>>53278598
thats something gw doesnt like to talk about but its easy to explain away with implants in the eye to give a HUD

whatever smartass I was just telling you because, you know, a thread is about having a conversation.

the new bolt rifles are larger bolters for primaris marines with a different profile. normal marines still use their (smaller) bolters.

More likely they will be EMPIRed.

>>53277862
That is super adorable, and I kind of wish that was the new fluff. You could even still have them be super well-trained - just have it be so instinctive they don't have practical experience, and are curious and naive when not in combat.

Someone needs to let GW know about this. Not that they particularly seem to care about lore anyways.

>>53283627
We don't need to find ways for marines to ignore more mechanics in game, anon.
According to the lore, shit like night fighting and shrouding should be automatically ignored by marines and sisters due to the optics in their helmets.

>>53279008
its not that different. its a boltgun that is loaded with kraken penetrators as standard.

I bet that they will have parts interchangeable with the Custodes since they look to be the same hight and, just like the Custodes, can fit a normal marine head/shoulder pads. I picked up a Prospero box today and am gonna set the golden boys aside to see if I can maybe use their legs along with some DA bits to make a chapter master. A tall-as-fuck guy in robes with a feathered helmet seems rad.

>>53286151

>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.

Looking more at the OP image in willing to bet the actually bits will be assembled the same way, with the inside of the torso being hollow and whatnot. Even the marines in the pic have those optional hip pads like the golden boys. Some of them don't have them, some do.

Well, the storm bolter and "heavy bolter" are labeled as Lastrum Storm Bolter and Bolt Cannon. Though they both have a special rule, where as the guardian and paragon spear bolters, and the Adrastus bolt caliver's bolter are not named (Adrastus refers to the disintegration beam technology). I'm guessing they're specialized patterns devised on Terra by some techno-gang, like the Lastrum. Too rare and expensive for mass production.

>>53289428
>Emperor made them from scratch in his basement

Except the part where he was assisted by the finest scientists of Terra to design the Geneseed implantation process and worked with the Cult Mechanicus to refine some of their gear, but let's not dwell on those little details.

>>53297988
Cawl pretty strictly does specialise in biology, even if it's not directly stated. When he was first introduced back during Gathering Storm and in the promotional material his legacy was said to be 'the remnants of thousands of genetic and biologis experiments', on top of his two primary objectives being A: Building a life-supporting suit of power armour for a Primarch and B: Refining the geneseed process.

Ok there are officially too damn many versions of bigger, more-muhreen-than-regular-muhreen marines now.

>>53277244

The simple fix to the primaris problem: creating a primaris marine requires two progenoids instead of one. It also blends the life experience of the marines the progenoids were matured in -- for instance, two progenoids from two different chapters might create a primaris with an incredible depth of genetic combat experience. The cost is that it requires effectively an entire regular marine's genetic potential to create a primaris, thus causing them to be of low numbers and also encouraging you to keep "vanilla" marines around to mature the excess geneseed needed.

but meh, 40k is already non-logic central so might as well go full rule of cool. now I make all of my characters have no helmets so it's easier to pick them out in the squad. gives the army some character (fuck puns but lack of a better word) instead of just having a sea of mooks. feels more personal and interesting IMO

I really don't get it. Aside from the bolt rifles, the only difference between them and the regular ones is the size. What's the point? I know it's to make money, but... really? Is this all it takes? They literally didn't have to do anything, just upscale the models by 20% and copy+paste the origin of the old space marines while replacing "Emperor" with "Guiliman". And it works? Are GW actually this good at making money?

>batshit OP

where? in 7th? whoa a month of small model count in an MSU edition, sounds overpowered.

and nobody knows what will be OP (if anything) in 8th. people insist on making retarded speculations about an edition that hasn't been revealed based on their presumptions and tidbits of released information, but that is retarded. one small change to a number, tweak to a mechanic, is the difference between broken and balanced. so it's 100% a waste of time to speculate on power levels until you actually see the dang game.

>>53313951

As it should be... though to be serious, most HHG fans don't care about them, aside from the fact that they've been the 40K waac-fag's Horus Heresy army of choice.

>>53314376
>And it works? Are GW actually this good at making money?

