The Suppressors are Primaris Space Marine fire support squads built around speed and heavy firepower. They drop into battle on jump packs or grav-chutes, then unleash accelerator autocannons that chew through armour and light vehicles.
What the Suppressors are
They’re fire support warriors wearing Omnis Pattern power armour, a lighter variant of Gravis Armour. That lighter build is the whole point: it lets them move fast and hit from angles the enemy isn’t expecting.
Their job is to answer heavily armoured threats quickly. They either drop straight into the fight with grav-chutes or close the distance in long, bounding leaps using their jump packs.
How they fight
Once a target’s in sight, Suppressors lock their shock-absorbing servo plates and open up with accelerator autocannons. The foot-long armour-piercing shells tear through infantry and light vehicles, and the sheer volume of fire forces even stubborn enemies to take cover.
They rely on mobility to get into enfilading positions, hitting from the side where armour is thinner and return fire is awkward. It’s a hit-and-run style, not a stand-and-shoot one.
Wargear
Suppressors never carry a primary weapon other than their signature accelerator autocannons. Everything else is support gear for getting them into position and keeping them alive.
- Mk X Omnis Armour (lighter Gravis variant)
- Jump pack and grav-chute
- Accelerator autocannon
- Bolt pistol
- Frag, krak, and smoke grenades
Chapter variations
Most chapters field Suppressors as a dedicated squad type. The Space Wolves are a bit different: their Grey Hunters take up the Suppressor role when the situation calls for it, rather than keeping a standing unit.
Where they fit in the Primaris lineup
Suppressors sit in the Fire Support slot alongside Hellblasters, Eradicators, Aggressors, Eliminators, and Desolation Marines. What sets them apart is the combination of jump-pack mobility and anti-armour fire, which makes them a fast response unit rather than a static gunline.
If you’re building a Primaris force, they’re the ones you send after light vehicles or dug-in heavy infantry that your battleline squads can’t crack quickly.
