Looks a bit like a flying Land Raider. I like it.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I am conflicted. It looks like the bastard child of a three way between a land raider, rhino and taurox (the turret looks more IG than astartes).

Makes me kinda glad that my Nids are more useful now. I can quietly pretend that the marines don't exist.

**hobojebus**

Well grav raiders were a thing in the heresy.

Model looks a bit too busy though.

**Lithlandis Stormcrow**

I... don't even know how to react to this.

It looks like a Frankenstein of Space Marine tech.

**Purifier**

Hm. Can't say I like it. Not that I have any really hard feelings about it one way or the other, but I wouldn't get one even if I played marines.

I'd say it looks more like a Predator turret.

**Mr Morden**

well lets have the pic at least

base design is cool

Too busy for me in terms of weapons unless the missiles at least are defence or frag launchers.

be nice if this was available to Ad Mech and those that always had grav vehicles - Custodes and Sisters of Silence.

**captain bloody fists**

Why do we need another tank....?

**Cephalobeard**

It's a Primaris Tank. I'm all about it. Keep feeding me Primaris models, GW.

**Shadelkan**

I think it looks great! My orkz will love it!

**jeff white**

Repulsor?

**BunkhouseBuster**

I like it! Makes me with I could afford more models though. Despite not ever caring for "truescale" Marines before, I am really looking forward to the Primaris Marines.

**Elbows**

I'll give a 6/10, based solely on it being way too freakin' busy - something that really needs to be nipped in the bud. "More" doesn't equate to "better" most of the time. Happily I'm sure a lot of modellers will undo mos of that nonsense.

Missiles/grenades on the sides above the door? Check. Missile boxes on the sides of the turret? Check. Additional different missile pod on the turret? Check. Circular possible missile/grenade pod on the back of the vehicle? Check...co-axial gun mount? Cool. Additional massive rotary machine gun on the turret ring? Check...

Seriously, stop. I'll patiently wait to see one of these tones down, but it looks like a garbage dump of marine aesthetics.

It resembles the turret off of a Taurox Prime more. The offset barrel and ramp surface

**Tactical_Spam**

Did Yogurt Chinchillaman unearth Arkhan Land while he was on Crusade or something? This is too much new tech for a setting like Warhammer.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I just had the funny mental image of someone gluing two of these to the feet of a Warlord Titan to allow it to glide across the battlefield figure skater style.

It resembles the Predator more, being slanted all around, rather than just at the front, with completely vertical sides.

**hobojebus**

Glad it's not just me.

**Roknar**

Apt name, I find it repulsive lol.
Also ,since when has the imperium re-mastered grav-lev technology to an extent that wasn't even possible during the crusades?
As far as the setting goes that kind of technology should be the realm of sci-fi.

Cawl has been developing on 30k technology. Basically, he is in 30k+ times while the rest of the empire is worshipping idols.
I see a lot of hate against that. People crying it goes against the idea of technology being lost and all, and calling it stupid. These people seem to not realise that 40k was always a pretty dumb premise. We love it for what it is, but this raging aversion to new and different lore is really off-putting.

**G00fySmiley**

interesting as a way to differ marines though fluffwise did we find a new stc somewhere or has the mechanicum been sitting on this fro 10k years to as an unfilled order that girlyman wanted

**Carlovonsexron**

Not a fan of the turret, but I do like everything else. Custodian grav raiders ahoy!

**10penceman**

I really like it damn you gw
that has settled it I am jumping into the primus stuff after the gorgeous dread and now this I have to say really nice.

**Brotherjanus**

It's over the top and silly like most things GW. It makes me envision a concrete boat bristling with guns. Naturally I will buy one.

**Vryce**

It's certainly repulsive. This whole Primaris thing as become way out of hand...

Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea of the Imperium finally getting over their aversion to new tech, but so far, all the Primaris stuff is hideous.

But, I don't play SM, so I guess it doesn't affect me.

**master of ordinance**

Ugh, I dislike this and no, not just because it is Marine (but seriously, stop it with the marine gak already. We get it. You have a raging boner for big muscly men GW, but please stop forcing your Magical Realm on us)

Quite frankly this looks utterly stupid, and not just because the Imperium categorically lacks Grav tech t the point that even in its finest hours it lacked the ability to create new designs. Just look at this thing, it has:
A twin lascannon in the hull
A lascannon in the turret
A coaxial Heavy Stubber/Autocannon
A pintle mounted oversized Gatling
Missile pods bolted onto the turret cheeks
Missile pods bolted onto the turret sides
Missile pods bolted on over the side hatches
Missile pods bolted onto the rear
What looks like freaking transport capacity
The hull is pretty much a landraider with the tracks ripped off

All this and more on a magic floating Landraider. It sounds stupid because looks stupid because it is stupid. There is no way a chassis that size can support that many weapon systems, let alone transport troops as well, and it just lacks any reason to exist. Not to mention the stupid idea of a tank being a Tank Destroyer, a MBT, an APC, a Missile Destroyer and a MLRS system all at once.

**jade_angel**

I kinda hope all those box launchers are actually decoy launchers of some kind...

**Fenris-77**

Categorically lacks Grav tech? Um, Landspeeders? That might not have been a super strong point to open with.

And you follow it with, "hate it because fluff". Huh. Ok.

So, the part of your critique that actually matters is you don't like the way it looks. Cool, no sweat. If you get one for your birthday can I have it?

**Vaktathi**

So...someone stuck a Predator turret to a Land Raider, called it a skimmer, and gave birth to this abomination and meant to be serious about it?

...GW...why?

**G00fySmiley**

I reread my comment and feel while i dislike the fluff it must be noted that it will not stop me from buying 3 of them when they come out possibly 4 so my orks can loot one

Now I want to model it with a spray of wooden ducks shooting out of the turrent. Thanks.

My two cents? I think it's cool and I want one. It's probably going to be like 500 points, but whatevs.
