Hi guys,
I have just seen (eventually) all the new content and units in high quality, and I must say : those primaris look neat !
I have to say: FINALLY !
Do you now see why we were complaining about lack of gothic aesthetic earlier ? With models such as those, I could (and maybe will one day...) make a full primaris Black Templar army worthy of its predecessors. There isn't a lot to say, they are great sculpt with a beautiful aesthetic and I can finally see me buying primaris.
Has any of you noticed that / changed his mind ?
Having seen the new turret/quadbike my mind has definitely changed. I went from "I'm not a fan but they look alright" to "they're awful and I hate them".
The only new thing I've seen recently I like is the Starcraft ripoff.

Ok I didn't know I was late AGAIN and indeed, they newer new space marines are awful. Oh, Throne, why...

Because gw hired a bunch of old Hasbro designers to make the new primaris vehicles.
Ok, sorry, I apologize. Some of those old G.I. Joe toys looked way better than these.
The quadbike just looks silly to me, it's all blocky and comes off cartoonish. Both the bike and turret seem stupid because the quadbike seems like a land speeder but worse and the turret is a manual version of the existing auto turret so you just waste a marine manning it.

You mean the Autoturret that has worse shooting? Yeah not really a waste if the shooting is better.
Also all the Marine vehicles are blocky.

It really is, I'm talking background. A computer system to aim and fire costs a tiny amount compared the investment of a Primaris marine who is largely wasted sitting on a turret. It's silly and the only reason for it is because GW want to make new models but can't be arsed putting effort into it.
The quadbike looks like a series of random blocks stacked together. Other things do not. Look at the Rhino, it looks like it can be stored with very little wasted space in blocks. The quadbike doesn't.

I don’t think there are any rules or points/real cost that would get me to pick up that quad bike. Not a fan of the look.
The turret I don’t mind. Does not fit with the marine MO of warfare. While I’m sure there is a time and place for static guns, if I want long range firepower, I’ll take a squad of suppressors, or an old dev squad. Still, if the price is right I might grab one or two. Or kitbash my own out of random bits.
Still sold on the content of the big box. The question is do I just get one for myself, or one for The Boy as well? If this is the limited version, that implies there might be a slightly more reasonable version later. But what the follow up contains is still an unknown, and likely will be so they can sell as many of this box as they can.
As someone who dislikes Marines in general all I can say is I'm enjoying watching how awful the new non-character marine models are. At least they make the newcron stuff look somewhat good by comparison. Except those toilet bowl guys.

Yeah and Marines waste a whole Techmarine for a TFC instead of using a computer. Your point?

Nah, I go to into Primaris for the sleek looks of the first waves. I like clean armour, not taberknackles. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the over the to
Crusader look, but I a man glad folks that like that kind of stuff get theirs. Then again, I am a Raptors player and will adapt. I will concert my sword and shield dudes with third party stuff.
I am loving the bikes and the buggy though. The latter is all kinds of awesome.

Tbh the thunderfire cannon is still a new model and another stupid idea that didn't even fit the aesthetic and background

That it's a really stupid thing to do in both cases. This is just worse because it's more OH LOOK PRIMARIS THEY'RE SO COOL AND GREAT rather than actually giving a damn.

Marines ALWAYS had portable artillery such as Mole Mortars and Trantulas - some controlled some autosenses.
The Turret is ok but the Quad is asthetically bad....

While the turret gun emplacement thing looks pretty cool (though I'm struggling to think of why it exists from a more practical point of view), the new buggy reminded me of something...

This is really a non-complaint then for what you just said then.

Because if something pre-existing is silly it makes sense to make a dumber version?

What's silly about mobile artillery or gun emplacements for the HQ? You're complaining to complain, simple as that.

Mobile artillery isn't silly. Immobile artillery you waste resources on is.
Silly like 8 foot tall super soldiers with thighs thinner than their ankles? Because that's been the baseline space marine since RT.
Silly like my suspension of disbelief finally snaps. Although I've never actually seen a Marines ankles so there's not really a reason that would bother me.

Really disliking them is a good answer
Depends on how difficult it is to set up and take down that turret - may nto be any more diffucult than standard artillery. Wasting a Techmarine using it is a different matter - would have prefered a servitor

Personally I'd make it into a near dead marine built into it. Not everyone can go into a dreadnought.

I don't think GW knocked it out of the park with every model, but most of those models are great. As a dark angels player seeing primaris bikes and terminator-ish models means that my deathwing and ravenwing are going to expand. Also heavy weapon gravis (because this is undoubtedly just one config, similar to eliminators) is marvelous. All of the HQ look wonderful, as does the ancient. The only thing in the 9th edition collectors box I'm not over the moon about is the intercessors with chain sword and heavy bolt pistols, because I can't see them being anything but reivers that can't deepstrike.
Still looking forward to the box.
