I forgo the sponsons on these two tanks since they're operating out to 48" range most often and spending anywhere from 20 to 40 points for sponsons that they'll rarely, if ever use. Paired with this, I run an Exterminator with a hull lascannon as well. The two tanks I run as my own Command Tank squadron are a Leman Russ Commander in a Vanquisher, with a hull lascannon, and a pintle mounted storm bolter/heavy stubber on board (I like the storm bolter for the lower AP, and it's an extra weapon to roll randomly against for weapon destroyed results). In most cases I do recommend you put some form of sponson on the tanks, with a couple of exceptions. Now, having said that, any other Leman Russ variant can equip and use sponsons for days and fire them along with the main turret weapon without issue. The flamer is nice in that if you're danger-close to a target (within 6"), you can fire the flamer instead of the turret weapon and not risk it scattering backward to hit itself with it's ST:10 AP:2 large ordnance blast. That said, should you choose to run one of these bad boys, don't ever equip them with sponson weapons, and leave the hull weapon as either a heavy bolter or heavy flamer. The Standard Leman Russ Main Battle Tank is a good tank, if not a little high in price for my tastes. That's not to say these tanks don't have their uses. Both tanks have Ordnance weaponry on the main weapon and should those big guns fire, (and they always should if they can) then all other weaponry on the tank may only ever snap fire. Allow me to offer some insight at least to how I personally build tanks, specifically the Leman Russ and its many variants.įirstly, I will say that I'm NOT a fan of the standard Leman Russ Main Battle Tank, or the Demolisher variant.
