Gravis is unfortunate looking.  Hopefully this is less primaris and more classic real marine looking. 

Agreed.

If they got rid of the snag hazard leg cables and stopped putting guns on their guns then they might look better. Mk10 is the only redeeming feature in the modern armor range.

I don't pay attentive to (or care) about current Heresy lore, but I don't think the Traitor Legions of the Scouring are really in their 40k chaotic forms yet. This is before most of them retreated to the Eye of Terror

 

The Death Guard and Emperor's Children more or less are. The Destroyer Hive is what turned the Death Guard into the Plague Marines, and after Istvann, the Emperor's Children went full barrel into Slaaneshi worship.

 

The Thousand Sons still had a bit of work to do (the Rubric) and the World Eaters were also well down the pathway.

 

Everyone else, yes, they're all in varying states of Chaos-dom.

Even that's disappointing though, effectively saying that 10k years in the eye has had little additional effect other than armour being a bit warpy. Id have like to see a halfway state at most, hinting at what the cult legions are becoming, rather than having them 1:1 equivalents of their 40k versions after less than 7 years.

Just wondering what people’s thoughts on a HH style detachment army list building mechanic for 40k is? Could anyone who plays HH, or better yet both HH and 40k, chime in with their thoughts. I think the way HH list building works seemed interesting  back when they were teasing the most recent edition, however, I don’t know enough to firmly have a concrete opinion. I just think it’s an interesting prospect, not that it would be relevant for 11th, but rather for future editions like 12th and beyond.

HH list building is unnecessarily complicated for a mainstream game. Generally most of this forum are old hands when it comes to these things so it's easy to think "I don't have any troubles so no one does" but in reality coaching my casual friends into the hobby has shown this to be an unnecessarily difficult element of the game.
