When can we expect GK's to get the Primaris treatment?

>>54305924
Since they were released?

GK's have always been +1 Space Marines.

Hopefully fucking never

Magnifrool (The Amplifier)
>A small thumbnail steel love that is inserted into the brains core. The Amplifier secretes hormones that increase the bodys growth functions while also intensifying it's advanced systems, especially those of the X and the X. In truth, the amplifier is but half of the true. dual valve immortis gland that the emperor created for his primarchs. However, Archmagos Cawl could only find materials and genetic blueprints to build the electrophic lobe (The right lobe) while plans for the left half that would complete he original super organ had been wholly eradicated. Whether this was done by the Emperor's own hands or by some nefarious source, Cawl could not tell.

Bananamen are already Primaris sized.

>>54306601
So primaris are just a few mm smaller, i like it.

So Primaris have more strength, more muscle and an internal defensive layer. A hormone maker that makes their other normal marine organs work better, and a 1-up potion that patches up massive damage to the hearts, then takes time to recharge.

>>54306041
What the hell do the three new ones say?

>>54306008
Same here, I played them in Rogue Trader and I fucking hate what they have become.

>>54313034
Sure you did buddy. Bet you got good mileage out of that special rule of theirs....

>>54305924
They're a space marine chapter, right? I believe primaris were given to ALL space marine chapters

>>54306041
So again how did a random arch Magis nobody had ever heard of manage to revive Guilliman and outdo the work of the emperor of mankind himself?

>>54313168
t. retard who hasnt read the freely available fluff

>>54313168
Guilly gave him primarch serum.

>>54313168
>random arch Magis

Lol that's like saying how some random president of the united states had the authority to do some presidential shit.

>>54313168
He had the schematics and research, he had ten thousand years to perfect it, and he wasn't interrupted.

We also know the Emperor could have made the Space Marines even better from the get go (e.g. Thunder Warriors were ridiculously good at killing things). He chose not to because he didn't need them to be better than they were, which was already perfectly serviceable.

Seems a minor semi-retcon, but the new organs the Primaris marines get seem mostly to be incomplete basic space marine ones. Stuff that the Emperor never got finished before being satisfied with what he has, with a hint that there's more possible (the brain organ that increases reaction and muscle growth is only partly working)

Well there has to be a "Best scientist since the emperor"

>>54313371
"Push this button" doesn't translate into understanding Necron, Eldar, and Old One tech to point that he producing and testing Imperial pylons.

And Trazyn is an Overlord. Overlord know nothing about their technology since that's beneath them. They leave the matter of tech and science to the Crypteks.

Are you retarded? First you didn't even read the fluff, then when someone corrects you, you start sperging out over irrelevant shit. The fluff says Trazyn helped Cawl do what he did. End of story. It doesn't matter if you think Trazyn, who isn't even a "typical" overlord wouldn't know it or finds it beneath him.

>>54313034

What were they back then?

>>54306601
>>54308720
Unacceptable.

GW will probably have to give them some retcons or fluff seeds of the Custodes breaking out some primarch potion made by the emperor himself that turns their best heros into Primarch tier warriors. Like Tribunes with +2 to every single stat.

>>54313441
They look like plastic toys

why does modern 40k art suck so much

>>54313459
The fluff says ONLY THE ELDAR had a chance of understanding the most basic of Necron scientific concepts.

And somehow Trazyn is a cryptek-overlord when the fluff doesn't say he is? How did Trazyn teaching Cawl how to activate the Pylons translate into knowing how to build them and most bizarrely knowing how Eldar and OLD ONE tech work?

This fluff is whack. Admit it.

Because they sell plastic toys.

Cawl has 10000 years of experience.

>>54313593
And the Eldar have 60 million years of exp and a manual that contains all their collected knowledge about the Necron race (Book of Mournful Night) and they still cannot wrap their heads around Necron tech in the same way that Cawl did.

I don't use that word lightly but MARY FUCKING SUE.

>>54313614
Best Eldar psychers are also weaker than Emperor and Magnus.

>>54313614
Eldar were created. Doubt they even came up with any of their tech tbqh.

>>54313568
Cawl knows how to control and cleanse MSS scarabs too and thats without Trazyns help

>>54313629
Irrelevant. Psychic power relies on metaphysical thing that is a soul.

Brain power relies on the mundane flesh and matter. A human brain no matter how augmented can never be superior to an Eldar brain. Heck, It's known for Necron tech to cause madness and horror in tech priests. More than one a tech priests lost their minds and mutilated themselves when they examined Necron tech. Somehow Cawl is immune to that.

>>54313677
It's simple. Cawl just extracted the nano-scarabs from Greyfax's bloodstream. Painful and tedious procedure.

>>54313483
Imagine them as the same, but without any of their named characters.

Oh and they had a rule that they LITERALLY COULDN'T BE DEPLOYED unless there was a Daemon in your opponents army. So he is full of shit.

Cawl has some fluff about where he modded his brain to both improve storage and compartmentalize it like a hard drive, so if he ever goes mad he only loses like 5% of his mind.

Newfag.

Its not bad writing it just does follow your preferred canon. 40k has contradictory fluff all the time. Having one guy shit himself when looking at necron tech doesnt mean it will always happen.

Besides Cawl had no idea wtf to do even after studying for so long. In hthe end he cgot the source code from Trazyn and is using that to help his own research.

