Commisar Necros Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 So I'm building a Leman Russ and I like the longer barrel of the vanquisher more than the regular battle cannon for my command tank, especially since I usually use the relic battle cannon in play tests. I don't think I would have any issues with my regular play group, but do you think I would have any issues at tournaments?

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Only IG/AM players will know the difference. At actual tournaments you'd have to run it by the TO but it could be an issue since it's a currently legal piece of wargear. Some people might tell you to suck it up and use the worse rules if you want the cooler wargear/model. It does look a lot better than the stubby battle cannon. I like the ridiculously long FW versions too.

Tallarn Commander Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I've been running Vanquisher turrets as regular Leman Russ turrets at tournaments and pickup games since 2000 and no one has minded.As Tyberos notes, only people with IG armies have even commented on the longer barrel. They readily accept my explanation that I use Vanquisher Cannons because they look cooler. It never occurred to me to ask a TO and in about a dozen GTs and about 50 to 60 local tournaments no TO has ever commented.

duz_ Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I've been to a couple of tournaments where IG players have used the Vanquisher barrel for the Relic cannon. As long as you don't have more than one of vanquishers on the table you should be fine walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370456-using-vanquisher-as-mbt/#findComment-5704981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commisar Necros Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 I didn't even think most people wouldn't notice. He'll prob be the only one with vanquisher cannon. Anyone else I add is getting a demo cannon, if I add any more until the codex drops. Ill double check with the organizers, but ya I doubt many will have an issue. Nice tanks! Ive avoided the forge world stuff, seems a little too pricey, but I see what you mean. Have to add some weight to the back of the tank with one of those things, lol.

jarms48 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm a player who heavily customises my Leman Russ tanks. I give mine the Vanquisher cannons as well and just count them as Battle cannons. I also give them coaxial Heavy Stubbers just because I think they look cool. Then I'll do more miscellaneous things like throw around sandbags or spare tracks. I've never had anyone complain.

Commisar Necros Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Nice. Where do you get the heavy stubbers? That's all I want off the upgrade sprue, and I don't wanna buy done for every tank.

I have a ton in upgrade sprues, back when GW actually had them in every Guard vehicle kit. I guess eBay is your next best option, or a 3rd party seller? I just cut the feeds off and glue the barrel parallel to the main cannon. I even have an over-under configuration on my exterminator, because I assume realistically they'd try and save autocannon rounds against light infantry.

Commisar Necros Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Ya this is the first one Ive gotten since Ive started up again. Surprised me when I realized it wasn't in there. May poke around there, or see some ww2 models or something. I agree definitely need some side weapon for the chaff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370456-using-vanquisher-as-mbt/#findComment-5705234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrandy93 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Friend is that the Baneblade turret on the Russ?
