Ranking Every Space Marine Lieutenant in Warhammer 40K 10th Edition 

I want a 5-man squad of Primaris Lieutenants to be a thing in the game. I don't care how good or shit it is. Just let me live out the lore accurate marine experience of having 5 lieutenants for every regular marine.

There are literally more Lieutenants datasheets than there are datasheets in some factions :DDD

It'd be nice to have Lieutenant Titus as an official character with his Fuelled by Fury ability from the Space Marines "board game"

Excuse me the best Lieutenant is the one on Abaddons base!

Time for Lieutenant in terminator armor, Gravis armor, jump pack and bike.

People are joking about it but honestly I like them. Whenever I kitbash something cool I can run it as a lieutenant/castellan as a black Templars player it’s really quite fun and I enjoy it

It's funny when there are basically more lieutenant kits than there are LoV or Custodes plastic kits

The fact that Auspex has a 23 minute video on just Space marine side characters makes me question how much money GW actually makes off them to warrant such an extensive range. I don't know about the rest of you but I don't buy the single model character kits for SM. I kitbash characters out of all the other kits, Lieutenants especially. One box of intercessors made me all the lieutenants I needed. I'd very much like to see GW give world eaters and thousond sons a death guard esque character release and some multi-part leader kits for some of the xenos factions like tau or orks. Please, Space Marines have enough characters.

Can confirm that the picture isn’t all of them, 500th store lieutenant is missing. Also RIP strike and talonmasters.

Why is Deathwing Strikemaster gone... RIP you'll be missed

We need more spacemarine liuetenants. Gravis, flying gravis, Terminator, and jetpack ones. I HAVE SPOKEN!

Not sure if there any exists but I would like to see a ranking of all the space marine epic heroes.

My only beef with heroes is forced/no weapon choice or very little weapon choice in their data sheet. (no friggin thunder hammers for my Sallies - both captains and lieutenants =[ ) About Reiver Lieutenant's pistol AP0... It's a typeo GW don't wanna admit - it's a master-crafted version of Reiver pistol and EVERY master-crafted weapon has identical stats but with better damage. Also I use him as Phobos Lieutenant - just like its box/blister says. As for Biologis, I use regular Apothecary, because I'm a git.

not sure why GW has stopped using any power weapong other than swords & never see hammers/axes/maces/spears. Really limits the creative options.

The eldar can form roving gangs of warlocks and farseers. Its time for the marines to get a unit with only primaris lieutennants. you can fit as many as you have individiual sculpts

You could put the strike master in the same unit as a captain.. don't think auspex realized that. Strike master was literally the best character on this list

Can't wait for the full release of this faction 😄

My sweet Strikemaster, rest in peace King.

The Apothecary Biologis is fantastic. Unless you're using Flamestorm Aggressors. Because for some god damn reason GW hates that wargear option

A second techmarine sculpt would be welcome

This thorough examination of GW’s favorite model has been long overdue!! lol. Well done however. Well done.

where are the chaos lieutenant equivalent? things like World Eaters MoE, exalted champion, master of possession, biologus putrifier, foul blightspawn and so on would have been great to see as a counterpart of the loyalist ones

THIS is the hard hitting journalism we need.

Yes! Thank you benevolent Omissiah! Finally Auspex gives the primaris lieutenant the honor and respect it deserves! 😂 I love how you manage to put out so much content and still have time for these ideas that are just going to bring us joy on so many levels. Keep it up!

Most don't include our boy in black, the Ravenwing Talonmaster. He's not dead, yet. RIP Strikemaster and Talonmaster.

It's kind of crazy how like 90% of the Lieutenant models GW has aren't even legal to play anymore in 10th.

Deathwing strike master being deleted really sucks. RIP my boi

The time it took to make this video, 2 more just got realised

I wish other armies got a fraction of this variety for their standard HQ.

I think my favorite is the one with the Storm Shield, attached to a squad of six Blade Gaurd riding in a Land Raider Redeemer. I think that seems like a good combo. The transport can support them very well and move them up the board.

See the thing that amuses me is that all of the Ultramarines ones are painted as second company, so in GW’s eyes this must be two guys in loads of different disguises

The fact there are more space marine lieutenants then some factions have character units says it all

Shout out the Lieutenant in Phobos armor; who won me the game by calling obj, in spite of being 1 of my 11 models left.

