A Town Called Malus wrote:The "these models have been around for 10-20 years, you've had all that time to buy them" argument overlooks that many people have not been playing the game for 10-20 years, or were not playing the armies that these models were for 10-20 years ago. If someone buys their first codex and loves the fluff/model/rules for a "rotated" model, telling them that said model was around for 20 years before they started playing the game and that they should have somehow had the prescience to buy it then is just being a dick.
What people who want to help new players
should tell them instead would be the fact these models were tiny, ugly, had bad details, and looked out of place even next to tactical marines, never mind primaris, and that the sane (and actually better looking/cheaper) option would be to just kitbash them. Or buy them second hand if they must, but really should skip them altogether due to crap material that was really new modeller unfriendly, no matter if metal or resin.
Of course that doesn't fit outrage narrative because that would kept the thread on a single page, better whine and bash endlessly, eh?

Yup. Don't know why people act like this is somehow a contradiction,
AoS did made to order of Alarielle and Nagash from WFB right next to
AoS versions of these characters. Even if say Corbulo gets primaris version,
GW will very much bring him back in his old, gak form occasionally to doubledip.
