>>54629088
Yes, and a Guardian of the Covenant for a Grey Knight.

>>54628845
im 100% certain the black templars would not be accepting of primaris in their ranks.
their purist ideals might conflict with vat born mutants.

>>54628845

Why do they do this to us?

>>54629290
They already do.
Primaris are not vat born.

>>54628907
Oh shit, watch out with those insults or a Cruiser will go missing and everyone will blame it on you.

>>54629306
Aren't they made in tubes as opposed to modifying a fully grown adult?

>>54629339
No.

>>54629339
No, and Marines are typically made from boys, not adults.

>>54629403
>>54629418
so they really are just super marines

>>54629339
No, Primaris are made the same as normal Marines with the addition that Marines can be upgraded with Primaris organs so they can become Primaris.

>>54629290
Yeah except literally one of the first pictures of the Primaris marines was art of Primaris Black Templars you fucking mongoloid

>>54629464
That's what they have been explicitly since they were introduced, yes.

>>54629485
just because they were made doesn't mean they were accepted. i'm still holding out for a civil war arc

>>54629464
Yes.

>>54629503
Helbrecht accepted them.

>>54629520
damn. i hope at least a few chapters get pissy or something, because otherwise my manlet marines are going quietly into the night.

>>54629548
94% have accepted them as of Dark Imperium.
All GW's chapters will.

>>54629598
I hope GW does something smart with this...oh who am I kidding, of course they won't. But it would be cool to have trust be betrayed as Primaris marines end up being too flawed or something.

>>54629620
That wouldn't be smart though, that would be typical. A brainless reaction.

What they're actually doing is more clever. Read Dark Imperium and Shroud of Night.

>>54630079
We don't need any more plasma weapons.

What we REALLY need are more variations of boltguns. I'm really upset about the lack of choices the Primaris have when it comes to bolt weapons.

Grumpy Imperial Fist Captain who doesn't like how they've had no education and been dumped straight into his battle company. Spends time drilling them like scouts, but is genuinely saddened when his Primaris Lieutenant friend is killed.

Alpha Legion feel almost betrayed by the fact that there're new Marines on the block. They feel that despite the Emperor being a shithead he made perfection with the Legiones Astartes and that some Magos tinkering with them will only produce inferior results.
The Primaris prove tougher than they expect but they adapt well and steal some of their gear.

Hey let's update the Chaos range! Like maybe the old as dirt Berserker sprues or the standard Chaos Marines!

You can always take Plague Marines or Rubrics alongside the other Legions as well.

>>54631193
You do know that more than half the xenon are working for the Imperium, right?

>>54632115
A bunch of Primaris conversions in WhiteDwarf.

>>54632132
If they were smart they would of made a box of regular csm first though. Deathguard are so corrupted they are unconvertible and thousand sons have so much specific details as well.

It would be like if Primaris marines existed but they were covered in ever inch with dark angel icons.

>>54628787
Does anyone else not like the primaris marines from the waist down?

>>54632132
Yeah, but they're allies not actually part of your legion. I can also take a Chaos Knight if I want.

>>54632185
>If they were smart they would of made a box of regular csm first though.

They already have a box.
Rubrics and Plague Marines had ancient upgrade kits.

>>54632234
>Yeah, but they're allies not actually part of your legion.

So?

>>54632234

Wrong. You can take plague marines that are part of your legion. Faggot.

>>54632254
Its never been about merit though. Death guard make sense thousand sons dont.

>>54629503
I'm waiting for the response of one of the other primarchs to the primaris. Possibly saying Guilliman is overstepping his boundary or something.

>>54631731
This is why I prefer the Lennymarines meme over the chadmarines meme. It's more fun.

>>54632254
>So?
So saying that Thousand Sons count as a release for an Iron Warrior player is silly. It's like saying that Primaris is a release for Sisters of Battle because you can ally them in.

>>54632271
Why don't Thousand Sons make sense?

