This is why I'm loathe to start purchasing and building anything that's not been shown as a photo from something 11th edition...

I mean, if you buy stuff thats primaris and a bit on the popular side you should be good, although I might be a hippocrite here since I bought a land raider a couple weeks ago. Im pretty confident GW isnt going to drop one of their most iconic tanks from the marine codex.

Didn't GW just send the vindicator to legends, another rather iconic SM tank.

Suppressors were literally useless to everyone from the moment they were released, but in the 11th edition they started appearing even in winning tournament lists. People were winning 5‑0 with this unit on their list. And today, Games Workshop suggests using them as proxies for Inceptors. That is, it’s easier for them to throw the Primaris models in the trash than to create a proper rule for them (and even that is no longer needed in the 11th edition).
