The base with the dead marine has caused a lot of debate on the assorted forums, largely between the "All grimdark, all the time" side and the "Space marines have something nobler going on" side, as to how much the space marines respect their own dead.
Anachrotech I think they misundertood, the apothecary is obviously trying to save his fallen brother with CPR applied by foot on the chest while checking the geneseed on his hand. Is a frantic life being an apothecary in the 41st millenium!
Greatoverlordchikonmaster because this is still a primaris character model, and so will be the same price as the other space marine characters. ironically, this is easily the best and most worth it of the lot price wise. you should be asking "why does the apothecary look the best and most detailed when its the least important character"
maybe because its just one of the models they thought needed the most love!? what do you think!? greetings coolsskin! put one next to Robo G and it wil be a nice combo!
To address the apothecary stepping on the marine- he just removed the progenoid gland, and in order to brace the marine against the Narthecium he stepped on his chest to hold him still. Now he’s inspecting it for any defects, but he hasn’t removed his foot yet because he hasn’t had time.
Seriously well-done model, TBH. I've seen a rather hilarious Fabulous Bill conversion transplanting this guy's backpack & Reductor pistol on to the Primaris Chaplain model (keeping the Chappie's pimp cane) and subbing in a bare head.
Great looking model. Would of liked to of seen you build it, perhaps in a separate video for us proper noobs. Great video though mate, i've found you to be one of the more helpful youtubers out there.
Still waiting on mine should be coming any day now with my Chaplain. Got my Captain and Librarian were underwelming as not enough options. He looks great tahnk you for review.
Space Marine Commander box: 26 pcs, £14. Primaris Character boxes: 12, 20, 21 and 28 pcs, £22.50 each. I love the models (although the captain is a bit uninspired) but I'm simply not paying that price.
How does the size of the separate shoulder pads on the Primaris compare with a standard tactical marine? Could I use a shoulder pad from say the Dark Angel upgrade sprue?
Wow- the size difference between the old "mini-marine" (that's really becoming an affectionate term in my head) and the Primaris apothecaries is enormous! I had no idea- until now, of course- thank you! I'm looking forward to getting him to work on next month, as my hobby budget is well past depleted!
Size is the only thing they are adding. Most kits dont even have any weapon variants anymore. Like flamer meltas plas. or the melee weapons. And in the long run your entire collection will be replaced by bigger size versions.
RetributionAngel well, I'd like to believe not replaced, just reinforced. But I know I'm just hoping against hope, here- I suppose that the true test will be- see if GW EVER releases a new "old size" marine model, or kit- I truly hope they do. The Primaris look amazing in my opinion, but I still love the originals. I'll buy both- let's hope they keep releasing both!
If you haven't noticed, they have been making normal chaos marines and deathwatch marines a bit bigger so I think they will make a normal marine kit with a bit bigger models at some point. WITH MK.9 ARMOUR PERHAPS.
@ Mark I think they will releas diffrent versions of them. Say bigger Bikes with Primaris on them + diffrent weapons. Like long range bolter or 3 bolters instead of the now 2. A new pred could be based on this floating tank + extra guns. So new releases could be like the old but diffrent enough so you cant just use your old ones. Just look at AOS. Were the blackorks and boar ridders are replaced without replaceing them. No one will buy the old ones now. So there goes the collectors value. Collector item should get more valuable with time. If GW they become less in value with the new model. I dont understand the GW direction when there are still things left people have been asking for for years. Like Thunderhawk, Plasma Preds, Jetbikes, Drea- Droppods, Mortis Dreads, ect, ect, ect.
With a little converting you could make the Space Marine he's stepping on a Chaos Space Marine, that would definitely look pretty cool and would make him seem more menacing on the table. I don't have any Chaos stuff, but I'm sure I can use some Space -furries- Wolves stuff.
I personally think it's disrespectful to step on a fallen brother. On the other hand...the fallen brother shall live again because his geneseed his been extracted for the next generation!
only thing i don't like about it is it's off center position there will also be a problem with ramps cuz of the center of gravity maybe his stepping and leaning on his bro meant that girlyman's superer marines r much more pragmatic and less superstitious. it also kinda makes em, esp this pose, more detached and inhuman.
^i am building them right now scratch build! you play marines? you know that Ultramarines Sergeant Chronus is like the cheapest you can get for like 35 pts! only problem he needs to start in a tank but who doesnt play tanks in 8th edition right!? greetings coolsskin!
Why in the name of the emperor would he hold his own gene seed in his hand when he has a fallen Battle brother under his feet with a hole in his throat?
I am so much trying to make sense of the Primaris. There is none. I still hate them more than anything in 40k. It used to be Tau that I hated, but my opinions have changed. Don't get me wrong, I love SPACE MARINES.
PrimarisGeneseedIsHeresy They aren't replacing Space marines whatsoever, are you mental? They never will. The normal Space Marines are iconic, and they still have some advantages over Primaris Marines in games. The normal space marines will always be used and GW can't get rid of them unless they want a huge part of the players to go insane. I haven't read too much of their lore to be honest, but that really isn't a huge thing to hate them over. The majority of people complaining of their lore have made some pretty trash complaints.
Their complaints might seem bad because of the lore. The whole Primaris thing is so useless. People liked when GW started to advance the lore, but cmon not this fast.
Your points are way too vague to even take seriously. The Primaris Space Marines were made to put strengthen the war effort considering the Chaos forces are becoming overwhelmingly strong to the point where numerous Chapters are dying out fast. They exist to replace lost numbers, be it squad-wide or chapter-wide, depending on the need. They are a harmless addition so far in my opinion. Of course, several purist chapters are too stubborn to not look a gift horse in the mouth down upon them as perversions of the Emperor's work, but they have proven to be what the Imperium needs to get back on it's feet.
if the marines legs are buried under ruble the marines still alive if he is just a torso he might still be alive but its a small chance srsly these primaris apothecarys are the worst thee is apiece of art where an apothecarry is trying to kill a primaris marine and he is putting up a fight im not joking but primaris apothecarys are straight up assholes marines are real hard to kill you could fire a machinegun into a marine wear nothing and hed be slightly injured you could impale you could stab him and he would be fine primaris apothecary same on you you should get fired and give us a primaris techmarine smh head these guys truly are the spychos of tthe 40k univeres we are medics but we kill and stand on our on dudes that we are suposed to keep alive!
Beautiful model. Want one myself, but it is too expensive in my opinion
Sratchbuilding one could be a solution! greetings coolsskin!

