Marshal Reinhard

Not sure why I haven't considered giving a halberd to any of my swordbrethren. It fits him really nicely.

Something I'd be willing to consider if we had a modern kit... at some point ill probably just get a heresy one

Yes please.

There's an accepted viewpoint. Agreeing with the accepted viewpoint is not political. Not agreeing with the accepted viewpoint means its political and therefor strictly against the rules.

While I think the marine range is overpopulated, I'm always to loathe to advocate for dropping units I don't like (or other people's special characters for that matter) as there's always someone out there who does like them. It's why I'll always advocate for consolidating units and improving lacking designs instead as much as possible. Give Surpressors better jump packs and perhaps a little more wieldy looking guns. Make centurions sleeker and into something that might look like it could move. The Fire raptor exists, so cool marine flyers are possible. If rules are in the way or make the unit lend themselves to skew lists, fix em. Etc.

I feel it's time GW just committed to a single path forward. At one point I thought it meant squatting classic marines, but with how they've handled terminators and units such as sternguard, it now more seems combining classic and primaris seems is the way they're going. Now they just need to commit. It's high time that the distinction between C and P is dropped completely. Make all classic marines of all marks are the same as Tacticus primaris marines. Have one sheet for each character with access to all options, new and old. Make boltguns+spec&heavy weapon a loadout for intercessors, etc. The amount of kits available to the marine range is frankly a little absurd, and 10th editions wish to then split every possible option into its own sheet compounds the issue.

Yes

I'd prefer we get a dedicated terminator ancient model. And I need new assault termies. Bag assault centurions instead.

Well for certainly they do, as you are not me or vice versa. I think we agree in large part. A point where we might not is just how encompassing this agreed upon framework is. I'd guess my idea of the shared framework is so detailed that it includes the return of Guilliman and the destruction of Cadia, it's not something I feel like I can just write out, regardless of how I feel about these events.

Again, you can do what you want. Always been the case, but the cost of this complete freedom, is it also stops being shared at the point when it starts contradicting what's true for others. I guess that's the extent of my point.

I wish I could both disagree and agree with a post at the same time. I'm with you that part of the hobby is making the setting your own. Always been a part of it, especially in the sense of "your guys". You can do anything with that. You essentially bringing your own little fanfiction into the greater whole. But you lose me when you start talking about denying the return of Guiliman, or the destruction of Cadia. Now you're firmly in fanfiction territory. Which is.. ok? Fine? You do you. But you've lost all applicability towards the rest of the fandom. If the argument is "my headcanon can be what I want it to be", then sure? But it will be firmly ignored by everything going forward.

Checkers are life, checkers are love.

Neither the Primarch-genie nor the titanic-unit-genie weill go back in their respective bottle.
