I DON'T like that the Imperium Mega-Faction is getting more units already. They really, really don't need more options. Comparatively speaking, other factions are tiny and really could use more options.

I'm curious about this Gretchinz game. It definitely has card game elements, but are there actual models of Grot vehicles that you drive on those card tracks? It sounds fun either way but it'd be cool if they used that as a way to sneak some fun new models in.

Waaaaay too many guns, turret looks exceptionally daft. But, that chassis is pretty cool.
Looks approximately as dumb as a Predator, and not nearly as dumb as a Land Raider, and positive amazing compared to the Taurox. At least GW's not pretending to make a "tank" designed by someone who has no idea how armored vehicles actually work. This is a sci-fi hover vehicle! Looks like a cool toy. Less weapons that that slowed Land Raider with bolters glued all over it.

GW did say that this year will be mostly Imperium and Chaos releases, but next year is supposed to be more Xenos. We'll have to see about that.

I expect that we'll continue to see Primaris releases until they're a relatively fleshed-out army to support their upcoming codex and encourage people to build a full army. Their transports already don't carry old Space Marines, so they really need to buff them out so they don't just feel like an add-on to a regular marine army.

I actually quite like that. I think the base could be a bit bigger and I don't mind the missile pods everywhere as it looks like they have a more utilitarian function - maybe frag launchers? The only thing I'm not sold on is the stubber-looking gun - if it is a stubber, then why? I love heavy stubbers but it seems off for Marine Marines - right?

That's exactly why I like the turret and tank, it feels like a proper IFV for the Primaris Marines. I'll just keep the covers down on the turret missiles, make it look more like extra stowage.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
