Another reason I don't like them. There is a time and a place for cute, and it's not "The 41st Milennium" or "The Battlefield of"

I like the aggressors, they are like less-fat terminators.

Aggressors look awesome, I think the Grimdark issue some have is because they are painted in Ultramarine blue which is super squeaky clean looking.

I like the aggressors, they look a lot like walking tanks to me, which is something I like.

So now that oblits don't have power fists, we'll give power fists to a marine oblitalike?

Yeah, exactly like Obliterators. Except consistent and thus better. Like any other analogy between C:SM and CSM.

Exactly like oblits, except you know not having a 2+ armor save, or an invul save, and having a COMPLETELY differant weapons load out, about the only thing I see in common is they come in packs of 3

I love the Aggressors. The fists only look big because they have a gun built into them so from some angles they do look oversized. Overall, I like all of the Primaris kits we've seen. I really need to pick up one of the Libbies at some point as they really look badass. The Reivers kit looks amazing as well although I'm not entirely sold on the stripped-down armor.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

Aggressors... so close but man that seems to miss the mark.

Now what is up with the loin cloth clacker??
Having a case with bones on display there will only set them up for ridicule.
Almost as bad as the loin-plate the Centurions have.
BTW, take a good look, remove that one item and they look better:

Notice also the missile launchers are pretty much the same just put on some pivot above the head?
Looks a little gimped.
Honestly, couldn't we have slapped something maybe like this?

Maybe with only one row of missiles so it would be this flat weapon, or did we want to accentuate height?

Is it just me or does it look like they are trying to make a replacement for each "normal" marine unit?

Are the shoulder-pads still the "normal" scale?
They may have been better off going to the terminator sized ones.

Anyway, it could have been much better in my opinion.

Well they are better than Centurions - but not a great deal better....

Aggressors look like old old sloping shoulders terminators.
Hate them.
Worse than centurions.

There's a bunch of stuff in this new line that I'm sure I'll be sculpting my own parts for. But that said, a lot of these just need one or two things changed about them to make them look great.

Even the repulsor should look fine if someone made an alternative to the boring skids on the bottom.

Same thing for the aggressors, I'll probably change how the missiles are carried and that could fix a bunch of what's wrong with them. I mean I already like the Gravis armor, just bolt stuff on that armor in a different way.

I like the models themselves but they chould have been scaled to regular sized marines. I would have been ALOT more accepting of the marine chapters getting new bolter and armour marks.
Don't like were games workshop has gone with this and have a terrible TERRIBLE feeling of forbidding that we will all see our current armies (models) phased out for all new stuff.
Nope can't like it.
