Meanwhile, Orks are stuck with Gorkamorka-era models, Aspect Warriors are Finecast, and Chaos only have a single modern unit for their Cult troops.

But hey, more Space Marines! Just what we all asked for.

At least boltguns have a more modern take on them with the rail and scope. The mechanicus must've been keeping all the 21st century tech hidden until now.

Not gonna lie. These look sweet.

If they were truly modern, the scope would be on the rails instead of stamped onto metal. That way the marines could trade the scope for different optics allowing for more customization of your miniatures, but nope GW missed that opportunity.

In the trailer will your spiritual liege announces his plan to create new space marines. He said that they would bring rebirth to chapters that were dead or close to being wiped out, and relief to those still alive.

While the Codex is t out yet I presume the new Primaris Marines are going to every chapter because why not he just declared a crusade.

Rowboat didn't. He just ordered them. Camel has been working on these guys for 10,000 years. They're just now ready. Or perhaps they've been ready for a while and someone with enough authority showed up to demand their production.

Also they are being shared with the other loyal chapters. Read the articles on Warhammer Community. You can have Space Wolves Primaris marines or whatever if you want.
>>
>>53250765
Lost in the warp like the 4th sohere of expansion of course! That thought did occur to me too.
>>
Okay guys let's be rational for a moment.
One one hand they are sturdier veterans (but I'd take rubrics any day of the week) whose bolters have 6" longer reach and -1ap.

That's great and all, but they cost more, their squads are smaller and can't carry special nor heavy weaponry.
In the rubric datasheet we saw the options for different equipment, so if GW aren't being total asses and giving us a false datasheet, I assume that Primaris Marines Interceptors or however the fuck they have called them will be limited to 5man squads of -1 ap dakka and 2 attacks.

Now, not having special weapons really makes me think about the viability of playing them instead of a 10man tac squad with meltas or plasmas. I would take 3-5 s7 ap-4 shots before 10 s4 ap-1 shots in most situations. Besides, they cannot have dedicated tankhunting equipment and the lack of dakka can be compensated by giving heavy bolters to the regular tacticals.

Maybe the Primaris Marine sergeants will be allowed to take special weaponry, but still, with the overhaul of combiweapons, regular marine sergeants get much more scary.

Thoughts?

>>
>>53250784
>hey're just now ready. Or perhaps they've been ready for a while and someone with enough authority showed up to demand their production.
Two years ago GW was ramping up to SIGMAR the whole 40K universe, these indominus marines were going to be the Guillicast Ultraternals. But when they saw the Fantasy backlash they pulled back the timeline/scale and just made the new guys """reinforcements""", you don't really *neeeeed* to buy them, but you'll want to, that is, unless you like playing with your old small guys, that's cool i guess, whatever kid.
>>
>>53250210
The model looks great, but I don't understand why it exists.
>>
>>53250799
The cost of having 3-5 special weapons in a regular space marine squad is probably going to cost way more than the difference between having the numarines

NOOOOOPE.

Its basically just Ground Marines, Khorne and Tzeentch, plus new factions added. Old factions get nothing except brief mentions saying Jimminy Jilikers while Sigmarines or Khorne do stuff.
>>
>>53250799
If you look at the "power level" they cost six. Tacs are 5 and Rubrics are 8. It looks like the premium for these guys isn't going to be huge.

I would prefer to see points to get a better estimation. My guess is that Primaris are going to cost around 18-19 points.

Plus if you're playing by power you don't have to pay for special weapons because muh narrative, so I would still stay with 10 power points 10 man tac squad with plasmagun, plasmacannon and combiplasma.

That's like saying Space Marines got something when AdMech was added because both are Imperium. Or adding new Tyranid factions means anything to Tau and Orks.

Almost every SM player will get some, and many of them will replace their whole collection with these "true scale" marines. $$$

>>53251004
I'm just saying the power level gives us a rough idea of the eventual points cost. Since Tacs are 13 each I'd expect these guys to be about 16 points each.

The existing line was just trimmed.

Again, creating a new faction is not giving something to the old one any more than adding Sisters of Silence is an addition to Space Wolves.

No, Space Wolves are as to Space Marines as Sylvaneth are to Wood Elves. That is, subfactions. If Space Wolf shit came out it would very much be new Space Marine stuff. Same way the new Ynnari was new Eldar stuff or the Tempestus were new Guard stuff. You can run all those things as simply part of the larger factions army, therefore it is releases for those factions.

>>
>>53250818
This yours or is it official?
>>
>>53250765

Honestly I'm guessing they went with Mk X simply because looks cooler and alternatively can be pronounced as mark ex.

