The changes to the Repulsor and the Impulsor, both getting an increased capacity and the Repulsor points drop, would make them SO tasty for the Firestorm Assault Force and would maybe even cause that detachment to see more wins. Too bad literally every other change in 10.5th edition was a negative for the detachment.

[@kennethmacneil686]

You don't get both turrets with the Executioner kit, but the Gladiator turret fits nicely so you can pop that on and now it's a Repulsor.

[@helmut5061]

That is a really weird thing. GW exchanged one sprue with another and raised the price of the new kit. I bought some 3rd party Executioner turret that sits fine on the standard repulsor. Full cost was the same as an executioner but I have both turrets.

[@kennethmacneil686]

That's another great way. No need to buy both versions.

[@guysolomon7904]

I think this change is something I didn't know I needed for my all Gravis Imperial Fists.

I still do not understand why they have not given these things a 2+ armor save. They are supposed to be heavy tanks for pete sake. You put one of these side by side with a Leman Russ, then tell me the smaller tank is the one with a better save. If the worry is that would make their overall stat line too powerful, well that is what points adjustments are for.

Iron storm repex’s were def fun! Into a wounded target, combining the lethals and the mercy is weakness Strat = potential 4 hits at ap-4! Did that into a Russ tank and dealt 16 wounds before even starting rolling for damage.

[@ancientmariner9460]

They were always good but now, after slight buff, they'll probably be a meta of some sort so... Enjoy while it lasts, they'll gonna get pounded to the ground like everything SM related for sure (except divergent chapters) And of course incoming Eradicators nerf - because why not, seems that they'll be meta at some point and ignorant GW will do that at some point also... After all, nothing SM can be good.

[@tajj7]

The reduce in price of the Repulsor is nice but as a BA player, if I am going to take a big transport, then I'd still probably take a Land Raider (now they have made the redeemer so expensive), yeh 60pts more but the 2+ save is big, the assault ramp is important and 4 proper lascannons. I think the executioner has the same issue the Lancer has, good into like other marine or guard vehicles, annoying into anything with a 4+ invul, even if you hit both shots, on average someone will half your damage and it is not that hard to roll two 4 ups and just ignore the whole thing. You need weight of shots imo, it is why the Caladius so good, 4 buffed lascannon shots, hitting on 2s, with lethal hits and re-roll wounds and it is cheaper than an executioner. I'd honestly prefer to take either two Lancers or two vindicators for long range anti-tank than an executioner. Lancers basically do the same job and because of the re-rolls essentially with do similar damage, but are 60 pts cheaper.

[@legatusnavium7060]

Instead of simple increasing armor saves whixh doesn't always make,sense, heavier armor should in addition have AP negating effects. So maybe Repulsor could negate 2 points of AP value and Land Raider could negate 1 point of AP value. Adding AP negating stat to armored units would make it easier to differentiate them in a meaninfull way, in addition to Toughness. I think something like this would make Repulsors and general vehicle gameplay more interesting and i might pick a repulsor for something more than a cost saving move.

[@HelterSkelter199]

The Executioner is still great obviously, if your reserving Eradicators the free trunk space is not to be undervalued if you know you'll be screened out hard. I dunno about the standard Repulsor. seems to me still needs some help to compete with a Crusader for the multiple melee bent unit's I'd want it for. Maybe some kind of out of phase disembark rule thats not quite as good as assault ramp.

[@timunderbakke8756]

Replacing one of my Redeemers with a Repulsor in my Firestorm list. The Aggressors+Captain still need the Redeemer, but the Eradicators and Biologis can be in the Repulsor.

[@cgb1995]

My Repulsor is absolutely going to see play in my BA lists, the executioner... not so much. The Gladiator lancer is 60 points cheaper, has a better special rule and only deals 1 less damage with the same number of shots. 6 transport is fine but for 20 points more I can just take an impulsor that is arguably a better platform to transport a shooting unit like hellblasters or infernus marines.

