Repulsor/Executioner

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

I just ordered 10 Intercessors and 10 hellblasters was curious if I should get a repulsor to go with them. Before I buy one wanted to ask you guys which would be better to get the regular one or the executioner. Granted I might not field all the primaris marines but I figured I should dip  my fingers into the primaris train. Or if there is something to better spend the money on rather than the Repulsor like say Aggressors I don't have any of those,

I’ve been taking one repulsor, with some other vehicles, and it is nice to have additional deployment options. I’ve get a 10 man interblaster squad that I can now DS, place in terrain or put in the transport depending on what I’m up against.

 

I’ve not run the executioner. I hear running 2 is good anti vehicle but I think they are too expensive for pure DeathWatch to run.

Right on I found a guy who could 3d print me the Hylios gun for a LR I have, a LR Achilles (always liked the way it looked), and a Repulsor so for about 134$ I will get 2 tanks and the pieces to make a 3rd with the left over LR I have built already. So I jumped on it, wasn't really looking to go the printed role but I ran into the guy on facebook and we started talking about them and then I ended up going with it.

Just make sure your happy with the quality first, if it's got ridges it will ruin the paint.

That said it is a good deal, on the original question however I would say the executioner, I plan to run 2 to be my main anti armour and to bus my troops about for objectives.

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

First time buying from this guy but he had good reviews so I went with it, we'll see how it goes. Can't be as bad as the actual LR's not fitting together half the time lol.

[Duke Danse Macabre]

That's true enough, wait till you get a fire raptor or another fw model, you will know pain. Lol

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Ohh lol ya I know I've gotten a few Reinforced Armour's for the razorback/LR and those pieces are like super brittle when you break off the excess sometimes it cracks the piece you want in half. I don't like the resin FW uses, I got another Necromunda bounty hunter and the axe broke in half I barely touched it. I can't believe a company that does business like that has such :cussty plastics or at least haven't made the attempt to make them better.

No why did you tell me this, I really like the model but but resin!

[Duke Danse Macabre]

Allot of FW little bits easily break sadly but the quality is undeniable.

Swords are a nightmare, they always sag out of shape and break.

I started with the storm eagle, same kit bar some gun options, the hull and nearly every part was warmed, I had to reshape almost the who kit and suspend it in boiling hot kettle water with it clamped to pieces of wood in a large broth pot.

The side was bent at about a 20% angle outwards, I couldn't reshape it, I had to break it, file it level and greenstuff the gap in the hull.

The problem was though they were all like that and replacements were not in stock.

I wanted to start with either a Leviathan or a Drill then move on to a fire raptor. I can still see that dodgy back landing skid that was even in the photos.

 

Going back to the Executioner, I really wish they would release the turret sprue for people who already have the normal transports.

It's much better quality these days, you should still look up some advice on reshaping it, it's very thick so heat doesn't always work, also because it's no got allot of "attach where this roughly says" with no marking or recesses it helps you avoid making costly or hard to repair/change.

 

The dreads are easy and fun to build, you will always be using them so I would say go for it.

I want a drill or two myself, they are almost the same cost as a twin las razorback but that popping up back field, increased transport capacity and the ability to fight well in combat, I haven't bought one yet but I think it's likely going to fall somewhere in between joy to build and god damn nightmare but I'm sure there is a review of it online which will mention it's build.

 

If I could buy the turrets I would literally go buy 2 sets now.

They should do it but it gets them more cash forcing a whole new kit, when it drys up maybe but it could just as easily not happen if it's going to make more money keeping it as it is.
