Background.
The Leman Russ was arguably relatively new at the time of the Heresy. Horus has the foresight to ensure that those he thought would declare for him had plenty of them as well. In the Heresy era, they're deployed in number -- up to three tanks per heavy support slot.
Strengths.
On Warpstone Flux, we have covered Leman Russ tanks several times before. When we looked at the Solar Auxilia, we had both the Leman Russ Assault Squadron and the Leman Russ Strike Squadron.
Between these, we have already covered the main variants. In this army list for the Imperial Militia and Cults, we can take a combination of the basic Battle Tank, the Annihilator, the Exterminator, the Demolisher, and the Vanquisher.
Weaknesses.
Unlike our previous reviews, these tanks don't come supercharged. They do not necessarily infiltrate, outflank or move fast. They're basic. No armoured ceramite either for that matter.
Equally, they're still Leman Russ tanks and they're the right price for what they can do.
Builds.
I've taken these builds from the previous ones we've looked at here on this blog but removed things that aren't available elsewhere. They're functional and effective. I'd recommend taking 3 of the same if you're going for multiple to ensure that the range and function of the weapons is the same.
Leman Russ Demolisher (160 points)
Leman Russ Annihilator, Lascannon (150 points)
Leman Russ Exterminator, Lascannon (150 points)
