Warhammer Day has blessed us with news that should ignite the hearts of every faithful warrior of the Imperium. Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, the definitive strategy title for planet-wide carnage, prepares to receive the might of the Primaris Space Marines with the upcoming Ultima Founding DLC. Launching December 10th, this expansion introduces eight new units, each a testament to the Emperor’s grand design. These warriors, forged in the fires of necessity and clad in the finest armour, are ready to take the fight to Gladius Prime’s myriad foes.
If you thought the Adeptus Astartes were already the pinnacle of warfare, think again. The Primaris are here to make even the most fanatical heretics rethink their life choices. These aren’t just soldiers—they’re the Emperor’s scalpel and hammer, precision and brute force incarnate.
Unit Breakdown: The Emperor’s Finest
- Primaris Intercessor: The workhorse of the Primaris, these units combine tactical flexibility with relentless firepower. Equipped with bolt rifles, they’ll mow down hordes of enemies like wheat before the scythe.
- Primaris Aggressor: Heavy, unyielding, and absurdly deadly. Flamestorm gauntlets or boltstorm gauntlets give them the tools to obliterate anything that dares come close.
- Primaris Hellblaster: Plasma weaponry in its purest, most overpowered form. They excel in reducing even the heaviest targets to molten slag.
- Primaris Inceptor: High mobility meets high lethality. These jetpack-wearing death machines bring the fight to the skies, raining destruction from above.
- Primaris Invader ATV: Fast, brutal, and surprisingly durable. The Invader ATV excels in hit-and-run tactics, sowing chaos in enemy ranks.
- Storm Speeder Thunderstrike: A versatile vehicle that brings air support with precision and devastating firepower. Perfect for obliterating key targets and denying the enemy control of the battlefield.
- Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought: A hulking monstrosity of armor and weapons, this walking behemoth exists solely to annihilate anything foolish enough to oppose the Imperium.
- Primaris Repulsor Executioner: A floating fortress armed to the teeth. It delivers firepower and troop transport capabilities in one terrifying package.
Why Gladius Needs the Primaris
The Ultima Founding DLC doesn’t just bring new toys to the battlefield; it reshapes the dynamics of Gladius. These units offer tactical options that range from holding defensive chokepoints to executing fast, brutal assaults. For those who live and breathe strategy, the Primaris provide an opportunity to rewrite the rules of engagement.
The Primaris are coming. The battlefield will never be the same. December 10th marks the beginning of a new era on Gladius Prime, one drenched in the blood of heretics and the sweat of warriors. For the Imperium. For the Emperor. Prepare yourself, or perish.
