Infurnus marines making it a fire boat is a lot of fun, don’t know about good competitive but I love it.

"Brother, I can't hear shit" is all I think when I see that little marine head poking out the hatch.

It's slightly larger than the Rhino by a few millimeters, so for my "Primaris except they're Heresy models" army I am using a Rhino that is slightly bashed to be in place of a Impulsor, glad it isn't garbo

Something fun I keep doing with my Impulsor is I start it on the board with Intercessors inside it. The ints hop out for extra movement from disembarking, then the Hellblasters embark and firing deck. Reason is, it lets Azrael get his starting CP, missing it T2 instead of T1.

Just let me stick my full infernus marine squads in a rhino, god

Full mechanized Primaris is, however, really cool

My friend threw a 5 man team of Infernus marines in this puppy along with a Librarian and man did it go nutty especially with the rockets

As a blood angels player it makes me consider a second combat patrol set

Love my little pickup truck. Battle bus for Hellblasters! Edit: *Plasma Taxi* ❤

Dreaming about trying to acquire the Impulsor is what finally got me into 40k a couple years ago. 😌

ps : instead of losing an hellblaster the impulsor takes 3 mortal wounds when hazardous test are failed by hellblasters shooting from inside.

These seem SOOOO good in Black Templars. Primaris Sword Breatheren+character support fits. Plus they get a free multi melta added on so you get some real damage out of them.

I've put death company intercessors with a chaplain in the impulsor. Gets them to the mid board reasonably well

As a new Templar player (previously just Guard) I'm picking up two combat patrols to save some money and get some choice units. I'm looking forward to having two of these guys zipping around the battlefield dropping my kit-bashed assault intercessors and providing fire support to my very melee oriented army.

If you could charge out of it like a land raider, it would be amazing. Sadly you can’t so it remains a good transport for plasma intercessors or in over to redeploy, or as a “tank” in smaller games since it is very cheap.

I have two for Templars. I like to load the sword bros in with a character and go bludgeon heretics

I have two of them, would only really use the one and take the other to use add on pueces to turn it into a gladiator via murmillo kit

Don't understand why the multimelta option isn't available for any chapter - seems out-of-step with the Primaris' everyone-gets-the-same-units thing... I get that it's on the upgrade sprue but multimeltas aren't hard to find. Maybe they'll cheer me up by putting a plasma cannon on the Dark Angels' sprue in their refresh?...

I have this with the missile array. It's a better taurox. Using it to drop off death company into the field and pop a shot off at a tank.

They have been good and jus better now I run sternguard in them with great results. One of my current lists is three with sternguard and three with under us. And for my BT I run 3 with sword brethren and 3 with blade guard.

You can get five bladeguard vets in a squad instead of six, so you could attach a character and put them in the impulsor. You're still paying the full price for six, though, so not very efficient.

Nitpick but I'd LOVE to be able to transport a full baldeguard squad plus a captain. Just want that transport to be 7!

I've got two that I'm hoping to at least build in time for our gaming group's new 40k league! Wish me luck!

Just wish I could put Vulkan He’Stan and 5 Infernus together in the Impulsor. :(

got back into 40k just near the end of 9th ..went back to my black templars got the combat squad .. was using this for my swords Breathern and I was thinking of the Emperors champion with them .Probably not Efficent but I like the feel of it ..I want them into melee as quick as I can while the rest of my foce moves up the field supporting them.

Also, for some reason, the guys inside get better at shooting if they have a Techmarine shouting angrily at them.

If only my long fangs could ride an impulsor... would fit perfectly witht the firing deck 6.

ANTI-FLY is great 2+ / 4+ to wound regardless of toughness vs units with FLY keyword which are more units then just Aircraft and some you might not expect - example - Aeldari Warp Spiders have the FLY keyword

I feel like Impulsors with Transport 7 would be actually nutty good. It's a very subtle change--it certainly doesn't let you put an extra unit in--but it *does* let you put in the 6 size squads+a character. Which feels totally natural, and the way it ought to be, and how you did impulsors in the past (with a 5 man bladeguard+character)

I used my impulsor with the black Templars. It ended up being a lynchpin delivering my sword bros and taking out a redemptor

I ran one the other day with some hell blasters in the back, reasonably tanky but would not go as far as to say meta. as it is not as stong as the raider which does the job better in my experience.

I was using an atv for fast melta support for my black Templars then realized I could do the same thing for 15 more points with this thing 😂

They are nice and quick but I'm already holding out for a big plastic Mastodon fleet 😅

For casual play, I am very happy to make them and the rhino interchangeable as far as numbers go, max ten marines

Worth mentioning the Black Templars variant with the multimelta. It's a solid platform for getting Eradicators into melta range safely while not having to sacrifice a full turn of shooting with them. Firing 5-6 melta shots for an 85 point transport with three gravis in it is pretty solid. Edit: I thought Eradicators had the Tacticus😢 keyword. Sad.

