The Repulsor Executioner finally got its rules revealed! Check out the wargear on this thing and tell us how many points you think it’ll cost.
Warhammer Community dropped a preview showcasing the new Primaris Repulsor Executioner. You might have to sacrifice some transport space, but you’ll be picking up some much-needed firepower.
Space Marine Primaris Repulsor Executioner Rule Spotted
With 40k Apocalypse sizing up to be the new 40k game mode, this thing should be arriving just in time! Now check out everything there is to know about this tank so far.
Capable of shredding infantry and armor alike with contemptuous ease, if you’re looking to scrap your opponents’ heaviest units, this is the vehicle for you!
You’ll be able to choose just which form of electric death your Repulsor Executioner is armed with, with a pair of Belisarius Cawl’s latest and deadliest inventions on offer. Want to turn Terminators into bubbling goo? The macro plasma incinerator is the place to start.
The macro plasma incinerator is actually quite disgusting. No matter what firing mode you choose, you’ll be able to melt through armor or force any kind of invulnerable save the enemy might have. Plus at S9 you should be wounding 90% of the in-game stuff on 2+’s and 3+’s. The only scary part about this thing is the random D6 shots.
Want to blast Daemon Engines back to the stygian pits from whence they came? We heartily recommend the heavy laser destroyer – the lascannon’s bigger, meaner cousin.
The heavy laser destroyer is literally just a Lascannon that’s been hitting the gym. Like the plasma cannon, you’ll be able to punch through any armor or at the very least, force an invulnerable save. What’s nice about this is the range and the flat two shots. We could see this Repulsor be the new addition to the Guilliman gun line list.
For even more icing on the cake, you’ll be able to shoot the main weapons twice. As long as they don’t move over half its max distance, of course. This is basically Grinding Advance from the Leman Russ. (That Guilliman gun line is looking even better isn’t it).
Of course, the preview just covered the main business end of the tanks. There are still some side cannons and extra dakka that will help you clear away enemy screens.
Early Sprue Pics of the Repulsor Executioner Upgrade Sprue
If you haven’t seen these pics already, take a quick look at how the vehicle is laid out on-sprue.

Looks like the new repulsor has two main weapon options that both rock. If you have already assembled one of these for your Primaris it looks like a simple turret swap may be possible without installing the new top coupler armor plate.
With the new Repulsor Executioner’s wargear covered, how many points do you think it will cost? Which weapon variant are you going to go with? Is this what the Primaris need to become more competitive? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
