primaris Captain|Primaris Captain:]]''' Primaris Captains are the analogues of [[Space Marine]] Captains. They are decked out in the new Gravis Armor which somehow manages to be even ''MOAR'' egg-shaped than a [[Squat]] [[Hearthguard]]. They're armed with a mini-Gauntlet of Ultramar/Hand of Dominion (I.E. a three-shot bolt pistol built into a power fist) and a master-crafted power sword. Others use the Mark X Tacitus power armor and wield a power sword and their choice of Stalker Boltgun or Auto Bolt Rifle. There's also a plasma pistol and power fist model exclusive to Games Workshop stores celebrating their anniversaries.
*'''[[Primaris Librarian|Primaris Librarian:]]''' Just what it sounds like. Has a fancy-looking Force Sword.
*'''[[Primaris Chaplain|Primaris Chaplain:]]''' Self-explanatory; they wear black robes as though they're aping on the [[Interrogator-Chaplain]]s. In battle, they wear an Iron Halo and carry a Crozius Arcanum alongside a specialized Absolver Bolt Pistol. To double down on the skull motif, their breastplate looks like a ribcage.
*'''[[Primaris Lieutenant|Primaris Lieutenants:]]''' The Primaris Lieutenants are somewhere between a Captain and a Sergeant in rank, and are often the most experienced of a Primaris Squad. Their role is to take command of demi-companies when the Captain is absent, freeing Chaplains and Librarians to focus on their own specialties. Lieutenants are differentiated from their fellow marines by a red-on-white stripe on their helms. Some of them can be helmetless which often showcase an extreme amount of Hair-esy. They can either use a power sword or a master-crafted automatic version of the Bolt Rifle (shorter range and worse ap, but better rate of fire at long range, fireable after Advancing, and more damage per shot from being master-crafted).
*'''[[Primaris Ancient|Primaris Ancients:]]''' Primaris Marines dubbed honorable enough to have the privilege of carrying the Standard's Banner. Identifiable by their white helmets (although that could change depending on the Chapter), they are in no way related to another [[Tarkus|dude-clad-in-power-armor-wearing-a-white-helmet-that-also-comes-with-the-same-name-from-a-certain-WH40K-game]]. At least until he's been upgraded. In case you were wondering, "Ancient" is a corruption of the rank of "Ensign" which was a term for an army's flagbearer in the Middle Ages, so it has nothing to do with how old the Marine in question actually is.
*'''[[Primaris Apothecary|Primaris Apothecary:]]''' A specialization of Primaris Marine first seen in artwork and promo photos, and now has rules and a model. Their left bracer appears to have a screen on it for monitoring lifesigns, and they have a pistol with a reductor built into it for geneseed removal (and the occasional puncturing of enemy skulls). The Narthecium attached to a <s>cyberdong</s> mechadendrite on the Apothecary's back.
*'''Primaris Techmarine:''' One of them acts as the pintle gunner for the Repulsor Tank. That's about all we know.
*'''[[Reiver|Reivers:]]''' Reivers are Space Marines created from the gene-seed of [[Sly Marbo]]. Think [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] in [[Power Armor]]. It's time to piss yourselves, [[Chaos Space Marines|traitorous scum.]] Reivers are the only true close-combat specialist Infantry for the Primaris and are pretty good at it overall. Compared to Intercessors they have a Combat Knife for another attack and an improved Bolt Pistol with greater Armour Penetration, and the ability to negatively effect enemy morale. They can be equipped for more ranged combat but that is not why you take them. They have Deep-Strike option like everyone else, but also a new grappling hook that allows them to both outflank and jump-up ruins like they're nothing. But arguably their biggest trump-card is their special grenade that causes effected units to lose both their overwatch and minus one to shooting. While not the most devastating CC unit in the game they make excellent back-field harassers and synergize wonderfully with the rest of your army with their ability to cripple enemy gun-lines.
*'''[[Aggressor|Aggressors:]]''' Aggressors are basically Primaris [[Terminators]] mixed in with [[Centurion Squad|Centurions]], but with a 3+ save. They have an even more specialized Gravis armor, and either an automatic version of the Primaris Captain's Boltstorm Gauntlet paired with shoulder-mounted grenade launchers or a flamer-equipped version of said gauntlet dubbed the Flamestorm gauntlet. Regardless of what they're equipped with, they specialize in close-range firepower that obliterates light infantry.
*'''[[Intercessor|Intercessors:]]''' Intercessors are the <s>standard</s> SUPER bolter Marines, having most in common with a bare-bones tactical squad as they're armed with Primaris versions of the same things (such as their super bolters and Mk X armour). Compared to tacticals, they perform better in melee and have greater armour penetration on their basic weapons along with being more survivable, making them effective in a wider variety of situations. This is both a strength and a weakness, as while they may be bigger Jacks of all trades, they're even worse masters of nothing. Compared to Tacticals they have fewer weapon and transport options and only one type of heavy weapon choice. This might be part of the reason that other Primaris Marines are more specialized: to compensate/synergize. As Primaris specialists may be more vulnerable to heavy firepower and be fire-magnets, Intercessors with their flexibility they can more reliably protect other more valuable units and plug any holes that arise from specialist losses, or make themselves useful against any foe until the hard-hitting second wave arrives (being the most versatile as far as Primaris Marines go).
