I have no problem with the new models, sure some of it isn't my kind of thing but that has always been the case.
For me one of the big draws of 40k was the empire in decline narrative. Ancient technology being kept alive by techno-priests, the fact that most of the technology is irreplaceable, the emperor who created these super humans is a corpse so this is what we have. It isn't going to get better. Primaris marines sort of shit all over that.
I won't be buying any, but fair play to folks who do. Hobbies are about what you enjoy, not what other folks will.
A sad day indeed, I still don't understand why they didn't just do a redesign instead of the whole Primaris thing.
The miniatures for the Horus Heresy are great, so updating old kits with new ones could have worked really well.
I know exactly what you mean, I still have the big catalogues from the start of the 90s and am very guilty of staring at them for too long.
And then foolishly looking at the price of the miniatures on eBay! Oh my
