Primaris Space Marines may be getting even more support by the looks of a new rumor that was spotted. Let’s break down the latest on a possible new box set.
Another Vigilus Box Set is at the center of the rumor. Spotted over on BoLS, there may be a new Primaris box set with some new models inside for 40k.
So what is Vigilus and what importance does it serve?
Vigilus & Preview Box Sets
Vigilus has been a focal point of some 40k lore advancement. It serves as a bastion planet for the Imperium that has seen a rise in Xenos incursions lately. The video shows a distress call asking for reinforcements from an Imperial force.
We’ve already seen two Box Sets around Vigilus:
Rumors: Another Primaris Box Set on Vigilus
Going by the rumor:
- A third Primaris Box Set is on the way revolving around Vigilus
- New models will be included (we don’t know if these are characters or something like a Troop choice.)
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about some Primaris Rumors for Vigilus though.
Now according to an anonymous source
Heard, that Vigilus’ call for aid will be answered by…
A brand new chapter of the Ultima founding i.e. a NAMED Primaris chapter
with special characters, unique strategems and warlord traits etc.
Not a huge model release apparently, beyond the new characters and a new
repulsor variant, but who knows?
Rumor Engine Bits May Finally be Previewed
Games Workshop previewed a mysterious bit and it’s looking like the backside of a Space Marine suit.
What does it look like to you? We can’t get away from the thought of a new Space Marine backpack.
Notice the lines at the top of the bit? They match up with the grooves on the Primaris backpacks. But what are all the fancy dials and gauges for?
We’ve already seen Primaris Captains, Apothecaries, and Librarians come out…What’s missing? Could this be a Primaris Tech Marine? Would that explain the fancy gauges?
Moving onto another bit that was spotted in a rumor engine:
We think this might be the tail-end of a new Primaris transport that’s on the way for the new and improved Space Marines.
Could these two bits be found in the third Box Set for Vigilus? Will it be advertised as a new named Chapter of Primaris Marines?
