>>53256833
Not really, Primaris Marines are going to be featured in all chapters afaik. Plus what's the point in making spacemarines space marines if you're not gonna make them available to everyone equally? Also it's pretty ironic that the guy who wrote the Codex Astartes so no Primarch would have the same power that Horus had is at the head of the Imperium to begin with, getting new tech out of his ass as if it were candies.

>>53256850
We're not talking about best primarch, we're talking about marines themselves

>>53256621
Please. I'm will to bet even the Space Wolves of current Imperium would bend over backwards to suck Guilliman's dick.

It doesn't even matter which Primarch returned, I bet the number of chapters in all the Imperium who wouldn't line up to blow him could be counted on one hand.

>>53257189
Gullimans a okay primarch but his legion and chapter are mot the best
First of all they shouldn't be the standard marines their job is building the empire
Second off the amount of wanking and plit armor they got was outrageous(not as much as armless or space wolves tho)
Other than that they're a fine chapter and legion

As the politician/Empire Builder Primarch, he's the one the Imperium needed the most. Memes and /tg/ hate aside he was the most logical choice even disregarding the Ultramarine's poster boy symbol.

A primarch like Leman Russ returning would probably just result in him blowing a fuse and fucking things up even worse.

Just going over some hypotheticals, Gilly is the only real choice, followed by Dorn and the Lion, the Vulkan (cause he is bro) and the the Khan. He was the the last to show on Terra, he should be the last one back.

>Ah yes, fellow Lords of Terra. As it is we are currently stockpiled over 8 million next-generation space marines in stasis, ready to fight, ordered by primarch Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines almost 10k years ago. Our newest power armor model has been perfected and is ready to enter mass production as is our new bolter model. Both have given perfect scores in all test. Shall we issue them to the chapters of Adeptus astartes?
>No, halt that. On to the next issue, Ecchlessarch, your reports tell us that the rate we are losing loyal worlds is far outpacing our efforts to gain them...
Lords of Terra, not even once.

The Khan isn't an empire builder, but he is more of a symbol of Manifest Destiny than any of the others.

He was the far-ranger, the man that couldn't be contained by fuckin' anyone. He'd be a good symbol to get behind for an Imperium Resurgent.

Is going to be worse than the heresy. Girlyman is no Emperor. There is going to be a 3 way split between emperor loyalist, Girlyman traitors, primaris chaos. On top of every chapter fighting itself instead of groups joining a side.

As a chaos player it gives me so much joy to see an loyalist primarch bring the source of the imperium ending. Make no mistake, that's where this is heading.

I think most wont accept them. Space Wolves would outright reject them since they haven't been initiated by the trials on Fenris and shit. The Lion is probably active and awake by now and his untrusting nation would reject them outright - he even didnt trust Dark Angels that come from Terra rather than Calliban. Iron Hands would hate them.

I can see Imperial Fist accepting them, Blood Angels at a push and Salamanders to a degree.

Could someone please explain the Dark Angels to me? Meme-free?

>MOST LOYAL

I don't really get their angle? Is the idea that the Lion was actually a heretic and Luther was the loyalist and now modern DAngels are trying to cover that up?

They always seem to make a big deal about the Fallen, which seems stupid since very legion had some sect of traitors, and vice versa with traitor-legion loyalists. Also the Fallen make no sense to me because they seem to act in unison like the Alpha Legion even though some are actually loyal and some are unabashed Chaos worshippers.

I want to get more interested in the DAngels, since I like their secretive angle, their unique gear, and etc. but I really have no fucking clue what they're supposed to be about.

>>53259682
Nah, it's a bit of a meme. Theres a book where a fallen is being questioned and he basically says he is loyal whereas the new Dark Angels weren't anymore. Yet in a horus heresy book that came out a year or so later, that same fallen teamed up traitor space marines and caused a lot of shit. He was obviously lying about a lot and the book is suppose to make you question a lot.

The Fallen seem to be a mix of people completly loyal to the Lion and some that have completly fallen to Chaos. I have no idea how an organisation like this can function. All Dark Angels are obviously loyal to the Lion and the Emperor but they might not be completly loyal to the current modern Imperium, but the same can be said for half the chapters - including Space Wolves.

