I’d like to pre order some foam for the Impulsors and I’m curious if they fit in any generic slots from Battlefoam

Look at the sprues and screenshots.
I can't see that there is any difference.
I have neither to check, though.

It looks like it's the same vehicle with a different turret. But then again, so do fire prisms and wave serpents...

It's a completely different vehicle in terms of shape, size and height.

It will fit in a Repulsor cut-out for sure, but it might be loose.

Are they all in this picture?

That’s it, so yeah they’re smaller than Repulsors. I wonder if they’re Predator sized. If that widget is sponson sized/located and it fits in a Predator a lot that wouldn’t suck you can just get a 5 or 6 Predator tray

Oh sorry, I read repulsor. Ignore my comment.

I don't think they'll fit in the same space as a Predator, well maybe a Predator with sponsons. The main "box" of the model does look about the same size as a Rhino chassis, but the rear end has those 'engines' sticking out

The better question is, why hasn't this model been released yet

I've seen a view from the back somewhere, and those intakes don't stick out as far as it looks like from this angle.

The precut Predator Foam tray has cutouts for the Sponsons. It would be nice if they'd put this sort of information out there, so we can have a tray ready and waiting for the assembled and painted stuff. I hate finishing a model before I have a foam safe space to keep it.

GW doesn't make pre-cut foam trays themselves do they? GW tends to assume people use their products and only their products.

The above photo is slightly misleading. You have no way of knowing the line those tanks are on. That Impulsor could be 5 inches back from the repulsor.

Freshman year photography student trick. Judging by what I can see, I would say the Impulsor is 2-3 inches "behind" the line of the first Repulsor. And the 2nd Repulsor is 2-3 inches behind the impulsor.

Point being, I am betting the Impulsor will be slightly larger profile than a Las-pred.
