So what the hell is it?

A modernized and standardized artificer armour? A stop-gap between regular power armour and terminator armour?

What kind of beergut is behind the pecs?

None of the above, it's brand new. It gives +1T

...why the hell would a massive left pauldron provide any sort of advantage?

The aggressors sound decent though.

Sounds like the beergut is an ammo storage.

Against a right handed opponent, the larger left pauldron will be more likely to deflect hits. It's similar to why Tau Fire Warriors have a bigass left pauldron. Because they hold their gun in their right hand, left shoulder faces towards the enemy, so making it bigger makes it more likely to block fire.

Gravis: with gravity, as in, Grave.

It's Grave Armor. As in Dire Armor. As in More Serious Than Normal Armor. As in Bigger Than Usual Armor.

The weird thing about that armor is Inceptors are also wearing Gravis armor but it doesn't look nearly as retarded.
>>
>>53619494
OP, if that's a beergut, there's a lot of muscular men out there who would be running in shame for the gym. Proportionally speaking, the armor does not have a beergut, and no matter how hard I stare at it... I can only think that the "plates stacked on top of each other" design choice would be why this is even a meme. Underneath those plates the marine's stomach would be muscular as hell, but considering each plate looks to be decently thick and is wrapped over a another layer of core armor, the dude underneath would likely be fairly normal in proportions or even God forbid, thin.
>>
>>53623550
It has that belt thing to break up the look.
>>
>>53619494
Where is the beer gut? The only thing that looks enlarged is the pecs? Is this a new meme?

I hate memes

Ok

>>53619494

I tell you what, I think that marine is gravid.
>>
>>53623550
It's its own kind of retarded.
>>
>>53624367
Its the poses that get me. Everything else can be saved (depending on how the non starter set kits are designed) but the poses just suck.

Just look at the corresponding model. It's much more blatant there.

Also, I think he's gonna bro up to Eidolon soon. Fat Space Marine solidarity and all that.
>>
>>53624400
I mean, the packs, and the guns? Nah, I'm not seeing it.
>>
>>53623550
>it doesn't look nearly as retarded.
The Inceptors look even MORE retarded, IMO. But more because of the jump packs than anything.
>>
>>53624461
I dont mind the guns, and yeah the packs can be saved. What makes them look weird is how they attach to the hood like that. A fix can be made, but the difficulty will depend on how it assembles.
>>
>>53624508
I'd wait for them to get a multi-part kit first, and then hybridise them with Intercessor torsos and old-Marine jump packs or something. Or knock together an alternate jump pack design if the old packs don't fit properly.
>>
>>53623780
>REEEEEE I DONT GET JOKES

Also, it's more obvious on the model than in the art.

I guess I'm blind, because it looks fucking fine. At the very least it looks just as stupid as any other space marine.
>>
>>53625575

Ithink people have a problem with it because the plates are rounded and protrude past his waist. I think. I personally don't see the problem with it. I mean the pose is a bit odd, but that's just part and parcel with 40k really.

He's a Space Marine in the same terrible scoliosis pose as the plastic Ork boys, but looks even dumber for it because he isn't a hunched football alien.

If it helps (like it did with me), they drop from low orbit, instead of jumping out of Thunderhawks like Assault Marines.

How does a Primaris Space Marine stealth when he has a fuckhuge left pauldron and is taller than a normal Space Marine?
>>
>>53626293
How the fuck do Orks stealth?

Why did geedub release these as some new Marines? Just reading the tg stuff it all sounds like a mess. They should have released these as updated models and left it at that.
>>
>>53626293
he can cloak? legit says it's silent and it's been referenced elsewhere they can stealth
>>
>>53626310
Lorewise it introduces some cool new possibilities. Greyshields, Cawl going through with his traitor legion geneseed plot to give us loyalist traitors, Guilliman slowly becoming as ruthless as the Emperor and following his footsteps even as he grows to despise the man.

But as per usual the real reason is MONEY.
>>
>>53626223

it was a good source of reaction pics tho
>>
>>53626354

The interesting thing about Guilliman is he would have been made the chief administrator of the Imperium post-Crusade anyway if there was no heresy. So in a way, we're seeing how that life would have worked out for Guilliman. Would he have liked it forever? Would he indeed grow to despite Big E for being so distant?
>>
>>53626522
The problem isnt Emps being distant its Emps being a massive lying cunt.

In time, space marines will lose their vestigial limbs and become totally armless.

>>53619873
The Dark Angel in that 6th edition art just makes me wonder if the artist (Alex Boyd, maybe?) just stopped giving a fuck about proportions altogether. The whole torso area just seems off.
