The rumors were true, there is a new Space Marines Primaris tank on the way- meet the Gladiator, that resembles the Predator in more than one way!
The next big online GW Preview for the new 9th Edition or 40k is box set is here, on Indomitus Launch Day! Here are the latest reveals from Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community!
Sure, we know how much the Idomitus box will be, and what’s inside, and the approximate values in GW money, here’s the latest straight from GW now!
The Rumors Were True: New Space Marines Gladiator Tank!
Now, the Primaris Space Marines have a battle tank with the versatility, reliability and firepower of this venerable stalwart of the Chapter armoury – and some brand-new upgrades. Meet the Gladiator.
Starting off before the model we get a neat little concept art piece. Each of the weapons pointed out is actually changeable, so let’s look into those.
Based on the chassis of the Impulsor, the Gladiator is a fast, flexible battle tank that provides deadly fire support in any chosen flavour you wish.
Last Day To Order Yours!
You could build a Gladiator Lancer – an anti-tank sniper that’s ideal for chewing through your opponents’ most durable war machines and monsters.
Next up is the Gladiator Reaper, a great anti-infantry option that’s sure to tear through hordes of infantry models.
Gladiator Valiant – a short-ranged armour hunter that uses twin las-talons and multi-meltas to scrap armour and heavy infantry alike.
If we had to guess the new Gladiator tank will accompany the new Primaris line of miniature releases going into the fall. From the looks of it, there will be an additional sprue accompanying the Impulstor tank to make the new Gladiator kit.
More great news is since this reveal is here, the chances of a new Space Marine Landspeeder (that was spotted in a pixelated image containing the Gladiator and the Indomitus marines), coming soon is very high as well.
Are you excited for the Gladiator? Will you be replacing the Rhinos in your army with these new hover-tanks?

Indomitus Box Set: PRE ORDER
As of this writing, the price has settled back down on the Indomitus starter set as well, and Amazon currently has a supply marked for release on July 25th with a delivery date of July 30th 2020.
Indomitus is a phenomenal set. The culmination of some of the best work our miniatures, rules, lore and art teams have ever made, this box takes everything that makes Warhammer 40,000 incredible and puts it in one place. Two huge collections of amazing, brand-new models are packaged with the full Core Book – everything a 40K hobbyist needs to hit the ground running in the new edition.
We’ve got a pretty good guess on how much value the 9th Edition 40k Idomintus Box Set has inside.
