Cope more manlet
Can't wait until they make Alpha Primaris marines that are slightly bigger than Primaris marines and invalidate all your old sprues. Every decade they'll just keep making slightly bigger marines.
Why are these manlet players so emotionally fragile?
>Every decade they'll just keep making slightly bigger marines.
That is already happening with firstborn. New firstborn releases are nearly the size of primaris, same with rubrics and plague marines.
>Celebrating scale creep
byw, a normal unarmored human in infinity is taller than a primaris. Maybe go play that.
>trying to get marinetards to play Infinity
Frick off, we're full.
> my toy soldier is bigger than yours
The real competition is to have the smallest soldiers.
I think it's funny you tell others to cope while photoshopping manlet models to look even smaller so you can feel good about your tasteless choice.
Shitmaris fans sucking GW's dick as per usual.
>c-cope m-manlet
All I’ve taken from this post is that space marines always look like shit
That's what I keep saying, but I think it people get more defensive and delusional as a coping mechanism.
God, space marines are shit.
These both look shit.
They're the same
>Primaris Descorciators
It's pronounced "O-Ver-Com-Pen-Say-Tors"
Just play Tyranids where you never get new models and many of your units are still stuck last edition's meta hell it's so FUN.
Why do they even bothered why the new primashit lore, they should just have said they are the new design from the get go. People would've still hated it but at least the loregays would have been kept at check.
>captcha:D8GRAS
Primaris lore let them have new profiles for each unit to get people to buy the new rules
Space Marine Devastators
>they devastate
Primaris Intercessors
>they... intervene
>they... intervene
Considering they're objective grabbers, that's actually not that stupid.
Especially since they're the equivant of:
Tactical Marines
>They... tactic
>they tactical
i mean they're general use marines.
flexible, great for most tactical situations.
intercessor is just trying to maximum copyright and piglatin it up
>intercessor is just trying to maximum copyright and piglatin it up
Intercessor is a real word.
This is why the 30k squad naming convention is superior.
Intercessor is a normal word. The amount of people complaining about primaris that lack a good vocabulary is astounding.
I'm more surprised about them not bothering to look up a word before posting about it.
I think it's more about all their units being named somethin-or with little consideration of the unit's purpose coupled with the fact that old marines had one unit for all of that and primaris have 10 making the naming convention a lot more noticeable.
>with little consideration of the unit's purpose
They're named quite well though, I think all the names make sense.
It's all a variation of something that kills. Which technically fits but doesn't really give you any hint at what the unit is about. Based on the names, you would never know tha the difference between eradicators and eliminators is one being stealth armoured snipers and the other heavy armoured melta gunners. Compared to their equivalents recon squad/scout sniper squad and devastators/heavy support squad it's pretty different. And mind devastator is still bad compared to heavy support squad but at the very least there's only one squad with heavy weapons and a silly name and not 10 so there can't be any confusion. The other exception is terminators because it's talking about the armour so you know exactly what the unit is.
>It's all a variation of something that kills.
Not at all.
>eradicators and eliminators
Eradicate implies total destruction, eliminate is often used in assassination jargon.
>The other exception is terminators because it's talking about the armour so you know exactly what the unit is
That's complete cope and you know it, if the called the eliminator's gun "eliminator rifle" and the eradicatirs "eradication guns" than it'd be fine by that logic
nta but Dude if I have to look up the unit to figure out which one someone is talking about after taking a 12 month break from 40k because they all roll off the tongue in the same way and sound extremely similar then the naming convention is fricking garbage. meanwhile Tactical, assault, and devastator all sound distinct from each other, I've never mixed them up once in the half lifetime I have been playing 40k for which makes them have a pretty good naming convention in comparison.
There's also the reality that the names aren't very memorable either, they're clearly made with sound complicated and thus copyrightable in mind which gives them a quality of leaking out of someone's mind easily while the three listed above are made with having a clear memorable (and simple) name in mind.
>nta but Dude if I have to look up the unit to figure out which one someone is talking about after taking a 12 month break from 40k
Has there been any new Primaris units in the last twelve months?
>they all roll off the tongue in the same way and sound extremely similar
I disagree with that assessment.
>they're clearly made with sound complicated and thus copyrightable
Bar a few exceptions, they're all real words.
>Has there been any new Primaris units in the last twelve months?
I think there have but that's not terribly relevant to what I said
>I disagree with that assessment.
That's just you
>Bar a few exceptions, they're all real words.
yes, and?
admittedly complicated and exotic was the wrong wording
>That's just you
I don't think so, I've yet to meet a person who would say Eradicator rolls off the tongue just like Inceptor or Reiver.
>yes, and?
And so they don't sound like they're being made to sound intentionally complicated for copyright purposes.
>And so they don't sound like they're being made to sound intentionally complicated for copyright purposes.
Not how that works
Yes it is.
nayrt, but you can absolutely trademark (not copyright, copyright is on a product/work itself not on its branding) names and phrases that are just made of existing words. While an arbitrary name (i.e. one which isn't an existing, 'real' word) are easier to have trademarked, you can still get basically any name trademarked, provided that it's not deemed overly generic. 'Jet Ski' is just two old words mashed together, but it's still a registered trademark of Kawasaki. 'Bubble Wrap' is a trademarked name, as are 'Flip Phone' (by Motorola) and 'Pot Noodle' (by Unilever)
The place where that idea actually falls down is that GW haven't registered trademarks for any of these names. The register is public info, you can just look it up. So like, here's the last time they registered 'Warhammer'
>https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00003763677
and their trademark on 'Space Marine' (fat lot of good it did them lmao)
>https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00900392886
and 'Tyranid' (with alternate spelling of 'Tyrannid' included)
>https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00001524115
'Eldar' (expired, lol)
>https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00001498855
even 'Dark Angel' (+'Dark Angels' plural)
>https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00001524302
But they've never registered Primaris, or any Primaris X derivatives. In fact, the only registry of 'Primaris'- anything is for some defunct holding company from the US which registered it in the 1990s. There is no Primaris® Assblaster®, or even Stormcast® Donglongener®, they've made no effort to legally protect those names. There's a case to be made for it influencing their recent *design* decisions, to help if there's another Chapterhouse-y thing (where 'fair use' exemption rulings proved more common for the trademarks than the copyrights). But the idea that it's the reason for their new naming practices is dumb
Such strange and exotic names like "Infiltrator, Eliminator, Hellblaster"
*intercede
similar, but subtly distinct
Why did the israelites of GW make the marines bigger and bigger?
>people collect and trade old sprues for kitbashing
>this means they arent buying new ones
>release bigger marines to make old sprues incompatible and so marines made with old sprues look dumb
>forces everyone to buy new marines so their armies dont look stupid
>buy new marines so their armies dont look stupid
Well, that doesn't seem to be going well based on what I've seen so far
>Shoot your gun untill Fred goes deaf
GW wants to make them action figures, look at size of latest sigmarines.
Those fricking chunyboi proportions are inexcusable. Almost makes the cringemaris B's worth it just to fix
Because the primaris were lacking in an infantry squad with a forgettable name armed entirely with one type of heavy weapon
Assault Marines really should be Battery Marines.
Then buy HH models and use those.
Horus Heresy models aren't compatible with 40k
This guy lets gw tell him what he can and cant do with his plastic army men.
Bottle caps with "terminator" written on them are compatible with 40k.
GW knows their target audience
>chad virgin wojak heckin chonky boi floofer woofer epic guy
Leaving that godforsaken game was the best decision I've ever made.
