	Well it seems that /tg/'s complaints about the [[Primaris Space Marines\|Primaris']] lack of a proper transport have finally been answered. Behold, for GW has given us the Impulsor ... which is, for all intents and purposes, a ~~flying~~ [[Rhino]]. Seriously, we would not be surprised if the Impulsor was a literal hand-me-down of the [[Adeptus Custodes\|Custodes]] and [[Sisters of Silence]]' mothballed [[Grav-Rhino]].

	That truck bed does, however, grant it the Assault Vehicle special rule, which means that as a transport it can uniquely deploy your models '''after''' moving— with the downside that your disembarked units then can't charge that turn.
