So death company now include primaris marines, with the Blood of Baal chapter of the Psychic awakening. While the Blood Angels are getting new rules and strategems. The Flesh Tearers getting more attention as well. Will Gabriel Seth going to die and the Flesh tearers getting a new primaris chapter master? Games Workshop made it official that the death company can now include primaris marines.
I was looking forward to this, yet I am completely underwhelmed. Death company should be fast, roaring chainswords, falling from the sky. With hate that anything in the way becomes a mass of hamburger meat. Instead it's a colour scheme, the extra attack and ++save for being in throes of the black rage. Isn't much when you are using fists and rifle butts. So I won't be painting any of my intercessors black anytime soon and keeping the jump pack wearing, chainsword wielding psychopaths.
Yet, there is a dim light at the end of this tunnel. Maybe you can equip said intercessors with glorious melee weapons.
"Just imagine how much devastation a Death Company Intercessor with a thunder hammer is going to cause… Lots."
Rant over; I suppose it's a case of wait and see. Hopefully you can use the same options as the death company in the codex. Which does mean jump packs and melee. Then again maybe not...