>>54632316
>So saying that Thousand Sons count as a release for an Iron Warrior player is silly. It's like saying that Primaris is a release for Sisters of Battle because you can ally them in.

Thousand Sons and Death Guard have always been in with the other Legions though.

>>54632066
Plague Marines are open to everyone though. All Death Guard are Plague Marines but not all Plague Marines are Death Guard.

>>54632369
Nurgle is popular, thousand sons are not. Neither box would sell as much as generic chaos marines though. Its bewildering.

>>54632260
>>54632370
Fair enough, most legions can get away with plague marines but rubrics make no sense outside of Thousand Sons or Black Legion.

>>54632438
They make sense in any Legion.
>Warsmith Whoizface has hired a sorcerer and his band of rubrics
Easy.

>>54632494
mongrel chaos is the least popular type of chaos. The players largely want 1 legion.

>>54632494
Which goes back to my original point that they're allies and not actually part of your legion. Thousand Sons models clash with the aesthetics of other models.

I think I'm gonna start getting Primaris Marines.

>>54632526
That's how I am, I can deal with a mongrel army, but I'm still hoping for World Eaters to get brand new models like the Death Guard.

>>54632526
But they don't have too and fluff is rife with team up between various chaos factions.

>>54632555
>Which goes back to my original point that they're allies and not actually part of your legion.

So what? Why does being strictly part of your Legion matter?

>Thousand Sons models clash with the aesthetics of other models.

Not really, they're pretty unobtrusive and would go fine with anything else if you give them a matching or complimentary color scheme.

Reminder that Lelith Hesperax is now a druggie.

>>54632599
>But they don't have too and fluff is rife with team up between various chaos factions.

They don't have to play chaos either, which is what most of them end up doing.

>>54629702
I would just dislike how GW hinted 'oooh there might be something wrong with their gene-seed!' but never actually followed up on it. I know it was probably only meant to be a bone thrown to those who didn't like the new models, but it would still be annoying to just have them completely replace the old marines without a hitch.

>>54632608
she doesn't even wear shoes. What did you expect

>>54632620
Well that what they get for trying to play by ancient 3.5e rules.

>>54632438
Technically all you need is a Sorcerer that can control the Rubricae. They're essentially like robots - you could have some other sorcerer steal them or win them from an enemy, or have a Thousand Sons sorcerer join up with another warband for their own reasons.

>>54632646
They all went to HH if they could be fucked. That whole game line is from GW's refusal to give chaos legions some basic shit. Thereby ruining Forgeworld and chaos.

>>54632634
>I would just dislike how GW hinted 'oooh there might be something wrong with their gene-seed!' but never actually followed up on it.

It's hardly been along time to follow up on it.
What they were hinting towards anyway was BA and SW Primaris Marines.
Primaris Death Company are going to be a thing eventually.

>>54629464
Yes and that why I will always hate them.

>>54632676
It's from the popularity of the novels which is from the popularity of space marines and the soap opera and power wank between Primarchs.

>>54632722
I disagree wholeheartedly. The books helped. But the chaos codex reducing legions to paint schemes only is why HH exists.

>>54632785
Well not exists, why is so profitable.

>>54632808
Hit the nail on the head for me. 3.5 csm codex is something I still day dream about.

>>54632695
It's not as if other chapters don't have flaws in their gene-seed. Dark Angels are secretive and somewhat paranoid, Imperial Fists have issues with anger and pain. Raven Guard and Salamanders have the problems with some organs and their appearance - what do you think might happen if those get amped up to 11?

>>54632848
Yeah man. 3.5 was the shit, i didn't even abuse it what a waste.

>>54632223
Its the gut plate that gets me on these guys. The Reivers legs are trash though.

>>54639919
They aren't shunned. Some marine distrust them but they have good relations with many chapters like the Ultrmarines.

The chapters that really hate the Blood Ravens are the Space Wolves and the Black Templar.

