Invictor Tactical Warsuit

We Mech Warrior now!

Welp, it seems like the Primaris Space Marines had nicked off the designs from the oldschool Eldar War Walkers and a Grey Knight Dreadknight and somehow manage to fit the whole thing inside a Dreadnought chassis. This, mind you, is NOT a good thing at all. Or, for those non-40kers out there, it resembles the love child of the AMP Suits from Avatar and the Power Loaders from Aliens.

The Invictor Tactical Warsuit is a new Primaris walker and one that has officially made the 'fabled Dreadnight impotent. This machine are for those Space Marines who want to play around as a Dreadnought without suffering the much needed side affects of being permanently interned into. Consequently enough, only Vanguard Primaris are given the special privilege in riding one. Figures...

Overview

As hinted, the Invictor Tactical Warsuit is ridiculously designed. You know, you would expect that the Imperium (Or GeeDubs for that matter) would have learned the lessons of the painfully exposed cockpit of the Dreadknight or the Eldar War Walker, but for some reason, the Imperial higher-ups just seem to have a bad habit of leaving the operator expose to the elements. You know you are in the shitter when the humble Sentinel protects its driver more sensibly than the elite warriors of the Imperium. Well, I guess that roll-cage may prevent the Primaris from getting squashed inside his own walker. Oh who are we kidding here, that poor bastard is going to get sniped by every single trigger-happy sniper in the battlefield.

Than again, the Invictor Tactical Warsuit is meant to be a stealthy fast walker designed to accompany Vanguard recon forces to give them some heavy firepower ('Heavy' being a relative term, the Invictor is armed with heavy stubbers, bolters, autocannons and a few missiles here and there, which is not that impressive for a Dreadnought-sized walker). As a stealth walker, it is meant to go behind enemy lines and attack vulnerable positions with very little resistance. However, you must be as blind as an 80 year old senior with cataracts to miss that Dreadnought-sized machine lumbering around like a stumbering dumb truck. Seriously, there is no way in hell that anyone is gonna miss that thing trying to pull off a Solid Snake. Unless of course, they are led by the Raven Guard.

Well, at the very least, one of the few redeeming qualities of this walker is the heavy bolter strapped to it’s leg, which can be used by the giant powerfist. Which can lead to some legitimately tacticool move sets. Likewise, we could at least be grateful that the SPESS MEHREENS have an actual 'proper' mech now that could give the Tau some right and proper fisting.
