Primaris only 3rd company

Probably all marines become primaris sooner or later. 

 

I'm surprised that nobody pushed back against this.  Firstborn and their primaris counterparts have very different roles, both at the individual level and the squad level.  Assault marines and inceptors are better against very different types of targets.  Intercessors are less tactically flexible than tactical squads.  Nothing primaris out-tank-kills lascannon devastators at range.  Assault intercessors are amazeballs midfield skirmishers.  Primaris marines can't wear TDA, and there just isn't anything more survivable.  You really kinda need both firstborn and primaris. Change is not synonymous with improvement.

 

 

Nobody pushed back against it because it isn't really up to the OP if that happens or not. They're just commenting on where they think things are headed in-game.

 

Personally, don't think GW will get rid of OG Marines any time soon. Thinking we will get updated Terminator models though, because GW has already started on that with CSM and their Space Marine Heroes models.
