That time has surely come. Now, as the Imperium of Man is poised on the brink of annihilation at the hands of Chaos, his task is at last complete. Here were warriors whose genetic composition was closer to their own primarch, Rogal Dorn, than had ever before existed. For his raw material, Cawl had selected warriors of Terra, and had taken them only a few generations after the original Imperial Fists had been created by the Emperor. Indeed, some had been held in stasis since the days of the Great Crusade; a few of the Primaris Space Marines could recall having seen Rogal Dorn himself. Though they now stand a step above their Firstborn Astartes brethren, all Primaris Space Marines are still created using the original gene-seed of one of the Loyalist primarchs, like all other members of the Adeptus Astartes.

Taking Bolter Fusillades and Long-Range Marksman allows you to re-roll hit rolls of 1’s for the Auto Boltstorm Gauntlets as well as increase the threat range of all their weapons by 3”.

Aggressors are ultimately best used as a combination unit. Place 2 units of 3-6 Aggressors at the front line of your forces and keep them ahead by advancing every turn and firing. This is your Defence. As you advance up the board, your opponent will be forced to deal with the Aggressors fist, shielding your other units – this is the Distraction. Finally, once you’re in range, either charge into a brutal melee or unleash hell with your weapons – this is the Destruction. While it’s not their primary role, high volumes of flame weapons can be surprisingly effective against light vehicles and monsters. One popular skimmer is the Voidweaver, and a unit of Aggressors equipped as above can handily destroy one in a round of shooting, while combining the Aggressors with the Salamanders Stratagem Flamecraft (+1 to wound with flame weapons) and Vulkan He’stan (reroll wounds with flame weapons and melta weapons) allows them to destroy even larger targets such as Carnifexes with ease thanks to sheer volume of fire. Combining the 3 Ds:

Yet ultimately they were somewhat strategically inflexible, for they had not undergone the gruelling progression through their existing Chapters' companies or gained the wealth of experience that progress bestowed. Some of these Martian Primaris Marines formed entirely new Chapters such as the Rift Stalkers or the Silver Templars. When on the table, always ensure you place them in a spot you are happy with them staying. You want them to remain stationary as often as possible, and with an 18” weapon as the optimal choice this means a forward position is best. This allows them to not only be a threat that needs to be targeted, but also means that if there is something else bigger than them that your opponent has to choose his targets carefully. You can try and kill the 3 wound models with their higher strength weapons, or you can target the tank that might actually die easier to the same weaponry that would be used.

Furthermore, the Codex allows for each Battle Company to be bolstered with additional squads reassigned from the Reserve Companies; the presence of these warriors can take a company's numbers temporarily above the traditional limit of 100 Astartes, lending them the additional strength to overcome especially challenging foes. A strong core of reliable and adaptable warriors that can lay down fire while advancing or holding terrain is an invaluable aid to any tactician. In the case of strike forces bolstered by Primaris battle-brothers, this role is filled by the Intercessor Squads. Chapter Masters may select an Honour Guard that are in addition to the company roll, although not all Chapter Masters choose to do so. In today's post I'm going to talk about how I weathered my newly-painted primaris aggressors, and why I think people paint astartes' boots wrong (the hot take the internet's been waiting for, I'm sure you'll agree). The Ultima Founding in ca. 999.M41 was the largest mobilisation of newly-created Space Marines in centuries. It saw thousands of Primaris Space Marines woken from stasis beneath the surface of Mars and hurled into the forefront of Mankind's galactic war.The revised Codex Astartes decrees that the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Companies are designated Battle Companies, each nominally broken into two demi-companies of roughly equal size and composition. These generally carry the weight of a Chapter's combat duties. Battle Companies consist of at least six battleline squads, two close support squads and two fire support squads. The 9th Company is the Fire Support Company and is the most heavily equipped company in the Chapter, and its heavy cannon-toting Astartes provide unparalleled fire support to their more lightly-equipped comrades. Again and again the Crusaders watched the same tale unfold. When those of the Ultima Founding were brought before their Chapters, it was like a meeting of brothers separated at birth. Arriving at a time of great darkness and upheaval, the new transhuman warriors' strength was welcomed. The dilemma proved divisive. There were those who claimed that this was the ultimate destiny of all Adeptus Astartes, while from other quarters came whispers of rejection, even mutiny, at the prospect. Included amongst their rarefied ranks are the psychically empowered Librarians of the Librarius, the bellicose Chaplains of the Reclusiam, Apothecaries from the Apothecarion, standard-bearing Ancients and the mechanically adept Techmarines and their Servitors.
