Leman Russ Exterminator


Recommended Posts

FW is one option. To wait untill the new Leman Russ kit will come out in May is your second option or you scratchbuild you your own like i had done.

AC barrels from two Predators, sponsons of a Predator, Land Raider tracks and some other parts from my bitsbox:

One last thing.... you said you want this because you play against orks?

 

Id avoid it then. Its 200pts. For the same price you can have 2.5 Predators with autocannons and heavy bolters. If the orks are in close combat they both have rear armor 10, so powerclaws wont see a difference and against shooting with orks AV 13 and 14 are nearly identical in the weapons that can affect them.

 

The only time IMHO it will be worth it if he habitually takes large squads of lootas. Then the fact taht it cant be shaken by them may come into play. Over all though as much as i hate to say it the predator is better for anyone not maxed out on Heavy Support.

Here's my take on the Exterminator.

As you can see it's not finished although I have now made two copulas for it since posting this thread.

 

I only built one because we can have one and have only fielded it once. That was vs Tyranids where it certainly held it's own and gave huge support to two GH squads.

 

Points wise, as mentioned you could buy a couple of Predators and maybe even squeeze a HB Razorback as well. It's probably not worth the points but it'sa great centre piece to build. My hope is the new dex will bring the cost down as I really would love to field one against the Imperial Gaurd - just watch their face drop as they see one of their own tanks turned against them - precious

 

There is also some great tips from other board members on their ways of doing it

 

You don't have to win to have fun

 

 

Hope this helps - DGC