I'm hoping to see more chapter specific lieutenants, with unique traits that pair well with their chapter's playstyle, like White Scars will hopefully get a lieutenant that buffs charge and attacks of bike units or Salamanders will get one that buffs flamers and meltas. I also kind of wish they didn't entirely remove auras, I really wanted to try some combos I made up before they overhauled them

RIP Strikemaster

I'm a Salamanders player who loves drop pods and it's great how Adrax, a Bladeguard Lt and 3 Bladeguards can half fill a dro pod, meaning you can put all manner of 5 man squads into the rest of the spots, like Infernus Marines who love rather close as well

When you think about it, the amount of Lt's GW is making, has a twisted sort of logic to it. After all, if there are 10 companies in a Codex Chapter, that means 20 Lt's (two per Captain) so we have a good few more left to come 😅😅

Not gonna lie, I like most of these models. I know there are too many, but Lethal Hits is pretty awesome and I'm glad they're useful in 10th.

Because we need more…Gravis Lieutenants when?

This is the most important video Auspex Tactics will ever make!!!!!

I'm glad this video exists. Since GW seems to have taken out Lone Wolves as SW character units (and since Pack Leaders can't be used without a squad to attach to), the closest thing and best proxy appears to be various flavours of lieutenant. Being similar prices to some units doesn't help, but the option for conversion is at least there

So there are three named lieutenants in the Ultramarine 2nd company now and that company has two named captains.

GW, give all the Primaris Lieutenants their own individual datasheets so I can have an all lieutenants army you cowards!

I just love some of the sculpts (those Phobos one are great) and have several lieutenants myself… lol

The Tacticus lieutenant is very good for Sons of Sanguinius as it allows my melee units to consistently make charge moves and get the damage boost.

There are so many primaris liuetenant sculpts but the thumbnail is mostly one datasheet.

I think the lieutenant meme pretty much embodies what I dislike about Primaris: Bloated range Monopose models Loss of faction uniqueness (strike master) Loadout limitations Weird anti-synergies Bringing 30k into 40k

I wish ork warboss variants were half as common as these. You can actually do fun and unique variety with warbosses due to orks not having a single uniform type, but nope. We don’t even have a warboss for every clan.

Can’t wait for Codex: Primaris Lieutenants

If Unbound armies were still a thing, I could make an entire 3000 point army out of Primaris Lieutenants.

My favourite Lieutenant is the Bladeguard Lieutenant and second is the “Plasma-Fist”. I like some of the exclusive LTs but won’t go out of my way to acquire them. The Bladeguard LT would be even better if it had multi-pose options, like pointing his sword. The Bladeguard Veterans box has the sword-pointing option I’m looking for; I’m planning to kitbash it into a Lieutenant. For Black Templars, in my casual games, I use the Primaris Lieutenant’s datasheet but always use my Castellan models. Hopefully when the 10e Black Templars codex is released, GW will fix the disparity between the Lieutenant and Castellan attacks and wargear options - just as long as the Castellan retains its Lethal Hits ability! I know there are already a lot of LTs, but I wish there was a Terminator Lieutenant and Jump Pack Lieutenant to lead those types of squads, because Captains are overkill as squad leaders. I wouldn’t mind a Gravis LT, even though the Apothecary Biologis already provides Lethal Hits. If GW does add a Gravis LT eventually, I hope they revise the Bio-Apothecary so it can HEAL and/or REVIVE, and the Gravis LT will get Lethal Hits. No one wants to lose a Gravis character with Lethal Hits, but it would make more sense for a LT than an Apothecary.

The Castellan being worse than the base Lieutenant kind of makes sense because of the Righteous Crusaders detachment. The Lieutenant cannot be attached to a Primaris Crusader Squad or Sword Brethren Squad, where the Castellan can. Accept Any Challenge, No Matter The Odds + Castellan w/ Sigismund's Seal = Lethal and Sustained Hits on 5's and 6's in melee on Crusaders or Brethren. I think GW sees it as a trade off. Durability for lethality.

The content I was waiting to see

What about the Strikemaster?......oh right......

Oh man ive been waiting on this video for so long!!! Let the memes flow!

I don't see how we could add lieutenant to chief librarian Tigurius in the same unit, as Tigurius is not a captain nor a chapter master

IMO the space wolf lieutenant is incredible.In gladius, give him fire discipline. The Wolf guard terminators still have the keen sense rule with ignoring hit modifiers AND +1 to hit when shooting oaths. this means stormbolters always on 2s full fishing for gladius fire discipline critical 5s. in melee, they will hit on 2s always with lethal hits which is violently efficient.

