"All Chapters" - I wonder if that includes Grey Knights?

If at any point we see Primaris Librarians, I don't see why not.

Primaris Libby's exist. ref: the Dark Imperium Novel

I've had a fair few normal marine models lying around half painted for years, I'm thinking about painting them up as opponents for my Orks so need an excuse not to use Primaris!

Silver Skulls

During the Imdomitus Crusade, the lords of the Silver Skulls Chapter made a great show of graciously accepted the gift of Primaris Technology and honoured Guilleman with reciprocal gifts and renewed pledges of brotherhood.
However, spies of the Administratum and Inquisition noted that, decades after receiving this technology, the Chapter has been slow in creating and incorporating Primaris marines into their ranks.
Those that do exist are deployed to fulfil the Chapter's obligations in the most desperate of war zones where attrition rates are highest.

Proponents of Cawl's new methods have dismissed this as mere coincidence, or as evidence of unforeseen difficulties of applying Primaris technology to human genetic variations in the wider galaxy. However, whispered conjecture and rumours in the gloomy alcoves of the Senatorum Imperialis persist regarding what dark future and foul betrayals the Prognosticors of the Chapter have seen the the Primaris's future to make the Silver Skulls so reluctant to employ these powerful new technologies...

My Space Wolves are going to give them some axes and shiny and/or furry, dangly bits, call them "Successor Chapters' then send them packing in the same ships they arrived in.

If they come back to help in a fight at some point they might acknowledge them as Space Wolves Successor Chapters.

I doubt they have the bodies to say no.
I dunno why Cawl doesnt just clone Guilliman 50 times.
Sorry khaos, theres a Guilliman in this sector, you auto lose.
Orks you say, Pfft Blue is better than red, oh theres a gulliman here as well. Gnashing of ork teef.
Eldar turn up to a maiden world. WTF is that blueberry. I dont think Yavraine thought this through.

You actually make a good point. Why wouldn't you just mass clone the Smurfmaster, or the SpAzzEmprah for that matter? Or even better dig up the best naval officers and Solar Macharius and go to town? We know they have the cloning technology ( remember the Imperial Guard clone troops?)

I think Gdubs are hoping everyone ignores that bit. For for a magus mystic, that can make a few new organs, from where, Emperor knows. But its prolly Guilliman.
At a guess its cause its sort of a Tau, rogue trooper, put your brain on a chip, when you die thing.
The DKOK are clones, why there are clones and sick tyranids, that have never been to the galaxy before, but are in the galactic east, and Ymgarl is in the Galactic North west? Ignore that bit too, for the moment.
The Geno Five-Two Chiliadis are gene enhanced.

My chapter and their IG allies have been separated from the IoM since just before the end of the heresy and have only been apart of the IoM proper for the last 300 years. They are very suspicious of the IoM since it has changed so much from what was remembered. Although their home world, system and the neighbouring systems are currently beset by orks, tyranid splinter fleets, chaos uprisings and elder incursions (Local club Meta) they will still refuse Girlymans "gift".

I can see Dante seeing the Sanguinor shaking its head out the corner of his eye. This isnt the hope you I was talking about.
Do not trust the false dues ex.
But, Plot twist, Dantes been sucking his chapters blood to the last mans blood every few centuries.

If they put a great value on how things were during the Great Crusade, why would they refuse Guilliman, particularly when he's trying to change the Imperium to be more like it was back then. If anything you'd think they'd support that endeavor more than most.

Your chapter, your fluff though.

They would be assigned to a (smaller) brother as their Neophyte and be shown the way of the sword and bolter.
If they meet the approval of their Initiate, then they would be accepted into the chapter with full honors and expected to bring glory to the chapter.
I think the only fear is if they do not demonstrate sufficient zeal.
I made my own fluff for my BT's that to curb the Inquisition looking too closely at their numbers, many of the less zealous BT's are sent to them "to be used as they see fit in the name of the Emperor" as volunteers to support their great work.

I could just imagine some as "Black Shields" for the Deathwatch who are more practical than most Space Marine chapters.

As Ultramarine successors and Guilliman loyalists my chapter would totally be down with some super duper Space Marines.

Considering the practically extinct chapter numbers at 59 marines and one cruiser, I would say they'd gladly accept such gifts from the author of the codex which they adhere to so strictly.

My bull**** reason will avoid the fluff that I ignore but also try to stay to the fluff to not accept Primaris Marines that I don't read the lore but assume for.

Thread in a nutshell. Just as confusing.

Haha, what?

The Company of Erik Firewolf, after some warp-timeshift shenanigans, appear on the wrong side of the Cicatrix Maledictum and find an isolated force of Primaris. After fighting together for over 80 years, they're pretty well bonded. When they return to the Nine Worlds for resupply, the Taghmata Hvergelmir scavenges all their tech to add to their libraries, and the Wolf Priests learn the differences between Astartes and Primaris so they can create their own.
Then the Althing, the ruling body of the Lost Companies, decides that they don't trust these new marines so Erik, being a free spirit, takes his Primaris and the rest of his Company and goes back to the Imperium.

