Repulsor Executioner

 The first of my birthday presents in finished. It’s only taken a month or two to get finished but here it is. This will be going with the Eagle Knight Primaris force and was intended to carry my command elements to join the Blade guard who were supposed to ride in an Impulsor. However, with the change in the rules and the rumoured Jump Pack Assault Intercessors coming soon, I’m still not 100 percent sure who going to be riding in this beast. I suspect that some of the independent characters will end up riding in this. 


Your can see the squad marking on the front black sections, showing that this is the Command vehicle of the third company. Plus for good measure there is a Mechanicus logo by the engines. 


The rear has the same treatment, with HQ and company number alongside the Imperial Aquila, just in case anyone gets around the rear and wonders whose ride this is. I should probably paint on the Eagle Knights logos on somewhere on the side or front, as it doesn’t have any at the moment. 



What it does have however is some kill markings on the turret, I’m not sure what these are representing yet but it’s taken out two of something and one of something else. I imaging that it’s going to be two large tanks and another important vehicle with the big cannon and maybe two important characters and another character with the plasma cannon below. 




The whole lot is not glued down to make transport easy and the weapons are just push fit in, including the two main guns, so they can be swapped around as I want.  


The gunner/Tech priest on the top which still needs his chapter badge. You can also see the the various small arms dotted around the turret including the anti-air weapon at the back, moved from the turret to the rear as i think it looks better and is a little bit more realistic (not that 40k is realistic!). 
I really like this model and i will be looking at getting at least one Impulsor but with the new jump units coming out i wont be looking at multiple vehicles like i was. Also, you’ll see there has been a few more acquisitions that will also change the army list somewhat.