I do wish honestly we had a gravis one

Truly the tierlist we needed, if not the one we wanted.😂

I would have liked Zakariah to have a unique datasheet but I'm not mad at him being a unique regular lieutenant. Losing the Strikemaster sucks, though when 10th came out I kitbashed a normal deathwing termie for the command squad so I guess i'll just swap the Strikemaster with the champion and run them as a normal deathwing squad.

Funnily enough, getting an enhancement with a named character is quite solid. I sometime am going to take Adrax in Bladeguard with a Lieutenant with Forged in Battle. Is all that worth 345 points? Almost certainly not. But it'll be cool!

Great idea for a video

It's funny that people joke about how many Lieutenants there is..but I actually want more! Terminator LT Gravis LT Outrider LT Inceptor LT We can keep going!

Hope they add another one soon, want a full lieutenant army

If they released Space Marine 2 Special Edition with the Titus model that would be a treat.

People complain about the number of Space Marine Lieutenants that have been released but have you considered the number of Space Marine Captains that have been released by GW (and still are releasing)? Far more SM Captains than SM Lieutenants.

I run a Castellan and a phobos Lt since i have a primaris intercessor squad in my BT army.

I have three of these, and didn't even realize it lol.

Feel like the Castellan is just there to give Helbrecht and a squad Lethal Hits

my one thing with powerfists on regular marines as opposed to terminators is that they kinda look like Sock'em boppers

Just as I'm trying to figure out what characters to take for my new Blood Ravens

Since Space Wolves get a termy Lieutenant, but Dark Angels do not - surely that means Dark Angels should get a Lieutenant on a wolf ? C'mon GW - make sense!!

This just makes me wish they put more effort in other things like First Born characters and units and more specialized units

RIP STRIKEMASTER!! We will miss you!

Finally a good ranking

I still miss a Jump pack One, maybe With the Blood Angels codex release

I fully expected a 90 min video to cover all of them 😂😂😂

Could you do one of these comparing captains?

If people think the aggressor/biologis fire discipline combo is strong they never played against a 10 man squad of hellblaster with azrael, ltn amd fire discipline... Thats terrifying xD

Reiver Lt with Hounds of Morkai unfortunately means that he gives Lethal Hits to weapons with Devastating Wounds. I'd argue it is best to not combine those.

Even with all that we still don't have lieutenant in terminator armour, jump pack, or bike.

If the Primaris Lt had the option for a chainsword, you could field the Titus model! It's that easy of a change 😢

I'm surprised its only 24 minutes long

Random question; how do people pronounce Lieutenant? The pronunciation I usually hear is "Loo-tenant" but GW themselves use the English "Leff-tenant". I tend to use the latter only when I'm referring to Warhammer - as it's what's used in the official lore - and the former in all other situations, but curious as to what other people say.

not me using the primaris chaplains for lieutenants because i like the cool coat

First thought….. this is going to take a while

Who needs lieutenant Titus? Will ship to UK.

I do love that they call the Reiver lieutenant "Lieutenant in Reiver Armour". Like, my guys that is just straight phobos armour...nothing special...unless you consider the lack of options and garbage boost he gives to a garbage unit that was meant to be Primaris launch melee option that got laughed out of the game because they have as much AP as they do tactical value: None. Why he isn't just an alternate model option for the Phobos Lieutenant I don't know but theories would be great, current one is that one member of the team has a massive hard-on for his reivers and thinks they are great. Quite sad really because the only use I could even come up for Reivers is to give them their carbines, take 1-2 units in Vanguard with grav-chutes and have deep striking objective monkeys that might annoy attached characters in enemy units. It is a use for them, but 5 points more and you get a callidus who will do what I would use them for for less CP, and have rules that matter... God reivers would have to be cheaper than scouts to be worth anything...they are just marines but seemingly forgot to bring good gear. Could cost 55 points and people would still pay 10 more for scouts!

Weve got a gravis leiutenant disguised as Apothecary

It's just rubbing it in the other factions at a certain point. GW "There are more Primaris Lieutenants than your entire faction specific models!"

Oddly I want a unique Raven Guard Lieutenant

I, Cato Sicarius, say you do captains next.

Primaris lieutenants might have more models than custodes please someone check this that information is beautiful

I don't mind alternative character sculpts. Can the other factions get some, though?

This video makes me cry as a necron play, i want my lord back😭

You forgot the rather dead Lieutenant on Be'lakor's base!

Crazy how space marines cannot get a single model release for 5 years and they would still have an insane number of models compared to other armies.

I have all the prinaris LTs except the dark angels, bloodd angels snd Titus. Other than that i got all the others 😂

we need more

Reiver with Hounds is anti-Psyker gold.
