Kinda makes you feel bad about all the name jokes that have been flying around whenever noble Guilliman was mentioned.

I'm pretty sure they have a high chance of exploding on use

Just exploding? Granted its a very big downside but if that's about it then color me impressed.

Nah. He's one of my favorite characters in this franchise and I don't really mind.

I think he's coming to Vigilus in the end to try sort stuff out and to stop Chaos from doing further damage. I mean, it makes sense unless he's elsewhere fighting an equally as important conflict.

The trailer's gonna start with the Ultras in a fight, but a small Warp Rift opens. And then Valrak's dreams will come true as Fulgrim emerges from the warp and is like "Hello, Brother, I'm here to end your little petty crusade."

Yeah they have a reasonable chance of exploding but have a higher strength and better armour penetration meaning they are very useful against "tougher" or better armoured infantry and light vehicles.
Fluff wise they are vastly more complicated than say a bolter as they have an itty bitty fusion reactor and a magnetic accelerator.

The new primaris versions are if used normally less explody but you can over charge them to regain ye olde kaboom fun.

The "Crusade" novella has an explosion happen to an unfortunate Primaris during the final fight.

A lot of the Primaris Hellblaster models all have cybernetic arms and, if assembled without a helmet, scarred faces as a result of their weapons going boom as well, I believe.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
