GW's sins are like scarlet, but I still don't get why the Primaris are so hated. To me, it just sounds like "old thing good, new thing bad."

My pet theory is the primaris helmet looks too heroic to some people.

Primaris turned Space Marines from being an elite army that could combat anything with a wide assortment of tools, to every unit being designed for one job and one job alone. They became Eldar, but lost all their flavor. If they just updated the pre-8th units with a new scale and updated looks (see 10th edition and Heresy), it would be different, but they completely changed what space marines were supposed to be.

I think female Custodes could work. Imagine Emprah taking a day off after few thousand years of 911 lifestyle to have some fun (as much as He can have any fun), so to test some science He made a Custodian out of a girl. Then, He purposefully trained her wrong, as a joke.

Custodes are supposed to be golden examplars of humanity according to the emperor

A female custodian should not simply be a man in drag. Maybe one or two. But shouldn't they be exemplars of femininity as well? They fucked it up IMO. Tokenism strikes again

Exemplars of humanity. Not masculinity or femininity. A body and mind dedicated to the singular purpose of protecting the Emperor and His Will. Anything beyond that is superficial and therefore excised.

In more recent news rather than complaining about primaris and female custodes

Looks like EC is leaning heavily into the noise marine gun thing with 3 different types.

naw

This is from watchers of the throne, Valerian, a custodes shield-captain:
We were never soldiers.
Whenever we are seen outside the walls of this place, as rare as that is, it is in our martial aspect. We are clad in gold, just as it was in the earliest days when He was our living captain, and mortals fall on their faces as if before gods. To them, it must seem as if we are wrath incarnate. To them, it must seem as if we were created for destruction and nothing else.
But we were His companions, once. We were the ones in whom He confided. We were His counsellors, we were His artisans. We were the first glimpse of what the species could become, if shepherded aright and unshackled from its vicious weaknesses.
Of course, we were taught to fight. He knew that war would come. It was a necessary part of the ascension, though it was never destined to last for eternity. We were the guardians of a new age, and had to be strong enough to keep it secure.
We failed in that, and now wear the mark of that failure in the black robes that cover our auramite. It is a permanent reminder, replacing the cloaks of blood-red that once adorned our battle-plate. It weighs heavy with every one of us, for we know more of the nature of the fall than most. We still recite the old stories, and we study in the lost archives where we alone are suffered to tread, and so do not have the comforting illusions of ignorance to salve the wound. In a galaxy defined by ignorance, we remember. We cultivate the shards of the thing that was broken, and remain aware of what would have been.
I think sometimes that this knowledge is the most severe of our many burdens. Any brutal soul may fight if he has the goal ahead of him. We fight knowing that our truest purpose lies behind us, and all that remains is faithfulness to an extinguished vision.
But still we preserve. We tend the things of value that have survived. We seek to embody His will in all things. We cleave to His light as the darkness gathers. We interpret, we study, we delve into the philosophy of the ages.
We have many duties. But that is just as it should be, for we are not simple creations. The aeons have changed us in so many ways, but not in that.
We were a thousand things to a thousand souls, but we were never soldiers.

Eh, I am curious what sort of Acolyte trainwreck we are getting out of Amazon. It will be shit. Like Acolyte and Lard of Rangzez.

The story of the new animation made little sense and had no relation to the game. It lookes fine, but the story was ... well there wasn't much story.

Primaris marines are dislikes because their loadouts are like eldar, and they look more tacticool, normie, less knightly. The mark 7 helmet was peak, this is just a reused mark 4.

I think primaris look a little too uniform and clean, like there's little room for customization. Everyone has the same helmet, pauldrons etc. like they came out of Ikea.

….so get a new helmet or pauldrons, if you commented on the legs or chest areas sure but this is like complaining about old tacticals looking the same looking the same is the marine theme.
