Let’s take a look the new Ultramarines. Games Workshop has finally given us a release date for 8th edition as well as a preview of the new starter.
The order date for 8th edition and the new starter is June 3rd and as we reported seemingly months ago it will contain Death Guard vs Ultramarines.
Let’s focus on the Ultramarines half of the starter, shall we?
A complete set of datasheets to field both these Death Guard and Primaris Space Marines armies are included in two separate booklets inside the box. You’ll also find a host of new background information on the two forces and on the Plague Wars being fought in Ultramar.
Fresh from the forges of Mars, and ready to bleed in defence of the Imperium, the Primaris Space Marines have come tooled for war. The bolt rifle-wielding Intercessors are the mainstay of the force. Alongside them march plasma-toting Hellblasters, providing deadly fire-support. And dropping in from orbit are Inceptors with the short range fury of their twin assault bolters.
Leading these new warriors are the champions of the Primaris Space Marines: the inspiring presence of the Lieutenants, the banner-carrying Ancients, and the commander of the force, a Captain clad in new Gravis armour.
The new Primaris Ultramarines are looks ready to take down the forces of Chaos. What are your thoughts on the new faction? Is this everything you were looking for and more? Or sadly disappointed? Next up is Death Guard!
