Warhammer 40,000

I haven't read it but I believe the procedure to turn regular Marines into Primaris is mentioned in the Dark Imperium novel. This is just the first time we have seen the results in model form.

Are there any dangers associated with primaris upgrade? Anything that would prevent every chapter to throw all their old timers in upgrade pot? I sure wouldn't want everyone to be primaris and only primaris... for maybe silly reason. That new headgear is allright, but nothing will be as iconic as frowny helmets or awesome as beakies.

"awesome as beakies."

I neve get the fasination of beakies aside of old fluff nostalgia, specially with that awfull peck hemet they got.

To quote TTS.

"Yey. Bike."

Opinions, mate. You call that helmet awfull, but I find it like a breeze of fresh air after so many sci-fi helmets being either ordinary helmet with some techy niblets on it or sports car face - you know, the one which prioritizes minimal air resistance in their design. It's so nice to see something so unapologetically eighties once in a while.

Apparently the procedure for the Ultramarines is referred to as the 'Rubicon Primaris,' so my guess is that the procedure to change a regular Marine into a Primaris Marine may not be the easiest thing in the world.

Beakies are a classical historical reference◊.

Maybe? I dont mind but I feel a lot of the "they are awsome" is a lot have to do with nostalgia so it wear me after a time.

Ok, so magnus and is sons will send another cease and desist letter, I got it.

That is understandable - beakie popularity is partially a meme and we all know how they can grate over time. That said I learned about beakies long after my introduction to the franchise so my appreciation of them doesn't stem from nostalgia.

Rubicon Primaris

As in "alea iacta est", I take it. Not bad. Maybe it'll turn out that there's some sort of drawback to becoming a Primaris.

I get it, maybe in my case is like other are getting wearing how much meme are getting in how people percive the game, ADB and Josh reynolds have express a times their distase in how fans kinda expect them to work with the same ideas they see in memes for some reason or another.

Maybe there is high risk of complications or even death. Process of becoming a marine kills most candidates so Rubicon Primaris being dangerous would be perfectly in line with rest of procedures.

Also, considering that Primaris Marines are both bigger and 'arder than regular Space Marines, and Calgar is like 60% bionics at this point, did some poor underpaid intern tech-priest have to disassemble all of Papa Smurf's metal bitz, make bigger metal bitz and then strap them back on the guy?

Fuck it, just turn him into a Dreadnought already.

What nonsensical question is that? It's the papa smurf. Any techpriest would be honored to polish his limbs. It's the only permitted emotion.

I wonder if any of his organic parts "grew back" or were cloned and grafted on when he became Primaris.

There was one last reveal at yesterday's Vigilus Weekender: Genestealer Cult Strategist who appears to be planning something interesting◊ thats Warhammer World in Nottingham on the right for those who don't know.

Winning by overthrowing the people who control the plot is a brilliant plan, one I saw on Dave the Barbarian once.

And he only lose because the narrator got sick in is throat right at the last moment.

Becoming a Primaris involves adding three extra implants. The metal coils around the bones known as the Sinew Coils, the half of the "God-maker" organ that is a key component in creating the Primarchs called the Magnificat, and a gland that is connected to both of an Astartes' hearts and pumps them full of combat stims on the brink of death called the Belisarius Furnace.

It's probably extremely dangerous to add the extra implants late in the Astartes' life as opposed to during the original implantation process.

I can't imagine what will happen when you throw in Warp energy into the mix. Primaris Chaos Astartes experimented on by Fabius Bile...

I also can't imagine Roboute being happy with Calgar's change even if (maybe even especially if) he was the one who ordered it. Remember, he considers the Primaris to be "Cawl's blasphemous hordes".

Look on the bright side: it's probably impossible to make the process of being experimented on by Fabius Bile more painful, dangerous or traumatic than Fabius Bile being involved already does.

There is one way: Fabius Bile looking at his previous experiment and thinking "I was too soft."

This is the guy who thinks that the Astartes' transformation survival rate is too high.

Yeah, but the man has had ten thousand years to slowly whittle away at the survival rates of his experiments. I'm reasonably sure that if he makes them any deadlier then Chaos Lords will stop paying him because they want living soldiers, not cooling meat.

That is becaose other chaos lord are wuss.

"Remember, he considers the Primaris to be "Cawl's blasphemous hordes"."

Which is funny considering the emperor opinion of space marines.

Guillman is still is father son at heart.
