MajorNese Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Seeing the model next to the other ones - it does look like someone went out of material when building it. Regularly armoured front, and just nothing in the back. I'll see if I can gloss over that a bit with camo netting and/or plasticard. And considering how much better a Repulsor looks on tracks and with less bits and bobs everywhere - yes, this one could have looked great on treads too. But I won't do that for even more vehicles, too much hassle...

Thalidar Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Bruh, can I get the proper exchange rate for them? I'd take £45 (about $58 usd) over the $75 they are here! *Cries in $AUD.* Get it from emerald hobbies for $100. (Always sell at 20% discount).

Ishagu Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 At $100 AUD that's the same price as UK, pretty good way to bypass the tax hiked costs.

Hellebras Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah, I normally want to pay where I play, but $75 USD is egregious for a light transport. I'm fine with it on a Repulsor because it's a flying Land Raider, but the Impulsor doesn't have that excuse.

SyNidus Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Actually i’ve been thinking of converting the impulsors to look less like flatbeds and more like mini-stormeagle-esque dropships.

I'm fine with it on a Repulsor because it's a flying Land Raider, but the Impulsor doesn't have that excuse. It's pricey, but to me it depends on how many you were expecting to buy? I can't see people running more than two of these outside of very particular lists.

Marshal van Trapp Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Two is a good number but for $150 I could easily buy way more good units for my army, I'm very hesitant to spend over double the cost for transportation for my dudes (10 intercessors are $60 whereas it would be $150 to buy enough transport capacity for them all!)

Hymnblade Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Speaking of conversions, how about this one that makes "the Repulsor is a flying Land Raider" even more accurate? Not mine; credit goes to this guy on Reddit. I'm seriously considering building it in this style if I ever pick one up, though.

quasistellar Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The conversion is done well, but honestly it looks daft and just emphasizes how silly a design the land raider is (as much as I love it). The repulsor is a fine looking hover tank. If people like the land raider so much why not start with a land raider and convert up the repulsor weapons?

Mandragola Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Bit harsh. I think it looks good, perhaps apart from the front doors. Those have always been an issue for me with Land Raiders. It's such a weak point to have a door there. And it's also too small for Primaris guys to get out apart from by crawling. So overall maybe the conversion is a bit too literal - though it's been done extremely well.

Son of Sacrifice Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'm thinking about running a repulsor and two impulsors. The impulsors will be carry intercessors, and the repulsor will most likely be packed with aggressors. Is anybody else running something similar?

Just make sure you give your opponent something to think about in terms of targets.

Frater Cornelius Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 So, has anyone tried them and see how they play? It feels like this is one of those models where everyone just assumes it to be useless and barely anyone owns any, let alone plays them. What's some practical, and non-anectodal, experience you had with them?
