Had to Google "Der Woche."

 

It would have been more appropriate if it meant what I thought it did.

What did you think it meant?

40K Ultramarines haven't felt like Ultramarines for a while now. This bloke doesn't even want be one, by some din of choice?

 

I remember when Ultramarines were Greco-Roman in theme and proud warriors. Now they're petulant, ungrateful recruits who feel entitled to service gratitude from the institutions of the mysterious and aloof Chapters?

 

Yuk.

 

Tbf 40k Ultramarines have always felt pretty Vanilla Ice Cream (with a glass of tap water) more than Greco-Roman to me, like how 40k Space Wolves have always been Wolfy McWolf more than Space Viking - even though a lot of people (understandably) wished they'd take more from the Heresy depictions.

I don't know. I think Marines from the same chapter that are political leaders who rule over worlds, and also fill the role of "high born" diplomats is a very cool niche in the setting.

Love the model. However, as an Ultramarine fan boy, I kind of feel we have enough characters, I would prefer a unit at this point, like a primaris version of the invictarus suzerain squad, or a fulmentarus terminator squad. Hell a decent upgrade sprue would be welcome over another character imo (Sicarius being an exception for me).

If they let modern Gav Thorpe write things, they have to deal with the consequences.

 

Even his older books are a slog, honestly. Feels like Gav has always ridden high on the acclaim from writing lore snippets and short stories for the old army books.

 

I could complain about his nonsensical story inclusions and plot points in more detail but this is not the thread for it. So yes, they get what they deserve.

It still blows my mind that supposedly we are in the middle of the largest Tyranid invasion ever and they didn't use that as a reason to update the Tyrannic War Veteran kit

Yea, Wolftime really didn't help anyone get invested in the series, which is a pity, because Sea of Souls later down the line is , IMO, pretty excellent.

Yep, it put my (very loose) interest in the series down like a lead balloon.
