I think they are only slightly taller, but the big thing is they are way more proportional so they look bigger. Long Bolters, Tiny Shoulder pads and Better Leg Torso Ratio are cool and good.

Frankly GW accepting that they hosed up and realizing that they need as much of a fresh start as their games isn't a bad thing.

The big question is whether or not they gently caress up the fresh start.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW SCOTLAND'S PROPOSED TRANS LEGISLATION IS DIVISIVE AS HELL BECAUSE IT IS SO SWEEPING THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ABUSED AT A TIME WHERE THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR WOMEN HAS BEEN SO GLARING
Better proportioned marines is a good thing, their super serious Grimdark games will look less goofy. Now they will have to start making the vehicles less goofy to match though.

If existing codices are going to be incompatible that is a strong sign that they are making significant rules changes in an effort to improve gameplay and balance.

If they can actually pull it off, or at least be said to have objectively reduced the legacy issues by a significant margin, then that would be a good thing.

Unless they utterly screw it up, it will be a good year for 40k as marine armies get upgraded and books get shifted I'm bulk as rules and new codices roll out.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

A lot of people were irritated because GW got all the community/legacy stuff pulled across the web, which seemed harsh given that it was all those people that kept the game alive. Then I think they didn't actually use many of the developments from the community editions. There were probably other things.

Maybe GW will do something right with 40k. Last time they did a complete revamp in 3ed it did improve the game a lot. They just didn't stick to it.

I'm surprised that the new marines turned out to be real.

I'm pleasantly surprised that they're wiping the slate clean, because 7th edition rules were a garbage fire mess. Now the question is whether the new rules will actually be OK or just another step in their odd march back toward the game's lovely 2nd edition rules
