So......What gives?! I refuse to believe that a launch that has been so well planned, so well play-tested and has had as incredible a set of models designed, has launched with as shoddy rules and limited playability as the Primaris marine line. The lieutenant is, in my opinion, the only primaris unit worth a damn. I just do not understand what the thinking is. Is there a long game? Is there a 5 year plan to phase out all the old marines? Reivers are so clearly scouts. Intercessors, so clearly tactical marines. Inceptors, new concept jump marines, maybe? I dont know. They offer no tactical flexibility - theyre a bunch of guys on foot. Ironically, i think the Intercessors are very well priced for their weapon and statline. But, their options and gear just makes them naff as all hell. Flip side of that coin are the Inceptors - priced into absolute oblivion. Cool guns and rules- but squads of 3 and pricing off the chain? What is GW going to do with these? Because at present, all i want to do is hack them up, stick special weapons on them, and replace all my regular marines with Primaris. For the sake of the thread, I'm not particularly interested in discussing how to make a sub-par unit workable. That doesn't interest me. What interests me is some insight into where GW is taking these guys 5 years down the line. Because its a BIG, bold step. This is not the end game -this is the start of them rebooting the model line.
