Goodbye Rubicon, it's been nice

Legend rules exist specifically for old kits that might be out of production. 

Perhaps not ideal, but in casual games people are free to use and modify them.

I must admit I dont know the latest lore amazingly well, but the idea of ecverything going to pot, then primarch saving the day, it just makes the galaxy feel small.

Everything tied in to a single neat storyline - cartoon-level worldbuilding.

BUT, the idea of the rubicon going, all marines just being marines... well if that means that you get 'tactical' primaris... or whatever crud they call them (also get fed up with the daft naming conventions), so you get nicely scaled, awesome looking models, which have the same load out as a tactical squad, and they whip up some jump packs for the 'new' assault squad chaps. I would love this, it would be (to me) what gw should have done at the start, just said 'hey guys, heres our new marine range of truescale epic new scuplts, dont worry, these are all going to be mk10 fancy power armour to start with, so your old models arnt invalidated, but be aware over the next 5 years or so the old range will be phased out', that would have been amazing, and if they get there now, I will be happy.

The allure of selling Space Marine players an entirely new collection was too strong. That, and GW was probably still in the height of their post-Chapterhouse delirium.

"Space Marine Space Marines" was a fun joke about James Workshop until it became reality. If it all becomes "Space Marines" again that will be great.