Most Companies have no Primaris, the Firewolves do have them.

My (as of yet unnamed chapter) will be comprised entirely of Primaris marines, so they're cool with it. For fluff reasons, I think I might have their chapter master and a few select others be former old marines who received the upgrade, to form a core of experienced fighters to help break them in. That is a thing right? Upgrading old marines into Primaris marines?

After Crawl was revieled to be Alpharius and Omegon in a horse costume, my resurrected chapter of Primaris activated and switched their colors to the Alpha Legion.

Considering my Chapter was the first to get them (Ultramarines) I'd guess they'll be accepted just fine. As for my second Marine Chapter, I'm not sure yet. If I go with Crimson Fists they would happily take those reinforcements. If I go with Blood Ravens they'd probably also happily accept them (assuming Dow 2: Retribution is still considered canon)

My little continent of ultramarines are the last survivors of a battle demi-company that got lost in the warp shortly after Guilliman got poisoned by Fulgrim
(See also, lame excuse to use calth marines for 40k).

Upon translation back into real space; my Chaplain hears of Guilliman's actions, and refusing to accept the possibility of the primarch living, suspecting heretical warp sorcery; my Ultramarines have gone renegade, fighting for humanity, not the Imperium. Primaris marines will be engaged with extreme violence as the epitome of the corruption and poster boys for the demon primach-imposter.

why do you need a fnacy overly complicated excuse to use mk IV armor on a 1st founding chapter?

We are going to attempt to capture some alive, and then hire the services of Fabius Bile.

Interesting. Do you think the Iron Hands as a whole would be willing to accept the Primaris Marines? Do you think the Iron Hand Primaris marines would modify themselves as the current ones do or do you think the addition of the Primaris might be the change in direction that the Iron Hands need?

There is an Iron Hand in Dark Imperium... and he's already replaced at least one hand.

Which seems odd and senseless.

I think my favorites-- BA, Sallies, and RG-- will probably react with suspicion, but accept the reinforcements nonetheless simply because they need them. They're not too divergent from the codex, but they're also not ultramarine successors, so they don't exactly have undying loyalty to robooty.

While not a chapter...

The 85th Scion ''Reforged'': the leadership already doesn't like SM much, they are not going to enjoy those new mutants in PA. The tank and file is going to appreciate the extra support

Krieg 5th Siege: reactions and feelings are for other people

With gratitude and hope. Health and powerful new marines without mutations? It's exactly that need the Guardians of the Night!

My chapter wouldn't even been given them as they were declared renegade added with the fact that it was successor chapter decending from guiliman that screwed over their former homeworld secretis i highly doubt they would accept such an offer even with the situation the chapter is in

Funnuy enough Im a minotaurs guy too and I take the opposite dtance- I see the minotaurs as probably the very first adopters of the Primaris.

Why?

A) counter balance to Roboute. He can call in his Ultras for anything at any time. It's incredibly useful having another pocket Astartes chapter that answers to you, and not him.

B) like wise the Ultras have just been hugely boosted with tje new Primaris Astartes- it only makes sense to ensure that yournown forces are at at least the same level of capability as your potential enemies.

C) being so closely tied to the high lords means that they can be reinforced immediately, meaning that they probably get access to the very best of the best astartes using thier geneseed...

D) The gene seed of which Ive always liked the thought of being originally World Eater geneseed. Which given that Cawl made Adyartes from all 20 primarchs already makes you wonder if maybe some of the high lords have known what
he was doing for a long time. Some of the other chapters from around the time of the cursed fonding seem alot like prototypes, or experimental releases leading up to this.

E) Or perhaps Roboute himself likes having an extra force of Astartes beyond the Ultras to call upon at his leasure. The Ultras cant be everywhere at once, and the Minotaurs have an excellent skill set. Very much justifiable to give them the primaris treatment.

My Ultramarines will welcome them with open arms.

My Dark Angels will laugh arrogantly and respond by stone-walling them, just like they do for everyone else in the galaxy. DA's don't play no gak.

My 10k pts of Dark Angels have decided not to allow Primaris Marines among their ranks. They have not been privy to the hunt and cannot be trusted with inner circle secrets. I am excited to start collecting a whole new army of Primaris Imperial Fists however now to decide on yellow or blue.

Im in the same boat. I wasnt sure if I wanted to continue down my Crimson Fist route with my Primaris, so I painted a test Imperial Fist and well, its quite a striking scheme....

I think Im going to actually paint up my primaris as Deathwatch because im so indecisive with color schemes.

That, or paint the left half of each Primaris as Crimson Fists, but the other half as another chapter on each mini, cause my Crimson Fists already have marines lent to them from all sorts of chapters (from the Great Marine Swap), so these would be the "returned" Fists from each chapter, their armor painted to honor both chapters.. does that sound too cheesy?
