Invader ATV
![]() |

In a complete first for the Primaris Marines, the power-armored wonders finally got a vehicle that is neither a motorcycle nor a hovertank. This probably sounds great, at least until you realize that it's just a doubled-up Primaris Attack Bike- and one paired with a design that stretches 40k's expected suspension of disbelief to near-absurdity. Seriously, look at it.
The Invader All-Terrain Vehicle, also known as the Invader ATV or simply as the Invader, is a light scout vehicle that can be armed with either an Onslaught Gatling Cannon or a Multi-Melta with a twin-linked Bolter on the driver's front. This allows the Invader to lay down some serious supporting firepower. Unfortunately, it also looks more like a go-cart than a proper combat vehicle, which is the main reason why people hate it.
Immediately after its reveal to an unsuspecting world, this wonderfully dopey thing spawned a metric fuckton of memes and skub. While the 'ATV' space marine bike conversion is not unknown the Invader is... well, let's just say the Genestealer Cults did it better. Even hardcore Primaris players find the Invader difficult to like. Still, it does have its boons, it's... damn. No, on second thought, it's really pretty bad.
Alternative take: Come on! It's a dune buggy with power armour! That's fun in a bun, and who doesn't like Mario Kart? Just fire up the Rainbow Road theme of your choice and you're good to go! It also states in the fluff that it can fold itself to modify it's ground clearance; this is most evident with the back wheels. Why the model doesn't actually do that is a mystery.
