Leman Russ Battle Tanks

Hi, I come in tres. How you like me now?

Let's talk about the variants.

First, the shitty ones.

Exterminator: It's a Hydra in a Leman Russ body. If I ever see you running one of these, I'm going to laugh in your face.

Vanquisher: Yeah, yeah. Pask + Vanquisher = Dead Tanks. Sadly, nothing else! You also only get one, and tis very pricey. Screw this tank. Play it against Eldar Wave Serpents once. You'll never run it again.

Standard Russ: I call it shit because it doesn't hit reliably, and doesn't scare tanks. Land Raiders laugh at your paint removal shells. Seriously, in the world of 4+ cover saves for everyone...why bother bring an inferior weapon? If all you face are Nob Bikers and Plague marines, by all means play this. Your friends will lub you.

Punisher: Hey look Robin, this thing is a piece of crap. Everyone got all excited over 20 shots, but the Guard don't need Tau S5! They have lots of ways to kill infantry. Give it rending next edition, so it's less suck and more go, ok?

Now to the good Variants:

Demolisher: This is good because S10 +Ordnance rules means you will crush most tanks you fire at. Especially Land Raiders. There are better melta weapons available for this, but they aren't large blast so are less efficient against enemies. All that matters is you better kill these quickly, because if you don't they will fuck you up. Run this with a heavy flamer and NO SPONSONS. Give up the multimelta point wasting bullshit.

Executioner: 5 plasma cannon shots. What, I should say something else? Are you retarded?

Eradicator: If you aren't Marines, when this hits--you are dead. DO NOT RUN THIS WITH SPONSONS! Give it a heavy flamer and call it good. Why? You don't want people putting 'anti-cover' wounds onto half their squad, and then taking cover from the plasma hits. Just hit them with the main gun, end of story.