>>54313281
Well, yeah, except that it's like somebody suddenly telling you today that there was actually a president IN BETWEEN Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, and that you should treat him with all the respect as if he'd already existed all this time.

>>54313484
Custodes already have a better stat line than Primaris. Fluffwise I'm not sure if Primaris are custodes sized but I've assumed they're thunder warriors but stable.

I hope so. If the Imperium is going to be split, then both sides need distinct shit. Gully's boys get the admech and Lion when he comesback and spits his drink at what's going on, joins the Dark Imperium as their big dick G and gays it up all over the rift with something else.

>>54314309

I wanna see the Archmagos from the titan legion ordo and the "gods of destroying things and war" ordo. Reducto I think.

>>54314280
If somebody claimed it tomorrow, out of nowhere, with no long-established proof, people would say 'that's some shit historical research'.
If a similar thing happens in a long-established fictional world, people should be able to say 'that's some shit writing'.

>>54314354
>with no long-established proof

That's the thing though, there is proof. GW published it. It's canon. If the ex-POTUS had proof we'd have to honor it.

>>54314354
Do you react to every surprise discovery with "that's shit reality"? Life is full of things similar to this. You would basically call every single scientist and archaeologist shit by this logic, due to how many new discovers they make that surprise the community or override previous theories.

>>54314354
Technically, the US did have presidents before Washington. At least two of them even signed the Deceleration of Independence in support of the rebellion. Also, there was John Hanson, who George Washington helped elect as the first President of the United States in Congress Assembled in In 1779 before the full constitution was ratified.

To be fair some of those pre-ratification presidents were actually pretty chill guys. It's a shame American schools don't teach kids more about them. Or early ass attempts to abolish slavery for that matter. Hamilton was abolitionist and yet he and Washington still get shit on for hypocrisy on slaves when they tried to pass legislature very early in post-ratification to stop it. 1775, 1807, 1808 each had attempts, And some early attempts failed only by a few votes which could not be overturned for the sake of peoples better natures because that would mean Americas attempt at creating law people are supposed to follow, would be for nothing.

Both the Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors are so famously good at it their rivalry over who was better is part of the reason why the Iron Warriors fell to chaos.

The grind you describe belonged to the Iron Warriors. Imperial Fists are siege busters and fortification builders.

The best part is that I have no idea how people feel about all these changes outside of a bunch of idiots shitposting on a korean mango-processing plant. I legitimately have no idea if, the next time I'm able to actually meet people who like 40k, if they're going to be accepting this with open arms or hating it. Within a few years, people probably won't even question it or understand the shitposting about it, since Primaris Marines will be considered normal.

That generally isn't too viable when a chapter only has 1000 marines at most.
For 10,000+++ strong legions, sure, see the Iron Warriors. But when you're such a small force, it's better to leave such costly forms of warfare top less massively over-costed military assets.

>>54314973
thats what chapter serfs are for

The Codex Astartes limits your number of Marines. But if you also happen to be one of the few that direct rules a world, well.... you can roll with your own Regiment

>>54305924
The fact primaris have no melee sprues except for maybe a power sword here and there makes me unreasonably angry

It was an in-built mechanism by the Emperor, as he never intended TWs to be more than stop-gap troops to conquer Terra for him and then die off, making way to Primarchs and marines.
Also, physically TWs were more stronger than marines.

>>54313568
Cawl is older than all but two Eldar in existence.

>>54313614
Eldar don't have technology anon. They don't use wires like us and it'd be remarkable if they even understood Imperial technology. Eldar tech is literally magic'd into existence, Bonesingers create constructs out of literally nothing, turning warp energy into physical matter. They don't have wires, CPU's or GPU's.

>>54316847
Nope, that's craftworld technology. Dark Eldar technology is non-psychic but bio, mechanical, cosmic, and add in a dash of emotional power.

Both factions have more understanding about Necron technology than the human race.

>>54316888
Except Techmarines have hacked into Necron tech Independence Day style and disrupted it. Eldar haven't.

>>54316830
The masters of the Haemonculi covens are older than Cawl. The PLs are older than Cawl. Eldrad is older. The mysterious keepers of the Black Library which contains the book of Mournful Night are older than Cawl.

The Book of Mournful Night which is a book about the Necrons and C'tan is hidden within the depths of the Black Library and heavily guarded because it contains mind shattering cosmic knowledge and secrets. Even a fraction of that knowledge have been more than a human mind can bear and yet we have Cawl.

>>54316894
>Except Techmarines have hacked into Necron tech Independence Day style

Source?

>Eldar haven't.

Eldar activated a stolen Necron Pylons in a gambit to save theur craftworld but ended up with the Pylon field destroying their craftworld and extinguishing the Infinity Circuit and the souls within.

The Eldar shutdown Necron worm portals stopping a Necron invasion on an Imperial world.

The Harlequins of a certain troupe know about Necron physiology more than any other faction knowing exactly here to strike to destroy the Necrons. Also they know how to navigate the engram circuits of the Necron machine minds with their psychic powers so that they can read the minds of the Necrons and use the Necron memories as weapons against them.

>>54314309
That boner of Cawl though...

>>54313614
To be fair, human tech is influenced by the void dragon/ bug chunk of it, who is a C'tan.
Makes some sense that the AdMech can sport some magi who know a thing or two about crontech.