*'''[[Inceptor|Inceptors:]]''' Inceptors are the <strike>[[Assault Marines]] equivalent</strike> drop troops of the Primaris Marines and are equipped with a new pattern of Jump Packs, two Assault Bolters, which are basically sawn off Heavy Bolters, a pair of hand-portable Plasma Cannons, and a pair of [[Derp|absolutely ridiculous-looking shoe-shovels.]] Unlike Assault Squads, the Inceptors' focus is on firepower and a pseudo Hammer of Wrath. This makes them closer in role to Assault Bikes as a fast moving strafing unit and harasser. They lack melee weapons of any kind; this doesn't mean they can't fight in melee, as their sheer weight allows them to crush their enemies to death, and they still have the statline of "normal" Primaris marines along with being even tougher to hurt, making them not completely useless in a scrap. Don't get it in your head that their melee ability is "good", though, or even decent, and only engage in melee if you have to; they do far better blowing things into tiny pieces.
*'''[[Hellblaster|Hellblasters:]]''' Hellblasters are Primaris Marines who make Flash Gitz green(er) with envy. They use [[Plasma#Plasma Incinerator|Plasma Incinerators]], enhanced Plasma Guns with longer range and armor piercing ability. Aside from that, there's nothing special about them as compared to "regular" Primaris marines. Very expensive and vulnerable to strong weapons, but they fuck up TEQs and can pose a threat to vehicles if they can get into Rapid Fire range, though outside of said range it's not as suicidal to unload a charged volley, so they can threaten vehicles there, too. Also, with the changes to how cover works, they are terrifying against cover campers. With how big a fire magnet these guys are, if you get these guys close to an expensive or dangerous vehicle or multiwound TEQs feel free to HELLBLAST them into oblivion in a suicide barrage. (That is, IF they're at risk of being wiped out or swarmed.)
*'''[[Redemptor Dreadnought|Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought:]]''' For no matter how great and glorious they may be, [[Grimdark|in the grim future even they are not immortal]]. Though how enough of these brand spanking-new Space Marines were curbstomped just enough to warrant Dreadnought status, we'll (probably) never know (hundreds of thousands of Primaris fighting in the over a century long indomitus crusade may be the answer). Times be desperate, yo. Probably because they're so hard to kill that just about all of them that couldn't be saved are made dread-ful.
*'''[[Repulsor_Tank|Repulsor]]:''' The Repulsor is the standard transport and/or tank (nobody's entirely sure yet) of the Primaris Marines. Which is good for them, because they can't go inside standard Space Marine transports, including ones that can hold Terminators, Centurions, and (in 30k) even fucking ''Primarchs.'' There must be [[Profit|some mysterious force surpassing even the Emperor]] blocking the door - which also blocks the door on this thing if you try to convince a ''non''-Primaris to go inside. Being a floating [[METAL BOXES|Metal Box]], it might be considered the spiritual successor to the [[Grav-Rhino]], if you covered said Grav-Rhino with missile pods everywhere, including on its rear and sides, put twin-linked lascannon in the front hull, and gave it what looks like a [[Fail|heavy stubber]] as a coaxial gun to go with the turret lascannon and pintle-mounted Gatling gun.
*'''Overlord:''' The Overlord is the Primaris-exclusive dropship used to support the bigger frames of the Primaris Marines. You would think the [[Thunderhawk]] would be big enough for them, but it seems they are ''too'' [[Mary Sue|special]] to share the same vehicle with their smaller brothers. Anyways, the Overlord is noticeable for one thing. It is '''ECKS BAWKS HUEG''', making a Thunderhawk look like a [[Stormtalon]] in comparison. In terms of specs, it is the [[Corvus Blackstar]] on steroids. Seriously, it has powerful quintuple engines and twinned hulls thick enough to permit insertion from orbit, like Thunderhawks or Stormbirds, and like Blackstars, Overlords possess twin transport bays with their own assault doors, but they're considerably bigger (they can carry up to 40 of your Chadmarines) and even more blessed with advanced technologies like fucking [[AWESOME|energy shields]] ([[Heresy|Guess Cawl kind of]] [[Blood Ravens|'borrowed']] [[Extra Heresy|some of that sweet ass energy shields from the]] [[Eldar|pointy-eared gitz]]). Additionally, the Overlord is equipped with anti-munitions cannons, wing-mounted Desolator Lascannons, nose-mounted Melta Cannons and Heavy Bolters fixed on its lower wing surfaces. This thing is pretty much a flying [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan]] or an Imperial [[Manta]].
*'''[[Astraeus|Astraeus Super-Heavy Tank]]:''' Surely the result of a grudging 3-way between a Mastodon, a Sicaran, and a somewhat reluctant Repulsor, the Astraeus is the first Primaris super-heavy tank (implying there will be more variants on the way) and looking to be an utter beast on the tabletop - it's armed with Land Raider style frontal Heavy Bolter mount, two front angled sponsons for Las-Rippers or Plasma Eradicators, topped with a turret mounted dual Macro-Accelerator Cannon. Given how expensive it is to field a decently kitted repulsor, it remains to be seen how viable it will be to concentrate so many points into one vehicle.