I suppose they'll either say that Aegis armor is Mk IX or that the geneseed modifications took longer than the creation of the armor and in that time they created both Mk IX and X.

You know what Anon's they actually look pretty cool, but I think the release of nu-marines for me marks the end of my SM army. I still have a bit of a backlog to sort and few extra things to get but the sun is certainly setting.

Because you assholes don't read

>So, what’s a Primaris Space Marine?

These are a brand-new breed of warrior, commissioned by the Primarch Guilliman and developed in secret on Mars for the past 10,000 years by Archmagos Belisarius Cawl. Find out all about them and check out an awesome video here.

>Are all my current Space Marine miniatures redundant now?

No way! Primaris Space Marines do not replace regular (if a superhuman killing machine can be described as ‘regular’) Space Marines. These guys have a few extra genetic enhancements, thanks to Belisarius Cawl, and serve as additional reinforcements in the Adeptus Astartes arsenal, not replacements.

>Will there be multiple types of Primaris Space Marines?

You bet. So far you’ve seen the Intercessors, the line infantry clad in Mk X armour, but there are plenty more on the way. And likely vehicles too…

>Wait, Mk X armour?

Yup, these guys have new armour: combining the best bits of classic Horus Heresy-era plate, with some fancy tech developed more recently.

>Can I field a whole army of Primaris Marines?

You totally can. From a background point of view, some Chapters, especially those decimated in the events of the Gathering Storm, now have entire companies of these new warriors. Others have incorporated squads of Primaris Space Marines into existing Battle Companies. And perhaps most excitingly, Guilliman has founded some entirely new Chapters out of these new Space Marines.

>I have an <insert favourite Chapter> army. Can I field Primaris Space Marines?

Any of the galaxy’s many hundreds of Codex Chapters can use Primaris Space Marines, along with many of the less Codex-compliant ones like Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves.

>>53251312
In which case, maybe having the ultramarine Aquila being omnipresent on them will later on be a mark of 'primaris' versus 'regular', when everything's on the new scale?
>>
>So, Primaris are just better in the game, right? What’s the point of using older Space Marines?

Marine to Marine, they certainly have some advantages over a Tactical Squad, but it comes at a cost. These guys will cost more points than standard Space Marines, so you’ll have fewer of them, and their weapon options will be different. For maximum tactical punch, you’ll want to bring all your Space Marines to the tabletop.

>What if I don’t want to use them?

Well, aside from missing out on some cool new models and tactical options for your army, then that’s totally cool. You certainly don’t have to include Primaris Space Marines in your Space Marines army. Though when you see the Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought, you’ll want to. Primaris Dreadnought? Did I write that…? Nah. Moving on.

>Are the kits compatible with existing Space Marine kits?

Good Question. There are certainly elements of the existing Space Marines kits that will be cross-compatible, while the new armour mark means that some parts won’t mix as easily. Shoulder pads and helmets are the same scale, and will still work, whereas the legs, torso and arms are different, and not quite as interchangeable. In terms of the Primaris sets themselves, you’ll have loads of fun kit-bashing them.

>Can I use these guys alongside my Astra Militarum army?

Yeah you can. These new Space Marines will be available to use alongside all Imperial armies to fill some battlefield roles your army might normally struggle with.

No, Mk has seemingly always been used to differentiate between the different types of power armor that have been available to all Chapters.

>>53251552

I didn't really think of it until now, but it seems like they've done enough to make Mk X its own thing. It has a gorget, some kind of device built into the arm, plates covering the hips, and the fan armor above the knees.

I think current models will be made redundant, but naturally, the way Rogue Trader marines started looking silly by late 2nd edition and fell out of use.

First they'll release Ultraultramarines to cover every part of the current model range - this'll take a while, possibly 5+ years. Then they'll merge their rules in the next edition. At that point, you can run either big or small marines under the same rules, but your small marines will look a little funny. It's worth noting that the new Sisters of Silence models are about as tall as space marines... either humans needed to shrink or marines needed to grow. They've chosen the latter.

>>53250210

How is it that I have seen that kind of Marine years before?

Something about Dornian Heresy and Ultramarines splintering into own empire, and advancing own tech.
>>
>>53251963
This. It's a fade out of the old marines. They could either completely alienate their customer base, never endeavor to change marines at all, or do a transition like they're doing.

I think they made the right choice.
>>
>>53251964
The are the standard unit for a new elite type of Marines. GW is designing it so you can have an army purely of various types of these guys if you want.
>>
>>53251779
As a Heresy player, I'd say it looks like Mk VIII with the addition of design cues from Mk III (known for frontal protection) and Mk IV (arguably the most advanced model). The rounded kneepad could be from the more recent marks, but the way they've been bulked out does bring Mk III to mind. And the helmet is very Mk IV.