Loving the videos, kepp it up

I run Tigurius and a Sternguard Vet squad on board (Which is technically illegal, as due to a Typo Tiggi is missing the Tacticus keyword, but all my oponents were fine with it). Adding a shield generator has allowed me to pull off some cheeky shenanigans, including ramming a Necron warrior squad with Tank shock😂

Incursors in here with scout 6 is crazy good. 6" pre game move, 12" move, D6" advance, and 3" disembark. Drive up to vehicle and drop a mine on em, shoot them, and give your whole army +1 to hit it.

How about a desolation squad firing 5 superkrak missiles every turn? Sounds like some nice anti-tank

I'm absolutely getting an impulsor for my Black Templars because 5 sword brothers with Helbrecht would make an insane team to just drop into the heat of battle

5 hellblasters or 5 sternguard in it with chief librarian tigres all can shoot out of top and tigres adds alot of shots in 18 and the tank takes the wounds if he super charges it

The best thing about the Impulsor is the best way to get one is to buy a Gladiator and some magnets

Personally loving the hellblasters in the back of this thing!

I just kitbashed one into a Battlewagon, jokes on you humies

glad my box of combat patrol space marines kind of just got buffed overall

I think the centurions are looking amazing especially deep striking with assault. I am gonna run unit of both.

you can still take 5 bladeguard I think, you just pay the pts for 6?

A small aside, but the Gladiators are built from an Impulsor kit and they do have all the parts, the Gladiator is just additional sprues. With some cheeky magnetization you can actually have the Gladiator moonlight as an Impulsor when needed while still having both be completed. It won't solve the money issue with you going full mechanized and having both the Gladiators and the Impulsors, but it can be useful if/when Gladiators are not great but Impulsor up the board with the boys is.

Marneus calgar and ursula creeds "gain cp" abilities happen "at the start of your command phase" so they should not count towards the 1 cp limit because the 1 cp limit only applies to cp gained outside "the start of the command phase"

Ragnar/Primaris Lt/bladeguard in one is great.

Anyone using it to push some incursors up the field to get into a position to spot safely?

You forgot Infernus Marines Auspex! They're one of the best things to put in here. Toss them in an Impulsor with fragstorm launchers, the missile array, and stubber, and watch it delete hordes. Also a great unit to disembark in the midboard and threaten overwatch. All that for 170 points is a steal for all the anti-infantry work it does

We Black Templars prefer Land Raiders for transport, due to being able to assault after disembarking a moved Land Raider, more room to fit in 12 models ( enough for Helbrecht+Castellan and a full squad of Sword Brethren ), what really matters is what the side sponsons should do with either tge Godhammer Lascannons ( pairs well with the MM ) or some up close bbq with the Redeemer.

I've been using with sternguard vets since leviathan hasn't really been doing anything

The Marine's ute is good now!

I suspect the main reason they didn’t want to allow not Primaris in them is because they would be perfect for three lascannon devestator units so you roll up and shoot something in the tits with 12 lascannons and scoot away. Vanvets have…chain axes and the only specialized shooting outside of tacticals anymore. Saw a guy running his vanvets as regular assault marines, ah that’s pretty funny though.

To be honest, I'm using it for either a delivery vehicle for either a squad of Bladeguard accompanied by the sword&board Captain, and sword&board Lieutenant from Indomitus/the 9th ed starter sets, or for a 5-man Primaris Sternguard Veteran squad and Primaris Lieutenant with bolt rifle and Bolter Discipline. It's got Firing Deck 6, and a good speed, so the Sternguard can get into Rapid Fire range fast.

So how does Assualt Vehicle ability work with Assualt Intercessors? They CAN get out after an advance but can't charge? What's the incentive behind that? I really can't get my head around the ability...

interested to hear about what people chose to take as the wargear Comms, Shield dome, or others. and why :D

Devastator squad with 4 heavy flamers and combi weapon on sergeant. Gets them where they need to be fast

The repulsor can hold up to 12 astartes or 6 elites (jump packs, gravis, terminators, etc) it seems that the repulsor surpasses the impulsor as a transport in every way. Is it worth the point cost in your opinion?

If you're watching this after June 2024, the max capacity has been upgraded to 7, so 6 bladeguard + a leader is now viable like he discusses in the vid around the 5 min mark. Lets go!

Everything and their mothers have invul 4+ in 10th Edition but the Shield Dome is still 5+ 😢

Someone said you can toss hellblasters in, then shoot everything besides hellblaster, then overcharge hellblaster and if it kills the impulsor then the hellblasters get to disembark and then shoot

Could you not put a desolation squad in it to use it as a fire base?

Anything about the Impulsor that Salamanders can take advantage of? Or is it best for the non-codex-compliant chapters?

The only effective way of running these I can see is to have Sternguard or Hellblasters start in it and start it in reserves. Then rapid ingress in deployment zone or relatively safe location. Otherwise, they get focused down and destroyed first turn if you don't win the initiative - they seem resilient on paper, but in practice, they just crumble to anything but low strength weapons. This has happened to me every game, no matter how well I try to hide it.

