The community reaction to these was so angry, but like how people just kind of move on and get used to stuff (like Centurions which had a similar online reaction) no one really complains about them anymore - ThreadSky

I think the only true victim of the communities dislike was the Horus Heresy space wolf heads.

theshawnmorris.bsky.social•33 days ago

The guy, the ultramarine guy…Cato Sicarous got a new face as well.

esthiru.bsky.social•33 days ago

Such a shame.
Look at those happi bois.

totalatom.bsky.social•33 days ago

They were the best of bois…

dragcrab.bsky.social•33 days ago

I mean...not super vicious but still friend shaped for a very not friend legion X3

goldenaxedoom.bsky.social•33 days ago

i have a squad of them and think they are fuckign awesome

nighttrace.org•33 days ago

I think they are very stupid, however I am also not a Space Marine player so my investment is not high.

zackonline.bsky.social•33 days ago

I wasnt like upset over them but i definitely think these guys would be better if they were shoulder fired rather than this pseudo rifle setup

Someone mentioned these guns would be awesome if they were mounted on gravis plate and I absolutely agree

warwych-druchii.bsky.social•33 days ago

I was kinda hoping they would be in the Combat Patrol Mag extras, but alas I will just have to pick them up at some point. (I'm hoping there are spare options as I want to give some to my Loota Orks as well)

rwjp.bsky.social•33 days ago

Same as the reaction to the "hole" in the bottom of the Rogal Dorn... At least a week of bleating and complaining, multiple videos from content creators on Youtube etc, and now forgotten.

lennon-s.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's because people finally admitted they look cool as hell

grizzlyactual.bsky.social•33 days ago

They’re goofy but that’s about it. I was more disappointed that they’re standard tacticus with standard poses. 🤣

At least the extra rockets and stuff are good for kitbash fodder.

garhdo.bsky.social•33 days ago

I like them, they would just be better if they were shoulder mounted

caidh.bsky.social•33 days ago

what even would be the problem with them?? These just look awesome

tubbles.bsky.social•33 days ago

The number of Space Marine fans I've met in person who really hate the goofy stuff would basically just be the same thing as the number of Space Marine fans I've met in person.

bitshammer.bsky.social•33 days ago

So they have no taste

skinned-yeen.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nerf guns :(

Just a shame cus SM Devs were my fave firstborn unit.

I hope we get some dedicated primaris lasconnon squad at somepoint, cus im still not a fan of these guys.

bitshammer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Heavy las and plasma ate the two builds we are still missing unless you count those snipers for the las

doubtingdjala.bsky.social•33 days ago

I still can't take them seriously, but they are what they are.

apothecyte.bsky.social•33 days ago

my only disappointment is that I've seen an edit of their gear on Gravis armour and it looks so much better.

dangerzone979.bsky.social•33 days ago

Easily the worst SM model I've seen to date but I also have good taste and play Tau so I'm not pressed about them

minawoods.bsky.social•33 days ago

Tbh I still aren't a big fan of these models. I dunno why they just...don't hold much appeal to me?

minawoods.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think its cause they look a bit like something War Machine would use in Marvel.

But I don't get the vitriol toward them. They're just some models I aren't too keen on. Like its not a big deal.

thenoble117.bsky.social•33 days ago

No one brings them up because no one plays them. My local gamestore has like 20 space marine players. None have these guys but I’ve seen centurions on table before.

mynameisvu.bsky.social•33 days ago

The community...

dragcrab.bsky.social•33 days ago

I dont see what the problem is? Anyway im going to go back to play more Ratchet and Clank. X3 Love silly weapons.

ispago.bsky.social•32 days ago

For better/worse it seems the community just ignore these exists and use any other of the 12 anti tank options marines have

maliceunchained.bsky.social•33 days ago

I could start it up again if you'd like.

bitshammer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nah

maliceunchained.bsky.social•33 days ago

Valid.

flatmouse.bsky.social•33 days ago

This cartoonishly overbuilt weapon really ruins the serious realism of my bright blue giant football players with pyramid legs.

just-gut.bsky.social•33 days ago

I *vastly* prefer this version

tensei.koffie-fandom.org•33 days ago

Rather then get used to it, they probably just got too tired to overreact

I don't know about you, but if I got a suit of power armor that expands my carrying capacity, I would want a giant fucking gun too

thedukexx99.bsky.social•33 days ago

I find it so funny centurions used to be the punchline now morons are like 'suol' and post them. I love the missile launcher guys it's so funny

bitshammer.bsky.social•33 days ago

"Soul" is apparently anything 3 editions old or older.

toast3y.bsky.social•33 days ago

Definitely was a bit offput at the time, but if I had 5 of them with the same massive rocket launcher as the Sergeant, I'd buy them every time I saw a box on the shelf!

Maybe they can fit into my Crusade force 🤔

frying-pan-5467sfw.bsky.social•32 days ago

People were mad about that? Those go hard as fuck

maxcarnage.bsky.social•33 days ago

I love them so much. The Sergeant holding his man-sized rocket launcher with one hand while he aims his pistol is peak

cerberusxt.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, that was a weird overreaction.

monsters-workshop.bsky.social•33 days ago

I still dislike them but i have a fix the big rockets i wanted to mount them on the backpack sensor or the back of backpack with the gun being more of a markerlight the missiles then fire from the back mount.

wodostheratlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

It really shows me how most people don't get what 40k was supposed to be. As far as I'm concerned, if your weapon isn't some ridiculous, impractical, over-engineered cartoon gizmo that no real-life soldier would ever consider fighting with, you're not doing it right!

davidaug.bsky.social•33 days ago

THAT'S what people were mad about???
I literally couldn't figure out what the problem was supposed to be!
40K has an entire faction that uses the power of imagination to build guns the size of minivans out of scrap metal!!!
And you're mad about unrealistic guns???

wodostheratlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

Tanks with stained glass windows. TANKS with STAINED GLASS WINDOWS.

amandamontagne01.bsky.social•33 days ago

Hell, why aren't they mad about CHAINSWORDS AND CHAINAXES.

Or that that the Death Korp of Krieg use literal fucking calvary (complete with adorable gas masks for their horses) WITH EXPLOSIVE-TIPPED LANCES.

wodostheratlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is why they're not called the Staying Alive Korp of Krieg.

quadraticink.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's a setting with canonical chainsaw swords. Like... How is this a discussion?

wodostheratlord.bsky.social•33 days ago

I love to point out that if running into combat swinging a chainsaw in real life were a good idea, we'd already be doing it. There are good reasons why we don't, and the fact that it's normal in 40k proves that the setting is supposed to be outlandish.

docrods.bsky.social•33 days ago

Commissars waving chainswords from tanks etc

iowaakimbo.bsky.social•33 days ago

My reaction was just. “Yeah those are pretty goofy lookin.” And then I moved on

keimori.bsky.social•33 days ago

I unironicly want to collect these guys one day and build em as is. I love these dorks.

thesteelwolf.bsky.social•33 days ago

Personally I still think these weapons are horrible looking, they would make some sense as Ork gear but that's it
