Primaris Lieutenant

Primaris Lieutenants AKA Primaris Captain lite.

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.

The Primaris Lieutenants are noted to be slightly better armed than a normal Space Marine Lieutenant as well as having better wounds (But not by much). In function some in /tg/ can assume that Primaris Lieutenants are a rough analogue to a Space Marine squad leader. However, as mentioned before, Primaris Lieutenants lead entire demi-companies, not singular squads. They are also sometimes confused with Primaris Sergeants and their Adeptus Astartes counterparts due to their similar names and looks.

The matter of truth is that they are basically a more budget version of the Primaris Captain.

Equipment

As mentioned before, Primaris Lieutenants are slightly better armed then normal Space Marine Lieutenants.

They are usually armed with a normal Bolt Pistol and a Power Sword. However, they can also swap that Bolt Pistol with either a Master-crafted Auto Bolt Rifle (Think a Bolt Rifle's LMG) which has a shorter range and worse ap than a normal Bolt Rifle, but better rate of fire at long range, fireable after Advancing, and more damage per shot from being master-crafted; or a Stalker Bolt Rifle which is like the direct opposite, having a longer range and stronger ap values at the cost of fire rate and close quarters effectiveness.
