Primaris Captain

My pose will lead them to victory!

The rarer fisting Primaris.

"Space Marine Captains are both superlative warriors and strategically gifted commanders who lead Space Marine companies into battle. Those Primaris Captains who favour Mk X Tacticus armour are amongst the most determined and unstoppable of their ilk, and they let nothing keep them from their duty."

– Games Workshop

A Primaris Space Marine Captain serves essentially the same function commanding a company of Primaris Astartes as does his standard Astartes counterpart. The only difference beyond his physical enhancements lies in his wargear, as it does for all Primaris Space Marines. The Primaris Captain is a stoic, indomitable commander. He is as much a leader as he is a fighter, possessing masteries in both ranged and close quarters combat.

When pressed on a battle too extreme even for the martial prowess of the Primaris Captain, he will adorn in the Juggernaut-looking armor known as the Gravis Armor. This allows the Captain to extend his lifespan and shrug off weapons that would have killed even the super-superhuman physique of the Primaris Marine in a single shot.

Equipment

Primaris Captains can come in either three distinct flavors, the more cool and hip vanilla Primaris Captains, either with that bitchin mohawk or a laurel and more ornated Iron Halo; or the notorious Primaris Captain in Gravis Armor, something so absurd looking that it resembles more like a Squat Hearthguard that has been put on a stretcher.

The more normal looking Primaris Captains is armed with a Bolt Rifle which can be swapped with either a Master-crafted Auto Bolt Rifle or a Master-crafted Stalker Bolt Rifle. In the other hand, he can carry a Power Sword. He can come equip with a Frag and Krak grenades for some extra oomph. The other version swaps both the Bolt Rifle and Bolt Pistol with a Plasma Pistol and a Power Fist, but he's only avaliable on stores' birthdays, and in limited quantities.

The one in the ridiculous Gravis Armor is dressed like a Terminator. He is equipped with two weapons, the Boltstorm Gauntlet and a Master-crafted Power Sword. This turns the Captain into a walking brick wall at the expense of less equipment choice and a slightly slower movement speed.

All versions of the Primaris Captain possess an Iron Halo.
