I’m not entirely certain as to what I could call this thread other than a rant of sorts, but maybe some of you can figure out what my mind is trying to say so here goes… After trying to figure out what faction I wanted to play, I settled on GK because I like the idea of demon hunters. However, there are a few things that bother me about the models & I guess I wanted to see how others felt about this. First off, I’m disappointed that they have so few models in their category, featuring only 2 main squads (not counting their variants), but also that they don’t seem to have access to most generic Space Marine units save for dreadnaughts & vehicles. It’s also annoying that they don’t have unique models for their librarians & chaplains. Even their apothecaries aren’t treated as characters like in every other Space Marine army. Second, while I like the wrist mounted Storm Bolters & have no issues with them being on their left wrists, I find it odd that both Kaldor Draigo & Garran Crowe have their Storm Bolters mounted on their right wrists instead. It makes sense for Draigo, as he carries a shield, but not for Crowe & I guess I find it odd that there is no option to switch wrists on any other models. Third, I like that Draigo has a shield, which I feel really invokes the idea of him being a knight, but it vexes me that no other models have the option of using shields! I feel that it would be awesome if at least Terminators had the option of swapping their Storm Bolters for shields or if other models could have the Storm Bolters on their right wrists & shields in the left hands (like Draigo). It seems like a missed opportunity in my honest opinion & I wish GW would consider this idea. Lastly is more of a question, but what do y’all think are the chances that GK will get Primaris marines? I’m not exactly demanding the GW makes Primaris GK, since I do like how customizable firstborns are, but I feel like they may have put themselves in a bad position as all loyalist marines they are making now are Primaris, but the GK are so secretive that it might not make sense lore-wise for them to get Primaris marines. Granted, they may make their presence known to Guilliman who could then pass on that knowledge to Cawl so he could make Primaris GK, but still I’m not sure if that would make much sense. I don’t know, I’m still quite new to the setting, but maybe y’all can give me insight as to what the rest of you guys may think. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk & as always, God Bless!
