Lookout Chaos, there's a new kid on the block.

Primaris Marines are the next step forward in Space Marine evolution (Not counting the Raptors). 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.

New Stuff

• The basic Primaris Marine is encased in Mark X Tacticus Armour. Basically it's the best of all the suits that came before it wrapped up into one convenient package. (Sadly no Beakie helm, but at least it's got that sweet Maximus style vox grill.)

• They Wield the Bolt rifle as their standard firearm. Apparently a "perfected" version of the ubiquitous bolter, it certainly has a statline to back it up. [Range: 30" Strength: 4 AP: -1 and Rapid Fire]

Types of Primaris Marines

So far we've only got one type, but more are on the way we are told.

• Intercessors

Intercessors are the equivalent of Tactical Marines. They have an extra wound and attack compared to the original Tactical Marines and a Cawl Pattern Bolter in the place of the regular bolter, which should let them last a little longer in melee and give them a better chance against light vehicles than a bare-bones Tactical Marine squad. However, they also cost more points to field and cannot equip any special or heavy weapons.

• Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought
