I think Primaris might be taking a break (lol) for other shit id say we wont get primaris chapter specific stuff for a while. Also has anyone here ever used Artel models? I play Blood Ravens and hated Gabriel Angelos's FW model but I managed to get my friend to print me the artels Angelos which looks way better. I am kinda disappointed his DoW 3 design is canon though.

They don't have to get primarised to get a new model. The ba codex is coming out in like, a month or 2.

As it stands GW seem to basically to be primarising every named Space marine character slowly but surely. The operation is apparently dangerous but almost all the named dudes got out fine. Id expect Dante to be Primaris. Though with the sanguinor I honestly think you could make an awesome conversion of him with stormcast eternals. Althoguh I think for being an old model he still looks nice.

Although as old as Dante is, and considering his battle honors, I could easily see the Blood Angels keeping him on as a Firstborn simply because he's too useful to lose if the upgrade fails.

The sanguinor won't get primarised because it's a warp entity, Dante could easily be the exception to the rule. Also the operation being dangerous is outdated lore iirc.

You might be right about the operation since early on they said they would perfect is but early it would be kinda messed up. As it stands I dont really hate primaris and them buffing old marines to 2 wounds is something but id say by 10th edition we might be fully primaris. Unless GW really does stand by their word of "we arent phasing out old marines"
Also I wanna ask I did not really play a lot of 8th edition 40k but apparently Iron Hands and Raven Guard were the go tos for Space marine armies? I honestly find that kind of funny I always thought Raven Guard/Iron Hands were some of the more unpopular chapters even if they are first founding's. Chapters like Black Templars, Blood Ravens, and Celestial Lions probably had more fans.

Outside of the competitive scene good rules don't usually affect the popularity of armies too much. Obviously people prefer their army to be strong but some factions like Orks & Imperial Guard are always popular despite wildly fluctuating strengths between codexes & editions. For casual games you can usually make a decent list even if your codex isn't top-tier.
Celestial Lions really do need more love tho, they're fucking cool.

Apparently the inquisition is still butt hurt over them so they didn’t get primaris stuff right away but I think it’s confirmed primaris are helping to rebuild them. I mean shit the Soul Drinkers are coming back.

Liberators aren't great but at 90 points for 10 4+ save wounds, they're (theoretically) great at filling out armies and sitting on objectives. Again, I don't collect SC, so I'm talking out of my ass, but they at least seem economical now.
They're the Nurglings of AoS, much more so than actual Nurglings.

DoW3 backflipping Angelos should not be canon. I have artel's Scorpions, Dragons and all of their seer-likes including Macha. Their detail and resin quality are top notch.

I'd never heard of them, but a perfunctory glance revealed a corrupted Nurglesque Sister of Battle with a Flamer, and if there was any use for such a thing, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

For craftworld players such as I they're one of the go-tos in terms of proxies. The current China coof crisis messed up their shipping schedule but they found a roundabout way through Netherlands post of all things and some of my minis arrived lickety split.
Although they killed it with their scoprions and dragons, I was not a fan of their Dark Reaper's eldritch aesthetic. Currently they're designing warp spiders and already I can sense they're not eldar-slim enough, maybe there's a way to give them feedback or something

Eh... while I think they could be a bit slimmer (and those pauldrons should be gifted to the Blood Ravens ASAP), the Warp Spiders are pretty bulky infantry by Eldar standards, with their teleport pack and at least in 7e, a 3+ save.

Even with Dow 3 bombing that Gabe is canon seeing as how it’s a official model and Blood Ravens got an entire White Dwarf.
So im lurking again and being a 40k fan I actually agree with this guy. I have noticed a rather large uptick of Warhammer 40k on youtube we went from the days of dumb ass tribute slide show music videos with heavy metal music and random DoW clips to a rather large community. I used to think 40k was a big community in like 2012 its fucking HUGE now. It leads to a lot of dumb "who would win conversations" which I gave up long ago but people still love to push them so I understand why other scifi fans are sick of hearing how Cato Sicarius could beat Halo or some shit.
I frankly think the increased praise/popularity of 40k comes down to other "sc-fi" juggernauts simply failing (Star Wars/Star Trek) people look at 40k and all get tickles and good feelings reading the decades of lore or maybe playing video games. Now this is a rather double edged sword since the increased popularity will lead to more eyes on the product as a whole (gatekeeping is needed blah blah you all know it). People already accuse Primaris and a lot of the recent lore as being to sanitized and appealing to executives so I frankly am not certain.
Keep in mind like I said I left Warhammer for a good 5 years over Cadia Falling and Age of Sigmar but I came back to now rather enjoy Age of Sigmar and have grown to like Primaris marines (model wise the lore is a little eh). However, I would almost classify Warhammer 40k 8th edition as a "reboot" of sorts not on the scale of AoS but 8th truly shook the very foundations of 40k id argue.

Oh that it was just autism I thought 40k was moving in some dumb direction I was too used to the lore not moving forward. I also frankly needed a break and I was just starting college I do not hate the idea now and it did also not help that Age of Sigmar launch was absolutely horrible so like I said I just needed to be away from Warhammer for a while.

I'm more of a Cadian sympathizer myself but I think Cadia falling was fine. It gave us the most Imperial Guard moment to have happened with a regiment fighting off the endless hordes of the warp as the planet crumbled to dust before they did.
I also think it adds a little bit more of an explanation of Cadians being the Ultramarine standard for Guardsmen since you have so many displaced Cadians settling on new worlds or getting mixed with other units and formations with nothing on their minds but to honor the Cadian legacy by training more Cadian shock troops.
