Ultramarines are definitely known for “assault” tactics…the entire 2nd Company is known for it (which is this figures Company). Also, vanguard/jump pack Marines are not exclusive to “assault” Chapters, I don’t understand that little rant at all. As far as making the jump pack Captain a Smurf, it’s because GW said so, pros and cons of the license.
Great video as always. Regarding the Aquilla, it is really designed that way, with the left head having an eye, and the right one having none, or being "blind". According to WH40k wiki, "The blind side of the symbol represented Mankind looking back into its past at the lessons of its history and traditions, while the sighted eagle looked into the future and the hope of the better life that the Emperor would create for Humanity." edit: i just checked and actually BA will also have the jump pack captain with a power fist, heavy bolt pistol, power sword, and unhelmeted head.
Did you miss that they *did* make a Blood Angels jump-pack captain as well (not just the line troops)? They gave him the power fist that was one of the options in the kit.
BA's got a captain, 2 intersesors, Dante, and 5 Sanguinary Guards coming all with jump packs. It's an incredible amout of stuff joytoy is putting out. If they haven't gotten to it yet, they will. Be patient
I really don't get the legion choice complaint. If you are bored by ultramarines or just don't like them then don't buy it. It is like complaining that it is a jump pack captain and not a terminator.
I'm holding on to my joytoy budget money right now cause there is a legion I'm waiting on and this captain looks like his going to be part of the co-op in the Space marine 2 she i must resist until i get a better astartes from the Horus heresy.

That’s awesome! I did not know that so thank you for dropping that piece of knowledge.
Was just coming to drop that nugget, but you got it covered👍
You're right, the imperial flag I have in my room (I bought it on Aliexpress) is this way. I noticed it only now.
With Dante getting announced a few weeks ago and the Sanguinary Guard getting announced today. SNS will be eating well as a Blood Angels fan.

They *have* done a Blood Angels jump pack captain though

On the right pouldron, the one-Eyed Aquila is on purpose, it means the union of Mars and Terra.👍
The double headed eagle should only have one open eye so that is correct
Dante and SangGuard - all we need!!!!!)))
Ultramarines aren't assault troops? What?

Which legion are you waiting for?
@@naturallawgiver the night lord's since you could add them to the modern setting since most of there armors are from heresy era.
