redmapa Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello faithful of the Guard, I have a question regarding the steel host formation from Sanctus Reach, the composition says it needs to have 1 Tank Commander and 3 other Russ squadrons, does the commander need another Leman Russ in its squad as per the AM codex or is that requirement not necessary in this formation? Thanks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297162-steel-host-formation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was always of the mind that it has to be a Russ Chassis type vehicle. The turret could be different.

redmapa Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was always of the mind that it has to be a Russ Chassis type vehicle. The turret could be different. I know that but what I meant was that if the requirement for a Tank Commander needing to have another Leman Russ in its squadron still stood when using this formation.

Grand Master Belial Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sorry about that. I favor the solo tank like the Apoc formation. There is anywhere from 4-10 tanks on the field. It is enough to protect the command tank. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297162-steel-host-formation/#findComment-3816935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The tank commander is an HQ selection in the IG codex, so his rules follow that - he needs at least one more Russ in his squadron.
