Template:OHPortal The Repressor is an armored personnel carrier, used by the Adeptus Arbites and the Sisters of Battle. Repressors are a variant of the Rhino, converted to extend the transport compartment and adding firing slits for the passengers' weapons. It mounts a Storm Bolter in a limited arc cupola, a pintle-mounted Heavy Flamer, and a bulldozer blade on the front to clear obstacles, such as rioting scum.
Overview
The Repressor is used as an armoured personnel carrier, its modified transport compartment allowing passengers to fire from within the protection of the vehicle. It is mainly used by the Adeptus Arbites for crowd suppression. It has also found use in the vanguard of the Adepta Sororitas, and in the hands of Inquisitorial Storm Troopers.
Originally the Repressor was issued purely to the Arbites and were equipped with weapons designed for crowd suppression. The first instance of the Repressor's use by the Adepta Sororitas was during an uprising on the cardinal world of Avignor. The Sisters crewed a dozen of the vehicles, first arming them with heavy flamers. After two weeks of street fighting the uprising was defeated. Eventually the Sisterhood was given access to the Repressor.
