Even with all those upgrades and tables, the codex somehow sounds ”down to earth” like the current DA codex. Does it feel the same? Like a careful approach to a new edition of rules?
It's got a lot of random aspects to it, but for the most part the benefits are different not necessarily better (except the potential to be a spawn or a prince in one particular case).
It also really has this feeling of "you get what you pay for," a lot of options are not mutually exclusive, letting you really lavish upgrade after upgrade on the same model(s). This is even the case for Aspiring Champions who have a ton of options that will make Space Marine sergeants feel under-appreciated by their chapter.

- Which weapons of Plaguemarines are poisoned? CC weapons, Shooty weapons or both?
Only close combat attacks are poisoned, but they are immune to the effects of poison now (probably why poisoned weapons all have actual strength now, and not just STR X).
