The new Primaris Company Champion 40k rules datasheet has some cool battle stances he get to use, as well as points, but there is a catch…
In case you forgot about the exclusive new Primaris Company Champion, he actually got new rules along with his model! However, you can only use them in Legends games… Still, it’s interesting to see how they shape up.
Let’s recap the new model reveal and then dive into the rules comparison with his firstborn counterpart.
New Exclusive Primaris Company Champion
A while back, Warhammer Community announced some new models along with some of the events you can get them at, such as AdeptiCon, which just happened!
Let’s check out the new mini that some people are already snagging at events and on eBay here.
For Warhammer 40,000 comes the sword-swinging Primaris Company Champion. These formidable warriors of the Adeptus Astartes defend their chapter’s honour on the battlefield, armed with a devastating master-crafted power sword and skills honed over countless duels.
The Primaris Company Champion even has an entirely new datasheet for use in Legends games of Warhammer 40,000, loaded with three deadly Blade Stances. You can also use him in other games, perhaps as a particularly cool squad leader, or even the Emperor’s Champion.

While this exclusive Space Marines Primaris company champion doesn’t have a set role in regular 40k games, it would make for a ton of really cool proxies, and since it’s a GW product, nobody can hassle you for it. It’s an interesting mini but not the wildest thing we’ve ever seen.
You’ll be able to acquire these miniatures at Warhammer events throughout 2022 – such as AdeptiCon, which is taking place from the 23rd to the 27th of March in Schaumburg, Illinois.
If you went to the event, hopefully, you snagged one or know someone who did instead of trying to fight for it on the secondary market.
Now let’s check out how the rules shape up!
Primaris Company Champion VS Firstborn 40k Rules Datasheet
Firstborn Company Champion
Primaris Company Champion Rules
New Bonuses (for a 15 point difference and legends only games):
- +1 to Attack (Firstborn: 4, Primaris: 5)
- +1 to Wounds (Firstborn: 4, Primaris: 5)
- Only has a Master-crafted power sword (no pistol or grenades compared to Firstborn)
- Trades out the Martial Superiority ability for Chapter Command (no fight first, but instead can potentially get up to 6 base attacks and 9 leadership)
- Trades out Command Squad for Blade Stance (no more battlefield role special rule, but instead gets stances adding a ton of flexibility)
Overall, the Primaris Champion does look much better. Blade Stance is just so insanely good. Swapping at will each fight phase to one of three fantastic bonuses is great flexibility, even if they are only +1s to select stats. The 4+ Invul could be clutch!
Unfortunately, this is only for legends games, but at the end of the day, this is just another great model to can add to your collection or maybe even use as a proxy!