It's there to prevent outright civil wars between chapters and IoM. Once the indominus crusade is over there won't be that many regular marines left and the superior production time of the guillimarines will start to kick in.

Hold up, they've completely replaced the marine miniatures line twice already and it's never really alienated the customers.

They could have done the same thing here, but for whatever reason decided to make it a fluff point. They obviously knew people weren't going to happy about that sort of development (as evidenced by half the FAQ going on about it) but went with it anyways because... who knows.

So are they basically replacing all the current models with "primaris" versions bit by bit
>>
I don't understand why the "superior" aspect was even played.

I mean, Cawl could have invented a better way to create space marines not unlike the Blood Angels sarcophagus, designed a new suit of armour that's actually totes better (but a bit heretical because innovating) and a new gun and Bobby G could have offered this to the space marines chapters as part of the indomitus crusade.

Really the whole "super marines" is stupid. New breeding method+new armour mark could have been enough and would have made this whole story less contrived.

Sylvaneth (You have to buy wildwoods to play)
Savage Orrukz (All the heroes are ancient fucking 4th ed fantasy sculpts)
Pestilens (They couldn't even be bothered to release a priest on foot. No other Skaven have been released btw)
Flesh eaters (Heroes so badly implemented you have to give up the 20th or 3th model in the box to make them )

Straight from Warhammer community itself

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/15/primaris-space-marines-faq-may15gw-homepage-post-2/

Can I field a whole army of Primaris Marines?

You totally can. From a background point of view, some Chapters, especially those decimated in the events of the Gathering Storm, now have entire companies of these new warriors. Others have incorporated squads of Primaris Space Marines into existing Battle Companies. And perhaps most excitingly, Guilliman has founded some entirely new Chapters out of these new Space Marines.

I have an <insert favourite Chapter> army. Can I field Primaris Space Marines?

Any of the galaxy’s many hundreds of Codex Chapters can use Primaris Space Marines, along with many of the less Codex-compliant ones like Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves.

I always felt like they were the big cheese, but that day by day the cheese was being eaten by dozens of hungry space Italians of all shapes and sizes.

Now the cheese has gotten some extra moisture so it's extra tasty and will likely be too flavorful for any kind of European to eat. Plus they have that new Gorilla that won't stop telling everyone how great the new craft cheeses he's working on are with his new automated cheese maker.

I was fine when the cheese was starting to mold, but now the cheese is just as delicious as when the Emperor first became an amateur fromager.

Yes but it could have been done differently, and later and even more spectacular.

I mean, those minis are absolutely good, but they should have been used as the new standard space marine box. New shiny armour mark, new boltgun, not out of scale with Deathwatch marines. Then later they release a box of "Imperium-era marines" which is a in-scale kit of old space marines armour patterns.


In the background it makes way for a shadow war between the traditionalist AdMech who still believes a STC can be found vs pragmatic AdMech who actually try to improve their shit, and traditionalist marines who don't want the new shit (or stranded too far) vs Guillimarines.
>>
>>53252210
I assume there were a good amount of corporate shenanigans involved.
What we're seeing is the result of compromise between people who wanted to update the models, people whose plan for 8th was a complete Sigmarization, and the one guy claiming that Space Marines just don't get enough love, especially with a new edition coming.
(I assume that somewhere in the offices there's always somebody claiming that their pet faction just doesn't get enough love; but they only ever listen to four at a time, and three of them never change.)

The Escalation system completely fucks the pace of the game by demanding you play in a certain way. It draws too much inspiration from MOBAs in terms of map design and objectives. The campaign ending with another hero fight against a Giant Red Demon, something like the third in the series. The aesthetic is awful. The cover system is retarded. The voice acting isn't as good as the first two games. It's just an extremely poor sequel which tries to please both DoW1 and DoW2 fans and ends up disappointing both.

Then there's no reason to buy the new models that, even though they're more detailed, have better margins because they're bigger models.

It's a phase in of true-scale with proper rules but the encouragement to buy the true-scale without completely alienating the existing customer base. The whole thing is a giant compromise between gross margin, customer expectations, and pushing the new edition.

Id rather have a "this is the new space marine. Yep you heard us, we will replace the full like with guys like this!"
And finally aim for a 40k that goes in scale, and making a tactical space marine an actual space marine, not just cannon fodder. Make bolters rip of chunks of a well armored target or annihilating light vehicles with ease! Simply make them as bad as as they are described in the fluff.

