Scout-Primaris model link

I've just been gluing torsos to legs on some scouts and notice an interesting link between the models. The scout torso has always looked more stripped down and mobile, having the smaller chest piece with stomach armour. The mark x armour too has this design feature, albeit more detailed with a second stomach plate.

I know its not a big deal but I'd hedge a bet that this was an intentional move on the design teams part to tie in the older models to the new range, helping to make armies more cohesive. After seeing how well they've tied in the mechanicus amd imperialis terrain it seems too similar to be a coincidence.


Just a thought I had that I though I'd put out there.

Happy New Year all,
