yeah played as a child, first lotr, then fantasy and then a little bit of 40k
for 40k i had a space marine army because they where in the starter box and i liked the bolters, but besides the generic space marines (which could be painted in any color sceme you liked) there where just the wolf chapter (grey wolfs or something?) and the blood angles back then, the other armies where all different races and in my local gw every faction was present.
but a year ago i dusted off my collection, got back into lotr (now mesbg), it was always my main game, but also took a look at the warhammer stuff on the gw website:
More then half the fucking 40k factions are now different flavors of space marines! What happened to coming up with own lore for your space marine chapter/color scheme?
There are now even space marines in fantasy! WTF?! (Stormcast Eternals)
GW became a publicly traded company and has to keep the stock price up. This means flogging whatever sells and pandering to whoever will pay, which means Space Marines all the time for everyone.
