Should the Carcharodons get Primaris and all the other new toys? How would you make new models for them?
>Should the Carcharodons get Primaris and all the other new toys?Yes.>How would you make new models for them?Lean heavy into the shark theme on vehicles, armor and weapons. Drop the polynesian tattoo stuff.Carcharodons have world-eater gene seed, right? Adorn their armor with jaw bones and teeth. Here's a cool idea: have them put the skull of gigantic animals on the bow of their FTL vessels instead of a golden eagle.

>>98410860Maori and polynesian designs make them look like gay surfer bros anon.
>>98410848>Carcharodons have world-eater gene seed, right?Note how heavily their fluff stresses not just making a bloody mess, but also instilling fear and terror.
>>98410733>Should the Carcharodons get Primaris and all the other new toys? How would you make new models for them?Fucking how. Their geneseed in Chimeric. It might be Raven Guard, it might be fucking Night Lord. No one knows. They're a cool chapter but they're so messy it's hard to justify.
>>98410733Can we get a hammer-head shark stylised thunder hammer? I know in 99% of cases it would look stupid but I've got this picture of one in my mind's eye and it is GLORIOUS.I personally am a humble tourist whose last foray into modelling was 20 years ago and now I just like the lore, but I know some of you talented chaps could do this justice.Despite my earlier suggestion, general advice would be to not overdo the shark theme. Go with tangential themes; you want to go with abyssal ocean type stuff, think 18th century diver helmets, lots of brass pipes that again look like they would be on the earliest submarines; everything needs to be bulky and unwieldy, old fashioned lanterns with the metal criss-cross cages over the source of light (I like the idea of one being suspended in front of the marine to be reminscent of an angler fish), lots of bronze, piercing eyes peering out of absolute darkness if you go with hoods. If you have a banner have it attached to a wooden structure reminiscent of a ship's mast. Keep actual marine life iconography to a minimum, but use nautical-related human structures to simulate them; so again the aforementioned lamp suspended in front of the marine like an angler fish, perhaps a bunch of iron-pipe 'exhausts' for a jump pack that are splayed out in a pattern reminiscent of an octopus, that sort of thing. I love the idea of the Carcharadons but I do worry they are going the way of the Space Wolves.
>>98410733>PrimarisSorry I don't give a shit about nu41k.
Them getting big Primaris reinforcements would completely destroy their entire Exile thing and mission on the outer dark as well as making Red and Grey Tithes, a huge part of their lore, completely trivial and meaningless. No, they absolutely shouldn't get Primaris shit under any circumstances.
>>98410848The most likely candidate for their geneseed is Raven Guard, followed by Night Lords and Chimeric. World Eaters are a pretty far fourth place, especially since most of their aggression comes from the Butcher's Nails, not their geneseed.We've never had it overtly stated in any codexes but our next best source is Black Library novels which ultimately point toward Raven Guard in instances like the Outer Dark novel.
>>98410733They got primaris tech, they just regarded it as an unusually good grey/red harvest
>>98410733Didn't Tyberos get fucked up to the point he has to cross the rubicon or die? I would expect a model for him to come out the same way they did for big daddy Calgar.
>>98410733>CarcharodonsOnly reddit pussies afraid of 40K's past call them this. They're the Space Sharks.>should should shouldYou SHOULD get a trepanation so someone can skullfuck some sense into that underused, quivering skullpussy you call a brain.
>>98411631What like a fusion of raven guard and night lord and maybe world eater? Or like some marines are ravens, some are night lords, and whatever gene seed you get implanted with is what you get?
>>98419447Subtle and tame aren't exactly the right words to describe it, but I appreciate how there are only a few shark things on tyberos, especially this version where the lightning claws aren't quite so shark shaped
