This is different. Having basic Primaris in
GKs breaks the whole special flavour of Grey Knights. They are supposed to all be Psykers for a start.
As for Dark Angels, it's been addressed in the Codex and novels to a degree. For a start the majority of the chapter is not aware of the big secret, so for most Primaris it's no different to any other normal Dark Angel. Officers aren't even automatically in the Inner Circle. It's stated there are currently no Primaris in the Deathwing but that it's only a matter of time - it's been about 100 years since they were introduced so they've had time to prove their loyalty to a degree.
But there is already fluff in place stating that ‘regular’ Marines can get Primarified. They don’t need to have basic Primaris Intercessors in the
GK. They could just write in that new the old
GK got Primarified and the new ones are all put through Primaris Induction, and then release some bigger basic models. Now everyone is Primarised. Done.
Same thing with the Dark Angels. Either say it’s been a hundred more years and there’s loads of Primaris everywhere of say that all the higher-ups got Primarised.
There is no such fluff.
There is not a single example of a regular marine being turned into a primaris. Not in any codex, white dwarf, forgeworld or black library fluff.
Actually in war of secrets multiple marines that were around in the horus heresy are now primaris.
That is not true.
I've read war of secrets, I have no idea how you got that impression. It is entirely false.
The vast majority of the Cawl made Primaris were taken from terra and mars over the millenia, and were human recruits not already marines.
The few Primaris who were from legion recruiting worlds, the ones focused on in the dark imperium books, were not already marines when they were taken to be Primaris. They were just human recruits as well.