Well they've been the top dog for decades so they're doing something right. To me it's the most boring shit ever, it's like a satire of everything retarded about consumerism. We gave you THING, and now, wait for it, BIGGER THING. It's BIGGER so it's BETTER, don't you like BIG and EXPLOSIONS?! It's the laziest shit ever. There are so many interesting ways to go with this IP but they just make . . . bigger marines.

That said I don't really care. Doesn't effect me much beyond having to shoot at them on the table, and I doubt even GW is cancerous enough to squat the golden goose of their game, space marines. If space marines went the way of the dodo that would basically throw the entire history of 40k into the trash. Space marines? Haha, that's old hat, who cares about the last 10k years, now it's all about primaris. I don't think they are going to pull this madman move because it would be worse than what they did to WHFB.

But then again, they just might be crazy enough . . .

that's market research, and supply and demand.

I really don't get it - I know there's a lot of fluff attached, but I legitimately can't see these guys as anything other than 'larger Space Marines.' I'm sure it'll look impressive on the tabletop, but I otherwise can't see why GW was thinking this would stand out and make people want to buy them. This is not something that will look awesome in an advertisement. Granted, I like that they aren't disgustingly ornate like some recent models, but they also don't look any more special than a squad of Sternguard Veterans - they literally look like bogstandard marines, but bigger and with skirt-plates and longer guns.

To me, part of the foundational message of 40k has always been the futility of war and the idea that there are no real heroes left in man. In fluff i have ott mydoods(r) faggotry on par with the best of gw, but that's all pomp and propaganda. On the tabletop, the gritty reality is they're all just grist for a grimdark, galaxy-spanning meat grinder. Having them all be faceless reinforces that.

Yes, it's mostly about being Robustly Heterosexual and mashing together dune, foundation, and mad max. But there's some real shit in there too, and that's important to me.

I really don't get the autistic screeching over the nu-marines. The models were starting to look aged and GW gave anyone who plays marines a way of still having a mixed army of the new and old models, we don't know how they're going to stack up mathematically versus regular marines so meh.

Also, closer to fluff, true-scale marines is a good thing in my opinion.

These guys have a few extra genetic enhancements, thanks to Belisarius Cawl, and serve as additional reinforcements in the Adeptus Astartes arsenal, not replacements.

You could argue that they're lying but the fact that this even exists on their website shows they know there will be backlash if normie marines are replaced. It would be a full suicide move and cause plenty of people to ditch this game that has jumped a whole Sea World full of sharks already. I would myself.

I don't think they will do it. But there is a small [nervous feeling] in the back of my mind that says GW really is this cancerous.

>>53315147
They aren't replacing normal squat marines dummy. Also if they just wanted to make marines truescale, they could just release a new marine kit that was bigger. There's no reason to go through the trouble of pretending primaris marines won't replace space marines if they will, people who would dislike it would still dislike it. Primaris marines are literally just a special unit type. Space marines are not becoming truescale.

They don't seem to look all that similar to me.

The only similarity I really see is the pauldrons, but I thought those were required for anything to be considered "power armor" nowadays.

They might still be suits of power armor, but their design and aesthetics are different. Terran Marines have more of a futuristic-military feel to them, sort of like Starship Troopers. Space Marines have more of a Medieval Crusader aesthetic to them.

>>53315099
1. They've literally stated that isn't the case, no matter how hard you fucking autists bitch and moan
2. AoS takes place aeons after warhammer fantasy in a very different setting and thematically the stormcasts are nothing like the empire. primaris marines are being introduced into 40k just a few moments after the original static timeline and are just slightly different from regular marines

They're lying through their fucking teeth. GW know their fanbase all too well. They'll phase out marinelets themselves. In a couple of years at most the autistic agitation over players using old marines will reach such unbearable levels that those who refuse to 'upgrade' will either ditch their army or cave in and recollect their entire force. GW don't have to do shit, they can even wash their hands of the whole thing.

Here is the point, most of non-Ultra Chapters are trapped in Dark Imperium, some of them soon will be rekt (White Scars and Blood Angels) totally, while Primaris Marines (who created and trained by Guilliman) remains fighting to protect the rest of Imperium.

>>53318323
Part of me just wishes that they'd not bothered with the Primaris shit and just said "Marines are truescale now, fuckers". It'd avoid the shoehorny feel of it all, and basically have the same outcome, if GW is actually planning on making Primaris Marines the new Marine standard.

To be fair, pretty sure if you have and RT-era space marine figs, they're still tabletop legal.