==On the Tabletop==
Crunch wise, Primaris Space Marines are about as physically dangerous as Space Marines are already supposed to be fluff-wise, so they get an additional Attack and an additional Wound; weapons which deal additional Wounds seem to be fairly common now, so while it might not be a big improvement it can still be helpful. However, they also have exclusive access to shiny new toys from Cawl, including a "basically Kraken" Bolter with +6" range and -1 AP, a Plasma gun with +6" range and -4 AP, and half-range [[AWESOME|one-handed Assault Heavy Bolters and Plasma Cannons. That they dual-wield. With jump packs.]] Defensively, so far only they have access to Gravis armor, which grants +1 Toughness (and even then only the Captain, Aggressors, and Inceptors can use it). Finally, their squads don't mix weapon types, with all members carrying the same loadout; whether this will be a benefit or a downside relative to "standard" marines being able to carry a mixed loadout remains to be seen with the other new rules in 8th, such as the ability of any squad to split its fire across multiple targets.

Most of the Primaris units so far also cost nearly twice as many points as their older counterparts and have unit sizes no larger than a <del>5</del> 10 model maximum (including the Serge). This strongly suggests they will be more useful as a supplement to standard Marine forces than they might be as outright replacements; they're far too inflexible and expensive to be fielded effectively on their own, and their lack of melee specialists and access to weaponry with a range greater than 36" is a glaring flaw (for now) as well. And while their movement is no worse than any other Marine, for reasons that totally aren't financial in origin they can't take '''any''' transports usable by standard Marines. Not [[Rhino|Rhinos]], not [[Drop Pods]], not [[Land Raider|Land Raiders]], not even the motherfucking [[Mastodon]]. They can use the Thunderhawk, but odds are you're not going to have room for it in your standard 2000 points game, and even then, it has to be carrying only Primaris Marines (and in that case, it still can't carry too many). They have a special transport called a Repulsor (which is a [[Awesome|grav tank]]), which somehow can't carry non-Primaris, but besides that they have no choice but to go footslogging.

However, single-model units can be astonishingly efficient - the most extreme case is the Primaris Librarian, who has a static, unchangeable loadout, but costs the exact same as a non-Primaris Librarian with the same loadout (a bolt pistol and Force Sword).

