I intent to bring a Leman Russ army to a tournament in march, currently it consists of 2 tank commanders, 9 Leman Russ and 1 Hydra. 2 tank commanders with punisher gatling cannons and 3 heavy bolters. 2 Demolishers with a heavy Flamer and Multi Melta sponsons. 2 Executioners with a las Cannon and 2 heavy bolters (Might be 3 bolters, have to check models.) 2 Battle Cannons with a las Cannon and 2 heavy bolters. 1 of each variant into a squad and then 3 Vanquishers with a las Cannon and 2 heavy bolters. The army will be running Elite Sharpshooters and Grim Demeanour. Elite Sharpshooters should help the vanquishers a lot, and Grim demeanour gives access to Acceptable Losses. Letting a tank commander fire 29 shots into a unit engaging a Leman Russ in melee, and counting on the toughness of the Leman Russ to shrug off any Punisher or heavy Bolter hits.

[@jackbishenden3386]

I've found great success using the exterminator autocannon on my russes. While very niche, I charge my russes into my opponents units, forcing them to fall back to use ranged weaponry, or they have to stay there attacking this tank that refuses to die. Then in my next turn, because of not having blast, + a consistent number of shots from 3 HB and the autocannon, I can shoot my way through most of the squad, to then charge the next closest unit. The stratagem for having WS 3+ on a tank for a turn is useful as well for this as it also makes wound rolls of 6 throw out mortal wounds in the fight phase

I have to say overall I am very pleased with how LRs turned out, in the new codex. If I'm being honest, the only two things I wanted, and neither was "good", were for them to break the Demolisher Tank Commander, and to make the worthless Vanquisher better, again. Well, Tank Commanders are certainly no longer auto-include, though they are still good, the Demolisher is nice, but no longer the ONLY turret worth taking, and while the Vanquisher is still sort of hit or miss, that hit is fearsome. I really likecthe new Eradicator Plasma Cannon setup, the Vanquisher Cannon setup and just the overall format of the LR now.

[@Parolonutt]

I like the Demolisher because it's short and stubby like my flesh cannon

[@coldsteel.and.courage]

Kasrkin will shield the Russ from nerfs.

[@hideshisface1886]

So basically - Executioner is your go to weapon against nearly everything you face - if you don't care about occasional self-inflicted mortal wound. Versatile and deadly. If all the turret options stay at the same price, this is the de-facto all-round best choice, hands down. Battle Cannon is a good versatile alternative, if you are hellbent on having some extra range and/or you hate the prospect of overcharging plasma cannon - while not as versatile as Executioner, it still deals reasonable, reliable damage to just about anything. Demolisher is still very good against heavy stuff, Vanquisher is still kind of meh, even against its dedicated targets. Punisher, I feel, kind of lost a lot of its effectiveness, considering there are tons of invulns around and that you no longer shoot double the amount of shots. Eradicator and Exterminator are still not really worth it, except maybe some absurdly niche situations.

The one thing that still really bugs me about the tank is the size of the Battle Cannon. It’s HUGE. You can roll the head of a Guardsman model down the thing and it’s so large compared to the tiny turret it looks like it’d kill the commander of the vehicle when it’s fired. The resin turrets with Battle Cannons released from Forge World are much more reasonably sized, as are the Battle Cannon options on the new Rogal Dorn from what I can tell from pictures. Even the Battle Cannon on Imperial Knights are much smaller bore than the ones on the LR tanks.

I'm really happy the Vanquisher doesn't suck completely anymore. As a tank nerd, a battle tank without a long-barreled armour-piercing gun is hardly a battle tank at all. I'm fairly new to 40k and been leaning toward T'au up to this point (playing exclusively in Tabletop Simulator because I'm poor and have reservations about buying from a company like GW), but with the new Codex looking great and Darktide gameplay footage having my heart tell me that a Guardsman without a lasgun is heresy (in direct contradiction to my brain which tells me autoguns are underappreciated by the community) any doubt that I'm a Guard fan at heart is pretty much gone.

[@Brother_Rony]

@@dwn2573 Yeah but if it did space marines would still have a problem. It's nice that the 1000 marines are now T6 and move 12 inches but the guy you go against has 15 000 guardsmen, 800 tanks, 200 artillery pieces and several hundred armored and scout vehicles. That or he has something like the custodes where he will bring a 100 of them and utterly wipe the floor with a thousand marines. Alternatively he could also bring necrons where a single shot from a warrior should kill any marine in a single hit as it disintegrates all matter at a molecular level with the doomsday ark where a single shot would crack the planet in half (hence the name doomsday).

@@daanvanderrol5627 I don't know what a mum is. Maybe stick to the basic rules in the starter box, they make those so kids can play.

If you have been living under a rock, I recommend World War Toons model kits instead of official Citadel Models

[@linzeli1247]

Lrbt, 155 pt unit with reliable and less rng output? Good. Karskin, 100 point unit deals 18 mw with 2cp? Bad. For the new guard codex, it just felt old model remained good and new models is pure power creep.

[@orangegills3179]

Just rewrite the stratagem so that you can't loophole your way into more than 6mw with it

Tanks seems kinda pointless vs titans and demon primarchs.

[@Ws_minion]

I'd be very surprised if these dont go up to at least 200pts per, theyre absolutely obnoxious value with all the abilities and synergies you can throw on them

[@jasongarfitt1147]

They won't put them up 33% base points cost, that's a huge increase . Maybe make them more like 10 points more to make them less spammable

[@Ws_minion]

@Jason Garfitt i think they definitely could, theyve done more than that in the past and a 10 point increase basically changes nothing

Space Marine players are having a fit. I love it.

This is nothing, I remember when a battle cannon killed every marine under a template on a 2+ 😂

[@XealotCoils]

God forbid space marines would like a semi decent tank to use.

[@JennyGormanRitter]

@@XealotCoils bruh. At this point most of your Primaris options are walking tanks, especially with AoC and a plethora of buffs both chapter specific and for Space Marines as a whole. I mean for Christ's sake look at the Gladiator. The thing can potentially put out 4x the firepower of a standard Russ at only (roughly) twice the cost. If you were to say Primaris could use a Wirlwind type unit... yeah, I can see that. Tanks, though? You're all set man.

[@XealotCoils]

@@JennyGormanRitter AoC is going away and what chapter specific buffs? You're talking about the Repulsor Executioner. Which no. It has one big gun, a Gatling gun, storm bolters and heavy stubbers. Nothing like multi meltas, plasma sponsons and heavy bolters and lascannons. It only has volume of fire, not quality. S4 guns are shit. A Leman would destroy a repulsor.

[@JennyGormanRitter]

@@XealotCoils until the next dataslate SM have AoC. There's even word around the block that key SM units will end up keeping AoC even after the next balance slate. I'm definitely thinking of the Gladiator, not the Repulsor. The Gladiator at least knows it's a tank while the Repulsor is just.... confused at best.

[@REAPER3382]

What would be a good run for 2 leman russ battle tank and 2 demolisher? I was thinking 1 battle tank commander w/gatekeeper 1 with battle cannon 1 with executioner cannon 1 with demolisher Thoughts?