>>53257591
Jaghatai has always been boring.

ALWAYS.

>>53259907
Have fun with your crap opinion. I'm gonna enjoy my space Mongols.

>>53259682
Like the other anon said, it's a big mystery but one of the theories is that the Dark Angels of the present are descended from the marines 'exiled' to Caliban during the Great Crusade. (The Lion would basically send back people who gainsaid him ostensibly to be garrison and train new marines for the Legion.) The marines who joined Luther's rebellion changed their black armour to green, while the Lion's marines kept wearing black.

There's a chance that the Calabanite Dark Angels had a change of heart or realized they were on the losing side of history and turned their cloaks again. Now they're hunting the Fallen who were scattered through time by the Ouroboros, Tuchulcha, and the unnamed third Warp engine out of shame, guilt, and a desire to hide their past treachery from the greater Imperium. At the same time the Fallen are not a monolithic group with aligned goals, some were always loyalist, some are Chaos-tainted, some are just renegade, some have changed their minds in the intervening years, etc.

>>53259977
Fuck, I can add the far eastern thematics to the similarities of Khan&tau list too. It's pretty obvious at this point.

last night people talked about the new marines relegating the standard marine to a more guardsman position, with them being looked down upon by the guard for lack of basic skills like filling sandbags, and i quickly wrote this for my mate

The groundskeeper of the imperial barracks had always been big. most tought him a sanctioned mutant, like the ogryn, but less enthusiastic. he never talked, when he was alive. when they found him, wrinkled, old and small in the bed of his hut on the edge of the grounds, they found another thing. only one other thing in the hut. a set of Mark IV 'Heresy' space marine armour, in bright blue heraldry, and pristinely clean. no one could fathom how the groundskeeper had come across such a treasure, but most assumed his simple mind filled it's nights imagining an exciting life as one of the 'space marines' of mankind'

>>53259811
You are also forgetting in Prince of Crows, it shows Lion eager to get to Earth before Horus which proves Astelan was lying all along.

>>53259977
The chapters theme is not boring, it's just that nothing interesting is ever done with them.

So are they shipping primaris gene-seed out to chapters or are they sending dudes with the gene-seed already implanted to the chapters and indoctrinating them into their chapter culture?

>>53260404
the latter

>>53260495

Not completely out of keeping I suppose. When they turn over the zygotes of their gene-seed it'll be cycled into the chapters so new generations will be made with them as part of their regular recruiting process. Then again they don't go into detail about the time scale of all of this happening.

I can only begin to imagine the sexual tension between the Primaris marines and the 1st Company/Termies

>>53260590

>"You may have the fancy new gene-seed but you still have to do the right of passage for our chapter"
>Various lockers close and the 1st company veterans close in around the Primaris Marine towels held in adamantine grips...

>>53260536
That depends. We don't know anything yet on the creation process of these new marines.

They are fermenting inside of tube things, so I wonder if they've adopted some of the Blood Angels sarcophagus/coffin thing where they stick a neophyte in it with the genseed and let it just grow. No word yet on messy surgeries and whatnot.

Also, all of the Apothecaries would have to be re-trained from the ground up on the new Primaris marines.

So Space Marines got cucked out of a job?

Will there be Primaris super terminators?

>>53260645

Well this also comes with chapter re-organization right? Wasn't the idea to rebuild the chapters to legion strength? So on top of sending out dudes with the new gene-seed would also facilitate re-training and updating of the codex as well. Some chapters will be made of entirely of Primaris so they are ready to go off the bat so maybe these guys will come in and assist the partial and non-codex compliant marines as well.

>>53260645
Primaris apothecaries will sort that out, you old apothecaries just sit back and relax.

>>53260674
And Super dreadnaughts too somehow

>>53260645
I think the primaris are created in a similar way to the primarchs. they are probably grown in a lab from day one and were never a normal human.

>>53260975
Bet that won't have any nasty psychological side effects or anything.

>>53256831
>Not Alpha Legion
>But also possibly Alpha Legion

>>53259762
Blackies would probably accept them as long as they super duper love the Emperor like they do, don't have any psychic shit and probably if they go through whatever bullshit initiation they have.