5 man desolators on board and it becomes a rocket taxi.

Never played 40k yet but can I not put the desolation squad inside for shooting?

5++ | 6+++ FNP | 5-man Templar flamebus? Let's gooooo! :D

i played my nephew with the blood angels combat patrol vs my tau combat patrol, and the impulsor singlehandedly steamrolled me. Now i'm realizing that we didn't even play the firing deck rule for it

Can eliminator squad still cheese this model by disembarking firing their weapons then jumping back inside with their move and use the firing deck?

Are Infernus Marines that bad points wise that they don't get mentioned here? I could see them fire out the firing deck and double down on the anti-infantry variant. Makes it especially good when defending an objective with overwatch.

FIRETRUCK! fill with Infernous

Disapointed it cant take firstborn. Heavy bolter devesators in this would have been very fun.

i think buffing the impulsor with a techmarine so everyone on the firing deck hits on 2+ is pretty strong

Lmao was just looking for this video like 30 minutes before it was published. Cheers!

They were already good now they're great.

So on that Rule for the Comms Array can you farm CP's from Spending Capt Free Stratagems? 3 capts =~1 extra CP a turn...? if you are lucky more.

The "when pigs fly" transport.

I notice that you point out that it's expensive. I suggest buying the Gladiator tank for an extra fiver. It comes with all the bits for an Impulsor AND the Gladiator. Magnetise the crap out of it & you get 4 tanks for the price of one(ish)

Will be able to advance and shoot in Firestorm Assault as all it's weapons become assault

Wait, you cant load Desolation squads??? You think they would do a little damage that way... moving fast actually gives you a LoS so you dont take penalty of Ind. Fire

good thing it doesn't have FLY, Guard Hydras would swat anything with FLY keyword, not just aircraft but anything that flies.

it costs more then Carnifaxes should cost so its doing good on that front

Light anti-tank, Impulsor with Belicatus and 2 Eliminator squads with Lasfusils...

I'm trying to assemble an Implusur right now. I'm almost finished with my model, but when I was looking for the back section of the armor, I realized that this vehicle's transport compartment is open! Such a stupid design in my opinion. Making an open-topped troop carrier.

They should give it the option to remove the top hatch option for more transport capacity. Even if if its just to 7. Seeing as how that part is removable with the kit lol.

I love them, though i wish they had higher trans capacity

Nah, the low transport capacity means that anything that benefits from its use is better off in a land raider or repulsor, because you want bigger units for combos etc. Bladeguards might be alright except you can't include a leader. Very, very meh.

2x eliminator squad in a Impulsor , instigator carbines and sniper rifles, is the sauce. Disembark, shoot, use the free move to re-embark, shoot again when the Impulsor shoots - and if it was stationary, it gets the Heavy buff too, since it counts as being armed with those weapons fully. Gooddbye enemy characters. They have not fixed this rule...for now. Works for any unit with move shoot move. Consequence of pretending the unit no longer exists and the vehicle itself gets their weapons. GK and some other armies have units that can do this too.

Does the Incursors ability for +1 to hit a hit target still work from the firing deck…?

I like Infernus marines for Impulsors. You get an little overwatch boat for a relatively cheap cost that has the ability to speed across the board and force battle shock with assault disembark on the Infernus to give them their unit rule back again. It makes for a nice little tactical piece that can threatened to rip away objective scoring in a wide threat range and because of this tends to attract fire from more expensive units.

I put some eradicators in it and it did some work against my buddy's grey knights with his 3 dreadknights

To expensive to buy for what it does may as well buy a land raider

I’d love to just be able to Toyota hilux that thing with (2) 3 man las-fusil squads

Damn i still can’t wrap my head around why they dont let full squads of 10 intercessors or 5 gravis. I don’t care about scale personally. At some point you have ti make concessions for gameplay.

Dont forget, even if you earn CP from calgar, since its stated that his ability tiggers at the beginning of the command phase, you can still earn the CP from the inpulors ability

a.k.a the Impulsor printmaris

Only reason I own one is because you got one with the BA combat patrol, which supplemented the units I wanted - I paid £72 then and now it's £95 (which is what you'd pay in the UK, it's actually £83 and £110 here). Rather than buy more of these, I just use a gladiator and pop off the main weapon. I'm sure you could magnetize the turret mount but I didn't. Aesthetically the grav tanks are a failure, ugly, awkward and they don't get fly anyway, so there's no reason they don't just have tracks. Since CQC is largely worthless at the moment, I'd go with hellblasters. Shame you can't put devastators in it since GW's idiotic and arbitrary restrictions apply. To be honest I don't know what marines are supposed to do in 10th, they don't really have an identity and by far most of the datasheets are worthless. People were scrounging for worthwhile units as it was and the "pruning" sure didn't help, neither did the points update which just increased points on everything people used and decreased things that aren't worth bringing. I don't think detachments will do anything remotely interesting unfortunately, seems we're stuck with a god-awful system for half a decade before GW will admit their train wreck.
