I dont care. Which is a shame because like I said Ventris is a cool Ultramarine. But they completely poisoned hype for space marine releases. I'm willing to bet that deep in their souls, most people dont care.

Looks good enough to me. I'd toss a Beaky helmet on him and make him into a Blood Raven lieutenant. Wouldn't even remove the Ultramarines symbols, I'd just paint over them with Red / Black / Bone and pretend they aren't there. Maybe use some of that fancy Micro Sol / Micro Set crap to flatten a Blood Ravens transfer right on top of them for shits and giggles. (MAYBE swap the Pauldron out with a generic one if I can.)
It's my distinct plan to take one minor character from each and every first founding and just turn them into generic Blood Ravens by barely doing any conversions at all, other than maybe switching out the heads.

Well the whole point of this is to look like Ventris. I don't know why you'd go through all that shit instead of just putting his arms on the gorrilion other space marine primaris captains and lieutenants that exist.
It's especially bad when you look at the better primaris characters like Mephiston that look awesome and aren't the protagonist of hunt the freeman.

I never got to play gorkamorka but it really gave people the opportunity to go nuts with scratch builds. Back when GW actually encouraged players to show some individuality with their mini’s and didn’t care about third party because rule of cool.
GW public trading was probably the worst idea they’ve had.

I keep thinking about doing papercraft minis for it so i can at least get my friends to play it. Especially since the trukks arent standard trukks and the bases arent even standard bases. And mutant minis are stupid expensive.

Man they are really drying up the 40k news on us. Not even any news on killteam and the flayed ones.
Their obsession with boxed games is going a little far.

We've been in 9th Edition for half a year now.
The major focus of 9th is a bit of a backtrack as the setting is the Indomitus Crusade.

1d4chan has summaries:
Storyline wise, 8th Edition advanced the storyline by ~250 years. Cadia fell, but the guard didn't. Abaddon turned out to be following some plan to destroy an Ancient Necron bandaid that was keeping Chaos from breaking into realspace. Once he did so, the entire fucking galaxy split in half. Everything is fucked. Everything.
In the middle of all this, the Primarchs are waking up. And the first thing Guilliman did when returning was unleash a bunch of Super Space Marines that double the entire Space Marine lineup and are completely out of place aesthetically in 40k, while the old Space Marines are all getting squatted. No other loyalist Primarchs have returned, although multiple Chaos ones have. Thanks ADB, very cool.
There was one campaign about securing a planet that is a pathway between the two sides of the giant fucking warp rift in the galaxy; another about how every faction and species in the galaxy is now becoming stupidly psychic because of the warp breaking through.
The Golden Throne is breaking, and there's no one left alive who can fix it because the Custodes never let the AdMech in to look at it. The Custodes recognize this as an oh shit tier problem and are hunting down Dark Mechanicum forge world for help.
Crunch wise, the biggest change is Command Points are no longer soup-friendly, which inadvertently made Custodes one of, if not the strongest, armies in the game. All is right in the Imperium.
9th edition steps back a bit because they realized they could set an entire Horus Heresy level of novels in the Indomitus Crusade. Rules wise, it's 8.5. The 8.0 codexes are still compatible. Timeline wise it's set around the same time as 8th edition. 9th edition changes command points to try and get rid of soup. It kinda works, but more importantly accidentally turned Custodes into the strongest army in the game. So, win win.
New game sizes. Combat Patrol (500 points), Incursion (1000), Strike Force (2000), Onslaught (3000). The new getting started boxes are "Combat Patrol" boxes, with the target being ~500 points. Imperial Knight players on suicide watch.
Plastic Sisters of Battle, because this was the compromise to the "we need Female Space Marines because the fans HATE THE IDEA and we want to fuck with them" sect. All told, the fans won that argument -- Sisters are fucking awesome. Sisters of Silence, too!
The not-main boxed set was called Indomitus, and was like 2 fuckhuge Space Marine and Necron armies at like a 70% discount. Just fucking retarded good value, even moreso if you can find it on discount -- Amazon has it for ~$170, or $30 off. Which is fucking tempting because you can almost definitely flip one half of it + the book for a good chunk of that.
Scalpers suck dick, but GW realized they can print-to-order these things and did so.
The big plot change was that while Grandpappy Smurf was running around, the Necrons are waking up because of the galaxy breaking in half. All of them, everywhere. And they're working on new anti-warp tech that just happens to completely destroy any souls that come near it. Not much has happened since then. The book team has gone back to the start of Indomitus.

Sick of this meme. We have had this meme for 4 years now and it's still not true.

Think he's talking about stories and not the models. They are less important now but that makes sense since Indomitus showcases primaris. We'll have to wait to see if that's long term or not.

Considering the first Dawn of Fire book is doing the whole "teaching the newbie the ropes" cliche and the new blood angels book essentially has a Marinlet essentially calling the primaris a bunch of retards. I don't even think that's true. Hell even the chad Dante talks down to them.

Primaris are still more prominent, for obvious reasons. "Teaching the newbie the ropes" doesn't mean they need to be around after they're done; the Mentors were retconned away from that even though that was their whole point and they now aren't much like they used to be. Obviously we also got a ton of new primaris chapters.
I don't think GW is going to squat marinelets but I don't really blame people for thinking otherwise given that GW has barely said anything on the rumor out-of-universe.
