Good for you that you can still build one out of every old marine box. Maybe every primaris box will have enough pieces to put together an old marine acting as squad mascotte?

Actually I have confession to make as a sisters player. I honestly hope they never come out with plastic sisters. I'm putting a shit ton of work into converting myself an army, and it makes me kinda happy to be one of only two guys in my area who play them. If they came out with plastic 1.they might look better than my conversions which would just make me feel like shit about my girls and 2. Half a dozen other sisters players would pop up and I'd get lumped in wit them.

You better get yourself used to criticism because this is not how you go about it.
It's clear that GW is trying to go for a new "Shiny and high tech look" to the space marines and eventually everything else, completely ignoring the world style they've had set up for decades now.

They're doing this to attract the newer generation who have been used to the clean and smooth sci-fi settings we've been getting lately

They may look like space marines, but nothing about them even feels like a space marine. I've said this in every post which you continually ignore.

I can look back at the older drawings and models and tell they are space marines and fit the setting they are in.
When I look at the newer drawings and models, nothing about them yells "Space marine". They look overly high tech compared with everyone else, they're lore and creation feels forced without much thought put into it.

The argument that the Space marines are the best The Emperor could do still counts since the primarchs don't count. They were the The Emperor's finest and almost impossible to recreate without messing with the geneseed; which is HERESY if I might remind you, and are to be considered mutants.
>Cause they were

So the fact they were even made without anyone bating an eye is just poor writing and proof GW just wants to send these new models out the door because they look cool, and more approachable to a wider audience of young kids and teens
>>
>>54356191
>>54356343
What is with this newish trend of calling out people merely having fucking opinions, somebody was calling an anon a special snowflake in the general because he said 7ed had a bit of rules bloat. We're at the level of:

>I don't like X
YOUR OPINION MEANS NOTHING
>Okay but why
HOLY SHIT I DON'T CARE

Like holy fuck, we're on /tg/ to discuss our opinions on /tg/, if we're not allowed to have opinions without anons calling out their mere existence then what the fuck are we supposed to do here? Call people a faggot because they do/don't like the primaris marines, but calling people faggots for having opinions at all on primaris marines is retarded.

I'm daft enough to have built an army that's essentiallynot supported from the company basically from scratch because I liked them and I enjoyed the challenge. And now that I've been doing it for a bit I'm really proud of them, and others think they are really unique and cool, but if plastic sisters come out I'll loose that and my prise may turn to shame when I see my goofy cut n paste jobs next to smooth sculpts. It isn't rocket science man.
>>
>>54358610
So because your feefees will get hurt, they shouldn't release plastic sisters? Fuck off, you shouldn't punish the rest of us just because your self admitted shitty conversions won't look good next to them.
>>
>>54356127
It's true. Although ruthlessly ridiculed, the older dreadnaught patterns were "the" iconic 40k mechs, i think secondly only in brand importance to the marines themselves. It shocks me that they're trying to replace them wholesale rather than making minor changes while preserving the look.

I played Squats

I had 2,500 points of fuckin useless Guard-by-any-other-name with gimpy stumpy little legs

I had Rhinos, I had Trikes, I had Hearthguard with and without Exo-Armour, on and off Trikes, I had Living Ancestors with some of the most broken psychic powers of RT or 2E

You know why nobody really likes them in 40k? It's because Space Wolves came along and did Norsish garbage better

You know why they never really caught on before that? No dreadnoughts, no heavy infantry worth having, no heavy artillery that wasn't also available to Guard and Marines with better assault options

Squats were shit, nobody played them, and if anybody tells you different they're a fucking liar and here's the proof for you: wait until everyone starts bitching about how they brought back Move as a characteristic and suddenly their units aren't competitive, because that was a problem every non-vehicle - and remember bikes and trikes were vehicles - unit had back in RT/2E

You want to know why they said jokingly that a Hive Fleet ate the Squats? because they'd played fuck knows how many test games trying out their lists against each other, and that's what Tyranids always did to Squats

fucking Genestealer Cults could take them out without tanks or artillery, just by sending a distraction squad of Cultists to harass while the Purestrains crossed the board in ONE TURN and raped to death anything that survived being shot to shit by the Hybrids hanging back with autocannons

Now Nigward do you see anything in this that even RESEMBLES any Space Marine army of 7E? Because that is the comparison you are making

Fucking garbage that everyone could smell the stench of death on years before 2E rolled up with the most-played faction of the last 30 years

I don't actually believe that GW will try to phase out the old marines, as why would they get rid of them for primaris when they can sell both? A big thing about pushing the primaris marines is because they're new and shiny and you don't have them... yet.

On top of that, old space marines have more aesthetic appeal because of all the bits from years upon years of development. For a long time, the primaris marines aren't going to be anywhere as cool as the old marines are. On top of that the old marines are compatible with all the heresy era marines they're also trying to sell you and want to keep selling to you.

Right now the fluff points towards Guilliman wanting to phase out the old marines and run the Imperium his way, like it was all Ultramar. But the Imperium is not all like Ultramar, and we don't know yet how the other primarchs are going to react when they come back, loyalist and traitor. There is a good chance, he or someone else is going to fuck it all up for him.

