So let's start from the point that I admit both significant ignorance of and interest in 30K. If I am reading things correctly, classic marines are appropriately scaled for 30K. I have a lot of them, albeit painted as 40K DA. I also have a contemptor, a FW Spartan, and several alpha gen Rhinos as well as Predators. I also have 40K templates that I held on to (okay, some have been used as coasters but what greybeard hasn't?) and a whack load of dice in all denominations. If the scale is accurate, it seems to make sense that I limit my purchases to the core book, the Liber Astartes book, and some parts boxes rather than the big box. Would this be a fair assessment? Yeah most of it is even canon- the Mk 7 plate in popular use for most of the classic 40k era was technically developed and available in limited quantities by the end of the Heresy. A lot of stuff will carry over just slightly different organization. Legion tacs only carry bolters and offload special weapons to dedicated squads. Razorbacks haven't been invented yet. Most classic vehicles like rhinos, predators, vindicators and land raiders all exist pretty much totally unchanged from their classic 40k configurations (and the Mars patterns were also available in the heresy!). Even washing machine dreads were available as a cheaper alternative to contemptors. Basically it's a very easy jump for anyone with firstborn stuff who doesn't want to buy a whole new army.

If it's anything like the other warhammers in the aftermath of the launch there should be extra core books floating around

At the very least it was announced that it would be back after it sold out in the webstore in less than an hour.

Well if anyone wants a preview/review of the new rules before they get the book etc, Auspex Tactics delivers (in a 1.5 hour long video, so get comfy).
