You're going to steal my testicles if I click on that link, aren't you?
Primaris marines make the normal ones look silly when they're next to each other.
marines are the cashcow but because they do not change they do not resell
so they needed new marines made cheaper that made the other ones look tiny so that the cows would buy the same shit again but largely worse.
When enough of them move to cover costs they will reintroduce new "manlet marines" who are better than the primaris by a mile so the newbies ALSO have to rebuy. 10th ed cover will be reworked again to further advantage lilbois and they will become the meta once more.
I have said this a thousand times and the manlets are back and it is beginning.
You're referring to the beaky boys?
Aren't they the same size as the Chaos space marines, and generally what is the term that refers to their scale now?
Beaky scale?
I still despise the GK baby carrier and centurions. I will despise primaris tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
they are better than manlet marines and all their flaws are the same present on manlet marines
their only exclusive flaw is being overscaled, like sisters of battle, because they have to be posterboys and sell to impressionable timmy
marines are trash and should be retconned out of the setting
That's as pants on head moronic as saying Star Trek should retcon the fricking Federation out of existence. .
no, it's different: everything in warhammer can still stay up even without space marines, all the themes of the imperium and all the struggles against its opponents
marines are a tumor that does nothing but steal blood from the imperial aesthetics, narratives and history.
you hate primaris marines for the same identical reason every non-marinegay hates marines, the difference is that they're coherent, you're a blind hypocrite.
You are a tumor that steals grey matter.
truth hurts, doesn't it, you underage Black folk?
Honestly you've got shit taste. You shouldn't be using the Black person word if you're going to be this fricking embarrassing.
Cry about it.
f-five years? Already?
They are better than the old ones.
I like the models. Don’t care for the lore that Cawl just had them sitting on ice for 10,000 years
Heretical Abominations
I don't mind primaris lore now that it's had time to sit, but the design of the models has zero soul.
The models are great, especially when they're used alongside and size-mogging regular human infantry.
The lore is gay as frick
jesus fricking christ the time goes fast,for me they just showed up
models too big. oooo big marines hooray. oh but now everyone gets big models, so you truescale sizequeens don't even get the satisfaction your homosexual brains cry out for. Shit, the demon primarch models are as big as fricking knights, which also shouldn't be in 40k. bad lore, bad writing, technically proficient but badly designed models.
They are nice models, but are not Space Marines. They are Starcraft.
I don't like them because they're too clean.
Manlets look different between chapters, while primaris are just recolors
I like them because /tg/ hates them.
I hate that i agree with this anon, but listening to /tg/ whine about them for 5 years just makes me love them more. They're also fun on the table top.
>ate /tg/ virgins
>love me redemptor dreadnought
>love me 'evey intercessor
>I like them, they are god's gift to the game.
>They are the work of Satan and everything wrong in the world.
>I don't care either way
These are not the only opinions you can hold on a topic.
I like the true scale marines. Some of them look great, but the tactical stuff and the mech sucks ass.
Their lore is lazy and moronic.
I'm fine with them. Some of the models do look derpy (like the Invader ATV), but they look nice, and from a lore perspective represent hope for the Imperium (namely, that the AdMech can engage in innovation safely, and probably should).
And yes, I like watching fa/tg/uys raging about them.
I like that we got bigger space toy soldiers with more normal legs. I hated their and Cawl sudden introduction, at least cawl has interesing lore to backup him but i really cannot get behind primaris for some reason.
if we saw more directly how they were made, beli failures and prices paid for the project the community would accept it with more open arms
I also never knew how well a gorget fits on space marines
I don't give a frick, we got new beakies so the primaris and normal Marines can both frick off. All they need to do now is bring back the frickin goofy saturnine terminators and I'd be set.
Their proportions look good, the actual detail of their armour is bad, the fluff is pants on head moronic.
Hate them. Their lore is moronic, their looks vary from OK (some) to meh (most), they are essentially not!Aspect Warriors with better toughness and minus the tinfoil armor. They are indeed a cashgrab and suffer from the same thing as the Stormcast Eternals do (the whole chambers stuff).
>Do you like or dislike Primaris?
Dislike their lore. Like their models.
