Interesting scale shot, make of it what you will.

[AWu]

I did similar comparison (with an eye and matching base size on the monitor  . They should be in size with Plague marines from 2017.
So they will dwarf old CSM but will have great proportions!

To reach Primaris size I had to glue them on 2 mm plasticard under the feet and they work like a blast.

[FramFramson]

I get that the first one is older marines and the last is the Primaris, but what era/range is the middle one from?

It is a mini from the upcoming Blackstone Fortress box we've been discussing for the last couple of pages 

[Verderer]

Does it say Warhammer Quest on the Blackstone Fortress box? I thought that was fantasy, what am I missing? It's a 40k version of WQ?

I kinda like the new Delaques - but maybe more as cultists or other shady characters. Looks like tall and thin is the new style these Necromunda gangs are sculpted in? The esthetic stands out a bit from other 40K minis, especially the older Necromunda gangs. New sculptor or deliberate attempt to make them 'not' work with old minis?

[mcfonz]

Yup - WHQ:40k.

The scale of the Chaos stuff jars me. They have repeatedly said they are not phasing out the old marines when asked about Primaris, and the background suggests that is true.

Suddenly, Chaos Marines just grow a bit.

Deathguard I can sort of understand as they bloat and the armour becomes part of their flesh so stretches and blisters etc.

Other Chaos Marines?

I just wish they'd said "This is the scale we do Marines in now - your old models are still valid but we wanted to use what we've learned to make them true scale" rather than make up the convoluted lore around the Primaris. That way they could've gradually upscaled any other marine variants (including all the Chaos) as time went by. Sure it would've felt annoying to be out of scale if you had old armies but at least there wouldn't be weird lore contradictions.

I was really looking forward to the release of the Delaque gang.
Quite disappointed however at the look of these models.
If I saw them not knowing what they were I think I'd struggle to identify them as such.
To my eye they're not in keeping with the feel of the original gang.

I feel the same way.

I actually like the chaos flesh hounds and what are the others they look good techno barbarian or tribes people fodder .

Completely agree.

[Brummie]

I guess no one noticed that the Chaos Space Marines from the Dark Vengeance Box set were larger than the older Chaos Space Marines, same with the Thousand Sons they're also much larger than the old chaos space marines so I don't see how no one saw it coming.

[Arlequín]

And last but not least....

Any word on how much the Citadel Water for it will be?
