New Indomitus Space Marine Primaris 9th Ed. 40k Rules

Starting with the Bladeguard Veterans, these guys are coming with storm shields and power swords to get down and dirty in close combat. Take a look at the change to the storm shield rules. Instead of a 3++ invuln, it’s +1 Armor Save and a 4++ invuln.

Now, it would probably be very expensive, but outflanking a Repulsor with three squads of three Bladeguards and a Primaris Chaplain could be the worst nightmare to something like a Tau force.

Up next, there are the Outriders which in essence, are just S4 -1AP damage batteries. These guys are fast at a max of 20″ per movement phase. However, if you choose not to advance and want to charge, you’ll be getting +2 Attacks to each model. On a regular Outrider model, that’ll be six attacks at S4 -1Ap 1 Damage.

Eradicators are the new Gravis armored unit on the block with 24″ range Assault meltas. But what really puts these guys over the hump is that if they all focus-fire a target (which they should be doing anyway with only three shots) they get to shoot twice. That’s six S8 shots at PL 5 guys. Wow.

This is probably going to be the MVP Salamanders unit thanks to the Promethean Cult rule.

The Assault Intercessors look like an answered prayer to assault armies like Blood Angels and White Scars. Each model in the unit has a chainsword at -1ap which is great, but the fact that these guys are a Troops choice makes them extra appealing. By turn three, White Scars Assault Intercessors will be swinging for two damage a pop while the BA version will be getting an additional attack at +1 to wound.

Overall, the units coming inside the Indomitus box are looking to fill the gaps that were currently in the Primaris armory. We’ve got a solid melee unit, a fast harrassed unit, an anti-armor unit, and a melee-focused Troop choice. All good things.
