Yay?
As I've stated previously, I like the basic Primaris marine minis and I'm making another (perhaps futile?) attempt to try and like 8th ed. Thus I picked up a Lieutenant along with a cheap squad of seven Intercessors to integrate into what is/was my Rainbow Warriors Kill Team.
Lieutenant Budderbarz will temporarily serve as the army commander and is armed with a master-crafted Stalker pattern bolt rifle. Being armed with a 'heavy' weapon, he'll be a more sensible Space Marine commander who hangs back and directs traffic whilst supporting his troops with covering fire rather than just charging headlong into every fray.
The squad is just a bunch of no-frills grunts (not that their codex entry really allows for any). These additions along with my Predator, and a sqaud of tac marines borrowed from my unpainted 30k stocks will flesh out my Rainbow Warriors to the 1k mark, which is a decent enough starter force. However, aside from a captain that's already on order, I have no plans for this army's expansion beyond these minis (and its probable 30k will steal it's minis back assuming I ever get everything painted!).

Nice! I really enjoyed painting the Primaris marines, the basic dudes are really what I wanted for true-scale marines. I'm less taken by some of the other models in the line, but they're growing on me!
ReplyDeleteI found them to be refreshingly easy to paint and I was pleased with the end results. I have yet to use them in a game through.
ReplyDelete@Mordian: Agreed, the captain, jump pack and pseudo-centurion minis are unappealing (though in the latter case still MUCH BETTER than actual centurions).
ReplyDelete@Neverness: I'll kill 'em soon enough...lol, maybe.
Hopes and dreams. 😉
DeleteRainbows are full of them!
