''Note: as v2.50 is in constant development the following might not be accurate.''
==Prime Brothers (1000pts)==
This is a v3.1.0 list you can build using the '''''Combat Patrol: Space Wolves''''' box from '''Games Workshop''', or any other models of your choice.


==Basic Prime Brothers (750pts)==
This box was picked to represent Prime Brothers as a whole, as it seems to have the best (or at least, most interesting) variety of the currently available Primaris boxes, models that visibly work with its theme (the Blood Angels box is mostly shooting units in a melee army, for example), and has an interesting special rule. Counter-attack is thankfully now not a complete garbage rule, and is always going to be useful if your enemy has any melee units.
This is a v2.50 list you can build using the '''''Combat Patrol: Space Marines''''' box from '''Games Workshop''', or any other models of your choice.


An alternative name for this list is "Everybody Shoots At 2+".
The Assault Squad should probably be used more as a finisher - not much AP going around on their melee weapons. Just pick something to substitute as a fist. Probably the HQ model's axe or something.

==Basic Prime Brothers (1000/1500pts)==
These are two v2.50 lists you can build using the '''''Combat Patrol: Space Marines''''' box from '''Games Workshop''', or any other models of your choice.
 
In the 1000pt list, the Elite Raider is best place in the Infiltration Squad with Scoped Carbines, due to the significantly better chance to hit with their weapons. Note that when firing with a Sniper weapon, you do not have to pick a specific model to hit; you can simply fire at Quality 2+.
 
The "1500"pt list is missing 5 points. Through many variations, this was the one that was likely to perform the best using the parts available in the box. If you and your group are more open to not adhering to "What You See Is What You Get", there may be a way to make up that 5 points. The Transport capacity on the Anti-Grav APC is also somewhat wasted, as all other units in the army have either Ambush or Scout, meaning there is no good unit to Transport. The option to place your Infiltration Squads within is valid however, for example if facing a list with a lot of high-Quality shooting that could easily threaten your units prematurely, such as Titan Lords or a Scout-heavy Eternal Dynasty list.
 
These lists may struggle somewhat versus armies with very high model counts, such as a particularly Assault Grunt-heavy Alien Hives list. There is not much counterplay available, unfortunately, aside from making very careful use of the 18" range of many of your weapons and dancing just outside of the 16" charge range of Fast units.

Likely best to just run the Psychic alone. They've got a decent amount of wounds and a 2+ in every category, and with their spells and good weapon, they'll win most combats they get in.

''Quickness (5+):'' Target friendly unit within 6” gets Impact(1) next time it charges.
The two basic squads are normal bread-and-butter. The first has some Autorifles to assist with shot volume versus high-model-count armies. Just push these guys wherever they need to go. They'll probably survive just fine.


''Blood Curse (5+):'' Target 2 enemy units within 6” take 6 hits each.
The Walker represents most of your kinda-anti-tank capabilities. Its a lynchpin of this list and needs to be protected. Keep it away from Fusion weapons.


''Break Shields (6+):'' Target 2 enemy units within 6” get -2 to defense next time they take hits.

This list can also be played at 1500pts by adding the unused Aggro Squad models (shown below), and upgrading both other infantry units with '''Medical Training''' (This model and its unit get the Regeneration rule.) for 55pts apiece, and upgrading one Blood Prime Brother Auto-Rifle with a '''Grenade-Mod (12", Blast(3))''' for 10pts.

This list will have some issues dealing with high-defense units if the Aggro Squad is not allowed to close to melee distance. The Twin Fist-Pistols on your Aggro Squad can freely be swapped to '''Twin Fist-Flamers (6", A8)''', if you wish. They take an extra turn to get in range to use, but will probably delete an infantry unit in one shooting round, if you think that's more fun.
 
Not too complex or flexible. Get in close, shooting while you're doing it, then shoot better when you're there. Versus Defense 5+ and worse, your all-Heavy Rifle squad will probably get better use out of spending a round in melee, as having twice as many attacks at 3+ is a bit better than 5 attacks at 2+, even with the AP(1), and melee always has the chance of routing to aim for. Your rodeo.

This list will have some issues dealing with high-defense units if the Aggro Squad is not allowed to close to melee distance. To somewhat alleviate this, the first Prime Brothers squad has a Prime Master Lieutenant with Precision Shots, to make their Heavy Rifles hit at AP(2). The second Prime Brothers squad is equipped all with Auto-Rifles and has a Prime Master Munitioner with Special Ammo (instead of using it as an Apothecary), to grant the most possible chances to get Rending hits if necessary, or deal with chaff units otherwise. Fist-Flamers on the Aggro Squad can freely be swapped to Fist-Pistols without affecting the cost of the list; Fist-Flamers is what is present in the list because they both look/are cooler and allow more effective shooting against the kinds of units you would want to shoot with AP(0) shots.

Prime Brothers
Setting: Grimdark Future
Games: Grimdark Future,
Grimdark Future: Firefight
Species: Human
Version: v2.50

Below you will find quickplay army lists for the Prime Brothers from the Grimdark Future universe.

Prime Brothers (1000pts)

This is a v3.1.0 list you can build using the Combat Patrol: Space Wolves box from Games Workshop, or any other models of your choice.

This box was picked to represent Prime Brothers as a whole, as it seems to have the best (or at least, most interesting) variety of the currently available Primaris boxes, models that visibly work with its theme (the Blood Angels box is mostly shooting units in a melee army, for example), and has an interesting special rule. Counter-attack is thankfully now not a complete garbage rule, and is always going to be useful if your enemy has any melee units.

The Assault Squad should probably be used more as a finisher - not much AP going around on their melee weapons. Just pick something to substitute as a fist. Probably the HQ model's axe or something.

The two basic squads are normal bread-and-butter. The first has some Autorifles to assist with shot volume versus high-model-count armies. Just push these guys wherever they need to go. They'll probably survive just fine.

The Walker represents most of your kinda-anti-tank capabilities. Its a lynchpin of this list and needs to be protected. Keep it away from Fusion weapons.
