A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Pretty wild. When they announced Primaris this is what I thought they were going to do, but then after two full editions of old/new marines living together I'd assumed they'd given up on that idea. So many classics are heading out...

I have no problem with the new models, sure some of it isn't my kind of thing but that has always been the case.

For me one of the big draws of 40k was the empire in decline narrative. Ancient technology being kept alive by techno-priests, the fact that most of the technology is irreplaceable, the emperor who created these super humans is a corpse so this is what we have. It isn't going to get better. Primaris marines sort of shit all over that.

I won't be buying any, but fair play to folks who do. Hobbies are about what you enjoy, not what other folks will.