Should just be a new armor pattern. Not sure why GW is still trying to push them hard when it seems most buy them not for their lore but for their better scale.
I hate them and everything they represent, but I could also probably say that about anything Geedubs related.
Neutral
But they make my least favorite kind of 40k fan mad so I suppose that's good
Their lore is shit and obviously just a contrived reason to make the old SM vehicles obsolete so you'd have to buy more. The names are also moronic and make zero sense, and we're obviously just picked because they sounded cool (ex. intercessor)
They should have just been a new mark of power armor, no need for Space Marines +
The plastics are excellent looking, but more of a pain in the ass to customize and convert
And some of the shit is just plain stupid, like centurions
>centurions
You wanted to say Agressors. Because Centurions are vanilla Marines.
hmm, it's almost like every marine release since like the thunderfire cannon has been stupid, moronic garbage.
Thunderfire Cannon doesn't look stupid.
>The names are also moronic and make zero sense, and we're obviously just picked because they sounded cool (ex. intercessor)
Intercessor is one I would argue makes a lick of sense, even though GW may lack the brains to realize it. Intercession or intercessory prayer is praying for another, EG praying for the safety of a friend or family member. There is also the Intercession of Saints, the belief that the saints may pray for you if you ask them to.
Space marines, as the angels of death, can be seen as a sort of intercessor, except this is in the context of hyperviolent space Christianity and their kind of intercession is very physical.
That you would've rather they pulled an End Times instead of reinvigorating the Imperium is your own personal opinion.
>They gut the central themes of the IoM and replace marines with spartans.
The point behind the return of Guilliman is confronting the current corruption of the Imperium and correcting its course to prevent its total collapse.
I didn't mean to say Primaris marines don't get mutations, I meant more that the available stock is much larger and less riddled with defects.
Still don't understand why they didn't just say "here are tru-scale marines in a new armour pattern buy them or be a manlet player". Most of the shitposting is about the lore with most of the models being okay.
Because then they wouldn't have a reason to not be able to ride in rhinos and drop pods and you wouldn't have to buy the $80 hover tank
I hate the lore but like the models
From a model standpoint the basic marines are cool, but the vehicles are almost universally bad and the combat specialists like Reivers and the jetpack mfs look moronic. Especially the Reivers.
From a writing standpoint, GW just wrote themselves into a corner. The marines were always a rare force, too few to push back the swelling tide, and many chapters have been plagued by geneseed flaws. Some of them are benign yes, but for every Black Dragons chapter you also have some chapter being held back by horrible mutation. In that respect, the Primaris aren't so awful as they rejuvenated the space marine forces.
>. In that respect, the Primaris aren't so awful
That's exactly why they're awful. They gut the central themes of the IoM and replace marines with spartans.
primaris get mutations btw they retconned a lot of lore
Would it have been better if they just announced they were rescaling marine models instead of making them a whole new thing?
yes
The models are fine, except the grav vehicles, those look like shit without treads. Their lore is garbage.
I think the models look a billion times better than the old ones. Especially now having see the beardless dwarfs which are absolute rubbish its a miracle we got updated space marines that look so good.
>5 years since primaris came out

You'll never leave. You'll just float between boards for periods.
>t 2005 user that visits Ganker and /tg/ regularly with moonlighting /vg/ for new releases
Ikr, I'm 31 and I've been here since I was 19/18ish. Just fricking kill me.
Under a month off 28, been here since I was 17. Escape is impossiburu
Primaris are the worst thing to happen to 40k
Their lore is stupid. The models I generally like better than manlet, although there are exceptions. I don't actually draw that much of a distinction between them in my mind, they are all just space marines to me.
What I hate most about them is the two facedness. Its clear that they only exist to replace old marines, and if they had done that it would have been fine. Painful but quick. But introducing stupid stupid lore to them and pretending that they're not doing what they want by keeping the old marines around for this long is agonizing.
>still not a SINGLE Primaris corrupted or fallen to chaos despite 100+ years of indomitus crusade and more warp frickery then ever
Yeah, its still shit
>despite 100+ years of indomitus crusade
retconned to a dozen or so, so far
And why couldn't this have been in one of the many other 40k threads?
>it’s been five plus years and I can’t get over it
Is this autism?
