Not big on those accessories either. Leave the walking tank look to the dreads I think. How do they even fire those wrist guns, given they're also wearing power fists?

They must have a good save, they've even got schurzen armour for their vitals, these Primaris Marines think of everything >:D

They are wearing Gravis armour, same as the Captain.

They look as ridiculous as the Centurions. Which is pretty ridiculous

The things dangling at their crotch really mess up the proportions.

People tell me that at the swimming pool.

All those extra weapony bits make them look like bizarre mech-marines...not a fan.

There is a lot of lazy going on with the recent wave of digital sculpts from GW.  They're...technically good or nice sculpts, but there is an overwhelming number of copy-cat poses, equipment, etc.  Also the somewhat childish "everything has twin guns everywhere!" is kinda weak.  I do think the death knell of Space Marine is ringing loud in the ears.

Umm, did they really need to give them Sporans with skull icon options?

Still the proportions legs/torso seem off, just don't quite look right. could they not just upsize/update terminator armor with a bit of new stylin' and be done with it?

Its not like they haven't made terminators bigger before

Waiting for the Prima  is Ballerina set to come out

The Prima Donna set? lol

I just wish they'd done the Primaris bigger so that they could begin to fix the scale of the normal marines. It's all over the place at this point, it's almost as bad as Infinity.

The design is actually based on a Goodwin skech that has been floating around online for years .I remember it coming up in a rumour thread on warseer back when A:warseer was a thing and B:before 5th edition.

Sorry to link to spiky bits but It's quicker than me going through the many steps of saving ect ect ect

If the new procedure can crack making women into marines, maybe they could upgrade Mad Donna Ulanti. She'd be a proper Primaris Donna.

Can't help thinking those armour sporrans would be awfully clanky, noisy and irritating.
