War Angel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Anyone notice the description on GW’s webstore? Says it’s armed with krakstorm. I doubt they would do this, but they could keep it out of reach of the other codexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It's still a strange arguement mainly in that whole RAW vs RAI discussion. Seeing the posts on Battlescribe they have only included it in the standard SW roster for now and not the others which is frustrating. It would be nice to get some official word from GW on this quickly just to clear things up. Absolutely. In fact, I'd really prefer they put the whole thing to bed forever for everyone rather than having to wait for a confirmation that we don't even know will come. Interestingly, it doesn't appear in the chapter specific web stores yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, it doesn't appear in the chapter specific web stores yet either. Maybe they think they've been clear here without realizing people have been doing their own thing for so long that it's still a bit murky. I completely understand the situation with Deathwatch, Grey Knights, and Legion of the Damned having no access to these new units until otherwise stated. But for the Codex and big 3 brothers, it should honestly be handled permanently so that it's always yea. That being said...the more the merrier!

Can’t imagine they won’t have access to this fairly soon. I have to give credit that at least this new GW (5th edition returnee) sure uses the internet to better effect than they ever use to, responding to customer needs and their own slip ups. Not perfect but quantum levels better. Lemondish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect but quantum levels better. I dont want everything +. I would like for more unique options locked to codex space marine 2.0 proper to make them more different. But the * with that is, GW needs to be upfront about what will and what will not work with the other chapters before the preorder.

Panzer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I'd be perfectly fine if BA wouldn't get the Executioner and instead something else to be honest. It just doesn't seem like GW is doing that quite yet (if ever) for Primaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 So good. I don't understand how GW messed up the design on the Repulsor/Exterminator so bad compared to this. If this is easy to do, I might even get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 it was relatively easy, just hard finding the bits separate for the hunter kill tank. so I bought one and will use the extras over the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That's a pretty cool conversion. I personally prefer the regular build but I can see the appeal in what you've gone for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 It looks good, but I'm not sure I like it all that much better than the default design. Then again I don't really mind the default design anyway. Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The original appeals to some and not others same as any tank, of course - my position is subjective. But I do believe this conversion is superior to any version I've seen. Hmm. I think I know why too. It reminds me of Command and Conquer!

Marshal Reinhard Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If I'm honest, the fact that i can clearly see that that the sides to the turret cannon are repurposed repulsor plates, bother me. Not sure if anything could be done, or if even its desirable (maybe no else is bothered by it). I imagine when the edges are smoothed up, that'll help Love the creativity with the replacement of the HOGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Interestingly, it doesn't appear in the chapter specific web stores yet either. This isn't to surprising the space wolf web store doesn't have several of the choices that are in the codex. I'll probably email them about this because they should be more transparent about this stuff. Space Wolves have apocalypse rules for it so I'm confident I can take it but they should be more clear.

Official word via their Facebook page is we cant use it atm. So email and ask about it. Blood Angel's also have apocalypse rules which means that hasn't got much to do with it.

Black Knight Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Does anyone think that there will be some "Upgrade Kits" so that we could possibly make a normal Repulsor into the new one? Or is it too big an upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoic Raptor Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 They could as easily have made it like the Razorback - the parts that make it into a Razorback are interchangeable with a regular Rhino, some players have even magnetized the roof panel to switch back and forth. I'm sure, if they wanted to, they could have done it like that, perhaps even sold the turret sprue as an upgrade kit the way they did some of the Land Raider and Predator sprues.

Panzer Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Of course they could have. They didn't though, so an upgrade sprue for the regular Repulsor won't be a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGibs Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) So, in a mid-day delirium, I ordered a Repulsor Executioner for my retromarines, because it's a big tank and I like big tanks. Problem: The thing looks like a cinderblock rolled in lego bricks. Solution: round that sucker out, cold war style! I sanded down the beveled edges to fit more with my 1950's army aesthetic, and replaced the turret with part of a kharadron airship-orb. I tried to consolidate the weapon systems a bit as well, because jesus they're all over the place. Mounted the gatlinggun in the hull, the stormbolters to the turret/rear (seriously, kind of AA mount are the icarus stubbers supposed to be?) and then used a dunecrawler rocket pod to counts-as everything else (heavy bolters, fragstorm launchers, stubbers) http://mcgibs.com/wp-content/gallery/workbench/retromarines_repulsortank_wip01.jpg Edited July 19, 2019 by McGibs Sergeant Centurion, Dracos, Captain Idaho and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
