So who wants (more) Primaris? Because I can see this being a situation similar to the Forgebane box where there is a lot of 'I take this half, you take that half and we split the cost'. Second lol |

It is almost enough for me to consider an Orky flier. Almost.

It is almost enough for me to consider an Orky flier. Almost. To be fair, those Ork fliers do look cool. I love how ramshackle they are. In my opinion, they are the best looking fliers in the game, hahaha. |

Those look amazing.
Melta rifles & Gravis? Ya I think I will need some of those for the Salamanders
The more that comes out the more I realize Primarius is something I'm going to want to get...for Tyson to play with of course...totally for Tyson

And so it came to pass that GW brought forth the awesome. And the community saw that it was good and thier wallets screamed in agony as we threw much money at them.
Though I can see the Necrons looking at all the skulls, bones etc that the Primaris are hauling around and going "We're literally undead monstrosities, and even for us that's overly morbid."
So going down the Necron list: The Overlord redesign is nice as to me it invokes the idea of a leader dressed in war-gear as opposed to court finery that was the previous iteration. Though if that tachyon arrow is a one-shot weapon like the Traveler's in 8e? Yuck.
Royal Warden: Seems like he's going to be a character geared towards the warriors and/or Immortals. Though I have to wonder what sort of buffs a 'relic gauss blaster' might have. Better stats or rerolls?
Plasmancer: We're getting (at least one of) the Cryptek disciplines again. Yes, all my yes.
I just hope that he'll still be able to perform the 5++ bubble and RP +1 duties while laying down all the firepower.
Plasmacyte: Matches up with the rumors/leaks so far in that he is a buffer for the Skorpekh Destroyers.
Canoptek Reanimator: From the sounds of it, the thing is a Ghost Ark that can potentially help non-warrior Necrons and can't transport stuff. Oddly enough it seems like the Doomstalker (shown off on the second post 'Beyond the Box') might not be an alternate build. There are enough difference comparing the two (leg/hip structure, 'neck' design, some bits around the torso) that they might be different yet similar kits.
The fact that all the stuff in the set is pushfit is kind of impressive.
Lokhust Destroyers: I think the one with the super massive gun that we see in the video is the heavy destroy while the one shown on the page is the 'normal' destroyer. Got to admit, certaintly beefier then the old ones.
Canoptek Doomstalker: Cut-rate Doomsday ark. I mean 'move and fire or stay stationary to unleash its full cataclysmic potential'? That's D-Ark 101.

So, going by the article, and what has been said in other places, the set that was shown is apparently not a starter set, but rather will be a limited time thing, sort of like Prophesy of the Wolf, or Blood of the Phoenix, as examples.
That makes me wonder what will be in the actual starter in that case.

well my GSC are incredibly happy with this, and it makes them instantly have a shot at being viable just by this one change alone!
My tyranids and Daemons are ALSO incredibly happy
melee armies might actually be viable this edition! (and that reserve in own deployment even within 1" of enemies is really good for GSC if they get to keep return to shadows)
/and yes Justin... space vikings too...
