Brand New Marneus Calgar! (The fourth version of him!) Oooh, ahhh.
And here's Generic Chaos Lord Bob Nobody for him to smush!
Had the opportunity to drop two bombs on us and show us a new Abaddon and make us all drop our jaws....but nope. Generic Chaos Lord Bob Nobody.
Oh but look, here's a video with loads of Raptors! - yay, useless assault troops with 1 attack base!
Bleh.
Well, now that we know how the campaign ends - haha Feth You Chaos - let's look at the other interesting things.
GSC Bikers - very nice. Slap in the face to IG players who have wanted human scale bikes forever when they realise the one unit that could use these are Index only. Sad days.
Daemons - I'm neutral. Bout time they got rid of the odd units that were still finecast and fugly but I really want to see more Slaanesh stuff. Getting a bit antsy here.
Read the article.
That chaos nobody is supposed to drop the planet for the warmaster in 80 days. Probably not gonna happen so abaddon will come to Vigilus to try and break it

Little did we know that this was all subterfuge to keep us distracted whilst they very slowly made regular Marines less and less prominent, until all marines are Primaris Marines. Next step is just making Primaris Marines into just Marines, with no specific distinction.
Frankly that end result bothers me a lot less than the silly process. Everyone who's not a bit wonko already knows where this is going, skip to the sodding end already.

People thought the Slaanesh release would be made more PG-13, now we have a Daemonette playing a dude’s insides as a harp
Its always amused me in a setting with an actual god of murder, violence and taking the skulls of your victims. That the part some people think needs toning down, is the god of getting loaded and having a good time

The art for the new space marine book/mini-codex has a female character. The hope is that it's a primaris marine so the world can burn. The more likely explanation is that it's an inquisitor or similar who is a major character in the book.

As I said before, it’s just the main character of the novel, a female serf.

Yes it does.
Heroes series 1 came out in Japan in September 2017, that is after the Primaris marines, thus it is a fact they are newer. Series 2 came out a few months ago so again, newer than and after Primaris marines.
Series 1 have just had a regular release in GW shops and independents worldwide, series 2 will get some at some point.
In short you are wrong, and the main GW studio is still making normal loyalist marines.
As if FW.
No amount of goalpost changing and ‘cause reason’ can change that

Oh it’s beautiful! And the video was shot upstairs in The Sal, one of my fave pubs!
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
Nope. He's just to busy looking and worse he's a marine-let. Having gone Primaris I can't go back to tiny marines. Hopefully, when Emperors Children finally do come out they'll have parts worth bits ordering; because if their manlets I won't buying entire kits, then.
And you know this, how? The new CSM from BF are almost as big as a Primaris. This guy could be scaled to them for all you know.
Pic for reference
Its probably best to just ignore people that say manlet/marinelet at this point since they can't be bothered to research and find that the new chaos minis only stand like 2mm shorter than their precious Cawl Monkey Marines. Which makes perfect sense until Fabius designs his own Monkey Marines or GW decides that the warp gives them and their armor growth spurts on top of the normal mutations you see.
I was joking calling them manlets I know their bigger. But being 2mm shorter than Primaris is the same as the Deathguard and Thousand Son models, and at this scale its significant. Look at the picture you posted and look how thin that CSM limbs and torso are in comparison. If your happy with them that's fine. The Primaris being taller with larger limbs and broader torsos in my opinion have better looking proportions.

It’s been an incredible year for long-time Warhammer fans – who’d have thought we’d ever see another Squat, or plastic Rogue Traders? – and it’s about to get even better. Here’s the news, courtesy of Warhammer 40,000-themed band Deep Strike:
Your eyes and ears have not deceived you. That was, indeed, a Noise Marine on a bright green flock base – reborn for a new generation. Seriously, get a good look:
This special celebratory miniature is based on Jes Goodwin’s original sketches and classic Noise Marine models, and will be on shelves in time for Christmas.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

That Noise Marine is a one-off right? That's not a new unit. That's a single mini, right?

They aren't. The blindbox Marines are not a regular Marine release. They have never been a regular Marine release. They will never be a regular Marine release. They're not even the same scale, being slightly taller than actual regular Marines.
They were made to test a market, using a type of sales strategy that works well in Japan (and among kids toys these day, for some inexplicable reason*). They proved popular enough that GW decided they could sell them in their general stores.
But they are no more a 'regular' Marine release, or proof that regular Marines will carry on, than the beginner kits using the old Ork vehicles are examples of GW keeping ancient Ork models (and Terminators from the 2nd Ed Space Hulk days) in regular production. They're not regular releases by any stretch of the imagination. They are specifically designed for a type of market, to appeal to a specific demographic of shopper (much like the Conquest magazines), but people buy them anyway.
*I'm not kidding. Watch kids toy ads these days, especially girls toys. So many blindbox collectable things. It's weird.

This has to mean new noise marines are pretty soon in the future right? I'd imagine some people might be upset if they are waiting for the actual release and GW only releases this one

Earlier they said they had a couple more things to show. We get the noise marine. What’s the last one? Maybe something to do with Sisters.
Marneus does nothing for me but the other reveals have been pretty great. The bikers are especially cool.