It smacks of awkward corporate back-room debate. They wanted truescale, but knew people would be pissed if they just ripped off the bandage and declared all marines would be truescale from now on, and then you probably had different people in the back taking different sides on how to handle it, so you end up with a typical awkward corporate compromise - it works, kinda, but isn't really the best way to achieve any of their goals.

If regular Marines can be upgraded into Primaris', and Nu-Emperor Roboute is giving Chapters the ability to make their own Primaris', then surely the goal has to be, just for pragmatic reasons, to phase out regular Astartes in favour of their superior replacements?

We don't know what it actually takes to go from Space Marine to Space Marine Space Marine, so it's hard to say if it's even feasible to make it standard upgrade. Pure, "it's better" doesn't cut it, because the existence of Marines has not removed the need for Guard.

>Also why is the Bolt Rifle not being made the common sidearm of regular Astartes too?

I mean, I know better then to ask why Caul didn't push the button sooner - this seems like the kind of thing that you really don't want the High Lords to see you doing unless you literally have a Primarch on your side.
But...how many people in the Imperium are ten thousand years old? I know at some point in the fluff, there were certain dreadnoughts that were the 'oldest people alive' or something, but then I also thought the Custodes were the same Custodes for the entirety of the Imperium. And then, apparently enough implants will keep you going the whole time. Which humans are just fucking immortal? Any other than Cawl?

That's my biggest problem with theplastic Custodes. They had the potential to be awesome, but GW chose not to give them their glorious capes as standard, and made their pauldrons stick out a lot, so they came out looking really top-heavy. There's a mini-cape for the squad leader, but it's easy to miss from a front-on perspective.

The Sagittarum Guard that that guy posted just make it even more blatant, since they have those enormous combi-weapons.

I don't actually mind the look of the Nu-Marines, even though I wish they'd not been coy and outright said they were true-scaling the range... but fuck, the Mk X armour feels like they put barely any effort into it.

>>53320187
Well, from a lore point of view the mk4 helmet is supposedly the most advanced one. Makes sense to try and keep it.
And the 5r armor is fine imo. It fits in the middle of others, while being noticeable different.

>>53319497
In the QnA yesterday they said normal Marines can get upgraded to Primaris. Also, either way, doesn't change that if Roboute's givin the Chapters the ability to make Primaris then they should make all new recruits Primaris and inevitably the old Astartes should die out.

Also Guard are irrelevant, when was the last time they ever won anything? Marines always win the battles, Guard just die to make Marines look cooler. Primaris are the same but even better. The interview on Warhammer TV yesterday even said they're more resistant to Chaos.

I highly doubt the Bolt Rifle's too heavy for a Space Marine to use.

>>53320350
>they said normal Marines can get upgraded to Primaris.

I know they did. But did they say how easy that transformation is?

>doesn't change that if Roboute's givin the Chapters the ability to make Primaris

Again, how easy it is. You're already spending 10 years to implant organs. Depending on how time and resource consuming it is to make a Primaris, it might not be worth it for large scale production.

You might as well ask why every space marine isn't a Grey Knight armed with a combi-storm bolter packing sternguard ammo. That's better than a mook space marine, is it not?

>Guard are irrelevant

I'd like to see individual space marines defending/conquering entire planets on their own.

>I highly doubt the Bolt Rifle's too heavy for a Space Marine to use.

The M1 Thompson is not too heavy for human use either, yet still the M3 Grease Gun was found to be far more favorable by troops.

>>53320424
>I'd like to see individual space marines defending/conquering entire planets on their own.
They do that in the background fluff a lot. Like one Blood Angel Company liberats I think they say like five whole systems from Orks and stuff.

That's pretty standard.

Bolt Rifle is just better than Bolter. This is 40k. The Bolt Rifle is literally simply stated to be better in all regards than the Bolter, see no reason not to upgrade regular Marines to using it.

>>53320424
Dude Marines have always been established that in the fluff a single squad can conquer an entire planet. You got stuff like Cryptus where Billions of Guards and Sisters and Navy ships all lose horribly to nids but then like 400 Marines rock up and fight better than them.

I said one (1) Marine. Because 1,000,000 marines and 1,000,000 worlds means there's 1 space marine for each world in the Imperium (as stated in 5e SM codex). And that does not include patrolling the vast stretches of space.

