Editing Repulsor Tank (section)

=== Crunch ===

When it was added to the game in 8th, the Repulsor was billed as the main dedicated transport option for primaris units, even though its stat line (and cost) had more in common with a Land Raider than a Rhino. This made it an ineffective transport, to say the least, and calls for a faster, lighter, and cheaper transport continued until the Impulsor premiered more than a year later. By 9th, the Repulsor was switched to the Heavy Support role, where it likely should have been placed since the beginning.

Stat-wise, the Repulsor sits in the same weight class as the Land Raider, but trades the former's 2+ armour save for an "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to its weapons. Just about every gun can be traded out, making it a nightmare to magnetize. Fortunately, the move to 9th has streamlined things a bit. Its Icarus weapons lost their penalty to hit non-flyers and its auto launchers now only grant it the Smokescreen keyword. Indeed, the Repulsor has become a decent, but not amazing weapon platform platform, and without CORE, it will lack crucial support from the rest of your army. However, its one of the only ways to Mk X Gravis models across the battlefield.
