Calling the Jump Pack Intercessors 'Assault Intercessors' got terribly confusing when you then brought out the boxes of Assault Intercessors. But as someone who immediately went and bought 20 of the old jump packs when they announced the new ones, this video is very helpful!

@redspec01 21 күн бұрын

I think what they should have done was call the new marines the same as the old marines, but with an armor upgrade. The new armor has a 6+ invulnerable save, for the same price. This way everyone wants the new armor/sculpts, GW makes its money, and older players can play their old models and be fine for casual play.

I've been doing a lot of kitbashing on my marines to 'save money' (and I made enough mistakes to make up the difference). Like using MKVI bodies with primaris/firstborn arms/shoulders/backpacks so that I can save a little bit on the cost per marine while still maintaining a unified silhouette. Recently bought a bit lot off ebay that had the arms/shoulders/backpacks for around 20 marines, including five jump packs, which was just about as much as I needed for now. Didn't even consider magnetizing the backpacks but I might try that now.

I did almost exactly this for my own Black Templars but I got a friend to 3D print me a bunch of jet packs because I was unable to find them anywhere. Ebay was clutch in getting the push-fit assault intercessors from the 8th/9th edition starter sets and I probably saved $200 at the end of it all.

@johnmartin7705 19 күн бұрын

I see the jump pack like the back pack. Both are interchangeable accessories. It is likely a brother died wearing the jump pack so it would be equally fitting to have a relic. The relic is for veneration and to call for aid from the deceased. That could be on a jump pack as well

100% my beef with everything primaris, all the different unique armours, all the special bolter variants and the 50 different names based on just slight equipment differences make it really confusing to know what is what as a non-marine or older edition player. Maybe unit names based on their role was boring or hard to trademark but at least it was easy to understand (but that doesn't sell so many overpriced unique kits if you can just magnetise one or two kits).

@ninneplug 21 күн бұрын

Yeah, the old Marines at least all had recognizable silhouettes. Assault Marines had jump packs, Devastators had big guns and backpacks, Terminators are unique and stand out from the rest of the Marine foot troops, etc.

@Battlefang 21 күн бұрын

with primaris it's all the same only in different colours. every chapter looks the same, everyone looks identical... but hey gw are atleast putting in some effort to fix their blunder, even if it's quite mediocre at the moment today a five man box costs as much as if not more than a ten man just because it has jumppacks instead... gw upcharges their models to insanity. the Assault intercessors with jumppacks are the same as the regular assault intercessors, atleast when looking at the weapons lists of them. the infiltrators and incursors are practically the same guys just with their scopes, heads and powerpack attachments swapped, gw even made them "separate boxes" even though each one came with all the parts to build either.

I just ripped off the jump packs from my old assault marines I got on sale. I had an old jump LT and I took his aswell. I don’t have the willpower to do that much hobby work lol so I just glued the old jump packs after a bit of sanding onto the backs of my indomitus assault intercessors and the Chaplin from that set too. Them being push fit quick build helped a lot. I’m excited to try them out. Mortal wounds kinda simulating them crashing down ontop of enemies seems really thematic even if they die after that lol

I'm not spending $50 for 5 assholes. also 30k stuff looks better! Mark 3 armor looks pretty cool on Infernus guys. i converted my easy to build ones over to that armor set and used the bodies from levi to bulk out some other squads. I think im going to start using mark 3 armor more of stuff. I think the.. ummm, those plasma gun guys i forget the name would look nice in mark 3.
