I think phasing out Firstborn was DEFINITELY the plan about 5 or 6 years ago, but they received such a huge backlash from the death of Fantasy and the introduction of Primaris that they re-evaluated their stance.

I feel like Firstborn is now the realm of Chaos and Horus Heresy. I don't think they'll be adding more Firstborn to 40K for the Imperium.

I think it's inevitable that they will be phased out, but that will be a long time coming.

Obviously, it's your money, time and hobby so do with it what you please.
