So while GW didn’t say much about rotation, it’s already happened a few times. If you look, they are all Firstborn models, and we assume the ones that were not selling well. GW didn’t say much about it when it was happening other than these models were leaving their webstore. Some of the more recent ones you can see above and below: Firstborn Space Marines Product Rotation:īefore we go further, there has already been a fairly recent rotation of the Firstborn this is what GW calls their last chance to buy list. Now, let’s move into what may be happening with 10th Edition. Still, throughout 9th Edition, we never saw a mass extinction, Thanos Snap, Order 66, or whatever you want to call it, of Firstborn units. Even the Horus Heresy Marines were upscaled, so pretty interesting. While they haven’t had direct replacements (such as a devastator squad of Primaris with the exact weapons), almost every character sculpt has gone Primaris.Įven though there are no direct replacements, things are about as close as you can get, such as Outriders, Eradicators, and ATVs. Moving through 9th Edition, we really only saw Primaris releases with a few small characters here and there that are still Firstborn. However, GW has kept around Firstborn up until now and seems to be intent phasing them out much slower via rotations and moves Legends, than we expected. This was a pretty unsubtle way to revamp the line. Primaris were introduced at the start of 8th Edition, and ever since then, people have been concerned that their collection would become unplayable, and understandably so. It also mirrors some of what we had heard from attendees at the show. This comes from GW’s Warhammer Fest Q&A via Valdrana published by Auspex Tactics.