Who would buy regular marines though?
Primaris look better, are better kits (because newer), are better in the game and better in the fluff.. why would anyone new to 40k and starting a space marine army go for regular marines when he can use the new giants?

>>53320424
I like your post, like really from the bottom to top, we agree on everything...except...the reason the Bureau of Ordinance adopted the M3 was because cheap stamped metal subguns were the style of the day. The Thompson is, from the standpoint of the individual soldier, a better weapon by every metric besides weight. More reliable, more accurate, and a higher rate of fire at I think 700rpm compared to ~400 for the M3.

HOWEVER from the standpoint of the BofO the Grease Gun is a better weapon than the Thompson. The M3 is made of stamped steel parts, much cheaper than the milled components of the Thompson. Also due to the stamped parts, they were far easier to manufacture in volume (which is what you want in a war of attrition) while a Thompson essentially has to be hand-fitted.

I'm a submachine gun nerd sorry, even /k/ doesn't have much time for subguns anymore since this whole short-barreled rifle thing took off...

Two reasons.

The first is that the Space Marine is the default. It's what GeeDubs will hand you when you walk into the store and it's what the rest of the game uses as a baseline. They're called MEQ's for a reason.

The second is that Primaris Marines are point expensive and tactically rigid. I can imagine that having a full squad of them with anything but bolters is going to eat up points REALLY fast. That may be attractive to new players on a budget but realistically sometimes you need less expensive generic marines with a lascannon thrown in.

Tyrannids, IG, and any other high number army will crush an all Primaris army in sheer numbers since you can only shoot so many conscripts per turn if you only packed the bare minimum.

It's a converted Cataphractii terminator with the chainfist replaced by a chainglaive.

>>53320544
>So is the storm bolter.
No it isn't, it jams due to only having one ejector port and two barrels.

>>53320544
>>53321024
What even is the point of a storm bolter? Why have two barrels?

>>53321046
Why, for moar dakka of course.

Will these SM shoulders fit on the primaris?

>>53320956
>a better weapon by every metric besides weight

And size. You basically have a gun the size and weight of a rifle with the firepower of a full-auto M1911. Seeing that 99% of the time the weapon is being carried/stowed away, what do you think the individual soldier cares more about? They're not there thinking about their groupings and shit.

>>53321024
So why do Grey Knights, Terminators, veterans and sergeants, Sisters, and every Imperial vehicle imaginable use them?

>>53321090
The computer says "no."

GW says "yes."

>>53314841
Lmao you retards are so fun to read

>>53314986
Btw you know both Starcraft and Warcraft are literally a ripoffs of 40k right?

>>53320158
Can't argue about the shoulders but the cape thing is understandable. You'd say that if Custodes are being depolyed in the middle of a warzone in hostile Prospero they're not going to go into battle with their tunics and capes on.

To be fair, honestly, the art I've seen makes them way more futuristic and shit. Look at the art of the primaris marines in their chambers. Just bright neon glow. You'd expect 40k chambers to look like a big brass barrel with levers and wheels and shit. Nope, smooth clean techno armour and neon lights.

>>53321494
I think thats just them not wanting to put too much detail into the background art.

>>53321501
Could have just had dark chambers with some lights and have the closeup shot be of a dark chamber with a window on the side of it showing that there's someone inside.

>>53321494
It's just a room full of blue tubes, how can you tell anything from it?

The whole video it's from has a bunch of barely drawn pictures, in fact I think I can count the number of actual images out of this whole new plotline on one finger, seems more likely that GeeDubs just didn't feel like making a complicated image and let the artist do whatever.

>So here's the dudes we want you to put in, then just draw a bunch of test tubes or some shit

>How should the room look?

>Who cares, they're going to look at it for five seconds, what kind of autistic weirdo is going to look at it that hard.

>>53321545
>It's just a room full of blue tubes, how can you tell anything from it?

Well, I can tell that they're glowing neon blue and in the closeup shots you can see that they're see through, glass or something, as is typical of 40k design.

>>53321494
>>53321545
There's a deliberate juxtaposition between the clean advanced Primaris Chamber and the tangled ruin of Mars' surface.

so i want to restart my blood angels army with the death company box, will they eventually completely replace the line? will it be worthless for me to buy the company box? pls help

Do you like the models enough to buy them?

That's because the pictures of Mars were for codex's and rulebooks so they had hours and hours poured into them.

