I don't think anyone else has covered this yet

 

 

 

First one is a heavy laser destroyer, so finally some proper AT for Primaris. Second is a macro plasma incinerator - same weapon as the Redemptor? I can't remember what it's huge plasma weapon is called.

 

Ishagu, contain yourself lad

Ughh.

I s really hoping for a new hull


But this confirms to mass that the repulsor is the rhino/predator replacement

Alright that was unexpected. Curious about the Heavy Laser Destroyer variant. Sounds to me like it completely replaces the Lastalon variant of the regular Repulsor since the article mentions the Repulsor Executioner still has transport capacity as well (probably just 5 instead of 10, but Primaris are expensive and this tank won't help so who has points for 10 anyway )

Was hoping for turret-less variant, with 10 primaris capacity.

I don't think so. It's described on WarCon as a battle tank. So it's the quad-las Predator to the Repulsor's dual las Razorback. Assuming the pricing is right, both will have a place for different situations (hopefully).

Considering the big bulk of points doesn't come from it's turret I never understood that position tbh.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Lets see about the points cost for this guy. But I like how GW tells AdMech players "we heard you" and Primaris players ask for a cheap transport and get a main battle tank with moderat transport capability ^^

[Triszin]

Also it has a twinlinked hailstorm auto Cannon at the rear

Or whatever it's called

The profiles are still pretty big and the dual turret weapons seem odd, but I can work with this. Pretty excited to try some conversions, honestly.

There are no stormbolter/fragstorm grenade launcher turrets over the doors and on one pic no Krakstorm grenade launcher on the turret and no auto-launchers on the turret. Instead it has a bigger main cannon and an improved rear gun (which was only cherry on the top anyway) and the article still says " [...] the Repulsor Executioner has a modest transport capacity, allowing you to disgorge a squad of Primaris Space Marines to finish off anyone with the audacity to stay standing."

[Subtleknife]

Looks nice. Presume the repulsor platform will morph to be like the rhino platform for regular marines

[Warhead01]

This is what I need! Can't wait! 
When will this be released?

It looks like it has literally the same equipment except for the main cannon and the rear weapon (which is only cherry on top anyway) and the article says "[...] the Repulsor Executioner has a modest transport capacity, allowing you to disgorge a squad of Primaris Space Marines to finish off anyone with the audacity to stay standing."

 

 

Ahh, I missed the bit about it having a smaller transport capacity. It's going to cost a bomb then!

[Dark Shepherd]

On the plus side it looks like it can be built without a lot of the bells and whistles weapons, min build the 2 turret heavy weapons, 2 or 3 storm bolters, and twin heavy bolter

Plasma build would then clock in at about 250 points

And no weapons above the doors looks interesting for a more transporty version

Downside is capacity of 5 rules out character plus a squad

Edited by Dark Shepherd, 11 May 2019 - 11:15 AM.

[MistaGav]

Just noticed it doesn't have the storm bolsters on the side so it's a slightly different chassis. This could be the long ranged anti tank primaris have been wanting but my main concern is the point cost. I could easily see it being 300-400 points.

[Toxichobbit]

The storm bolters are mounted at the rear of the turret, as shown in this picture.

And, just in case anyone survives, the Repulsor Executioner has a modest transport capacity, allowing you to disgorge a squad of Primaris Space Marines to finish off anyone with the audacity to stay standing.

[redmapa]

On one hand the marine tank is pretty much the most uncreative model Ive seen, literally a Repulsor with yet another gun, on the other hand I dont have a Repulsor so I might get a couple of them. I guess the Repulsor is the new Rhino and it makes sense I guess that its just a transport plus a gun much like the predator. Its just so meh, I was expecting more.

At least it gives Primaris some anti tank.

[01RTB01]

Presumably with a smaller capacity? Super Razorback?

Edit: What the hell is going on with that flying stand?

 

Yeah I just noticed it too looking at it for the fifth time or so. Weird decision but I don't complain. Makes it a bit easier to distinguish them on the board. ^^

[Reinhard]

Interesting. So, it's lost a lot of the smaller weapons (Eh, only the ones over the side doors really... the rear stubber also seems twinlinked now ) but the turrets been upsized and to take huge new main gun, and both setups have a heavy onslaught as a secondary turret weapon. Think it might be restricted to it?

 

Front still has the heavy bolters... I'll be interested to know wether we can still use lascannons on it, and if the onslaught can be replaced with the lasripper like before.

 

Curious what the new big gun is. The plasma is just the regular one we already find on redemptors, right? Might we eventually find the new gun for use on redemptors too?

 

Oh, and I want to have a look at the alternate techmarine helm of the gunner. Might be rad for conversions.

 

EDIT: Oh. So it hasn't lost the storm bolters, they're just facing back.

Do the rear turret storm bolters replace one of the original's various grenade launchers? The original Repulsor has so many guns that I can't remember how many there were on the turret

 

Edit: never mind, just checked. There is the same amount of grenade launchers on the new ones as on the originat. The rear storm bolters are in addition to them (so basically the side door guns moved).

I'd be happier without the transport capacity. The Land Raider struggles enough with its identity. It both wants to be sitting back dropping Las way out of combat range, while also being in the fray dropping Terminators.

 

Edit: Repulsor for easy comparison

Edited by Brother Adelard, 11 May 2019 - 11:24 AM.

[m_r_parker]

Disappointing...

 

The Repulsor is a frequent topic of conversation at our local store, specifically that it's the only transport for Primaris scale marines and yet it's so expensive because of all of the weapons that have to be stuck on it. The points balancing due to it filling so many roles leaves a lot of people scratching their heads, and looking for other options in both points and pounds.

 

To double down on this, jeesh. Having a Repulsor equivalent to a Vindicator, with no transport capacity, would be pretty cool. Having a Repulsor equivalent with fewer weapons and an increased transport capacity would be pretty good too. Heck, I'd be happy with Primaris being able to use Land Raiders for more transport choice. It just feels lack a lack of creativity for someone to go "Let's have a new Repulsor, but with a BIGGER gun..." instead of exploring the new Cawl aesthetic in other ways.

 

This is going to cost sooo many points...

[Warhead01]

I have 2 repulsors now and was thinking about a third. I am really glad this popped up. 
Figuring T8, 16 wounds and <fly>. Hope we can trade the Twin Heavy Bolters for more Las. Or the Gatling Cannon for the Las-talon. I would love a very dedicated big tank/big monster slayer. I am expecting a transport of only 5 but would be glad for 6.
