I got three Repulsors. Was that as dumb as it seems to be?

[Lemondish]

The problem with the strength of the Repulsor is it's a gun boat. Which the Executioner does better.

 

There might be anecdotal evidence from folk here (which I don't doubt of course) but every competitive game involving Repulsors has them as gun boats that forget they're a transport after deployment.

The strength of the Repulsor is that it's a full transport that is also a mobile gunboat.

 

The Executioner does the gun thing better, but not quite as good at the mobile full transport role without giving up where it really shines.

 

But I feel like we've already hashed out that discussion over the past couple pages of this thread. I can say, from experience, that you benefit from using these units differently rather than trying to do the same exact thing with both.

With this release I'll be running 2 replusors,1 replusor executioner and a couple of redemptors with a storm of fire warlord

 

Repulsors will run up the board , deposit full intercessor squads on/near a objective and then the executioner will slowly trundle up the board with one on the dreads as reroll support when needed while the repulsors hold the middle ground.
