Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Space Marine Primaris Eradicators Black 99120101286

Product Information

An Eradicator, who is usually part of an Eradicator Squad, is a Primaris Space Marine dedicated to a close range fire support role, particularly against enemy armour and fortified positions.

Eradicators have been a mainstay since 9th edition dropped. 40 points per model gets you access to a mid-range melta unit that can double the number of shots they fire if they don’t Advance, connected to a T5/3W/3+ Gravis statline and firing from a BS of 3+. While the original melta rifle was fantastic at S8, AP-4, and 1d6 damage things have become even more devastating thanks to the new melta rule (+2 damage if you’re within half range) and the option to bring either a multi-melta (now with twice the shots) and the new heavy melta rifle (+2 damage). This means that a full Eradicator squad of 6 models has the opportunity to fire 14 S8, AP -4 shots with 10 having a damage of d6+4 and the other four at d6+2. Note that the heavy melta rifle comes at a 5 point premium, while the multi-melta costs an addition 10 points. Melta Rifle vs Heavy Melta Rifle

Assembly Instructions for Primaris Eradicators – Warhammer 40’000 (40K).

Records now differ as to who were the first Space Marines to take this perilous leap of faith. Some say it was Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines, or that it was Kor'sarro Khan, the White Scars' ferocious Master of the Hunt, who first made this painful transition.

Vanguard Space Marines are Primaris Marine reconnaissance and infiltration experts, equipped to operate alone in enemy territory for extended periods of time and intensively trained in shadow warfare tactics and sabotage techniques. Vanguard strike forces are tasked with achieving full-spectrum superiority over the foe. The 9th Company, being the most heavily equipped in the Chapter, is used to bolster defensive lines and strongholds, as well as provide long-range support. There’s no other way to say this; Eradicators offer a level of potential firepower which is incredible for how much they cost. The combination of Strategic Reserves and smaller board sizes plays right into their strengths. The robes are painted the same way as the red fists, and for this first Veteran I also added some heraldry to his badge in the quite simple form of a red stripe in the same colours and a skull from the Imperial Knights transfer sheet (the tiny Adeptus Titanicus version!) AT transfers are a good source for heraldry – Knights have a great variety of badges and a lot of the AT houses are unusual for 40k, so you can steal their iconography quite freely. I did the same for the other two Veterans. The shields are a fun place to play around with different things – I particularly like the Veteran with a night-sky kind Upon its creation, a Space Marine battle tank is given a name that reflects its role as a protector of the Chapter's brethren. From that point onwards, the vehicle is as much a part of the Chapter as the Space Marines themselves, and over the years its many deeds will be celebrated as greatly as those of the Chapter's flesh and blood heroes.For ten millennia, Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl has been working on a task set for him by the Primarch Roboute Guilliman before he was mortally wounded by the Daemon Primarch Fulgrim in the days after the Horus Heresy: a new legion of transhuman warriors. The Primaris Marines of the Ultima Founding had been swiftly inducted into brotherhoods that the incepted aspirants of yesteryear had given everything they had to join. Questions, heavy with the weight of Mankind's destiny, hung in the air. There are relatively few senior officers with noncombatant roles -- such as recruiting and training new members or administrating the Chapter -- as most of these types of duties are performed by human Chapter Serfs. The 6th Company also trains in the use of Assault Bikes and may be deployed entirely as Bike Squads.

Every company has its own Dreadnoughts; after being interred in the metal sarcophagus, it is customary for a fallen Space Marine to fall under the care and maintenance of the Chapter Armoury, but to remain a part of the company in which he served.On the Eradicators, I wanted to do something a little different with their melta rifles. The barrels are painted Brass Scorpion, then Sycorax Bronze, washed Seraphim Sepia, and then some Brass Scorpion re-layered at the business end of the barrel. This is a lazy way to simulate the heat-staining effect you can see on the studio models. I did a similar thing on the engines for the Outrider’s bikes. Some, Guilliman had forged into new Space Marine Chapters, whole brotherhoods comprised only of these new transhuman warriors. Others he offered to the existing Space Marine Chapters. Many Chapter Masters welcomed their Primaris brethren into their ranks, accepting the new reinforcements gladly. Others, though, viewed these new creations with suspicion or outright hostility, claiming that the Emperor's work should never have been meddled with by mere mortals. A new band of would-be champions is here to take Direchasm by storm, and for Khagra’s Ravagers, nothing short of complete domination will do. This new Slaves to Darkness warband for Warhammer Underworlds brings an entirely new mechanic to the game called desecration, allowing you to cause havoc with your opponent’s plans for scoring objectives. The specialised nature of each of the Reserve Companies sees them deployed in quite specific circumstances. The battleline warriors of the 6th and 7th Companies will often act as crews for large, independent formations of the various armoured vehicles deployed by the Chapter, allowing commanders to field entire companies of skimmers, battle tanks or other swift assault vehicles.

Battle Companies provide their commanding officers with a flexible force that can respond to rapidly shifting Debate raged as to whether such an act was even possible without having deadly consequences for the recipient -- for data that Archmagos Cawl had already amassed on the subject suggested there would be a 61.6% failure rate at such a transformation until the process could be perfected, which would take time. Then there was the moral concern of whether the process should be attempted at all. Here’s all the new 40k rules datasheets and sprues for the Primaris Space Marines units that are coming inside the Indomitus Box Set! A Primaris Marine is gifted three new gene-seed organs in addition to the nineteen originally grafted, sutured and chemically implanted into an aspirant Space Marine.Torchbearer task forces typically comprised small, fast, heavily armed craft and were garrisoned with a mixture of Sisters of Silence, Adeptus Custodes of the Emissaries Imperatus, and Greyshield Primaris battle-brothers of the same genetic line as the chosen Chapter to be reinforced. These escorts ensured that their precious cargo reached its destination regardless of threats and impediments and was put swiftly to use by its recipients. The induction of the Primaris Marines into the Adeptus Astartes was not an easy process by any means. The Chapters of the Space Marines are generally arch-traditionalists, and some are conservative in the extreme, having upheld the same warrior traditions for thousands of Terran years. Primaris Astartes are also implanted with 22 rather than 19 gene-seed organs, and their gene-seed is more resistant to mutation than that of their predecessors. These organs enhance their physiology to an even greater degree than the Firstborn, making them yet stronger and tougher.
