Well ask DE and ork players how that feels. That's what the NPC races have to deal with.

But marines aren't an NPC faction, they are the big money maker for GW, so unlike with other factions making the marine players unhappy can impact GW. The few orc players, who often already own an orc army, not buying more stuff isn't tragic. If a big chunk of marine decided they do not want to buy all the new primaris models,some people at GW could run in to problems.

Well if that chunk of marine players decides to change their army into a xeno one that would be a huge money maker for GW. So screw marines, make them unplayable so lots of players will buy tons of new armies

True. Now get rid of all jump pack options from SM HQs since there's no way of getting them outside proxies, kitbashing or conversions.

Only one that would go away is librarian. Captains and chaplains have jump pack version.

Well the model with the axe ins't a real SM captain, I think it's more like a leader of the assault squad. Anyway since the model has the axe, now in his datasheet he can only have the axe. No more smash jump pack captains with hammer and shield anyway

But the jump pack captain should be limited to just a power axe for wargear though.

yep, nothing like having my Kustom made Warboss on Bike with Lance turned into a useless model that I can only use in legends games.

Or my KFF Big Mek on Bike, or my Painboy on bike or my weirdboy on bike. etc etc.

Nope, you can't use your warboss on warbike at all outside of a proxy for Zardsnark.

Unlike for all other biker characters, there is no entry for him in legends so all our biker warbosses are useless models now.

Yeah, they have just become nob bikers if they ride the regular ork bike like my warboss, or maybe deffkilla wartrikes if they were conversions on much bigger bikes or maybe the original FW model which is much bigger than a regular biker.