The Lord Inquisitor - Seed of Ambition

2018-05-04T04:04:05Z

2607:FB90:AE37:F143:0:0:A0A3:3C01:

[[Image:Lordi Wall.jpg|right|thumb|400px]]
A completely CGI fan film of Warhammer 40,000 by Erasmus Brosdau.

This movie is used to troll fans of [[Ultramarines:The Movie]] in terms of CGI quality, movie development budgets, and staff involvement. Now, lets hope the acting (good so far), characterization and story is also better (they probably will). Run time is somewhat shifting, currently appears to be about 15 minutes, with a 9 minute prologue to be released in 2016.

Enjoy it when it comes out (which is <s>possibly</s> conclusively not due for a 2017 release). It's indefinitely shelved as seen in Erasmus' Youtube update.

==Plot==
The plot so far concerns Lord Inquisitor Torquemada going to the planet of Occulta Majoris (someone was stupid enough to name a planet what roughly translates to "super magical" in 40k? Google translate says it means "more secrets".), which has gone silent. Apparently, the imperial guard discovered a mysterious artifact of seemingly Xenos origin. The artifact in question slowly drove the planets inhabitants mad (<s>uhhh........Dead Space ?</s> <s>Warhammer's been doing this sort of shit since before the creators of Dead Space left their father's balls. GB2/v/ They both pretty much stole it off Lovecraft, who in turn stole it from a bunch of other shit. Ancient magical artifacts as plot devices are as old as storytelling. Strikethroughs over stupid commentary sure are fun, aren't they?)</s>, which then revealed its true origin as an artifact of Chaos, as per 40K standards. As the artifact was being transported off world, it was intercepted by the Forces of Chaos and seemingly destroyed. Torquemada and his associates later discovered that the destruction of the ship and the artifact was a ruse. Torquemada journeys to Occulta Majoris, accompanied by Grey Knights, believing the artifact to still be on the planet.

==THINGS THAT ROCK==
* The film was approved by [[Games Workshop]]. Therefore allowing dear Mr. Brosdau to continue development.
* Awesome modeling
* Detail
* Close to canon
* [[Grey Knights|GREY KNIGHTS]] (who will hopefully not be portrayed the way a certain [[Matt Ward|dickface]] depicted them)
* Dreadnoughts.
* BLOODLETTERS
* KILLING!!
* One scene shows a ship exiting from the Warp with awesome effects. This is a plus from the Ultramarines movie since even in the final scene, the film didn't even bother showing the effect of their cruiser entering or exiting the Warp.
* Absurdly high quality when you consider the team is doing this entirely in their free time.
* Adam Harvey, who did the music for the Ultramarines Movie (Which is agreed to be one of the few things that was great about the film), will be composing The Lord Inquisitors music score.
* Finally, having a non-space marine as main character for once.[[File:Imperial_Bucket_Wheel_Excavators.PNG|530px|thumb|right|Mining for the Emprah in my giant Gothic Cathedral Excavators!]]
* Imperial Bucket Wheel Excavators! Anybody would pay to see a BWE go off against a Emperor-Class Battleship, like a T-rex against a Triceratops, Space-ship vs Land-ship. Furthermore like all things Imperium, there must be [[Meme|Cathedrals somewhere, no exceptions!]]
* The man's name is [[Awesome|Erasmus fucking Brosdau]], for fuck's sake.
* Believably futuristic (still needs more cathedrals)(There are! the prologue is out and it has gothic all over!)
* A female [[Death Cult Assassin|Death Cult Assassin]] with skull mask serving in the Inquisitors team (Cannot be seen with weapons but has a full body suit). Note: unlikely to be a full [[Officio Assassinorum|Official Imperial Assassin]] (eg Culexis or Callidus) as its capabilities will surpass many imperial agents under the inquisitors team.
* A veteran guardsmen serving in the Inquisitors team (Armed with a possible shotgun and carapace armour)
* THREE [[Baneblade|BANEBLADES]]!
* First full scene with new characters interacting, along with excellent voice acting, [[Boreale|varying accents]] and clear characterisation.
* Overwhelming positive response (via social media) for the new prologue.
* The prologue Easter eggs!
* '''HOLY TERRA'''
* The prologue is now listed on IMDB!

