use the catalog.

I'm hype for Calgarmus Prime.

Lorewise normal marines are not "upgraded" to Primaris Marines. Primaris Marines are produced completely separately from regular marines, the details of their production is still unknown.
Samuel Lewis
You're wrong, the confirmed that Marines can be upgraded to Primaris Marines in the live Q&A.

I still don't like them and feel as if they're yet another symptom of the current writers either intentionally or unintentionally missing the point of 40k (which, yes, I know happened in the transition between 2nd and 3rd edition). As such they're just one more nail in the coffin as to why I'm going to back off from the TT/modern fluff in practice and just stick with the RPG community.
Mason Brooks
its fine with me.
They've tried improving marines a few times already in the lore. They can succeed for once in 10000 years.
Adrian Hernandez
My concern with that bit of lore is that it will fuel the replacement of regular marines.
I don't want marinelets senpai.
What will be awful is the decade long grind of them slowly replacing things like Thunderwolf Calvary and Death Company to the scale.
REEEEE

Mostly unnecessary but harmless.
Though from a narrative viewpoint I would have preferred either lesser marines (mass produced because HOLY SHIT THE GALAXY IS DYING) or even better "domesticated" marines, as new marines were the occasion for Terra to get the reins on those pesky independent chapters and form ultra obedient marines. Some sort of "hounds of Terra" we could love to hate, making regular marines more likeable.
Not really possible with Guilliman around I know, but I would have found it more interesting than another batch of marine+
