Is there a size comparison with the Primaris Marines and the regular Marines available?

Looks amazing. Great to see Nurgle getting some love.

Here's one:

Their heads and shoulder pads are the same size as the old Marines', and they're going to be interchangeable so you can make them whatever chapter you want. That said, I think the Primaris Marines in the starter box set are push fit so they might not be as customisable.

The scale is much, much better.

I dont play the tabletop game, more into the novels, have painted a few marines (currently all on the top of my keyboard lol) Was planning on getting one of theHeresey era boxed games for the miniatures, but these new Primaris marines and Death guard are gorgeous, so will be picking this up instead, £95 for the Dark Imperium seems pretty decent deal, 40 dd miniatures, rules/lore. Probably end up around £80-85 at indies, which will be even better.

I'm very tempted by that box but I still have a gooseberry fool load of miniatures to paint and I just went and spent £100 on Walking Dead All Out War wave 2 minis.

Don't do it Tragic, try to do what no-one else does and actually finish an army/game to play before moving onto something else, or you'll end up with freakishly mutated minis of different colour schemes and techniques and then have to invent lore just to justify why one bunch is lime green and the other is bleach/red and one is bright blue with lightning patterns for some reason.

Gawd they've butchered those two on the left. :dread: The eyes on the second one remind me of when I was 10 years old and had a single standard brush.

I wish I had the patience and money to get back into this. :( God only knows what I'd collect though, everything looks so cool now.

I've seen the Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Tau gifs, but the rest are new to me. Excellent work. Makes me want a 40k-themed 2D sidescrolling platformer/shooter along the lines of Contra or Alien: Isolation.

I'd love to see some Warhammer Fantasy gifs, too.
