Can't wait for GW to gaslight everyone in lore into thinking Grey Knights have always been Primaris marines.

When we said that Crowe is head-and-shoulders above his brethren, we meant it figuratively...

This is stupid. He's still a first born. Stop making up shit to be mad about.

And they needed that Sororitas blood for primaris reasons!

Whats that, Primaris Firstborns^TM

I'd be skipping this one if I was into GK. Something about having one giant guy throwing my entire army's scale off would bum me out.
Of course I'm a stupid GW lacky putting tank treads on a repulsor so I'd probably just buy the fucking guy and chop him up for bits to convert back into proper firstborn size to preserve my sense of scale, thus paying twice for one model.

Crap, now I need to get Grey Knights. And here I was hoping to also build a 1k Sons after finishing my Necrons.

Luckly for you there's supposed to be a battle box coming out with both

It's true. I didn't want to buy it or at least I wanted to split it but I may just need to use both halves xD.

At this pint I don't care anymore. Screw the lore, just say it's a new armor and let me have my bigger marines. All Imp. Propaganda, rinse-wash-repeat, etc. Would love bigger Guardsmen while they're at it.

It's not even new armor, it's just in truescale now.

I think the Lore will be left deliberately ambiguous

::puts him on a rock so that he doesn't look like a leprechaun compared Primaris marines::

Stop the Space Marine releases please. Some of us have models almost 30y/o

It’s literally not even Primaris? It’s just the proper scale that first born are supposed to be. Just look at the armor
Anyone who bought deathwatch veterans would know they were changing the scale of the first born.
Yeah it blew my mind when I turned some into sternguard they made the old metal ones look tiny
Or any of the Heresy plastic kits... Or Chaos Marines... Or Death Guard... Or Thousand Sons... Or the Blood Angels box...
They've been up sizing Marines for years and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that so many people apparently have no clue.
Was about to comment this.
You can see it with Malogurst as well as he is very tall too. They are going with a new scale for Firstborn now.
Idk about maloghurst, mainly because I don’t have the model personally so I can’t compare sizes, and the pose doesn’t help show off his scale, but I believe 30k stuff is remaining in the old scale, since that game is mostly a time capsule for pre-8th edition rules (as far as I can tell). This dude is definitely the height of a Primaris marine, but not in Primaris armor at all, you can easily tell by the legs, power pack, and chest piece.
I've seen pictures of his model alongside other Heresy era stuff. It is kinda hard to tell but he is definitely taller than other 30k models though not as tall as Primaris due to the rock making up some of the height.
You are correct on the rules parts so you would assume they'd keep the models similar scale.
I think Castellan Crowe is around the height of a Primaris marine too though we will need to see for sure. He is still rocking his armour though yes.
I'm okay with Truescale.
I'd buy quite a few Truescale Firstborn on payday if they announced them.
I'm already using Primaris Bodies for a few units but if I could get older armor types in the proper size I'd be ecstatic.
If you think GW won't throw the Primaris keyword on them as a means to sell new GK models to older players and allow them to buy the new vehicles, you don't know GW. They retcon shit all the time at the drop of a hat.
Irrelevant and easily written around:
"Well actually we were the prototypes for the Primaris marines and wear the Mk9 armor that was made for us 8000 years ago becuse it has all the anti demon wards in it"
Literally every other character that has crossed the rubicon has been a big announcement. Just look at the reveal around mephisto, or Lazarus, all their hype about them crossing the rubicon Primaris. Did you see a single mention of that in the article? No. Have you seen a single Primaris marine with armor anywhere near this? No. Also, the article didn’t show off any other rescaled GK’s so it’s possible this is the only new GK model coming out. So “slapping the Primaris keyword” on just him would do virtually nothing.
You are quite literally making up things to be upset about and I feel bad for you bud. I’m sorry you see gw as a big evil straw man

Nice ad hominem, but if that’s the route you’d like to go, aren’t jokes meant to be funny?
Also, “they’ve always been Primaris” is not something they would do. The lore writers are more talented than you’d believe and I’d love an example of a time in the past 5-10 years they’ve done something similar to what you’ve said that makes you believe that’s what’s going to happen?