The apothecary is an iron hand, and the fallen one is an emperor's children marine. He is NOT trying to save him
Why is an apothecary the same price as the chaplain, captain, and librarian ? GW is being GW again

Indeed

greetings coolsskin!
put one next to Robo G and it wil be a nice combo!
I lost it when he pulled out an axe to open the box
To address the apothecary stepping on the marine- he just removed the progenoid gland, and in order to brace the marine against the Narthecium he stepped on his chest to hold him still. Now he’s inspecting it for any defects, but he hasn’t removed his foot yet because he hasn’t had time.
Thanks, now i can sleep without worrying about this :D Im serious, this made my day better XDD
Seriously well-done model, TBH. I've seen a rather hilarious Fabulous Bill conversion transplanting this guy's backpack & Reductor pistol on to the Primaris Chaplain model (keeping the Chappie's pimp cane) and subbing in a bare head.
Do you also clean your mold lines with that axe?
Great looking model. Would of liked to of seen you build it, perhaps in a separate video for us proper noobs. Great video though mate, i've found you to be one of the more helpful youtubers out there.
military tomahawk for the opening...nice!

Raymond Wright the primaris shoulder pads are a little bit bigger than normal shoulder pads

Never forget the REAL SPACE MARINES. Fuck the Primaris.

Wow, I’m here just 1 year and 364 days after this video was made, such a coincidence almost

I think hes stepping on the fallen marine for leverage and control so he can deploy the narthicium and drill into the armor.
I agree this one look sweet AF
i agree on what you argree on! greetings coolsskin!
So the apothecary cannot revive a fallen character?
I personally think it's disrespectful to step on a fallen brother. On the other hand...the fallen brother shall live again because his geneseed his been extracted for the next generation!
^^ gehehehe nice explanation! greetings coolsskin!
Holding a progenitor seed like "Hmm, wont be needing this anymore."
may be the have found another way to do this! greetings coolsskin!
only thing i don't like about it is it's off center position
there will also be a problem with ramps cuz of the center of gravity
maybe his stepping and leaning on his bro meant that girlyman's superer marines r much more pragmatic and less superstitious. it also kinda makes em, esp this pose, more detached and inhuman.
Why does there being 2 sprues somehow make it better? You're still only getting one model.
do you think the apothecary would look ok painted as ravenguard ?
dFuZe Inferno Well they are all white, soooo yes
CLOROX BLEACH unless your deathwing, grey knights, or space wolves
space wolves can not take apothecary :( i would know being a space wolf player
Death Wing apothecaries use Terminator armour
chimp205 they can it's just named differently and uses healing balms and can't revive models
I bought recasts of this and the Chaplain, the only recasts in my arsenal. I refuse to shed $35 for those.
primaris techmarines, primaris champions, primaris jetbikes maybe? :D
thanks for sharing this! greetings coolsskin!
Story of my GW life... finally spent 35usd on an apothecary and no 40mm base in unopened box☹ so typical
dont u mean antlion? love the videos though☺
i agree it is a great video! greetings coolsskin!
The Primaris Techmarine is riding atop of his Repulsor :)
MrMiserum The plastic Sisters of Battle are riding on top of a plastic Thunderhawk with Lion el'Johnson
also open with sword
33 pounds in Australia. 44 pounds for the one with the Deathwatch sprue.
techmarine and chapter master next
^i am building them right now scratch build! you play marines? you know that Ultramarines Sergeant Chronus is like the cheapest you can get for like 35 pts! only problem he needs to start in a tank but who doesnt play tanks in 8th edition right!? greetings coolsskin!
*casually cuts a tiny box open with an giant axe*
Where's my
Primarus grey knight librain apothecary dreadnought
That flys
sounds like a really big thing!? maybe a primaris knight or primaris titan!? would be even bigger! greetings coolsskin!
He's holding his gene seed in his hand. He has other fallen brothers gene seeds around his neck. This way the Legion can live on.
Why in the name of the emperor would he hold his own gene seed in his hand when he has a fallen Battle brother under his feet with a hole in his throat?
Pflaumenkuchen01 Aww great point. I'm just trying to make sense of the pose.
casually opening the box with an axe
holy shit
you really have a lot of money for spending in these things
I WISH i could buy this things
very hard as i live in a third world country
Gehehehe... maybe Gw should sell it for 3th world prices then! XD greetings coolsskin!
Did you open that box with a FUCKING TOMAHAWK!?!?!?!?!?!?
Dean The minecrafter blogs yes
thats not a granade :3
So what is it then!? greetings coolsskin!
£28 I can make 5
^^ show me i am scratch building 2 right now! greetings coolsskin!

I like how you don't actually explain why you don't like Primaris, sounds like your just complaining to complain.
1. Their lore. 2. They're replacing Space Marines, which is just stupid and people didn't ask for this. 3. Their lore.
