Also see: Scions, I am pretty sure they're GW latest release of humans not in PA, and they're larger than Cadians.

Well Primaris are already set up lore wise to have chaos counter parts, Cawl was wanting to use traitor legion gene seed to make primaris as well, so its not a short step to having them turn as well. Im betting by 2 years time regular space marines will be what empire is in AoS. Sure they still make models and acknowledge their existence in the lore, but you will never see a new release for them ever again.

As for the easiest way to get back in, if your not really to worried about the cash, Knights. 4 knights comes out to about 2k points and they are pretty damn reliable now so.

Oh... so Cawl did make Traitor-gene Primari?

That actually seems the biggest loss to fluff you could have is the swap shop scenario you suggest (and makes sense), these new Traitor Primari would not have 10 millennia of backstory. New types of SMs fine, there's new foundings all the time (in the grand scheme of things) but the CSM are what they are because of their ancient lineage. And it would be pretty idiotic for them to be created in the first place, certainly by the Imperium but that's never stopped the writers before. Just reading the overview of the Beast novels made my head hurt.

But whatever yeah taking AoS into account yeah that makes sense and once they push through some clunky fluff by 2020 both will be biggun'

Also I've just remembered a friend who moved to work at GW HQ mentioned casually some time ago they planned on making SMs more to scale.

He also mentioned Nottingham cabbies refer to GW HQ as "the Fuhrerbunker"

*sighs* Cawl experimented with tratiro geneseed yes. but he may not have produced it. it's lost up in the air. I take that as more a throw away line that "if your custom chapter that is secretly "loyalist word eaters wants Primarsi Marines, we have you covered" then any grand statement of intent to give us chaos primaris Marines.