>>53259495
>they haven't been initiated by the trials on Fenris and shit
that... cant be done anyway because Fenris is basically dead now, they are turning their nose at a chance at not going extinct over tradition

>>53260975
I'd assumed they were similar to the Raven Guard Talons before the taint, is this the case?

>>53259377
>No, we refuse to accept these abominations. Why did you think they would be improved by the addition of MORE flesh?
>These ones come with pre-installed toasters

The models are A+ and I want them but did they really have to make them super super marines? It's really dumb. They could have just had the plot development that they could make marines much faster and arm them with better tech.

The only way this works out in a way that doesn't impact the setting for the worse is it this because the thirteenth founding 2: electric boogaloo.

>>53258384

Someone once said when they saw the map they were picturing a Roman Empire split situation and I'm starting to believe it. Empire A being Gullyman's on the south side of the rift, Empire B being on the opposite side without Primaris. Probably not a literal civil war horus heresy style rebellion but more recalitrants refusing Gullyman's reign and him choosing to let such fairweathered friends fall off the vine rather than focus on them when there is chaos to fight. Given that's within Roboat's tradition of when the going gets tough the robot runs away.

>>53259682

Besides aforementioned mystery I figure Lion and his Dark Angel's sin being they were willing to wait and decide who would win. I don't think there's really any other chapter that pulls that team-stacking angle and it is a pretty major concept to leave blank. You've got a faction that entertained separatism rather than getting involved (ultramarines), hardcore loyalists, hardcore traitors, traitors forced by circumstance (Thousand Sons), so loyalists forced by circumstance or half-hearted loyalists is the missing theme.

>>53259377
Blood Angels for sure.

>>53261798

I think not. They welcome any geneson of the Angel, especially at a time when they're being overrun in several corners of the galaxy.

>>53259723

Sanguinius

>>53257588

He understood how to maintain control of a world, but he was ultimately disinterested in the concept of enlightenment. People need to distinguish empire from civilization. Empire is territory and government structure. Civilization is collective knowledge, culture, and institutions which form the pillars of a given people.

The models are ace, it's just you can't field them as true scale marines without explaining "No, these aren't primarines, my regular marines are just really tall!"

And god help you if you want to run both at once, do you need to make GiantMarines to differentiate, because you're using primarines for your regular marines?

>>53259377
TWO WORDS:

BLACK TEMPLARS.

Primaris Marines are agents sent by Guilliman to keep tabs on other chapters and spread ultramarine influence.
Guilliman desires his own empire and his father is in no state to oppose him.
Why is Cawl 10000 years old as a human, has unique regeneration abilities and could create new and better marines with primarch's gene seed in secret? Because he's using necron living metal parts in himself, after all tech priests always had affinity for a certain necron god.
That's the only explanation for his abilities, longevity and even ingame stats.
How can the primaris be created with the right gene seed for every chapter when many chapters have unknown origins or were possible loyalist groups of traitor legions? They simply can't be the right marines. They're all build up from only one gene seed, all Primaris are built in Guilliman's likehood.

Guilliman is a new villain and Cawl is his xenosloving accomplice, calling it now.

>>53262281
The models are amazing, the fluff is just retarded. Should have just been a redesign.

>Even if it is dealt with he's already succeeded, all that rad diversity is out the window
>Space marines but better!

>>53262594
You are supposed to run both at once. Primaris Marines AND regular tiny marines. Yes it is bullshit

>>53256621

I am completely fine with the direction of the 'plotline' of 40K right now.

I doubt the Emperor would have let the Gene-seed of the Space Marines stagnate for 10,000 years either. Girlyman did nothing wrong.

>>53262796

That's what makes it difficult to just use them as truescale marines. Because if you're using them as truescale marines, what are you going to run for your *actual* primarines, which you're also running?

>>53262594
>you can now experience the joy of truescaling primaris marines to fit with to your already enlarged marines

>>53262835

Do we actually know that they're bigger than regular marines in the fluff?

