We're well into a solid hundred and many more years of Primaris crusading around the galaxy. Short of an Emperor's Champ with a Dante-lifespan, any Primaris Emperors Champion may well be as grizzled and crusade-scarred as any non-Primaris Emperor's Champ was in the 6th or 7th Ed. timeline.

Yep. And of course if that old veteran could have gotten a Primaris upgrade via Rubicon.

And the Awoken aren't just initiates that were frozen. Some of them are veterans of the Great Crusade and the Heresy.

There is also a possibility that some of them have even met the Primarch. Probably not Emps himself, but being that old definitely opens the possibility.

Given that the existing Marine heads (Beakies notwithstanding) fit with Primaris Marines, surely that means they work the other way around?

I ask because a few of those Iron Hands heads would look great on a few Iron Hand Deathwatch Marines.

As far as I'm aware, the heads and shoulder pads on Primaris/regular marines are completely interchangeable.

Shoulder pads are, Terminator/Gravis excepted. Almost all space marine heads are interchangable but there are exceptions when it comes to collared models, like the Mk8 in the tactical squad, Sternguard, veteran updates, BT upgrades, Deathwatch Vets and Primaris. The majority of the Mk8 don't fit normal MK7 helmets well at all, and the Deathwatch can only fit their unique, flat face helmets or bare heads. MK8 and MK10 don't fit Beakie helmets whatsoever, the nosecone doesn't allow for it.

Black Templars vs Ork is WRONG it's gonna be SW vs Orks and Templars will be in the second Psychic Awakening book.
According to the guy on the French forum.

I would actually be very very very cool with that.

I'd rather another Ork Character as well - bit of variety.

Ooh interesting, did he have any news on what new units (if any) SW/Orks or Templars could expect?

The only thing that pushes me away from this is the fact that SW and Orks has been done before recently.

Are you guys as shocked as me to see GW posting pictures of non-Primaris marines?

No, but then again I've been paying attention.

I've noticed an approx 50/50ish split for Astartes & Primaris.

My Astartes are about as good as my primaris since the codex dropped. Cant wait till everyone who's getting a supplement gets one. My Salamanders are waiting with bated breath to see what's in store for the 18th.

The Purge of Contqual, I'm so happy to see this old but of fluff again !
No actually GW has been showing lots of old marines these days

I feel like it'll be the same as what they did with Dwarfs in AOS

All the older dwarfs got discontinued. The warriors, thunderers, etc. But the newer, nicer models are still around. I won't be surprised to see the older, squatter marines to go, but the veterans are fairly new and still look great

keep in mind tactical assault and devestator squads are actually a fairly new kit these days.

Scouts and bikers are among the oldest plastic marine kits now. And there is still no plastic techmarine in any form, primaris or otherwise, besides this new named character.

I kinda wish they made this new char a techmarine/iron father dual kit.

Nope, because unless you are part of the "oLd MaRiNeS aRe DeAd" brigade, you will actually see the fact that GW uses Old Marines just as much as Primaris in the new Codex and on their articles as well. On Vigilus, there were several Detachments that REQUIRED Old Marines.

You know, I did not know Iron Hands had white guns. It looks quite nice.

it adds a nice spalsh of colour to them yeah, the first founding chapters are all a bit too.. mono colour

Yeah, it has been their thing for quite a while. The most recent Sternguard kit from like 2013 has them with white guns. It adds some really great contrast for them. I definitely approve.

They've had them at least as far back as the 6th edition codex.

I kinda don't like it. More contrast is great, but RG & BT already had the black-n-white thing covered. I think it would have been better if their guns casing were a bright silver instead. or Maybe just a hint of blue somewhere (as RG/BT also have hints of red, so that's out too)

Ah ok, so its a relatively recent thing. That would explain why I didn't remember them having white guns back in 4th ed.
Its a good change. Makes them stand out from Raven Guard and provides a bit of contrast. I wonder how they did the blue tinge on them, because its not a stark white.

That would go more with the Iron hands thing, yes.

If this is true maybe we are getting some more ork models too? Plastic Kommando/Tankbusters/Lobba/Zzap Gun/Kannons/Deffkopters maybe?

I hope so.

Maybe Gazzy is dual kit with Mega Armoured Warboss?

Maybe Zzagstruk, Snikrot, Wwaagh Banner Nob, Weirdboy, Badrukk or Grotsnik get new models?

Just some ork models we are missing. Possibly something new? Gun trukk, weirdboy tower, mekboy speedsta?

I would actually like it more if it was a complete Left-Field color like the red the Dark Angels use on theirs.

Agreed. I'd go with blue since Red seems well covered as an accent color on so many other chapters. But aside from UMs, blue doesn't show very often.

Yea, we can hope.

Likely just some new rules and not much else.

I wouldn't mind any of the above or a Wazzdakka model or replacement units for those we lost on bikes.

I would take workable Kommandos and Tankbustas kits above any of these,
but this is just me.v

I'm more shocked at how badly kitted the Sternguard are, because MY GOD that's terrible.

Like always, they are trying to show how many cool options are available in the kit. It just so happens that half of those options don't work well together. Like at all.