>>54645910
How else is GW gonna sell all those conversion packs?

I get it, GW loves putting out Space Marines because they so well. But it is really starting to rustle my jimmies, most of the armies in the game have a fraction of the shit marines have. It's boring.

>>54646981
No one cares what you think you damn NPC shitter.

>>54636263
But Wait! On the codex horizon we have
Chaos space marines
Grey knights
Death guard
and our favourite, unannounced.
Not counting those, there are 6 more codices before christmas, enough to fit Eldar, tau, orks, nids, demons and guard. Not every major faction will get a codex before christmas, and one of those six will probably be replaced with dark angels, blood angels, space wolves, or thousand sons, because GW can't help itself with updating marine sub-factions before major factions.
Then we know we're getting a huge death guard line that'll take up at least a month of releases, necromunda is back, and death are getting new skeletons, so it's likely that only one other codex update is getting new models (orks are actually the most likely here, with guard after, but they're also both npc factions so yeah not likely)

>>54628808
I think it's just the lack of skulls etc. Primaris marines lack the 40k aesthetic. they look more like HH

How is he so old if he's a Primaris?

>>54647471
Not only has it been 100 or so years since the Primaris were introduced, older marines can also go under the knife again to get Primaris Organs implanted in them.

>>54628808
Spotted the manlet.

>>54633682

In respects to WAAC faggotry. Tactical marines are probably better than primaris as they are cheaper, more numerous, have more flexible special weapon options boosted by split fire and can take razorbacks. Then again why are you playing marines and not guard if you're a WAAC faggot? And why are you running more than the bare minimum tax squads you can get away to spam Razorbacks/flyers/law preds etc with if you are stuck with marines ?

In terms of the future of the game though Primaris marines are where it's going to be. When little Timmy picks up the starter set he's looking at chads. All he knows from the physical aesthetic of the model, the fluff in the books provided and a cursory glance of the rules is that they're better than the smaller marine models that don't really make much sense. So he's going to make an army of primaris marines, with the primaris transports he has to buy, and the cool giant primaris dreadnought( because why buy the smaller, weaker ones wtf? ) And he's going to be the future of the hobby.
When I started this hobby ( at 9 years old, 3E) that my friends around my age just bought the best models they could based on what looked the best. Points didn't mean shit nor following rules. Hence they spurged on terminators, land raiders , vindicators and anything else that looked OP.

( I not being a faggot then tried to build an actual army starting with two troops and an HQ some transports and slowly expanding from that base . I fondly remember my librarian and two tactical marine squads being horribly murdered by a land raider and 5 terminators in one of my first floor games. Fun!? )

Games workshop will see how well primaris are doing and have no reason to bother with the marine line anymore and will slowly expand the primaris one to consume it until one day they stop stocking marines. The fan base will whine of course they always do , but then they will re-insert the games workshop sized buttplug in and keep buying.

Wow, more space moorines. Hurray.

Will we ever get Chaos Primaris Marines? Surely they're as susceptible to the Warp's corruption as any other Marine.

>>54657229
Not for a while if at all.
Same reason they never made Chaos Stormcast, more distinctiveness and because being big is the Primaris selling point.

>>54657293
Damn. I might have to make some custom ones. I wonder if anyone's homebrewed them yet.

>>54657293

You make it sound like Primaris are the big guys only faction. The new Death Guard are just as tall and chunky as the Primaris and it stands to reason that any new Chaos models will be the same.

>The new Death Guard are just as tall and chunky as the Primaris

They're not. They're bulkier but shorter for sure. Just like AoS.

I need to find a name for the social effect when sperglords learn that most of the fanbase doesn't like something so they latch onto and defend it

have fun getting sigmard lol

>>54657473
Nigger, I play Krieg. My heart lies with the Steel Legion, but GW will NEVER EVER out out another plastic guard kit that isn't Cadians or Catachans, so I went with the next best thing.