>>53261484
>that... cant be done anyway because Fenris is basically dead now
Stop spewing fake news, Magnus. Fenris got fucked over but the Wolf Spirit purged its Chaos taint and the civilian population that didn't get culled by Grey Knights is recovering.

Girlyman never does anything wrong.

>>53259682
In the veeeeeery beginning, their Dark Secret was that they had traitors during the Heresy. That was it.
In the years since then, everyone's gotten traitors, because thirty years of setting bloat will do that, so lots of gymnastics have been necessary to keep the 'terrible mysteriousness' of the dangles a thing.

I thought consorting with xenos and openly admiring is considered heresy.

>>53260706
We know that almost-destroyed chapters are going to be rebuilt with these; that might be the extent of 'chapter re-organization'. We haven't heard anything one way or the other about Legion-building or codex-changing or any of that stuff.
Though, I personally like the idea of the new materials being integrated smoothly into the existing genetic material, as a metaphor of the slow drift to truescale marines over the next few years.

As a beta Raven Guard player, I for one welcome the Ultramarines into my chapter.

Sure, the are not the blood of Corax and have never been or learned the ways of the Legion/Chapter on Deliverance, but the are way bigger and more badass then us. Thank you Master Robute. May you continue to outshine the Emperor with your sexy Xeno-wife.

>>53261684
It might also be a bit of a thematic split.
On side A you get your Heroic Crusade against the Dark Forces, with the occasional friendly alliance with Xenos who you hope aren't trying to kill you. (That 'Sigmar-esque' stuff that everyone's afraid of).
But on the other side of the rift, you get good ol-fashioned Grimdark Slugfests, where everyone's killing everyone and every battle is desperate as fuck.

Even GW says exactly that, he was the bureaucrat after all, all the others would have gone off fighting shit until they died for nothing in the long term. Meanwhile, Guiliboy used his ace up his sleeve and suddenly Primarines are everywhere kicking shit.

>>53262972
Alpharius and Omegon were a head larger than their terminators (keeping in mind that AL marines are fuckhueg) but they were obviously Primarchlets. Guilliman's new model is the size of a dreadnought.

So no.

>>53261484
Well if nothing else maybe this will be a chance to have wolves that actually kinda look like vikings.

New Guilliman is practically in a ultra-modernized dreadnought.

So whose Primaris marines are going to fall to chaos first? Will it be DA or SW?

Which God will claim their souls? Breeding another race of better super soldiers seems like Khornes the winner here.

>>53263296
I hope it's ultramarines. Bobby should reap what he has sown.

>>53263327
Na I think they'll give it to someone else to force a split among the Imperium. Some chapter will treat the mainres like shit so they'll fall.

GW will probably shit on the Iron Hands, Raven Guard or one of the neglected Chapters. Then be all like "But you wanted us to include you in the fluff more...here you go now, you are dickbags now."

*Picks ass with The Khan's spear*

>>53263417
Raven Guard would actually be interesting with their Primarchs meddling with this all before. Wouldnt be surprised if they reject the Primaris marines outright. Forgot about them Unsurprisingly.

>>53263372
I just kind of want them to explode in mutations or die of old age or something. Half as long, twice as bright. It would provide actually interesting interaction between them and their respective chapters and would make them a little more special in the good way rather than just 'my OC marines are like marines but better', perhaps even rare. Humanity pushes it's enemies back but just before they can savoir their victory it starts happening. If it is handled that way it would create some interesting plot dyanmics but I really don't think it is going to go that way. It just kind of makes me happy the FFG are dead so I don't get called a mega-autist for ignoring them.

>>53263440
DA's reaction would be interesting to see in fluff, especially now that Guillyboy have some imprisoned fallen. They might view the nu-marines as spies.

>>53263478
>Half as long, twice as bright
This. I'm hoping the fluff is good I mean we only got a preview but I am weary. Still as you say there are interesting places it could go.

>>53263891
MKIII is specialized. It's super heavily armored on the front, but more vulnerable in the back and is really heavy. Like, too heavy to use jump packs properly heavy. It's more a variant of the MKII designed specifically for boarding actions and confined spaces, probably before they really had terminators for that.

It's still quite serviceable in that role, and outside of that role it's still power armor.

