The Gladiator is a fast and flexible grav battle tank used by the Primaris Space Marines.
Designed by Belisarius Cawl, the Gladiator is based on the Impulsor chassis. Its chassis is more heavily armored, with the open-topped transport bay replaced by a fully enclosed hull. This design relationship mirrors that of the classic Predator main battle tank and the ubiquitous Rhino, sacrificing carry capacity for reinforced armor, a powerful turret-mounted primary weapon system, and sponsors.
variants
The Gladiator comes in three forms:
- •ladiator Lancer – An anti-tank sniper armed with a heavy laser destroyer, ideal for smashing through an enemy's most resilient war machines and monsters. Its range is so great that it can eliminate threats before accompanying Space Marines encounter them.
- Gladiator Reaper - Anti-Infantry variant that uses Tempest Bolters and a twin Onslaught Gatling heavy cannon.
- Gladiator Valiant - A short-range armor hunter that specializes in escorting transports and troops. It uses dual las-talons and multi-meltas to scrap armor and heavy infantry alike.
Like the Predator for a Rhino, the Gladiator's design is based on the chassis of an Impulsor and was designed to serve as a front-line battle tank rather than a transport vehicle. If you want to shore up your battle line while providing impressive fire support, a gladiator will fit that role perfectly! With its dual heavy Gatling cannon and twin storm bolters, the Reaper Pattern Gladiator is the last word when it comes to shredding infantry firepower, making it the perfect choice for taking on enemy hordes.
This set comes as 157 plastic components, and also includes 1x Citadel 100mm Round Base and 1x Clear Armored Hoverstick. A Primaris Vehicle Transfer Sheet is also included. This kit can alternatively be used to build a Gladiator Valiant, Gladiator Lancer or an Impulsor.
