Leman russ main battle tank 8th edition10/8/2023 Not a huge drawback if you have boards correctly loaded with LOS blocking terrain anyway. Too short ranged for your taste ? -> Consider the Vostroyan doctrine. The punisher is insanely useful against hordes (tyranid critters, orks, poxwalkers, plaguebearers, cultists etc.). But has better efficiency against tough targets like knights, plageburst clawler. The demolisher is comparable with the battle cannon in anti-tank firepower. Fitting a battle cannon on it will require some serious conversion. The weapon mount does not share its shape with the battle cannon kit, which is unfortunate. The 3 weapons can be magnetized easily, which is nice. You have access to Punisher, Executioner, Demolisher turrets, that are all quite specialized, but present good efficiency in their respective specialities. This is the kit I would recommand for beginners on a budget. That said, the best Leman Russ kit to choose is the demolisher one, not the standard kit. Not great, but at least can achieve something. Its best target are Eldar rangers, SM scouts, MEQ in cover. If you are short on points, they can provide some anti-heavy infantry firepower that negates cover bonuses. Just take a pair of Hydras instead, for a little more points than an exterminator, at least you can inflict some damage to numerous nasty flying units.Įradicator nova cannon ? Maybe. Too expensive, and low AP, to be worth it. Don't bother.Įxterminator auto-cannons are another cool old standard which translated very badly to 8th edition rules. Same remark applies to multi-melta sponsons, with an aggravating factor being their very limited useful half range of 12". Now the battle cannon is better on every aspect. In previous editions, its gun had a mean strength of 11.5, which made it quite OK in its niche anti-tank role. Vanquisher has been badly nerfed in 8th edition. It is not a specialized variant, but at least it is fairly good against a lot of targets. Its targets of choice span from primaris marines, death guard marines, any bikes, up to medium tanks, monsters, and is useful even against knights. To add another thoughts on Leman Russ loadouts.įirst, the standard battle cannon is quite good.