But it is. If you look at the leg armour, it's got solid plates on the front and segmented plates on the back. And the knee pads are very similar to the ones on the GW Master of the Chapter in MkIII armour. The suit is based on 30k era suits as per the fluff.

They're still made with the respective chapter's appropriate geneseed and even the Space Wolves revere Guilliman as basically a living god. The Primarchs are legendary beings, even more so in M41.(M42?)

>>53264107

Bangels have always been borderline khornates anyway with things like fleshtearers being even worse.

that's just in line with people who wanted Marines to be more representative of their Fluff though.

>>53264331
I am really dissapointed in GW's direction of thinking. If you want to make marines look cool, you should give more focus to Imperial Guard, Arbites, Rogue traders only to show how absolutely beaslty Marines are in comparisson. When you focus on marines all the time they start to look bland, and people start saying shit like "he is just a basic terminator, nothing special about him".

Making Bigger Better Marines looks like a child's thing. You know, when kids are boasting over something and just keep comming up with shit to make it look even cooler until it becomes ridiculous? Yeah, same thing here.

>Custodes aren't marines. They're another thing entirely.
Not that anon but I can confirm, when I was first reading about the custards I just mentally classified them as royal guard level space marines.

>>53256621
What's interesting is that, since they are made with appropriate Primarch geneseed, that means Guilliman managed to create Space Wolves without using Fenrisians.

Would be fun, purely for fluff reasons, to run a army with Primaris being closely monitored by the existing Space Wolves. Such that they could be put down fast in case of uncontrollable behaviour. Would be in line with their fluff too.

Same with Blood Angels. Astorath has his work cut out for him

>>53264387

Stupid fucks, you should have just made them instant marines or something, restoration of implementation procedure and good stuff from Mars itself. Why the fuck they decided with bigger, faster & stronger is beyond me.

>>53264482
I only want Sangunius back so I can paint him. But I agree it's best he remains dead. But with 8th I really hope the Sanguinor receives a massive buff (and new model) What we had in 7th was lacking big time.

Also want Mephiston to get an Invuln save, or at least FNP.

>>53264532
Hell they could have just had it be a new type of armour with some new guns and nothing else. That way they could still make updated versions of their classic characters and people wouldn't feel like "their dudes" are being replaced, just getting shiny new toys

100% agree

The models look great, but the fulff is fucking atrocious. Perhaps it's autistic to nerdrage about this, but I hope once the fluff settles as to what a "primaris marine" is it just turns out to be a better procedure and that they aren't really that much bigger; the rules they gave out doesn't seem to agree with that though.

Nigga, let me clarify. Sure the imperium is fucked, new warp rift and all, but this right here is some lazy righting with Guilliman all of a sudden pulling 2.0 Marines out of his ass. Why the fuck didn’t the emps made them like this in the first place? Like I said previously, they should have made them instant growth marines (like when the Legions found their primarch and boomed in numbers due to the stabilization and what not involved). Making 2.0 marines and coupling them with new rules that make them better is shitty writing and an obvious business move at play (and I can imagine the 30k crowd to be a bit pissed about it).

I’m a grown ass man talking about how I don’t like the justification for a new type miniature in a fictional setting on a mandarin basket weaving board, so take that as you will. And I ain’t black either, nigga.

>>53264674
yeah they don't consume the tithes except to start new chapters which is very very rare so they should have a massive stockpile

>>53264684

>>53264782
Numarines can be made from any geneseed, including that which the Lamenters would have previously tithed.

>>53264782
According to the article, they are made from the geneseed of the appropriate Primarch.

>>53264755
The Mechanicus has had 10,000 years to create this. Thanks to the geneseed tithe they have plenty to work with. If anything it wouldn't have taken this long just to make superior space marines.

Solely because he didn't want to. It's been established that he had the ability to make super marines all along. He gave the secret to Corax but the Alpha Legion sabotaged and stole it before he could make more than a handful.

The Space Marines conquered the galaxy during the Great Crusade just fine. There was no need to make them stronger. and it would have made them harder to dispose with after their job was done, like he did with the Thunder Warriors

>>53264668

(Of course, the argument can be made that declaring the truescale marines to just be a new Special Forces unit was equally counterproductive...)

of all the things the Imperium struck me as, it never struck me as a Democracy. Militarily, all Chapter Masters are outranked by Roboute, and with him as the person who created the rules and regulations of the Chapters, he is the one who can change and lift these restrictions if necessary.

