Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor

The Repulsor is an Imperial anti-gravitic main battle tank intended to provide armoured support for the Primaris Space Marines of many different Chapters.

The Repulsor armoured transport is a deadly combination of manoeuvrability and raw brute force. Due to the turbine array at its rear, it has tremendous motive power, held aloft by powerful anti-gravitic generators. The Repulsor is so heavily armed and armoured that is doesn’t skim over the landscape but instead crushes the ground below it. The tank grinds forward with a deep bass thrum, reducing rock to gravel and fallen bodies to smears of gore and powdered bone.

Militarum Tempestu Taurox Prime at Warhammer World

When the Militarum Tempestu need to transport their soldiers into the heart of battle, they use the Taurox Prime. It is a well armed and armoured infantry assault vehicle. It is usually armed with an array of heavy weapons. It is the ideal support vehicle for the Militarum Tempestus on the battlefield.

The Forge World Ork Shanty Town diorama was changed to have the Militarum Tempestu driving in to the town in their Taurox Prime armoured vehicles to rescue a downed Valkyrie flyer.

Dark Angels Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought

Standing as towering avatars of destruction among the Adeptus Astartes, Redemptor Dreadnoughts represent a significant mechanical leap over traditional Space Marine sarcophagus-hybrids.

Larger, more heavily armoured, and wielding vast arrays of advanced technology, these hulking war machines allow entombed hero-pilots to move with astonishing speed and fluid dexterity despite their massive bulk. Housing a fallen battle-brother within a life-sustaining cybernetic core, the Redemptor transforms a mortally wounded warrior into a relentless, high-calibre engine of war capable of crushing enemy ranks with overwhelming force.

Dark Angels Death Wing Primaris Repulsor Executioner

The Repulsor Executioner is the most heavily armed battle tank available to the Adeptus Astartes, with a choice of murderously powerful, primary turret-mounted weapon, a macro plasma incinerator or heavy laser destructor, supported by a coaxial heavy onslaught gatling cannon. Add to that two krakstorm grenade launchers, two storm bolters, a twin Icarus ironhail heavy stubber, an ironhail heavy stubber as well as a hull-mounted twin heavy bolter and your Repulsor Executioner certainly won’t be lacking for firepower!

Though some Chapters use Repulsor Executioners as armoured escorts for their dedicated troop-carrying tanks, many favour them as transports for Hellblasters and other specialist Primaris squads. In this capacity, the tanks thrum across the battlefield with guns blazing. Whether armed with macro plasma incinerators or heavy laser destroyers, the Executioners unleash fusillade after punishing fusillade, their primary armaments combining with a wealth of secondary weapons to blast the enemy into ruin.

Noctilith Crown

This Noctilith Crown was on display at Warhammer World.

Towering over the battlefield as dread monuments to the Dark Gods, Noctilith Crowns are brutal edifices raised up by Chaos Space Marines to tear open the fabric of realspace. Forged from noctilith—the esoteric, warp-conductive material commonly known as blackstone—these towering structure-crafts act as vast psychic resonators, channeling raw immaterium and thinning the veil between dimensions to deadly effect. By siphoning and amplifying chaotic energies, a Noctilith Crown creates a localised reality-bleeding field that empowers Heretic Astartes sorcerers, shields nearby Chaos infantry behind flickering warp-barriers, and severely destabilises enemy psyker abilities. Standing as an unyielding focal point of ruin, a Noctilith Crown ensures that reality itself buckles beneath the weight of the Warp, carving a permanent foothold for daemonkind and chaos legions alike.

Though from a game mechanics perspective this is a force field, to me it looks more like a gateway in a similar manner to a Stargate.

Dark Angels Gladiator Lancer

Designed to serve as the ultimate long-range hunter-killer for the Primaris Space Marines, the Gladiator Lancer trades troop-transport capability for sheer, armour-shredding firepower. Built upon the hover-capable Impulsor chassis, this anti-tank battle tank replaces the open troop bay with an armoured hull and an advanced weapon turret housing a devastating Lancer laser destroyer. Engineered with exceptional optics and targeting systems, the Lancer picks off enemy super-heavies and war engines with pinpoint accuracy from extreme range, punching smouldering holes through the thickest plating before the foe can even register the threat. By neutralszing high-value armoured targets from afar, the Gladiator Lancer allows fast-moving Astartes spearheads to storm past burning wrecks unhindered and claim their battlefield objectives with absolute dominance.