==THINGS THAT SUCK==
* <s>A literal zero dollar budget, as GW refuses to finance the project, let alone invest in it.</s> Obviously the makers are doing it using their own funds and time, so it does have some sort of cost, we should still give money to their Patreon and Kickstarter projects, money which '''IS TOTALLY NOT FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO''', right?
* <s>Somewhat mediocre animations</s> The animation is a little stiff here and there, but overall passable. Still good enough for something people work on for free in their free time.
* Fans can't donate money to the project, because Erasmus is forbidden from profiting off the Lord Inquisitor (but then again, you can still give him money for anything else).
* Only 40 minutes long.
* Character lip-sync needs improving. The actors recorded the dialogue (in English) outside of Germany sending the recordings to Erasmus. Therefore the actors expressions/facial movements could not be mapped and synchronized with the animated models.
* Its still not out
* It's now indefinitely frozen given Erasmus' plans to make a full studio instead.

2607:FB90:AE37:F143:0:0:A0A3:3C01:

The title says it all.

== Bloodquest ==
A CGI-Movie that never came to be. It was going to be based on the comic collection Bloodquest.

== [[Inquisitor (film)|Inquisitor]] ==
A short film that depicted Dark Angels and an Inquisitor exploring a monolith filled with [[World Eaters]]. Short, some rather baffling 2E logic, and a teaser to a film about [[Wolf Guard]] fighting [[Genestealers]] and another one about Space Marines, (maybe) Chaos Orks, and a very monotone "Blood for the Blood God", neither of which ever happened.

== Damnatus ==
A German fan-film about some IGs(consists PDF Trooper, Catachan Guardsman that eschews standard issue [[Flashlight]]s in favor of [[Bolter]], Imperial Guardsman from unknown Regiment that dual wields pistols, and Rogue Trader?),a Psyker and an Enginseer investigating some weird shit going on with those wacky chaos cultists (Sadly,they are not the annoying types of cultists). Other than that, as far as low budgets fan films go, it's actually pretty fun. It has been banned from international release thanks to German copyright bullshit, but you can probably find it on youtube or something.

== [[Ultramarines:The Movie]] ==
A 70 minute CGI thriller film based on the Warhammer 40K universe featuring the Ultramarines chapter as the protagonists. The screenplay is to be written by Dan Abnett, esteemed and critically acclaimed Black Library author of Warhammer Fantasy and 40k fiction. While also utilizing the cutting-edge graphics technology of Image Metrics. The film will be starring The Great John Hurt, who played Emperor Caligula in the BBC miniseries 'I, Claudius', stars in the film as Carnak. (mostly because his son plays the tabletop) Sean Pertwee (the guy whose dad played the third incarnation of the Doctor from Dr Who) and Terrance Stamp. The actors will mostly be lending their voices and faces to the film. Oh yeah, and the director is Martyn Pick.

It was a mediocre film with meh visuals and animations.

== [[The Lord Inquisitor - Seed of Ambition]] ==
[http://destrega85.wordpress.com/ Yet another one man 40k Fan Movie]. With CGI. And look at that CGI. Just look at it. Holy shit. Problem, Ultramarines apologists? Well, other than the problem of it possibly never coming out, obviously. Sadly you can't even donate as the guy can't profit from working on the film, altough you COULD give him money for something different eh ;). (What, you thought Games Workshop would have given him some money along with the guy to help on the script?) PUT ON INDEFINITE HOLD AS OF 2018.

== Dawn of War:The Last Samurai ==
A fan film using the entire dialogue and plot of the The Last Samurai movie. The big difference is that the characters are played by dawn of war units. Examples are tom cruise's character being played by an Imperial Guard sergeant,the samurai being played by Space Marines with chainswords and the Japanese military being played by the Imperial Guard.

== Dawn of War:300 ==
Another fan film using the entire dialogue and plot of the movie 300. The characters are again played by dawn of war units. The Spartans being played by Grey Knights and the Persians Played by Chaos space Marines.

== Dawn of War: 1st Battle of Armageddon ==
A fan film depicting the 1st Battle of Armageddon,with the characters played yet again by dawn of war units. Displays a few inaccuracies. But overall, it was enjoyable.

== Assorted shorts. ==
Some very well-animated fan-made shorts. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkj8KmxYpkQ/ This one's] about a [[Story:Love_Can_Bloom|certain fanfiction]].
