Why wouldn't they? If, for an example, their animators finished working on animations for a base game, it makes sense for them to start working on something for later. Instead of just sitting there, arbitrarily forced to do nothing, until arbitrary release finally passes, because... reasons. Otherwise some random /v/tard will sperg out, since it's bad somehow.

pre-order discount is basically their way of perpetuating pre-order culture in an environment where pre-order exclusives/bonuses aren't or can't be a thing anymore, and pre-ordering serves no functional purpose because 'running out of copies' just isn't a *thing* unless said product is being made by Nintendo or Valve. Even then, digital copies don't run out, so...

people are mad about Primaris because they demarcated the door slamming shut on the last bit of Old-40k vibes and versimilitude. The one defining de-facto thing about 40k was always that everything was worse than it used to be, the Imperium was limping along with half remembered technology, and sheer inertia was grinding it to dust.

Primaris are an improvement on old technology that came with a suite of improvements on old equipment. They're also basically just Space Marines: Remastered - the only reason OG Space Marines weren't phased out was so people didn't fucking burn down GW HQ cause invalidating everyones 'stuff' when they ended WHFB caused a LOOOOT of problems.

But Primaris 100% exist as part of a more modern design philosophy where GW wants to pretend 40k is serious sci-fi

>>739368827
My issue with Primaris was how stupid and illogical their inclusion in the lore was. The idea that some random Tech Priest could improve upon the Astartes was absurd, but even if one accepted that as is that they could suddenly appear and be integrated without triggering a civil war is the part I can't really live with. It was too convenient and given the nature of most Chapters is not something they would just accept even if dictated by the Custodes.

>>739369249

>>739369081
The design/aesthetic issues with Primaris are largely due to being designed and signed off by no-guns retards so we end up with completely nonsensical shit like Desolators. As witnessed by the newer releases you remake Tactical, Assault, Devastator, Scouts, and Terminators Squads in Primaris scale without major change and people love them.

Another thing to consider is that Primaris exist to provide more specialist units because GW don't want you to be able to just buy a big box or some bitz and kitbash your entire army. They want to force you to buy individual bespoke units. This is why they do not share parts with og marines and why they do not share parts with each other and why every unit is a SINGLE GUNTYPE SPECIALITY unit.

It's just a cynical way to sell more plastic.

>>739370048
Primaris were very obviously a move to make Marine players buy their army all over again. Hence the complete lack of cross over between existing Marine units and Primaris units for 8th Edition. The stupid part of this is that Marine players would have happily just accepted a scale change and bought Primaris scale models for existing units. But instead it took like almost a decade of bullshit until they finally started swinging back around to actual Marine units but Primaris as we are seeing now. People clearly wanted Primaris bodies but with non-Primaris wargear.

It did, at the start of 8th edition, then they realized that every regular human or t'au would've been dead even with juvenat treatment so they also retcon the indomitus crusade.

They do. It's a very dumb complaint that could only be made by a secondary who never interacted with those models. Nothing at all prevents you from taking helmet from tactical, one arm from Incursor, second one from devastator, left pauldron from intercessor and right from stenguard and same with other bits

>btw, they have flying tanks too
antigrav tech was always plentiful, so it's not surprising
>that massive decentralized galaxy with shit FTL and communication system is also somehow completely staffed with primaris in a few years
That's not what happened. Torchbearers slowly traveled everywhere with everyone slowly getting that defibrillator
>soft retcon all this shit a few years later by never talking about primaris again
still hasn't happened, units in particular always mention mk10 armor configurations. But it's not like defibrillator is a radical change anyway
>>
>>739370616
The funny part of that is that people weren't even mad about Yarrick being back, they were only made because it was an Armageddon campaign without a Steel Legion release to go along side it. Which they are right to be mad about because that is fucking stupid.

>>739374129
I would honestly be more fine with with some concentrated effort in its pursuit without it being secret than the idea that it persisted undiscovered for 10k years in secret without discovery. The whole concept is ridiculous to begin with, but lumping on complete secrecy for the amount of time they specify is what breaks the bank. I know muh BL reference in a single prior book but that doesn't really fix things in the grand scheme of things.

It's campaign focused RTS. And all their cinematic cutscenes, their selling point, despite technically looking far better than anything before in series, are completely ruined by direction and battle choreography to the point they are completely shit. It's most obvious in George Floyd trailer, but it's a thing in others too. Everyone acts retarded in them, can't hit shit or rushes to fight in melee with his ranged weapons out or takes way too long to do something fucking monty python lancelot style

They outsource the cinematics to a different company, some retards who either don't care or don't know anything about 40k. In what fucking world does a literally who techpriest giganegress take down a dozen warriors and two lychguard in melee? And you just now that after seeing one comment about George Droyd they got their panties in a twist and won't do anything to address the horrific choreography and lore inaccuracy because "it's just the chuds being racist"
>>
>>739376963
It ain't even the Tech Priest being able to take down a bunch of Necron Warriors. It is that all the Warriors whiffed their shots for no reason. Same scenario but the Tech Priest is having to dodge the shots and close the distance to engage in melee earlier and people would be more ok with it even if she is a disgusting minority who looks like George Floyd.

>>739377689
Like you said, the direction and choreography is fucked because they didn't care about the lore. The last thing you want to do is stand in the line of fire of a bunch of necron warriors. And since the techpriests didn't get out of the line of fire and take cover, the chucklefucks writing out this shit just made the warriors fire twice and miss by a comically large margin, otherwise there would be nothing left of the techs. The entire scene is fundamentally fucked from the beginning, and would have be the redesigned from the 1st frame. If they cared about the lore they would know that warriors are dumb as shit, and instead of the techs taking them head on they would attempt to out-maneuver them. Or better yet take some skitarii disposables, and have a canoptek wraith or something phase in and butcher them, then you could give the negress her qween moment and take it down, thus at least earning some sense of accomplishment instead of fucking our expectations and making both sides look lame
