Dewi Sant Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Before you get excited this is just for fun and something I have been thinking about. With all the talk of us losing the Leman Russ Exterminator when the new Codex is released in October and the possible gaining of a replacement in the form of a LR variant, possibly armed with 3 twin-linked Assault cannons I began to think about how that might effect the way a lot of SW commanders go about the business in the battle field. If some rumours are to be believed the SW will be a full on hard hitting monster of a force, wanting to get stuck in even more than they do now! If this turns out to be true this possible new vehicle would be bad ass. The way I see it it would have a hull mounted Twin-Linked AC with side sponsons both armed with TL AC's. That's an devastating 12 rending shot with the added bonus of troop transporting. I can just see the look on an opponents face when a SW LR variant comes towards his force spitting out 12 str 6 rending shot (re-rolling any missed) before dropping the assault ramp and unleashing the deadly cargo of blood thirsty SW into close combat! On the other hand we are losing ranged support afforded to us with the twin-linked Auto-cannon and Heavy Bolters of the Exterminator, although this will be over come if they sort out the cost of Long Fangs and we will hopefully have the trusty Predator. Anyway I was just wondering if any of my fellow wolf brothers had given this any though.

Forseti Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think this has been talked about quite a bit over the last few months, even before the rumors of no Exterminator. Though I think people were talking about 4 ACs not 3 heh..There's probably 2-3 pages of it in the middle of the 34page discussion.

Wena Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 With 3 Str 6 weapons, even with machine spirit we would rarely fire more than two of the three guns - I hope that is taken account of in the rules and like the Deamon Hunter's Land Raider Crusader we will be able to move 12" and fire guns like the Hurricane Bolters - course this is all conjecture at this point...

Though I think people were talking about 4 ACs not 3 heh..There's probably 2-3 pages of it in the middle of the 34page discussion. I'm sorry if this has already been done. I've been keeping up to date with the 30 odd page thread and don't remember there being 2-3 pages on this topic. Can you please tell me where is starts so I can gain my fellow brothers prospective on this matter. 4 AC! Really is that the current thinking!! that rocks! :D dewi Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175862-leman-russ-exterminator-replacement/#findComment-2078183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