RT list (Compendium, no Chaos Attributes)

6" move becomes 12" charge move

>opponent has -1 hit mod when Genestealer chargers
>Genestealer claws have -1 save mod (ie RT-era power armor has a 5+ against them; RT-era Space Marines, Orks, Squats, (T4) are Wounded on a 2+; Orks, Squats, anything in Flak receives no save against Genestealer claws), 4 attacks per Purestrain

assuming you had nothing worth taking in the middle field, you could sit back on your styrofoam hill and wait for them to murder you on turn 2, but other than that the only way to avoid them would be playing lengthwise on a full-size 8'x4' board, normal deployment zones would only leave 24" between you and most games would have some reason to leave deployment zones

playing on a board less than 4' wide meant having Purestrains in your deployment zone on turn 1; if they had a tank to hide out in, you were dead

2E list (Tyranids or Cults)

6" move becomes 12" charge move; -3 save mod on the claws, wounds on a 2+ (Marines now get a 6+ save, everybody else is still fucked), 4 attacks per Purestrain blah blah nothing really change that much

oh except now they can get 2D6 saves and Frenzy from Catalyst which their Level 4 psykers always have, Hypnotic Gaze to absolutely fuck a unit 6" in front of them (better hope you weren't going to try and take any objectives or you'll be on your front line when they hit), and so on

>>54360186
But this can't work like the squats, they just can't drop oldmarines in the lore like the squats. They have 10,000 years of history, and we're the key players in some of the greatest victories of the Imperium. They can and will write new stories, but they won't match up to the years of development.

I think that these years between the horus heresy and the 42nd millennium might be the future of the old marines. Historical battles and campaigns and such so that you can keep playing your old marines, they can sell you them, and you can buy any new characters or things they come up with along the way.

According to Dark Millenium, he reflects he doesn't even love his original 'sons' and can't stand the new Primaris™. He's aware he's basically become Emperor 2.0. and is just doing whatever is neccesary to save the species, hence he doesn't hold it against Dad for not loving him or his brothers.

So basically he's ordered the creation of the chadmarines, given a bunch of speeches about how great they are and how they should be proud to be saviours of humanity, sent them off to die against Chaos but really he wishes he'd never had to have them in the first place and could just sit back home on Macragge designing marble architecture and optimising tax policy.

Leg design is retarded because it didn't allow big constructs walk properly, unlike Viking legs.

They're an armor-plated torso and armor-plated mechanical legs. They look okay in the same sense that a Rhino looks like an okay transport for 10 space marines.

A walking tank with whatever type of leg is going to be shit.
Viking legs - shit
Old Dread legs - shit
New Dread legs - shit

This is space fantasy, not hard sci-fi. Stop trying to argue that the new dread's legs 'don't work' compared to a leg design that is itself utterly inferior to the wheels on a 1948 Land Rover.

Those are still Space Marines, irregardless of new models and lore. And SMs are definitely the posterboys.

Plus, since the Primaris are explicitly described as bigger, the size discrepancy is likely to remain. Diminish, provided the range is updated to be more in line with Deathwatch sized marines, but still remain due to that very lore.

In effect, marinelets are here to stay, at least for a while. And that's assuming GW will update the range or have the marinelets be replaced altogether in the lore at some point.
>>
>>54364551
>And SMs are definitely the posterboys.
Dude, even SM codex cover have only Primaris on the main plan.
>>
>>54364551

Marinelets will die out because eventually they will all either be replaced by prime marines or upgraded to them. Don't kid yourself eventually everything is getting phased out. It might take a few years, but it will happen.

>>54364568
SMs, the faction, are and remain the posterboys. And Primaris are still marines, they're just the new SM hotness and the iconic 8th ed design. The very first 8th is a Primaris helmet. Makes perfect sense.

>>54364569
The Primaris lore calls for comparison with marines right now. I acknowledge the marinelets might be on the way out, but not for a while yet. Not when they still have different rules, different unit structures, differences from the basic models supported by the lore. Not so long as GW is lazy enough to offer different design options to those who want them without updating the entire SM range.

And since Cawl is a borderline heretek, we might see some interesting developments. Probably not, but still fun to consider.

>>54362936
Point conceded. The reason I don't like the Chad Marines as they are being called is they just don't aesthetically feel like 40K. They look like they are trying way too hard to be Stormtroopers, or Master Chief, or something from Destiny. They don't look like Space Marines their proportions are different the armor is too smooth and I don't like the TAC rails on the guns. It's like they're trying to call of shootify 40K and I don't like it.
>>
>>54365590
Great blog
>>
>>54365590
not him and i hate primaris, but saying they don't feel like 40k is a faulty arguement, it's just your brain saying no to change, they definitely look 40k, at most you can say they don't feel like old space amrines, but that's kind of obvious.

You are why car companies do planned obsolescence.
Cars USED to last forever, but oh shit, people wont buy anything if your 1960s Ford or Mercedes never die.
Now cars are shittier because you faggots don't understand that companies need to pay their employees and also do this thing called profit.

The fundamental flaw of capitalism. Competition doesn't give you the best possible product at the best possible price.
It gives you a couple of products (with some cosmetic differences for each price range, obviously) that constantly tip-toe the line between 'almost decent' and 'too shitty to get away with selling'.

Costly? Possibly, but they're like any luxury hobby, but with cars it's really a matter of how much you can DIY.
Ugly? This is where I'd fight you. We have collector cars that are things of sculptural beauty. Cultural relics that need preservation for the good of mankind.

Mechanic wise they can be good.
For example HS you might not like the mechanics, but they are good enough to work on their own.
The game is not fun to play, mostly because it is reduced to the meta of the week.

Another example is overwatch. I can't really bitch about the game itself. But the thing is boring.
