How cool would it be if you could pay points for your characters to become Primaris marines? The reason I thought of it is because I really want to run my primaris chaplain as an interrogator, but can't.
All it'd do is add an extra wound and attack to the character, aswell as giving it the respective Keyword. 30 points for an upgrade sounds good to me.

Also, give the characters more wargear options. Dammit GW! Why are they trying so hard to kill off creativity/ conversions?

A Space Marine captain, compared to a Primaris Marines Captain, is a difference of 13 points. Chaplain to Primaris Chaplain is 13 as well. Librarian and Primaris Librarian are the same cost.

30 point upgrade for characters is rather steep. And in my opinion, I'd rather that the Space Marine characters are left alone. Let Telion and Calgar and Dante remain as they are. Give Primaris Marines their own characters.

But in your case of Dark Angels, you'll most likely have to wait for the Dark Angels Codex to come out. Given that Interrogator Chaplain is a Dark Angels unique model/ unit.

The rumor was that you could play any marine as a numarines.
Dunno how that actually works out though I also think that all marines should have two wounds base except for scouts and be costed slightly higher.

I did not check the differences in cost between primaris characters and their mini equivalents, but now that I know, 30 I'd a bit steep :p I was also speaking about generic characters, as even troops if anything.

I also do think marines should have had 2 wounds to begin with. At the moment, a Tau stealth suit is capable of going toe to toe with a space marine and winning -_- the quicker the segregation of marines ends, the better.