That picture was meant to be looked at for five seconds in a youtube video.

It's not a conspiracy or some shit, they just put in the least effort possible on a picture that was only supposed to convey a single thing: something is in some tubes.

>>53321621
I know, and that's sort of my point. This ain't yo daddy's old and busted muhreenz, these are new, cooler propa spes muhreenz!

Also, looking at, say, 30k range of Mechanicum shit, when they had their things in order, it's almost steampunk in aesthetics with big clanky rowbutts and tanks that look like they drove off the assembly line half-finished.

>>53321629
yes, but I'm against buying something that will be replaced and made inferior in a short period of time because I've been tricked by the GW jew before

>>53321635
>That's because the pictures of Mars were for codex's and rulebooks

No, it's in the same video style.

>>53321642
Frankly if you buy models for game rules then you're a retard.
I you like the models sufficiently then buy them, if you don't then don't.

>>53321656
I'm not saying I buy them for the rules, I'm saying I don't want to buy them and then find out they are being replaced by nu-marines so they become display models

i want to use my death company

>>53321677
>I'm not saying I buy them for the rules
>I'm only buying them for the rules!

But no, GW are not going to forbid you from using your GW models.

>>53321695
holy shit you are a real autist

i mean i know its /tg/ but dam son tone down the autismo

>>53321717
Oh, I'm the autist because I think intangible possible future game rules aren't worth paying for and you should just buy models you like.
Okay.

>>53318489
Implying the Primarius marines don't sweep in and save the Blood Angels in the nick of time.

>>53321214
Granted. M3 has portability. It's compact size makes it a better platform for tankers, paratroopers, and rear echelon dudes who need to defend their supply trucks.

Yes hauling around a heavier weapon sucks. Yes the Thompson was heavy, and troops did love the Grease Gun because of it's portability and light weight. I'm not contesting either of those things. Weight isn't a pure downside though. A heavier weapon will help counteract muzzle rise ( to an extent ) and allow a more accurate burst of sustained fire. This is a good thing because contrary to your claim, yes, soldiers actually do care about "their groupings and shit". It's kind of hard to kill the enemy without actually shooting them, ya know?

From a logistics standpoint the M3 far and away beats the Thompson. It's simple and cheap, it won't explode in your hands and it can be cranked out by the tens of thousands, the perfect weapon for a war of attrition, or heavy urban combat. That's a big deal. Logistics wins wars. I'm not downing the Grease Gun by any means. But I find it telling that Tommies preferred the M1 even when the STEN, a stamped metal weapon in the vein of the M3, was more available. It might be because of the larger caliber, or it might be because of some of the reasons I've listed.

My experience IRL with actual full auto submachineguns is limited to a few mags from a Colt 9mm SMG so I am kinda talking out of my ass, but I'd imagine certain things remain constant ya know?

Are Primaris Marines really taller than baseline Astartes? How do they stack up against custodes combat wise?

>>53322140
>Are Primaris Marines really taller than baseline Astartes?

Yes.

>How do they stack up against custodes combat wise?

They're worse, but we've only seen the bolter guys so far.

Because they aren't that much stronger than regular marines. They are considered the next step up, their models are just more appropriately scaled but fluff wise they aren't that much taller than current marines.

>>53321024
Jamming was more of a problem with combi-bolters than storm bolters, hence why storm bolters are now the Imperial standard.

>>53321487
Just like how Dark Angels wouldn't go wearing those robes into battle.

Seriously though, you're expecting too much rationality from someone living in the 40K setting there.

>>53321501
Yeah. The artwork for those cinematic teasers is clearly done as fast as the artist(s) can manage.

>>53321781
>This is a good thing because contrary to your claim, yes, soldiers actually do care about "their groupings and shit". It's kind of hard to kill the enemy without actually shooting them, ya know?

A soldier just wants to hit whatever they're shooting at, they're not interested in shaving quarter minute angles like some competitive shooter. There's "good" and there's "practical". A military rifle with match grade accuracy is not a good thing if it comes with other drawbacks compared to a gun with less accuracy and more reliability in the field.

>Tommies preferred the M1 even when the STEN, a stamped metal weapon in the vein of the M3, was more available.

I've heard dudes did like their stens, even if they were cheap pieces of crap. Would think biggest thing is ergonomics. Horizontal magazine and barely any grips to speak of are not huge draws compared to an M1, I guess.
