40K RUMORS: More on Upcoming Primaris Kits
The rumormongers are talking, with a second round of info on the upcoming Space Marine Launch kits!
Yesterday we heard from the venerable and highly accurate Hastings:

AFAIK “Initially” there are 4 boxes of “troops/infantry/marines” (including the flying ones), 2 vehicles, the Dread, and 2 “character” sets, which I assume will be captains and Lieutenants. As for when I rarely dare to dabble in such things (especially after the timing of the plastic thunderhawk release…. which might still actually not be wrong, just my guess at the timing thanks to the “we’ve sold our last resin thunderhawk” making me jump to conclusions!). I will say I am “expecting” Death Guard to release after the boxed set and for new marines to be closely behind them….. however I could be wrong of course 😉
BTW I also never thought I’d be starting let alone be excited about an army of SM, however as the new marines range is small and not overwhelming and I like the armour and overall style I am going to start a SM army, just not sure what chapter yet.
Today’s Rumors
Industry professionals tell BoLS the following on the kits:
Infantry Boxes
Primaris Infantry Box: 5 models w/ bolt rifles, plasma & grav options.
Primaris Jump Infantry Box: 3 models w/ assault bolters & CCW options.
Primaris Heavy Infantry Box: 3 models w/ Gravis armor & heavy weapon options.
Officers/Command
Primaris Command Box: 1 model, build as Captain, Lieutenant, or Ancient.
Primaris Librarian Clampack: 1 model.
Primaris Character (named): Clampack Captain w/ Gravis armor.
Vehicles
Repulsor Tank
Redemptor Dreadnought
Primaris Flyer (details unknown)
That’s only a handful of new kits on top of these. Certainly enough to start a new army of all Primaris models.
Intercessors
Hellblasters
Inceptors
Captain in Gravis Armour
Ancients
Primaris Lieutenants
Those are all the Primaris Space Marines from the box set. We’ve also seen the following two kits in picture form:
Redemptor Dreadnought
Repulsor Tank
Well folks, what do you think the newer kit will be? Let us know in the comments below!
