It looks like the Space Marines couldn’t let the Xenos have all the fun as a new Primaris Ancient miniature has been revealed by GW!
Games Workshop did say they were going to keep the releases coming before the end of the year and they weren’t lying. The Space Marines are grabbing a new character, which we expect to come out before too long.
Warhammer Community unveiled the new mini and it looks like it will come with multiple weapon options. The model comes hot on the heels of the Captain in Gravis Armor, and with all the rumors we’ve been seeing, don’t expect these to be the last Space Marine releases for a while according to the word on the street!
Let’s first look at the Captain, then check out the new mini!
New Space Marines Captain in Gravis Armour
The last time that we saw a Captain in Gravis Armour was back when the Dark Imperium boxed set launched. He’s clearly been learning some new skills – he can now wield a chainsword or a power fist instead of his power sword. We note that he’s still not mastered the shovel as a weapon yet, though.
At least he’s coming with more options than we sometimes see with these types of releases. They also don’t really say he’ll be exclusive, so maybe he will just eventually join the ranks of the normal lineup (doubtful though).
One other thing to note about this model, his face is actually pretty cool! So luckily it looks like we won’t see a Ventris treatment right at the end of the year.
Along with his swanky new servo skull, the Captain also comes with a choice of heads. The new Space Marines Captain in Gravis Armor will be available soon.

The new Space Marines Captain in Gravis Armor has some pretty cool options overall and looks like a fun miniature to hobby on either before the year ends or to start the new one!
New Primaris Space Marines Ancient Miniature Revealed By GW
Wait a minute… is that a power sword in his hand? Well, if the heretics you’re fighting stubbornly refuse to act as boltgun fodder like they’re supposed to, it certainly helps to have a deadly melee weapon to hand. If you’d prefer your Ancient to take a more hands-on approach to defending the sacred standard they bear, stoically cutting down anyone who dares to besmirch the banner’s sanctity with their foul presence, you’re in luck.
That banner is pretty sweet! They mention the kit will have plenty of options, so we know for sure it will come with a power sword and a bolt-rifle, but other than that we’re really not sure, probably a few heads.
They also mention the Crimson Fists in the post, and we’ve heard rumors of more Chapters getting their own books soon, so this could be pointing towards that, or we could just be reading way too far into it. Either way, the Space Marines are grabbing a new mini.
