Considering primaris armor is basically true scale MKIV maximus armor from 30K they work just fine, the bulky gravis armor could stand in for terminator armor. most of the vehicles as already noted work just fine as their pre-primaris versions. you only get a few rubs with units like inceptors that do not have an equivalent in normal marines.

No sane group of oldhammer players would demand you buy the old models to play. we play the older versions because the game play is more fun to us not to keep up with the GW meta train.

ITT there's a big kerfuffle over how Death Guard are supposed to play older editions. Meanwhile I'm helping my DG-playing buddy homebrew rules to use his new stuff in 5th Ed.

When the edition isn't dependent on stratagems and special rules, I find that making appropriate stats for newer units isn't too difficult- plenty of reference material to draw from. Points is another matter entirely, but we're not playing competitively and can always revise as needed.

It depends on which edition you are using as core. in most cases DG just get an extra T and classic FNP(4+ but does not work against double toughness weapons/AP1&2 weapons) along with all the gifts of nurgle.