>>54657479
Only by a little. The DG are bigger than your average manlet, and tower over the regular CSM, some of which are smaller than guardsmen.

>>54628808
I hate the new mark power armor and think the fluff's retarded.

>>54657229
They're just making Chaos Space Marines bigger so that they match the Primaris for size. In other words, all marines will be true-scale within a few years, but Chaos marines will be in older armor marks.

>>54658186
I have the perfect name for that

in gw case it would be something along the line of CONTRADVOCANT HELKNYGHT

>>54631731
You would have thought the Imperial Fists would have taken to them quite well, since the Primaris have a couple of extra organs that let them keep going after taking severe wounds, and that is literally the Imperial Fists favourite pasttime.

>>54628787
Gee wizz, I sure hope mommy buys me this week's new space marine

>>54660459
They mostly do, it's just the Captain that has an issue.

>>54656650
>all the resources from WHFB went into making AoS

I doubt this is any better for diehard WHFB players.

Also, tons of 40K money went into making useless WHFB shit like all the End Times and pre-End Times plastics.

>>54629339
everybody assumed they were vat-grown due to the teaser images of rank upon rank of what looked like vats... but those were actually stasis tubes. The Primaris marines were recruited like normal marines, over the last 10,000 years. Some of they saw the primarchs in person before they were upgraded and put into storage.

>>54644568
Hot damn. These things are making me want a Primaris expansion for Deathwatch. On a related note, how long would it take for these guys to get invited to that party, Lore-wise?

>>54667556

There's no time limit. Some chapters treat the Deathwatch as a babysitting or garbage disposal service, and send anyone they want instead of their best.

>>54667566
So, it's actually quite likely for chapters less enthused about Primaris marines to contribute more to the Deathwatch in an attempt to get rid of them...which could easily lead to the Primaris marines gaining more acceptance and renown by serving with experienced marines from several chapters. Law of unintended consequences?

>>54667632
I don't presume to make deductions in a world where Guilliman has been brought back from the dead by an Eldar death cult leader immune to Slaanesh and leads an army of double enhanced supersoldiers across a galaxy torn in two.

From now on, I only state printed facts from published lore and draw no conclusions of my own that aren't published by GW as well, because who knows what GW is going to pull in the future.

>>54657479
The Death Guard vary in size. Some of them are smaller than Primaris, some of them are actually BIGGER than Primaris (and no I'm not talking about characters like the Lord I mean regular Plague Marines).

>>54668185
You're wrong. The biggest is standing straighter than the Primaris Marines and is still half a head shorter.

>>54668207
I literally own the fucking box and have set them side by side.

>>54668221
As do I, and you're wrong.

>>54658211
Cadia is destroyed lad, there will be no other cadians.

You think the Blood Ravens will ever get their own regular marine transfer sheet again? I'm digging the primaris BR but my regular boys need love too.

>>54638570
>I think Primaris take a page from the tacticool modern space soldier look. I doubt it's going to affect regular marines.

Yeah because Regular marines are getting squatted

>>54628907
>third rate knock-off of the dark angels with special snowflake fluff
>liking the Knights Templar more than the Knights Hospitaller/Teutonic Knights.

Reminder that there is no in-universe height difference between Primaris and non-Primaris marines; no artwork depicts them being of different size. It's just the models.

>>54658211

All I ever wanted was a full line of Tallarn. But no, there is no goodness in the world.

>>54653974
Boy I sure love a decade old kit with 70% unusablz material. We can only use heads, pads and bitz. Can't use the weapons or the chests, which are arguablt what makes BT discernable from afar.
That kit is far from being as usefum as the others.

haha for a second there I thought someone converted a johnny five into a space marine

>>54671362
What? The chests are super useable (at least on regular marines) and so are the weapons (as long as you are playing melee crusader squad which is what you ARE doing as Templars right?)

>>54637791
That decal is standard SM decal.

>>54647471
Regular marines can become primaris marines
and also time is relative now in Imperium, were weeks pass in one part of Imperium in other parts years passed.

