I haven't kept up with 40k since like 011 and the 5th ed so I know i'm a slowpoke at this.
I just got wind that the cannon is finally being moved up and a 2nd generation of Space marines is out that are oddly less grim dark and more Halo/spartan master chief in look tech wise. All of this lore wise being new innovations.
These nuMarines are less focused on close range tactics, getting shit done and because they are newly developed, not as suicidal and willing lose vast numbers in glory charges.
This all sounds oddly like GW took a page out of the reasonable marines.
Is the imperium finally coming out of the dark ages?

Age of Sigmar happened for 40k and now kids are the main target for GW to sell bigger upscale models aka toys
40k is no longer grimdark and there are only three main factions, chaos, imperium and the other guys.

Magnus got revenge on the Space Wolves, Cadia blew up, the galaxy is torn in half, Ynnead is real and Guilliman is back on action.

The Primaris Astartes

That is because most of them came from the ending of the HH. They and Guilliman are asking WTF went wrong with the Imperium.
>Is the imperium finally coming out of the dark ages?
Guilliman hopes so, but the Abbadon/Chaos wankfest is on full force.

Not really.
>more Halo/spartan master chief in look tech wise.
Not at all. They're just bigger Marines.
>These nuMarines are less focused on close range tactics
Nope. One of their biggest advantage over the old types of Marines is their improved strength.
>not as suicidal and willing lose vast numbers in glory charges.
They typically have the same character as their parent chapter. So if they like glory charges then so will the Primaris.
>This all sounds oddly like GW took a page out of the reasonable marines.
Not even a little. These are essentially Mariner Marines, bigger, tougher, eliter.
>Is the imperium finally coming out of the dark ages?
It would if it could.

The only stuff that wasn't ever for kids was the specialist shit like Battlefleet gothic and Inquisitor
