The Leman Russ is the primary battle tank of the Imperial Guard, forming the spearhead of countless armoured columns. Those enemies that do not fall to the bombardment of their cannons and numerous hull-mounted guns are crushed mercilessly beneath their heavy treads. These reliable and formidable tanks can be found in nearly every Astra Militarum regiment in the galaxy, and have become synonymous with the Imperium's fury.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Leman Russ Battle Tank – a versatile armoured vehicle with a wide range of variants. This tank can be built with one of seven powerful turret weapons – a battle cannon, demolisher battle cannon, eradicator nova cannon, executioner plasma cannon, exterminator autocannon, punisher gatling cannon, or vanquisher battle cannon – allowing you to arm your Leman Russ for busting open tanks, shredding alien swarms, or anything in between. It also sports a hull-mounted secondary weapon – a lascannon, heavy bolter, or heavy flamer – and can be equipped with two optional sponson-mounted guns – a pair of heavy bolters, heavy flamers, multi-meltas, or plasma cannons.
The kit includes cosmetic options such as a searchlight, handles, and a choice of an exposed crewman or closed hatch. It can alternatively build a Tank Commander – a skilled squadron officer for the Astra Militarum, mounted in a Leman Russ.
This kit comprises 150 plastic components and includes an Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet, with 475 transfers featuring numerals, sigils, and a variety of regimental heraldry. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
I bought these due to the matte finish and good contrast with the numbers. I really wasn't sure about the smaller size but it has had no negative impact at all. The packaging is very nice and gets complimented regularly. I would recommend these without hesitation.
I’ve been playing ShadowDark with some friends and for the effect of darkness we have had black lights on. I was looking for dice that would react well to this. The orange ink lights up well on these.
