The Repressor fulfilled the role of frontline tank for the Sisters of Battle. For just 15 points more than an [[Immolator]], you got a tank with more front armor, a storm bolter, a dozer blade, more transport capacity, and more fire points. It also came with a heavy flamer, making it an excellent choice for [[Dominion Squad|Dominions]] or [[Battle Sister Squad|Battle Sisters]]. It was especially valuable to Dominions, since the fire points on the sides and top allowed the entire squad to broadside enemy models while retaining mobility and operating from a position of relative safety. It's thick front armor, combined with Shield of Faith, could make this thing a real bitch to take down.

Unfortunately, it did have some drawbacks compared to the Immolator. For starters, you couldn't change it's weapon loadout, meaning that you were stuck with that heavy flamer and storm bolter; no twin-linked multi-meltas or heavy bolters allowed. This leads into the Repressor's next big weakness; because it was stuck with a heavy flamer, it had to get [[melta|really close to enemy units in order to be effective]]. This was generally fine if it was carrying around infantry, but this weakness became glaringly obvious if it was operating by itself.