Its quite easy to separate the Hobbyists from the wannabe hobbyists. The hobbyists receives news of a new release and sees the possibility he has of creating new models for his army. He looks at a box art cover and separates each and every miniature in to parts of arms, legs, torsos, heads and extras. From this he uses his imagination to create a sketch of what he wants, he goes through his bits box and search the net for extra parts to complete his project. And when he is ready to field his models, it really is HIS models, he made them just the way he wants to! Adding or removing extra bits until he is satisfied.

The wannabe hobbyist on the other hand, can easily be spotted as a person who sees a box cover and doesn't like the look. He instantly goes online and tells everyone how the new release is shit, by the simple fact that he himself said so. As he has no real interest in this hobby, part form the few hours of mathhammer and an occasional game with his grey blob once every month or so, he cannot understand the perspective of the real hobbyists.

This last part is you anon, and I think you know this. On top of that, your trying to hard to play the chivalric warhammer hipster card and explain to us why the old models where so much better.... And in short, it wont work, because you are not a hobbyist. In the end it would be like listening to someone who has no idea what he´s talking about, trying to convince a crowd who knows what he´s trying to talk about.

Yea, they don't fit the bill at all!
Just kidding, your a grognard and you know it.

Are Chaos getting Primaris as well?

Also, can Night Lords actually hurt Orks? Seems like having Morale 30 is immune to even the powerful -3.

>>54671213
I'm pretty sure the codex explicitly says Primaris are bigger. The implants description says it makr them bigger anyway.

>>54671857
Apart from that one guy who said in a stream once, where has it ever been said normal marines can become primaris? I've been seeing this fort months but no proofs.

>>54671540
Primaris my man. I was talking about Primaris. I'm also seriously annoyed by the fact that the only CC unit of the Primaris is a stealth/terror force.

>>54672126
Not that we're aware of, however, thr new kits are obviously bigger to keep up with Primaris, with the justification that they're on Chaos roids and veterans of the long war, although the CSM codex is said to have a "Renegade Chapters" section.

>>54632573
Reivers are already /k/ marines. They're basically ODST from Halo complete with the skull masks

Honestly I think it was time, a lot of 40ks original designs were inspired by real world equivalents (the Chimera was the Soviet BMP for instance). GW needed to introduce some newer concepts like war on terror-era special ops

>>54672302
>They're basically ODST from Halo
>newer concepts like war on terror-era special ops
I mean, ignoring the fact that stormtroopers are already that, sure.

>>54629290
fluff wise it makes no sense that they would, but gamewise they have to in order to stay relevant

>>54672327
nobody cares about guard anymore anon

>>54672373
Scions are the hot dog right now, actually. Them and their space MRAP are pretty bonkers.

>>54636499
Oh ya, Tau is getting stuff sometime near future

>>54628808

It's because 40k is no longer grimdark.

Now it's just another fantasy-futuristic setting

>>54672278
That is true.

And hence why I have NO interest in Primaris and vaguely hope they are relegated to a few elite choices in a year or two.

>>54637791
It's the designation for a primaris with an Iron Halo

>>54641217
Why not both?

Fuck off you smug cunt, just because you can make any model potentially usable doesn't make it worth the effort.

None of the Primaris releases are of an appropriate scale to be used as bits for anything other than more Primaris. Even if I were to put up with that, the new armor marks are very distinctly Primaris-only mark x and gravis and to try and make it look like a different mark would take an excessive amount of effort.

Moreover none of the intercessors have the level of detail and bling that I demand from my space marines. The new kits are boring, every piece of them is boring, and for the effort it would take to make them interesting I might as well just sculpt a new model myself with greenstuff.

are the Reiver bitz compatible with the Intercessor bitz? I'm asking because of the close combat arms.

>>54679029
you can only put shoulder pads on right arms, the left one has small shoulder pad already on that wont let you put a regular pad on.
