Warhammer 40K Unboxing: Space Marine Primaris Interdiction Force
December 5, 2018 by dignity
Justin is pretty excited to show off the big Battleforce boxes that Games Workshop are putting out this Christmas.
The Space Marine Primaris Interdiction Force (in addition to being quite the mouthful) is packed with a large starter army of a Primaris Captain, 10 Primaris Intercessors, 10 Primaris Reivers, 3 Primaris Inceptors and 1 Repulsor Tank. Justin is pretty excited about how much money this can save people. And John is interested in showing off the loadouts the Repulsor Tank can have...because of course he is.
Which faction would you be tempted to get a Battleforce box for?

Quick and pretty simple way to get started in Warhammer 40,000 for someone who is new to the hobby I’d say. The Primaris are nice and easy to paint and there’s not too much needed technique-wise to make these look impressive.
Just in time for your new Vigilus book too! These look great, and good savings to boot.
Of the forces including the Age of Sigmar ones I think, it’s the Death Guard I’d want. For a new(ish) force The Daughters of Khaine.
This is the most tempting set for me, I’m not sure I need it to be fair but I’m not going to rule this out as a present to myself this Christmas!
Good job guys! I have to say I think Reivers are my favourite thing to come from the whole Primaris thing this edition!
A pure Primaris force, more evidence of the removal of “standard” marines 😉
Good value over buying the minis individually. I will likely get this set in the new year. I like that I have the option of not fitting the horsehair headdress to the captain, I hate that feature.
If GW bring out an updated World Eaters battleforce lead by Kharn the Betrayer with a retinue of Red Butchers I will snap them up.
Justin mentioned difficulty with painting flat armor panels, and I thought I would share an awesome tip I picked up from scale model/ww2 painters for painting tanks: color modulation (via airbrush). Paint your panels in layers with 3-5 tones of the same color (from dark to light). Vertical plates are painted dark at the bottom, lightest color at the top. Horizontal plates are painted lightest at their edge, darkest where they join other details. You are essentially airbrushing “OSL” on every panel, but using a much more limited range of the color spectrum (your highlights will be nowhere near white).… Read more »
