slitth Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Now that we have see the new Repulsor Executioner I was wondering if people idea to make customer versions of the standard Repulsor and the Executioner I was personally thinking about making at door replacement so I can swap the turret of the Executioner from battle to battle. That way I can have a normal main battle in a official battle and a pure transport version for the more casual battles. Prepare something akin to the Deimos Rhino Doors, that would give it a cool top side view. What about you? Are you just gonna do a standard version or are you gonna spice things up for the rule of cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 How about something akin to a Damocles command vehicle? Would be most interested in versions that “update” HH Astartes vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitth Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) How about something akin to a Damocles command vehicle? Would be most interested in versions that “update” HH Astartes vehicles. Like remove the turret and give it the command dish? The one in the shape of the imperial eagle from the Rhino Primaris would look nice on top of a Repulsor. If you can get your hands on one. That would be a easy conversion and as long as you can swap it with a turret you will have a tank you can use in official games.

Stoic Raptor Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm surprised that it isn't just a conversion sprue for the existing kit - hopefully GW will make the new turret available separately as they have for the Annihilator, Crusader, etc. Subtleknife 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoic Raptor Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I hadn't really noticed a difference, aside from the obvious top plate. What did I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I hadn't really noticed a difference, aside from the obvious top plate. What did I miss? Mostly just that the Stormbolters aren't over the doors anymore. Instead they are part of the turret now. I also think some of the decorative bits you can tack on the back are different but that wouldn't be much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the hull of the tank and one for the turret. Of course the 2 boxes should cost the same as the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it just comes with a separate piece to cover the area. Thus, the same hull.

Just looks like another spot to put the auto launchers. Actually like that way better than on the turret (which is what we see for most Repulsors).

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not sure we can trust where this person has put the weapons. it's got different launchers on the left and right side. Triszin and Panzer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Can someone confirm whether the doors FW produce for Rhinos/Land Raiders fit the doorways for the Repulsor? They appear to and that would be a great way to customise a Repulsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If I recall correctly the Repulsor has different doors. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Land Raider doors are too large but allegedly rhino doors fit. Too bad Forgeworld abandoned the ones I gave a hoot about years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placement of stowage and ancillary weaponry is at the builders discretion. It's such an easy release for FW considering they released a giant hover tank - blimey they should get cracking! They already have ;) Just use the purpose built ones instead of Rhino doors (if you can).

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I meant in sense that what he's showing might not be a legal build. Since you replace both of them at the same time for something else. But sure, maybe its the one of a singular on the one side, and the one of another singular weapon on the other, and so it doesn't matter what they are. But for the standard repulsor, and for the "standard" placement of its weaponry, those on the sides of turret are replaced as a single pair at once.

Exilyth Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Mhh... I'm sure with a bit of polystyrene sheet and some tubing, one could repurpose the frag launchers to build something whilwind-esque. But without rules, the only use would be as counts-as or terrain/objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I wouldn’t mind tearing out the turret and replacing it with an earthshaker. Nothing wrong with a little hover artillery, is there? Primaris have lr-AT, now they need lr-AH. Artillery’d do the job nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'd love to see a Venerable Repulsor. Something in the vain of that special command Landraider - more bling and pomp, perhaps one reserved for Chapter Masters and with access to unique weapons.

Ishagu Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I think the new variant might have us covered if the weapon is as effective as they claim. I actually think FW is in a prime position here. Why haven't they released custom turrets and custom arms for the Repulsors and Redemptors? Think about all the unique weapon arm option they've done for the various Dreads, as well as the dozens of Predator and Razorback variations that basically amount to different turret options. They're sitting on a potential gold mine. Picture a Quad Las Cannon Redemptor, or a Repulsor with a large Plasma Cannon or double Gatling turret? These are easily done by FW...
