It doesn’t mean they have replaced the Scouts if that is what you are thinking

As we already know classic marines are still being made in the current dark imperium timeline, scouts still appear in the fluff and rules, and jes goodwin states in the recent voxcast that scouts are still a thing and vanguard do not replace them.

It just means every 10th company now has a permanent complement of vanguard marines.

It does answer the question of what a 10th company in a pure Primaris chapter consists of though, which is good.

yup, never said they where replacing, just we now know how primaris Marines fit into the scout dichotmy. I imagine wave 3 of Primaris Marines then will be the Primaris "elites"and will make up the Primaris 1st company.

Yea and the Giants confirmed that they were not going to trade OBJ and then did just that three days latter.

Companies and organizations lie, people who work for companies lie and employees themselves may be lied to. GW almost had AOS fail because they pulled the rug on the older range, setting and rules to soon. The axe is coming at some point, it is just dropping slowly and GW is saying nice things while swinging it.

Wolf Scouts better be worried then...

Wolf Scouts are a straight comparison to Reivers.
They both sit in the Elite slot and suck.
At least Reivers are nice kits to make Wulfen out of.

thing is reivers are, as we now know, a piece of the puzzle. and that scouts have been essentially "supplemented" by an entire range of specialist marines

How? I'd love Wulfen that don't look like they were designed by someone about to be fired for drinking on the job.

I doubt they'll get replaced - but who knows at this point. Scouts will be in the next codex - especially with a Scout character / Telion

Yeah because Characters have never ever in the history of GW been canned. -Cries in Vect-

I quite like the Wulfen design, a paint job that doesn't make them look like a monkey face works wonders. I just hate the single point of contact that always breaks.
Primaris Reivers.
