On one hand, the mini is gorgeous, on the other, my disgust for the primarises is very real... what do you think? Tears of rage or joy?

I said that the agressors seemed like mini-calgars (twin powerfist with bolters attached, in a top heavy armor design). However I didn't expect it the other way. There will be a wave of hate, which is understandable. However I hope this means more weapons for the Primaris.

I like the detail and quality, but I'm not keen on the pose. It seems a bit too Gary Morley era Blood Bowl.

 

Looks bloody awesome to me! Is this the big reveal? Cos I thought the video said the 25th of November?

Those GSC look amazing too. Can’t wait for all these

 

Nope, video said the 24th. This is the big reveal. To be fair, there's a lot including a Warlord sized Titan.

Ah ok I could’ve sworn it said 25th. I must be thinking about Christmas Day lol. Cheers TH

 

According to Warhammer Community there is more to come today.

 

Excited by these reveals? Well, we’ve got a couple more up our sleeve for later today, so keep checking back! To make sure you don’t miss any, make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram

I think the hate mainly stems from the dislike for primaris as a whole and now the confirmation that older marines can be upgraded signalling the (long and eventual) death of older marines.

I'm not an ultramarines player myself but man I really like him and will most definitely pick the model up. He looks like a real big boi that's for sure!

Yeah I think they will be judging by base sizes.

I hope it's a unit that lets you get several in 1 slot to avoid the rule of 3. Not sure how I would better phrase that idea but a unit of up to X that acts as characters or something, not just a single unit model.  Or maybe it's just a strong unit. Like a Nobz mob. Lots of possibilities. 

I'm betting his rules with the two Honour Guard will be similar to Saint Celestine and the Gemini (hoping hoping!). 

 

His model is totally boss. One hand is shooting (check all the sexy brass pouring out his bolter), the other hand is raised and inspiring. He's wearing Gravis armor, he's aged since his previous iteration, and he's still sporting some shiny bling. The classic lines are still there (fists with laurels, eagle backpack) and they added some sweet flames to the fists too.

 

Overall, super ace release. I'm going to be adding some Armorcast muzzle flashes to the shooting bolter, otherwise it just looks silly.

 

 

Also, found this:

I have a mighty need! Despite it probably being a $60+ box.

I love the models.  I love that the Primaris are getting a special character finally....

 

But

 

No no no no no no no no no

 

This is not the way to do it.  I don't want to read about old marines being super juiced and made Primaris!  When do these guys just retire and or die!?!?!?  This is not the way, this is NOT the WAY GW

 

Rant over lol.

Mostly because there's still plenty of room to make other faction-specific characters for new players to enjoy. GW has recognized they need their old players too, so have been heavily catering toward them lately to keep them in the game. One way to do that is to realize those old tiny models in new awesome ways, such as this.

I like it.

 

I don’t mind the maguffin they’ve come up with, a device they can step in to make them Primaris. According to what’s been said at WHW today, the transformation nearly killed him, so I bet this will only be for certain characters

 

I’m one of those older players, and I definitely want to see the likes of Azrael, Dante, Ragnar, helbrect etc step into the Rubicon and get transformed.

 

This has a lot of potential
