We get it. You're edgy and don't like either change or Primaris Marines.

Breotan's post should come with a Seinfeld laugh track.

I actually saw someone comment "yawn" in the Warhammer community post revealing everything... Some people just hate everything.

Well its more Marines, nice looking Marines, but still, some people have little to no interest in Marines.

TBH, I'll probably convert the Primaris to CSM (the psyker could become a sorcerer). Are there any Chaos units that the snipers could be made into?

Well to all the marine haters out there, i have an idea just send em my way lol. Have a 6 yr old lad that loves anything marines and I think these look pretty sweet.
On a serious note I really do like the look of the primaris marines and the cut down armour that gw are selling. Those snipers will make a great addition to my marines . Yes and in camo aka rogue trader era .

I like Marines quite a bit.

I dislike Primaris Marines though.

I just want to see the rest of the box now please! Already put a few quid into my PayPal balance to start saving for that set.

I love it all. I hope those new marines get some sweet new kill team rules too.

This is the first box set... well, ever, that I actually like and want both halves.

AOBR for Orkz, Dark Vengeance for CSM, Dark Imperium for Death Guard.

I kinda fell for Primaris after reading Dark Imperium and starting a Killteam from the easy to build intercessor kits, and those Sniper Marines fit right into my sniper scout collection.

Pffff, you just hate change, grandad. Get with the times yeah, full armour and a varied selection of equipment to allow you to adapt a unit to any circumstance or strategy is so last decade, skater shorts-&-Vans-armour and monobuilds are totes in right now, and as everyone knows only novelty and the transitory social acceptance that comes from adhering to the fashions of the moment have any value.

I mean I would be estatic if the released a Ynnari preview. So that they finally are their own thing and not stupid soup lists.

I would love to see new eldar models. But Black Legion needed their update badly. I hope this means we will see more of the great enemy. Chaos Space Marines have been needing an upgrade for a long time.

I am hoping most of them aren't just monopose like dark imperium. I hope they are as customizable but beautiful looking.

I'm sure they'll stop calling them primaris eventually... at some point they will call them just "marines" and if you ask what about the old marines they'll go all "what 'old' marines? Marines are marines"

I don't really see that happening, unfortunately. It seems like the era of non-monoposes has come to an end.

Well there they would've made sense, but as Primaris?

Crawl did say he’d prepared Primaris from all twenty legions...

Personally I like everything I’ve seen so far. I had a massive downer on GW for a while but everything I have seen in the last few years has been spot on. Yeah some things are better than others and I certainly have my preferences, but in general things seem to be better now than they have for over a decade... And these Chaos Marines just look great; now my line troops won’t look like they’re from a different range of models compared to my Dark Vengeance Chosen. And from the glimpses we saw of Abbadon... just wow!

I find it interesting the “Primarised” Chaos Marines don’t get Bolt Rifle type Weapons but instead keep the old Bolter proportions/appearance.

Zoom in on the marine shooting behind the librarians sword in the artwork, that looks like some sort of rotary barrel to me?

They aren't Primarised??? They are just better scaled in line with Rubrics and Plague marines...

I so wish they'd have Priamaris proportions. I don't like the "upgraded super-duper Mareens" background, but I sure love those actual legs connecting their bodies to the ground. CSM/DG/TS still have somehwat stumpy thighs.


That said, I like them enough to get them and hack their legs up to, sigh, "true scale" them a bit more IF there's a kit with legs not covered in multiple layers of bits. Resculpting one holster/loincloth/whatever per dude is enough, given how (C)SM are still fielding tons of bodies for such elite guys. Who am I kidding, with the incredible psyker and maybe Noise Marines and Berserkers coming up, how could I not redo my Word Bearers from 3.5...but I'll keep the Diaz demonettes and metal 'letters.


The Primaris are pretty nice as well.

Yeah. It's already like that in my head.

When are they going to show off this box set?! My peepee is tingling to see the possible new possessed models!

Yeah because unit specialization to make sure a unit doesn't suck at a job is a bad thing, huh?

Also what do you mean full armor? They all have it besides Scouts, which aren't Primaris.

I loathe the fluff behind the primaris, and I also loathe their lack of customisation. But I must say that most of them are stunning. Really like this ''vanguard'' force, especially the librarian

Yep, they look absolutely great.

Yeah. It's already like that in my head.

I still divide them in my head. My Original Six (Pedro Kantor and a Lascannons Devastator Squad) that have been in my army for almost five years now will never get lumped in with the Primaris. But I am looking forward to the Eliminators since they will be functionally replacing the Scouts that used to be part of my army at the very beginning. They will be fluffed that they ARE the Scouts from long ago, just upgraded to Primaris.

I just hope that the Eliminators and the Librarian have the ability to use a regular helmet. The way they are right now isn't the end of the world, but why they protect the least essential area of the head and leave their domes free to absorb all manner of projectile is beyond me. I might need to take some regular Mk X helmets and add the goggles to the eyes somehow (the guy on the left in the image on War Com has the right idea). I might just smooth the forehead of the Librarian out and paint it normal helmet color. It likely won't be noticeable.

I am looking forward to seeing what other items are in the box. Hopefully there are more Fast Attack and Heavy Support choices coming. The Scouts are likely either Troops or Elite(the right Eliminator has a Fire Support symbol on his knee so maybe they are heavy Support?!) Same with the other Vanguard Primaris. Troops, Fast Attack, and Heavy Support only have one choice so far. It is time for some more in each. Not everything needs to be a damned Elite (Reivers should have been FA anyway). I imagine the rest of Primaris Round Two likely will have a tank of some sort.

But how do you scream baldly with a helmet?

I imagine through the gaping hole in the cranium.

I'm with you on preferring full helmets. It also has the added benefit of less flesh tones to paint, and eliminates the risk of derpy eyes

I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out. But in the (presumed)box art, there is a vanguard marine below the Librarian and the possible Captain who has a Lieutenant badge on his shoulder. He is also packing what looks like a extra(power?) blade/sword and Grav chute vanes.
