I'll grumble a bit on how they've got early heresy colours for late heresy armour...
That’s easy to fix though. Just follow the guide then at the end dunk the entire mini face-first into a tub of Blood for the Blood God. Or use the toothbrush flick technique if you want to go against type and do that “subtle” thing …
I believe they are referencing the alternate scheme certain World Eaters began to adopt as the fell further into Khorne's embrace. The blue was replace by red, either through paint or blood. It's not a hard and fast rule though and the blue/white is more recognisable.
To be honest, I 100% expect (when GW puts out the World Eater codex) for there to be plenty of warbands using the blue and white armour scheme rather than the traditional red and brass - just like they did with the Death Guard.

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

Yeah that’s completely plausible. I wonder if they will have at least some of them still bitter as feth about Khârn’s “betrayal” and paint their armour to appear sooty and burned.?

It's not like the designs of the old metal marines were ultra-consistent to begin with, and it shouldn't need to be pointed out that the relative scale of them, being both hand-sculpted and teensy compared to modern Marines, didn't exactly NEED additional greeblies to break up large, relatively flat armour panels.
They're simply details. Maybe a simple access panel to allow the armour to be put on/taken off, maybe some kind of noise suppression thingy, who knows?
I've also decided that I'm going to buy and box and paint them in Tamiya's transparent candy red and adorn them as Flesh Tearers, with the justification that they're a representation of a Second Founding chapter right at its birth, so carrying a whole bunch of pre-Heresy elements over. I basically just wanted to paint candy red, and I didn't want to do Blood Angels or Word Bearers, and I already have a force of (blue) Thousand Sons, so that's that.

There's been a few indications here and there that, for some Legions, their second founding chapters are existing Chapters within the legion's organization (effectively a Chapter is what we'd probably call a regiment or battalion, a level of organization for companies). Iirc, this came up particularly with the Ultramarines destroyer Chapter in the Roboute Primarch novel.
In any case 'Flesh Tearers' could very well be an informal name for a unit that's been operating independently for a while under a separate expedition fleet or some such.
Also there's the fact that 'official' color schemes are part of the Codex Astartes, which doesn't exist yet. (though it also has camo patterns and distinct environmental color schemes that GW doesn't talk about anymore).
Man, I started watching this video and it's just awful.

but his rambling diatribe (and the comments on the video) are a huge turn off, and remind me why I never got into 30k in the first place - the online negativity for 30k is absolutely bonkers. It's like there's a weird cultish subset of Heresy players that hate GW, hate other players, and hate themselves. The rambling about "toxic positivity" is insane... I think he's purposefully confused good marketing and what appears to be a very good product in order to frame it as a personal attack on what he views is his personal game.
I'm not even sure if there's actual criticism or analysis of reactions in this video as I had to exit before it was done: the fact he completely doesn't understand what I Go You Go is and confuses it with Alternating or Interleaved is like a big warning that any opinions that follow will almost certainly be not worth listening to. Blech

The comments on the video are hilarious, and show just want kind of player he's catering to, like this gem: "[in reference to stratagems].....They slow down the game SO MUCH because they make me think of more options. Some if my best moments in 40k is when both players are out of Command Points and able to just have at it, usually towards the end of a game. There's no mess, no second guessing, just play. "

I really wish they showed some higher res images of the army displays, they put all this effort into getting the community to paint these models which I think is great, but for so many of them I can't find a decent quality set of photos of them.

I got just one question to you - Are you gonna go with or without the Rogue Trader helmet stripe on the beakies?

I mean no one is forcing them to personally use stratagems or reactions so it seems like a real non-issue to just not do the thing you don't like?

They're rather central to 2.0, IE you'd be tossing it a lot of rules for each legio, in addition to all the core ones. Some of which replace USR's from 1.0, so the thought is to just stick with 1.0 and buy whatever plastics from the new stuff.

yeah I noticed that too. the thing that makes reactions intreasting is they add a measure of "... well if I do X.. what if he does Y?" to the decision making process. whch is a hell of a lot more intreasting then "I move my squad up, kill his squad etc" In Battletech, a game with alternating activation one of my most common tactics is to deliberatly use a unit as BAIT
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two
Is it even possible to paint beakies without the stripe? I thought it was pretty much required.
Obviously, people can paint their models as they like, but it just doesn’t seem like Mk. VI without it.
The other question is do you stripe all the way down the nose, or just stop at the top? I just do partials myself.
No, there is no rule in the game that requires you must paint your models a specific way. That would be beyond asinine.
I took this a a personal preference question, not a rules one. You are correct, there is not requirement to stripe.
But there is a lot of history there.
Actually it was I who misunderstood what you were saying. Upon re-reading it I see you're referring to how it would feel to not have them as they were portrayed in the past. I can't really speak to that, but I prefer the mono-color for these HH marines. One thing I can't stand is how many black armored chapters there are though, surely they could have tossed some orange or aqua in there...

I'd be fine with the reactions if there were wayyyyyyy more limitations and less ways to get around those limitations. Or if the limitations were generic for all armies across the game.
The only way to get around restrictions on reactions is having the Warlord trait and its only as long as the Warlord is alive. If someone is keeping their Warlord alive just to keep an extra reaction then that's a waste.
