TopToffee Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Good afternoon brothers. Does anyone ally in AM/IG to recreate the old days when we could take one or more of the tanks named for our Primarch? If so, how effective are they, and what combination of variants do you use?

Frater Cornelius Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 With the 5ed codex I used to run SW/ABG with Command Vanquisher with Beast Slayer Shells, 2 LRBT and Commissar Vanquisher if I had the points. Now this setup is sub par. You want Executioners and Demolishers these days, possibly Eradicators. Command Vanquishers with Beast Slayer are still effective, but I would only take 1 in favour of other shot variants. It only works if you have the man power to protect them and to get field presence. They will not work well in a Elite army. Can not comment on AM allies. I have played AM pure but never in conjunction with SW.

Valerian Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Nah. I gave away my old 2nd edition Leman Russ to a buddy who collects IG/AM way back when we lost them from the codex. I knew they weren't coming back, so figured I might as well give it to someone who could make use of the model.

FenrisWolf Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I put together a list similar to Immersturm's. Harald Deathwolf 2x TWM IP with 3 Cyberwolves each 2x 5 TWC packs with no upgrades 5 Bloodclaws w flamer and a TLHB Razorback (this is in flux, not sure exactly what to do with their 135 points) Allied ABG Vanquisher command tank with Beasthunter shells, hull LasCannon and Armored track guards Eradicator, hull LasCannon and Armored track guards Executioner, 2 Plasma cannon sponsons, hull LasCannon and Armored track guards 2 Hydra flak tanks as a squadron in the heavy support slot I am building the models now so I haven't played a game yet. I may switch the Bloodclaws for a Sicaran. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299380-leman-russ-battle-tanks/#findComment-3864971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grouj Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pask Punisher with heavy bolters is pretty boss. A lot of BS 4 shots with rending and, if I remember right, tank hunter.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Preferred enemy not tank hunter. Though tank hunter would be awesome on a punisher Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299380-leman-russ-battle-tanks/#findComment-3865024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pask does get pseudo-tank hunter on any tank. While he does not have that rule, he is allowed to re-roll failed glances and pens (though he is not allowed to re-roll glances like tank-hunter would allow).
