More Space Marine rumors are here and the Imperial Fists could be coming sooner than you think. Check out the latest on the Emperor’s Seventh Legion.
Warhammer Community revealed we’ve got even more Primaris Marines headed our way with some new-old characters, primaris wargear, and some squads from the Shadowspear Box Set.
But how much will all cost, and when will it come out? Judging by the first waves of pricing we should be able to get a pretty good idea now.
Industry insiders have confirmed to us that the 7th and final Space Marine supplement is indeed Imperial Fists. Even Games Workshop may have let the squig out of the bag with the re-organization of its website to show separate sections for codex supplement products:
Remember that the Crimson Fists just got updated earlier in the year via the first Index Astartes White Dwarf Article. They also do not seem to be getting their own section on the website.
However, judging by this there is a good chance that the Black Templars will be getting some attention in the Imperial Fists book. Here’s what we know, and can assume, from the first four supplement waves to be announced by GW:
- Each chapter seems to get a new primaris character, data card release, and upgrade sprue/decal sheet release.
- Salamanders and “Fists” will release sometime in the fall according to Industry Insiders.
- Each chapter has gotten its own Psychic discipline as well, that seems to “future-proof” them into the Psychic Awakening.
- The final primaris units to be released at the Impulsor and the Infiltrator squads, most likely with the rumored Salmanders/ Fists release later this fall.
Primaris Impulsor $75?
The Imperium took a Rhino chassis and rolled it through the ol’ grav-tech factory bringing us the Impulsor. The Impulsor is running a handful of the same weapons spotted on the Invictor Warsuit. However, it’s also got some side-sponsons Bolters for some added dakka. The best part about this model is that this is the first Primaris Dedicated Transport.
Comparing it to the Ad Mech Skorpius, the last “hover” transport to come out for the Imperium, and the repulsor at $85, $75 seems to be the high range for this model. It may clock in at $65 seeing as how it is not a dual kit. Only time will tell for sure here!
Infiltrator Squads $60 For 10, $35 For 5??
In the same vein, Infiltrator squads are getting their own kit as well. These guys are making a name for themselves in 8th edition’s meta and now, the Infiltrators might be getting more sculpts (and maybe more weapon options).
This kit also makes another version of models as well now. So it’s possible that their path to market may be a 5 man box at first for $35-40, and then later on a 10 pack may become available for $60-70. Or vice versa. It’s hard to say with any certainty what path to market these will take, but they are staples that many lists will be running now.
Iron Father Malkaan Feirros (and new primaris characters): $35-$40?
Sure we know Tiggy and Khan are $40 now, and the other non-special character primaris characters are $35, that sets an important pricing standard of the previous $35/$25 not too long ago…
We think it’s safe to say the wait was worth it! This named Iron Father will be hitting shelves (and your opponents) later this year…
Rather unexpectedly, the Iron Hands got a named Primaris character coming to their faction. This took us by surprise for the fact that GW decided to show love to a very minor chapter in 40k.
Chapter Upgrade Kits: $25 ea
It a safe bet that the final new codex supplement chapters will also getting an Upgrade sprue in the future.
Also, bear in mind too that it is possible we will see the existing Fists sprue re-released as well because that only came in the holiday battleforce so far.
So where does that leave us for the rest of the Space Marine releases that are also on the way?
Product Mix Up Reveals New Codex?
So we know the new main SM codex is $40 and the supplements are $30 each. However, which final two books, and what new character models (if any) will be released seems to be the big question on most folks minds now.
A little label snafu may have just accidentally confirmed one of the 4 yet to be released codex supplements as well. This image was spotted on Reddit, and judging by the shadowing on the dice themselves it most likely is not doctored:
Guess we can safely check off the SALAMANDERS box for a new supplement now.
So it goes without saying that the rumors about a new Ultramarines and White Scars codex book were true, so currently that leaves 2 more chapters to get named on those ++redacted supplement++ spines.
- Raven Guard (Confirmed)
- Iron Hands (Confirmed)
- Imperial Fists (Rumored)
- Salamanders (Confirmed per above?)