On that note, is there any news if Roboute lifted the limitations on Fleet and Chapter sizes? I'd love to see a return of unrestricted Naval Chapters, integration of Marine Units with Naval Forces and so on.

>>53258309
THIS. Its the most fucking idiotic stuff off all this. Cawl, being a master genetor / armorer / relichunter / fuking EVERYTHING basically one-upped the EMPEROR.

Yes, he had 10k years to do so but why it needs to be just ONE FUCKING TECHPRIEST? (answer: gotta sell the model, no no-model characters can ever be important anymore after Chapterhouse)

>>53265231
Not yet we have to wait for more info or the books when they release. Logically he would lift the limits since everyone is invading the Imperium right now. The Primaris Marines use 30k tactics and organization, so I would presume he would move towards Legion strength.

>>53265030
Indeed, people aren't stupid they see these new models are going to replace the old ones. And since they're now separate entities in lore it makes that even worse since now the army you've grown to know and love over your years of collecting has been replaced in universe by Bobby G's boys.

If the NuMarines had just been a new type of armour with better equipment we wouldn't be having this problem, since "your dudes" could just be hooked up with new suits and it'd be business as usual.

Why nu-GW is not giving us any kind of timescales for events? Previously everything had a date and such and one could wonderfully see stuff happening. Now it is only vague mentions of "months" or so.

Where is the timeline? Without any kind of knowledge of the time, everything begins to even more feel like lazy asspulls. And it would not be even that difficult dammit

>>53265235
It helps when youre a cyborg whose lived for 10k years. Plus how do you know he hasn't had any help from the rest of the Mechanicus? Making supersoldiers isn't that hard for other universes now is it? The Old Age of Strife Humanity could probably do it easily.

>>53265162
What did it retcon and why is it dumb? The Astartes were strong enough for their designated purpose (conquer the galaxy) If they were stronger they'd be harder to manage. Look what happened when regular Astartes turned rogue. Why would he want to risk that with even tougher marines?

>>53265317
Cawl pattern boltrifles actually make the boltgun look slightly more realistic for once.

>>53265330
Marines weren't even supposed to be able to go rogue, but some were faulty.

>>53265235
>fuking EVERYTHING basically one-upped the EMPEROR.
You fucking retard. IT'S CANON THAT THE EMPEROR COULD HAVE MADE HIS MARINES STRONGER. Nobody is one-upping him. Read the fluff before you autistically screech.

>>53265347
It even has bolt handle aligned with barrel.

>>53265235
To be fair, it took him 10k years to improve on the design. Its not done from scratch.

Armour design has changed, so that's not a problem in and of itself.

As for geneseed, the only thing he appears to have done was make the process more stable while being faster. Which Corax did as well, before the Alpha Legion fucked with his work. There is precedent there, though Corax got the notes on the process straight from the Emperor.

>What did it retcon and why is it dumb?
Went from a "formula/technique that has a ton of inherent risks but makes regular space marines extremely fast" to "magical extra super duper marine formula with no risks at all"

>His Legion shattered, Corax returned to Deliverance with Orders to rebuild it as quickly as possible. It was a bleak time for the Primarch of the Raven Guard; the Imperium was teetering on the brink of collapse and desperately needed brave warriors, but he had none to give. A desperate situation called for desperate measures and Corax locked himself within the shadowed Chambers of the Ravenspire's Librarius to pour over volumes of forgotten lore in search of a solution. His researches led him back to the earliest days of genetic manipulation, when accelerated zygote harvesting techniques were used to create the first enhanced warriors with which the Emperor had long ago pacified Holy Terra. Corax realised that this process could be modified to produce full-grown Space Marines at a frightening rate. But the ancient tomes also warned of the terrible dangers involved and the unspeakable monsters that could result and, though he knew he risked destroying his Legion, he reluctantly ordered the Apothecaries to begin the process.

