No fuck you.

I like the idea of advancing the story. I even the like the idea of Guilliman showing up and reforming the imperium.

I dislike space marine space marines though, just because it makes the regular space marines seem worthless now. Really, Guilliman should have just overseen a new founding.

>>53527132

Realistically though even without the geneseed it's inevitable that you'd have new armor and bolters the moment he told the admech to unfuck itself. The only question was ever how numarines would be introduced.

>>53526844
Don't they have a general for this shit?

>>53527132
I agree with all your points, I even find the fluff explanation for the new marines non-offensive. But if they just said that the old marines got new armor and a geneseed upgrade I would have been just as happy. (I just love the new helmets)

>>53527132
> I even the like the idea of Guilliman showing up and reforming the imperium.
He tried it once and it didn't work. What makes you think it'll go down better this time?

Not to mention that it was such a fucking hack asspull. The Primarchs should've all stayed gone.

>>53527228
The 'new' helmets are basically just Mk. IV Maximus helmets.

>>53526682
Thank you, honorable battle-brother!

>>53527228
I think the classic helmet should never change
Its just as much a part of the iconic Space Marine appearance as the giant-ass pauldrons

>>53528519
Agreed. Beak or death.

So are the hundreds of SM minis i have now essentially useless with the chad marines?

>>53528543
No. New marines cost more to compensate for their advantages, so it's a strategic choice between the two.

AND THUS, THE 'GUILLIMAN'S TOWER' FORMATION WAS CREATED.

>>53527180
I would have been fine with a new armor mark, and a new bolter, new weapons, new vehicles/dreads, new everything

but bigger, better space marines are just gay

I am ok with this

Yes, throw in the trash those manlets

the same reason primaris will be immune to chaos : no matter if it "makes sense" in-universe, its GW writers who shape it.

>>53528615
then a ratling sniper on the storm trooper and then a servo skull with a flamer on top of the ratling

>>53526682
damn, those GW employee really get up early for their daily shilling

>>53527280
>He tried it once and it didn't work
He sorta ended up shanked not that long after, he really only got the Imperium back up and running, barely.
He would have needed to unfuck the Admech, never had a chance, and the High Lords went full neet. The Nova Terre incident was what really sent shit sideways.

>>53528535
this

>>53526682
I think they're sexy, and with Girlyman handing them out like candy to the nearly destroyed chapters it lets some of the more based chapters like the Marines Errant get back into the game.

>>53527299
Primaris Marines in general (or Intercessors, anyway) just look like a compilation of best-selling Marine Marks from the last 2 years. Mk IV heads because Calth was a hit, slightly retooled Mk VIII almost everything because people loved the new Deathwatch kits, and Sigmarine (basically Marines, right?) kneepads because GW forced Stormcasts down everybody's throats after AoS launched.

Inceptors, on the other hand, look like they were made when the sculptor for Intercessors watched too many newer Gundam episodes, and the Gravis Captain just needs to lay off the snacks.

>>53528519
Meh, Mk VII has always been the least interesting Mark to me. I'm glad to see Primaris using something else, even if it is just Mk IV mixed with the "ears" of Jes Goodwin's original Mk VIII concept art.

>>53532326
Also, not that anyone really cares, I actually don't mind the Mk X Tacticus design, despite how uninspired it is.

>>53530771
This is why I hope the rumours about retconning Sanguinius' death turn out to be bullshit. There are six potentially living loyalist Primarchs they could bring back, so why bring back one of the two that are confirmed to be dead? It would fuck with the Blood Angels' whole backstory and Black Rage gimmick.

Then again, GW and BL aren't strangers to invalidating a tragic death in order to pander to fans (see: Loken), so I wouldn't put this past them.

>>53532359
It's a cool, generic, "this is what a Space Marine looks like," sort of model. The visual language is all very on point with no ambiguity about it. Would that it carried through the rest of the range.

>>53532480
>Would that it carried through the rest of the range.
shame about the dreadnought

so close to being good, but they bungled it

>>53532526
The aesthetic of that Dread is all over the place. The curviness of the leg armour just doesn't fit with the boxy torso armour. It's like they felt like they needed to sum up the box-Dreads, Contemptor, Rogue Trader Dreads, and Dreadknight in a single model, without worrying about whether the result is actually good.

The way they dealt with the sarcophagus was actually kind of clever though, even if they aesthetically bungled it. If you think about it, having the standard box-Dread sarcophagus visible under the frontal armour explains where these Primaris Dreads' occupants are coming from. They're literally just taking the sarcophagi from the box-Dreads, installing them in these new ones, and giving them some extra frontal shielding.

>>53532434
not confirmed dead. its basically Jesus confirmed fatally wounded and put in a regenerative gold sarcophagus.

>>53532480
Exactly why I (think I) like it. Plus, it manages to pull off the distinctive Space Marine design without the lame "hurr durr angry stormtrooper lol" Mk VII helmet, which is a plus.

>>53532593
Yep. It's a cute detail.

The legs and shoulders are a fucking mess, however. Potentially salvageable, but I'm not going to drop eighty or so bones on a model I have to remake entire sections of.

>>53532906
I don't play the tabletop game so this may seem like a stupid question, but are you able to just use the old dreadnaughts and just say that they are the new ones?

>>53533029
separate profiles for the old dreadnoughts and new one

I just won't buy it, because aesthetics are more important to me than anything else

>>53533029
They're different patterns with different rules. You dont have to use the new ones, you can stick with the box or even go to FW and sell your firstborn for a Leviathan

So. . .its a realscale Space Marine?

For now. Scale creep will take care of that.

The story of the HH has said he was well and truly murdered by Horus, ever since 1st/2nd edition. I'm not aware of that being changed.

And a corpse shoved in a regenerating coffin is still a corpse, as far as I'm concerned.

>>53533029
Not only what >>53533075 and >>53533114 said, but the nu-Dread is noticeably larger than the current Dreadnoughts.

Pic related, comparing it to the Chaos Marine Helbrute, which is about typical Dread-size.

>>53534125
Oh, that's what the new dreads look like? That's not too bad, a bit too clean though...

>>53527299
That isn't even the best helmets.
MkVI Corvus have way better auto-senses and the same level of head protection

>>53534220
I bet all the seals and insignias would be sold separately

>>53528892
The High Marshall is indeed a jerk. She's perfect.

>>53531897
So the celestial lions will be reborn?

>>53534458
All the Primaris Marines sent to the Lions will be found dead with gunshots to the head. Ork snipers will be blamed.

>>53534458
They will never get a chance to rebuild their chapter.
There is only 5 or 10 left. 990 numarines is a new culture and chapter.

>>53534220
They're a bit too clean because they're essentially factory new anon.

>>53533208
Woudn`t you buy nu-numarines made by the reborn Emperor? C´mon anon.
Not to buy them would be the highest heresy.
