Space Marines Primaris Inceptors

Space Marines Primaris Inceptors

Typically part of a close support Inceptor squad, an Inceptor is the standard Jump Pack equipped heavy attack unit of the Primaris Space Marines, clad in the Gravis variant of Mark X power armor and wielding two assault bolters into battle.

Inceptors are among the fastest moving elements of an Adeptus Astartes assault force, taking on the role of spearhead troops. They hit the enemy with a sudden and overwhelming blow, sending them staggering while subsequent waves of Space Marines drive the charge home.

Inceptors are similar in combat function to an Assault Squad of Firstborn Astartes or a Legion Assault Squad of Ancient Legionaries.
In Codex Astartes, Roboute Guilliman made the role and importance of Astartes' close support squads very clear. A well-coordinated and perfectly timed attack can crush the spine of any enemy, shattering their lines and routing the remnants of their army. In order to carry out such breakthrough attacks, the deployed troops must be fast, aggressive and powerful.

The fastest battle brothers of the Primaris Marines, the Inceptors take on the role of spearhead troops. They hit the enemy with a sudden and overwhelming blow, sending them staggering while subsequent waves of Space Marines drive the charge home.

Armed with heavy Jump Packs and boosted Mark X Gravis Power Armor, Inceptors can be dropped from the very edge of a planet's atmospheric envelope.

Leaping from the attack bays of low-orbiting attack ships, these daring warriors brave the fury of re-entry before locking their drop coordinates and rocketing toward their target.

When the enemy notices their approach at all, they often do so under the delusional belief that the Inceptors are stray warheads or discarded debris from orbital combat.

Some squads intentionally planetfall amidst such cascading debris, weaving through the blazing, plunging debris storm before breaking loose as it flares up to nothing and plummeting into the midst of the enemy. By the time the enemy realizes they're being attacked, the Inceptors are already with them.

Despite the ground-shattering force with which they land, Inceptors land with total control and immediately open fire with the bulky but fast-firing storm bolters that form their primary armament. Servo-equipped boot plates allow Inceptor Squads to survive landing at high speeds and provide extra boost when bouncing off the ground.

Often paired with squads attacking from drop pods, Inceptors are the perfect troops to blow up a beachhead and then provide fire support to keep it clear. The tornado of firepower generated by an Inceptor Squad is more than enough to sweep away terrified enemy infantry, slaughter key commando units, or silence anti-aircraft batteries before the Space Marines' main attack descends.

 5 helmets are included designed for use with the Blast Shield Cowl - no bare heads here of course! 3 Blast Shield Helms are included and 4 Purity Seals - this includes 1 Dual Seal used to distinguish the Sergeant.
