Whilst each company has a number of its own transport vehicles, the majority of vehicles in a Chapter are maintained by its Armoury. When the need arises these armoured fighting vehicles are deployed as massed spearheads -- wholly independent from the companies and commanded by a senior officer -- or requisitioned individually by a Captain to support their company. The ultimate goal of this relentless campaign is to leave the foe crippled and helpless before the advance of the main Space Marine battle line. Each time such a momentous occasion came, another cadre of battle-brothers would peel off and reinforce the Chapter whose colours they wore and whose genetic heritage they shared. Not all of these Primaris reinforcements had an easy time integrating with their erstwhile Firstborn brothers, but ultimately all brought fresh strength to the Space Marine Chapters fighting furiously against the tide of horrors vomited from the Great Rift. The revised Codex Astartes decrees that the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Companies are designated Battle Companies, each nominally broken into two demi-companies of roughly equal size and composition. These generally carry the weight of a Chapter's combat duties. Battle Companies consist of at least six battleline squads, two close support squads and two fire support squads.Some amongst the Adeptus Astartes suspected that the Primaris Marines, being stronger, more durable and closer in blood to the primarchs themselves, represented the obsolescence of the Firstborn Astartes. 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. Iron Hands will not have to deal with any hit penalties in the Devastator Doctrine, and thanks to Methodical Firepower (1 CP) will be able to get two units into Devastator Doctrine (but they have to be on the board at the beginning of the Movement phase). Though they now stand a step above their Firstborn Astartes brethren, all Primaris Space Marines are still created using the original gene-seed of one of the Loyalist primarchs, like all other members of the Adeptus Astartes. The dilemma proved divisive. There were those who claimed that this was the ultimate destiny of all Adeptus Astartes, while from other quarters came whispers of rejection, even mutiny, at the prospect.

Note: A previous version of this chart accidentally swapped the flamestorm and boltstorm lines. I apologize for the mistake and corrected it above. A squad of 6 Salamander Eradicators in Tactical Doctrine all equipped with the Heavy version with He'stan outside of half-range will deal an average of 26 damage to a Knight if you use the strat to make them count as standing still (to avoid the -1 to hit penalty after moving). Similarly, squads of the 7th Company are trained to fight with Land Speeders and Stormtalons, often acting as a light vehicle reserve formation.However, Primaris Space Marines are bigger -- standing from 8 to nearly 10 feet tall (approximately 2.5 to 3 metres) in their armour in some cases -- more resilient, physically more powerful and possess faster reaction times than their original Astartes counterparts, now often referred to as the " Firstborn."

At the dawn of the Indomitus Crusade to retake the Imperium from the advancing armies of Chaos and xenos alike, Lord Commander of the Imperium Roboute Guilliman gathered his new armada, along with elements of the Adeptus Custodes, a small contingent of the Silent Sisterhood and a vast war host of Primaris Space Marines as he fought to liberate the scattered bastions of the Imperium. Adam, from TFG Radio here to talk about why Eradicators and Salamanders are putting the meta to the torch. Not every Chapter of Firstborn Marines welcomed these new arrivals; the Adeptus Mechanicus is an acquisitive and controlling organisation, known to be unscrupulous in its pursuit of power. Chapters such as the Dark Angels, the Space Wolves and the Mortifactors are notoriously insular of culture, and some guard dark secrets they would risk much to keep out of the manipulative Tech-priests' databanks.The offensive output of an Eradicator Squad is so high that T8/3+ models are at a level of vulnerability that eclipses 8th Edition. You will absolutely want to bring a combination of invulnerable saves and abilities that ignore wounds if you can. Many Space Marine strike forces are constructed around squads from a single Battle Company, heavily reinforced by elements of the Veteran, Scout and Reserve Companies. 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.
