Unit Review: Leman Russ Demolisher - 10th Edition Index

[@Jaybirderino]

The Leman Russ Demolisher is a force to be reckoned with! Strength 14 is an enormous advantage, and D6 damage is less of a downside when firing it into enemy vehicles. That said, I don't use demolisher cannons in my army, basically because I always roll low on the damage, hah!

[@40kwarriortuber92]

Ive said the same thing. The d6 damage should be d3+3 or even d3+2. At the least d6+1...

[@waterdotzable]

The demolisher cannon is a casino. I've one shotted vindicators and also done some really disappointing stuff

[@CadianSergeantSteel]

@waterdotzable I wish it was d3+2 instead. It would be way more reliable and fill a more clear role.

Last game I played, this thing got destroyed by three Blood Angels smash captains. I tried to tell them it was the wrong edition for them, but they didn’t listen

My tank commander with a demolisher cannon 1-shot a land raider in my last game. My opponent was in shock. So was I

[@CadianSergeantSteel]

I love crazy moments like that 😃

[@mistformsquirrel]

The only thing I don't like about the Demolisher is that it's so close in points to the Tank Commander. Just the idea of "Drive me closer I want to shoot my big cannon in their face!" is *very* appealing and hilarious. But... I feel like practically the order is better. At least for me. That said, in some reality there's a melee tank list starring 3 Demolishers and 3 Eradicators deliberately driving right into enemy blobs. It's not my list, but I'd love to see it just the same.

[@waterdotzable]

The only thing that sucks with tcs is they can't order themselves or each other. Both of my demolishers are tcs though

[@mistformsquirrel]

@@waterdotzable Yeah, fair point, if you aren't' running any other tanks it makes sense to just go with the Demolisher then yeah.

[@waterdotzable]

I really like the weathering on your tracks and lower hull. How do you do it?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3eqmquvgMeAgLcsi=RPkrxKDRJKgu3pyO It's covered in 4 different chapters of the tutorial. First is the mud effects, then washing in Agrax Earthshade, then two layers of dry brushing with Steel Legion Drab and Screaming Skull.

Who else doesn't have a demolisher cannon due to the previous editions leman boxes

[@badrabbit9703]

I am not a fan of the demolisher. It's cannon is way too swingy for the points cost. The eradicator however is fantastic. Strength 9 for the main gun is meh but it has the same ability AND it's points cost is 150. It's an absolute steal. I ran one down the throat of a unit of wraith guard. They weren't a fan.

[@steelxspider5274]

Eradicator main gun is strength 7, so you would be wounding the wraithguard on 4s instead of 3s.

[@badrabbit9703]

@@steelxspider5274 you are correct.
