Awww yisss maybe more info coming soon, hopefully new models

Spoiler:

Awe, what is it? I can't access imgur at work.

EDIT: Also, it took me an entire month to make it to the end of this thread; this thing is a beast. Fair feths to Rippy for keeping the first post up to date.

They are showcasing new 40k and showing off stuff at UK Game Expo. Later at community site.

Whoever said that new tank was a Hovertank was correct. The Repulsor is now on Facebook...

Edit: already christened the Flyno

Armour up boys and girls, grav-raiders are back with a vengance!
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/06/02/let-your-soul-be-armoured-with-faith/

They've also confirmed the campaign and an expansion.
I dont think we've heard anything about the expansion yet...

Just beat me to it

So bigger and sticking more and more guns. Yup standard GW style alright.

Frankly, it needs less missile pods.
That's saying something, coming from a Tau player.
The turret, cupola and the co-axial systems are really cool, but there are too many random missile pods that look forced on.

OMG!

Ok I am now buying a starter set and doing Primaris Marines despite promising I would focus on my Nids and Chaos this time.

It's a FLYING LAND RAIDER Y'ALL!!!

Give me 10!

Looks like less guns that a normal LR to be honest, no sponsons.

That looks like a stubber.....

I expect these are at Super sized scale? Does this mean primarus scale rhinos, press, Vinnies in production?

That... that is beautiful. That's pretty much the Imperium of Man in tank form: If you have no idea how to properly do it, BRUTE FORCE IT. Elegant and sleek floating tanks? Pfft, just ram as much power as you can!

How many missile pods? One lucky shot and that grav tank would light up like a Christmas tree.

What I wanna know is...what is the main turret gun!? It looks like some new form of Lascannon!?

Name is appropriate, that thing is repulsive

Wonder if there's an equally repulsive Nurgle tank coming our way too!

The rotary cannon is terrific but overall Im not sure. Somethings off with it and I cant put my finger on it.

Note: it also has a cheeky antennae array to fire from. Stupid OP Marines again.

Yeah, I don't get all the rocket pods all over it.

I guess we will be getting an oversized Grav Rhino along with this too?

Any bets they open these up for Custodes in the near future, they were the original owners after all.

Also explains why FW didn't make any Grav Raiders or Rhinos.

We can only hope so, my friend

Considering the rockets on the sides and rear, I'm leaning to the idea that they're a defense gimmick rather than rules (think like an anti rpg system or the tau flechette launcher)

Also interesting to note is the missiles on the back are the same as the repressor dreadnought's carapace launcher (still thinking it might be a new smoke launcher or somesuch)

land raider, flying snow mobile mk

Definitely torn on this one. There are some really nice elements, but I not sure that I like the overall profile. I think if you removed the hull mounted gun and the missile pods from the turret, it would look a lot better.

I started thinking about that after I posted. I also forgot about the one on the back, that round pod does look the same as the dreadnought one.

They don't seem to have smoke launchers anywhere so it very well could be.

As for the profile, I do kinda like it overall, but I don't like the turret. And the turret is also covered in way too much "stuff" on top of that.

Maybe Deathwind launchers for when it Deep Strikes?

...Why are people calling it a grav raider when it's clearly rhino sized?

Hmm interesting model - love the turret chain gun but overall far too many weapons for my liking - unless the missiles are defence systems.

Hopefully Sisters of Silence will dust off their own grav vehicles!

Yeah I agree there's too much going on with the stuff on the turret for 40k (reality vehicles have much more junk on em but aesthetic is aesthetic).

Anyone else think this sucker is going to be a Bradley? Side and rear hatch makes me think it'll have a 6 man primaris capacity.

Is it? If that's a Primaris marine hanging out the top then it looks bigger than a Rhino.

This thing is an atrocity.
It looks like a 6 year old cobbled it together from everything the kid thought it to be cool.
Add guns!
Add a turret for more guns!
Better guns in the front!
Assault Cannon as a PINDLE WEAPON!
Make it fly!
Give it Jet Engines!

Repulsor indeed. My desire to get anything but the starter box and a Redemptor dread got repulsed out of buying range.

Not a fan of the tank. It's a flying land raider with missiles jammed on anywhere there's a flat space. Lazy design and ugly end result.