With this however, they are simply accepting that the former "super soldier of the imperium of man" has shrunk due to other teams just walking over him time and time again. And that they, through sheer greed, have made people buy more and larger armies, and thus dumb down the value of a regular marine.
With this, they make marines, well.... Less mariney I guess is what Im trying to say.

Don't get me wrong, love the model, I just hate the rest about it.

Seriously, I like a lot of Kopinski's art but I can't forgive him for starting this trend.

>Using additional Super-heavy & Orbital Strike Wing Flyer Units

>The vast milieu of battle during the Horus Heresy and the armies of the Great Crusade were staggeringly diverse, with only the most common or singular currently dealt with by Forge World’s Horus Heresy supplements. In order to represent this diversity when it comes to Super-heavy vehicles and Flyers, this section presents a list of additional models which may be used. In many cases, the Imperium of the Great Crusade sees the origin of some of these designs, while in others they can simply be used to stand in for one of the many less-widespread war machine types and unique patterns employed by a vast Imperial armed force, far less regimented and standardised than its 41st Millennium counterpart. Where general options are listed but not found on the vehicle’s profile or within this book, or refer explicitly to the 41st Millennium (i.e., Commissar tanks), ignore those options:

>Baneblade, Banehammer, Stormlord, Shadowsword, Stormsword
>Macharius and variants (representing indigenous war machines)
>Crassus and variants (representing indigenous war machines)
>Marauder Bomber, Marauder Destroyer, Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter, Crusade Avenger Strike Fighter (see Mechanicum Taghmata army list)

IA vol. 1, pg. 118 talks about heavy tanks used by the Imperial Army during the Great Crusade and how the Admech searches for the plans for those tanks, lost in time. They found fragments of the blueprint and created the Macharius.

Also, the designs for the Crassus, which uses the Malcador hull, were found on former traitor forge world of Zhao-Arkkad.

There have been widely varying pictures in regards to this, with some depicting Marines in the area of 6'5" while others go up to 7'8". The only official number ever given is exactly 7ft average.

Technically a different situation. There was no "Sentinel mk2" with beefed up rules when 3rd edition rolled around. It was just a different looking sentinel.

I would have been okay with them using this opportunity to finally update the basic MEQ statline, but they're half-assing it in a real dumb way in a misguided attempt to placate people who have bought marine armies in the past ~19 years.

Chances are we'll see newmarine assault and devastator squads to go along with the newmarine tacticals. Newmarine captains and terminators too, though I desperately hope they just update the basic, fifteen year old tactical/assault terminator sculpts instead.

Well, that kind of happened a lot in the Great Crusade and nobody went rogue.

What >>53256126 said.

Key rules: It's 3 lines after the larger number (so VI, VII, VII or XI, XII, XIII) after which it's the next large number and a line before it (so IV and IX).

That's at least my rule of thumb. There's never four lines after (VIIII) or more than one line before (IIX).

>There's never four lines after (VIIII)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals
Roman inscriptions, especially in official contexts, sometimes use "additive" forms such as IIII and VIIII for "4" and "9" instead of (or even as well as) subtractive forms such as IV and IX. Both methods appear in documents from the Roman era, even within the same document.

So writing additive is fine, it's a good way to trigger wannabees.

Oops.

I generally avoid VIIII simply because it becomes hard to distinguish between VIII and VIIII without your eyes going funny.

I do like how relaxed ancient cultures were about uniformity in language and writing though, like how an Old English word used to just be spelt however you felt like spelling it at the time of writing.

Afriel strain were at least super soldiers. Numarines aren't even S5, just +1 wound.

Even the Heresy-era Chymerae were superior and that was just rogue legion apothecaries fucking about with geneseed in their spare time.

It was about 6 centuries after the transition from Old English to Middle English, and 2 from Middle English to Modern English, before Johnson's Dictionary brought any sort of standardised spelling into English.

Hey, I'm just doling out the painfully obvious.
Why would they release Mortarion with the Death Guard? Makes no sense whatsoever.
We already have Magnus.

Can someone clear this up:

Are these new marines fresh recruits or are they like veteran marines that have been enhanced?

They changed the game from RTS to not!MOBA, something not a single fucking fan has ever thought about, let alone ask for.

Too much emphasis on 'Heroes' to the point that regular units are literally just extra hp bars for my Champions.

A heavy bolter squad can't take down a unit of boyz charging across open field before it reaches them, but gabriel can do a backflip 360 no scope and kill them in less than 3 seconds.

They don't even pretend to try fitting the units power to the lore.

is it only me or are there other anons who don't like the idea of geneseed 2.0?

i mean space marines are already super soldiers.
now we have super-super soldiers?