Deliverance lost was fucking terrible. They just had to bring in power level shit.

>>53265497

What he said

And perhaps most excitingly, Guilliman has founded some entirely new Chapters out of these new Space Marines.

>>53264895
He could have made an army of Custodes too.

He didn't because time versus effectiveness. Space Marines did what they needed to do, he didn't NEED to go Primaris, so he didn't waste the time. He handed it over to Corax because Corax had the time and NEED.

So when will Girlyman make a "Let the galaxy burn... again" speech?

No, our Lord and Liege Ultraman will make them integrate into other Chapters.

>>53265726

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.

>>53265733
Just like legions did when they encountered recruits from primarch's world.

>>53265740
>Minotaur missions
you do realize guilliman's technically one of the high lords again, right

>>53265723
Never, because that would mean the end of main GW approved faction. Imperium is barely holding as it is, Rift splitting it in half, and now a civil war? That would be a colossal end.

>>53265733
Space Marines take in new recruits all the time. The Primaris even have their geneseed.

>>53265739

Many Chapter Masters have welcomed their Primaris brethren into their ranks, accepting the new reinforcements gladly. Others, though, view these new creations with suspicion or outright hostility, claiming that the Emperor’s work should not have been meddled with.

Every Chapter is different. Personally I look forward to using Primaris Marines alongside my Stormtroopers.

>instead of forcing everyone to adopt the primaris Mars provide the updated procedure of marine creation to whoever desires.
>every chapter sooner or later accept such procedures and stops producing regular marines, since the new one are like the old ones, just a bit better
>it still uses regular geneseed

Was it so hard?

>>53265747
Coming from a Primarch's world is a bonus though. This is seen as such even IRL among cultures that place importance on hometowns and shit.

>>53265756
Yes, but new recruits have no distinguishing characteristics. They're also new.
These guys start at level 100 right off the bat and make everyone, Chapter command included, look like babies. They also can't fit inside vehicles.

My Chapter Master is a Terran Puritanian, who's been in Stasis ever since Guilliman has been, only to be woken at times of greatest need.

He doesn't like those new marines either.

Who needs the marinelets when we have the real men in the Imperial Guard.

>>53263119
They'll be wulfenmarines friendo. 75% certain on that,

Wrong. Theyre the first incarnation of gene modded warriors. Also the best. Thats canon my man.
Everything after was production line shit instead of a tidy custom job.

Arn't you a little short for a Space Marine?

>>53265970
As much as I found this hilarious, this actually gave me feels.

>>53265974
They could be an amorphous mass of kittens inside that armour for all I care, they look like marines, they act like marines so they might as well be Marines.

>>53265866
I love BA but at least something is happening. Bet the Silent King saves the day for his bumboys.

>>53265994
This I think is one of the worst parts about the NuMarines, they've done nothing of substance to earn our love and admiration, GW just expects us to like them because they're new and shiny.
Meanwhile they're pushing out the guys we actually care about making them seem even more antagonistic and making the old guys even more sympathetic.

This just gave me an idea. Wouldn't Marinelets make excellent farmers?

Jesus Christ they've had no fluff written about them yet. They haven't even been released. They will do cool shit.

>>53266017
Well their weapons are outdated now, I'm sure a chainsword would till the dirt just fine.

What if new marines are literally retarded? Like handsome Ogryns.

>>53266021
The armour makes the marine, besides Orks don't act or look like marines even without the armour.

>>53266038
but the new and better marines could make use of their Chainswords. For cutting open congratulatory letters and stuff.

CHAPTERS THAT WONT ACCEPT THE NEW MARINES, GO!

First and obvious, Black Templars

>>53266033
Anything they do will inevitably seem forced and hamfisted because they haven't been around for over 3 decades in real life.

>>53266056
>Old marines Scurrying about trying not to get stepped on by their bigger, newer brothers

>>53266058
Arn't most of them dead now? Why wouldn't they accept?

>>53266033
I think we all agree it'd be better if it simply was new armor type, maybe additional operation marine goes through to become "NuMarine". Then you could easily have Your Dudes hop into new models and still feel like Your Dudes.

Instead we have New Trumps Old, which is just heartbreaking.