In the same way the Predator evolves the classic Rhino chassis, the Gladiator adapts the anti-grav Impulsor framework into a dedicated frontline battle tank rather than a troop transport.

Downed Tempestus Scions Valkyrie

This downed Tempestus Scions Valkyrie is from one of the dioramas at Warhammer World.

The Tempestus Scions are elite special forces of the Imperial Guard. They have the best equipment and weapons.

The Valkyrie are troop carrying gunships used by the Imperial Guard. They are used to take soldiers into the heart of the battle. Flying through the enemy gunfire, landing in the hotzone and dropping off their payload before flying up in support.

Sometimes the troops are jumping, using grave chutes, from high above the battlefield. The Valkyrie is armed with lascannons or a multi-laser, and under the wings are missiles or rocket pods. The Valkyrie, like most of the Imperium’s aircraft, is piloted and operated by the Imperial Navy, with a pilot, co-pilot and two door gunners. Though not a helicopter, the Valkyrie is used in a similar way.

I do have a Valkyrie model, but it currently remains unbuilt in its box. I did though paint some for Aeronautica Imperialis.

Dark Angels Death Wing Land Raider Crusader

This Dark Angels Death Wing Land Raider Crusader was in the displays at Warhammer World.

Engineered to act as an unstoppable linebreaker, the Land Raider Crusader is a short-range, anti-infantry assault variant of the classic Land Raider Phobos fielded by the Space Marines and the Inquisition. Sacrificing the long-range anti-tank lascannons of the standard pattern, the Crusader replaces them with sponson-mounted Hurricane Bolters that lay down a blistering curtain of mass-reactive fire to cut down enemy defenders prior to an assault. Paired with a hull-mounted twin assault cannon and heavy frag assault launchers that pepper defensive lines as the tank closes in, the Crusader suppresses the foe with overwhelming close-range firepower while effortlessly shrugging off incoming enemy small arms fire.

Beyond its formidable anti-infantry capabilities, the Crusader’s tactical brilliance lies in its vastly expanded transport capacity. By removing the bulky las-power generators required by the standard Phobos pattern, the vehicle reclaims critical internal volume, allowing it to carry larger Space Marine squads—or bulky Terminator formations—directly into the fray. Striking at the core of enemy lines, the Land Raider Crusader smashes through defensive perimeters to disgorge its deadly transhuman cargo right into the heart of the foe, ensuring immediate and decisive victory in close-quarters engagements.

Space Marine Vindicator

The Vindicator is an Imperial siege tank based on the Rhino chassis used by many Space Marine Chapters that boasts the most powerful weapon of its type in the Adeptus Astartes’ standard armoury, the Demolisher Cannon. It is highly valued and can only be issued to company officers whose units have been tasked with a specific tactical requirement.

Though short-ranged, the Vindicator’s Demolisher Cannon is capable of destroying enemy armour and fortifications in a single shot. The vehicle is an essential part of any armoured spearhead that the Space Marines unleash.

There is little that can stand before a Vindicator’s pulverising fury. It is a rare Space Marine tank assault that does not employ a Vindicator in its vanguard.

Blood Angels Space Marine Razorback

This Blood Angels Space Marine Razorback was in the displays at Warhammer World.

This is the plastic kit version, I prefer the now retired Forge World version. I have one of those on my workbench.

A tactical evolution of the ubiquitous Rhino chassis, the Razorback sacrifices a portion of its troop transport capacity to mount a heavy, turret-based weapons system, transforming a basic armoured carrier into a potent fire-support vehicle. Purpose-built to accompany Space Marine squads into high-intensity combat zones, the Razorback delivers its battle-brothers directly to the front line while simultaneously laying down overwhelming suppressive fire. Its modular roof turret can be fitted with a variety of devastating armaments—most commonly twin-linked heavy bolters or twin-linked lascannons, as well as assault cannon or plasma gun pairings—allowing it to eliminate infantry waves or breach heavy enemy armour with equal efficiency. Whether providing vital cover as Space Marines disembark into the breach or acting as an agile hunter-killer vehicle on the flanks, the Razorback ensures that Astartes infantry squads never operate without immediate, heavy fire support.
