Repulsor Tank

"So in summation, what you have before you is a troop transport that can't carry troops, a skimmer that's too heavy to clear any terrain worth mentioning... a quasi-tank with less armor than a Land Speeder but with enough firepower to take out half of Macragge City?"

The Repulsor, aka. the Landraiderspeeder, is another brainchild of Magos Belisarius Cawl (and presumably his huge fucking supply of drugs, seeing as it looks like a GI Joe vehicle) that just so happens to be the only vehicle capable of carrying our Chadmarines. Yes, not even fucking Land Raiders and Mastodons are capable of carrying these guys ...for some reason. I guess these humble Space Marine vehicles just weren't hip enough with the NuMarines.

The Repulsor, though clearly derived from the same Standard Template Construct patterns as other vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes, is the first armored vehicle deployed by the Imperium of Man to make use of anti-gravitic technology since the days of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. The Repulsor is manufactured by the forges of Mars under the command of Archmagos Dominus and everyone's favorite mad scientist cyborg, Belisarius Cawl; like most of the new wargear produced for the Primaris Space Marines. It is unknown whether Cawl incorporated recently recovered ancient technology to produce the design, or whether it emerged from his own mind as part of his radical turn towards the former heresy known as "innovation." Given Cawl's reputation and history with such things, the latter is the more likely explanation.

The ventral plates of the Repulsor came about through Archmagos Dominus Cawl’s desire to create a transport worthy of his Primaris Marines; a vehicle that could strike suddenly and repeatedly at the enemy until the day was won. The tank he designed is indeed capable of traversing almost any terrain, even lava streams or lakes of boiling acid should the need arise. However, it moves little faster than the armored behemoth of the Land Raider, for its power is directed more into the manipulation of clashing gravitic energies than forward motion (translation: messing with gravity so it stays in the air). Anyway, unlike other skimmer vehicles it has the effect of crushing any terrain it floats over, making sure anyone trying to hit its underside gets a nasty surprise. Even getting close to it is difficult due to the strength of the gravitational fields that surround it.

The Repulsor is also notorious for the amount of guns it carries. Seriously, this thing is fucking ridiculous. Its turret alone makes a Battlefortress blush in shame. Even a Baneblade would go, "Woah there buddy! I think it is time to pull down a notch and calm the fuck down!". I mean, it has even a gun on its rear end, so yes, it is one of the few ground vehicles not vulnerable from surprise butt sex from the occasional sneaking Catachan Devils. The weapons found on this nasty tank includes the las-talon or onslaught heavy gatling cannon in the tank’s turret that blasts apart enemy vehicles that could conceivably pose a threat, whilst the extensive suite of bolt weaponry, auto launchers, heavy stubbers, and grenade launchers lay down a storm of horde-killing firepower. Orks wet themselves when they see this. At least there are no fucking multi-lasers.

So far the Repulsor has only been seen extensive use during the Indomitus Crusade started by Papa Ultrasmurf. More variants is coming under way to further boost the forces of the Imperium.

For some bizarre reason, the turre weapons of the Repulsor (Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon/Las-Talon) have the exact same profiles as the hull weapons (Twin Heavy Bolter/Lascannon) just with a shorter range.

  Now all we need is a picture of the one with more guns photoshopped onto it.

  Why does this look so famili- Dammit Cawl, stop stealing the work of better Magi.

  They made a movie about the making of the Repulsor.