[@IscariottActual]

BA here too. 6 aggressors with a grav captain going right into the midfield from now until it gets nerfed.

[@XHobbiesPrime]

Honestly I think 3 max squads of Eradicators is always a good thing. Repulsors with 3 max Eradicators with a Biologis just makes sense to use. Can't wait to see some batreps with that setup.

[@moderndavinci6599]

I just finished my Impulsor conversion! I replaced its antigrav with tracks, added a bulldozer bla- oh. This is a REpulsor. Damn you GW!

well if you had 3 redeemers, you can exactly changed one of them to this. they cant charge after moving, but they can get back inside if charged, if you have a units thats oaky with, sure the repulsor is cool

Great video, would have been nice to compare the repuslor with similar things maybe the landraider crusader....the forgotten landraider lol.

I definitely want at least one Repulsor in my Inner Circle Task Force list to transport a full squad of Inner CIrcle Companions with either a Judicar or Asmodai and a full squad of Bladeguard with Bladegaurd Ancient. Granted I do need a land raider so I might use that for my melee troops and add a full squad of hellblasters in the Repulsor

[@reavern]

An unnecessary points cut PLUS the long overdue transport capacity increase (for the Impulsor too) seems like GW wants to SELL A LOT OF REPULSORS! The Land Raider has been one of the most sold vehicles since the start of 10e, but the recent Redeemer nerf to 285 will kill that meta, paving the way for the Repulsor to occupy its spot for 105 points LESS. My Black Templars lists feature at least one Land Raider and I recently had to replace my default Redeemer for the vanilla Land Raider. I’m tempted to use the Repulsor instead because I could use those points to restore the Lieutenant to my Helbrecht + 5 Sword Brethren squad and fit them inside a vehicle with a second SB squad + character. However… I KNOW that if the Repulsor becomes the new meta it’ll just get nerfed one or two quarterly updates down the road. I’m certain this is just a ploy to sell more Repulors.

[@tastefulavenger]

Just don't glue the tanks top turret bit and you're golden to swap between having a repulsor and the executioner variant

[@jeffmartin4472]

Except the hull is different. Turret over the door on the Repulsor. Those turrets are on the main turret on the Executioner. Plus the main turret holes are different sizes.

How should this be possible? The top turret of the repulsor and the repulsor executioner are two completly different sprues which come in DIFFERENT kits. Your comment is just completly wrong and has 5 upvotes. How and why?

[@thelonewolf9866]

@@Backpflaume666 Maybe he means 3D printing the turret of the other variant & swap the turrets out on the same hull to transition from a regular repulsor to an executioner. The turrets are diffrent from one another when you look at them, but the bases of the turret that connects with the tank are the same so swapping them out is therefore not an issue if you have a spare/3d printed turretpiece somewhere.

It's kinda personal preference, if your goal is to deliver the aggressors then I'd go with a landraider as they are pretty good in melee and a landraider has an assault ramp rule that lets them charge into melee after jumping out of the transport.

[@timunderbakke8756]

Personal preference is the honest answer. I want to know where you found NIB for 40% off though.

[@marauder340]

Pick what you like, but the Crusader went down 10 points and fits 6 Aggressors with room for a Biologis and a Gravis Captain. If you have anti-vehicle/monster elsewhere, there's a case to be made for it. Repulsor's nice if what you're transporting doesn't want to risk getting tied up in melee.

[@crazyshak4827]

I'd argue base Repulsors might be better for Aggressors now than the Redeemer. I think charging out of the Assault Ramp often leave your Aggressors exposed, when you're really trying to do their shooting combos. Get close, nuke something, jump in the bus if countercharged. And if your opponent does kill the Repulsor in melee, pile back in and punch the crap out of them. I think it gives more opportunities to use your big shooting combos, especially if you pair it with other heavy threats your opponent can't ignore.

I still want to know why the Repulsor gets increased transport capacity but the Executioner variant doesn't. There has to be more of a reason than for how many guns it has.
