Leman Russ with Battle Cannon, Heavy Stubber, Plasma Cannons, Hull Lascannon – Heavy Support (166 pts) There are a fair few options of what you can do with this, I won’t list them all because I think it’s a fun exercise to discover the builds you can do based on the Codex. I will instead cover the limitations of an Infantry Squad so you don’t get trapped with an invalid squad. Special Weapons

If you’re completely new to the Astra Militarum then this is also for you too. This short gallery will show you what you get and that’ll feed nicely into the rest of the article. This small detail of the Heavy Weapons Team gives us some great flexibility for our squad and whether we want it to be an Infantry Squad or a Veteran Squad – or both… Veterans, Infantry or Both? Each model kit contains enough parts to build one Chimera troop transport. The turret can be assembled with a heavy flamer, heavy bolter, or multi-laser, and the kit has two options for a tank commander, letting you differentiate between different Chimeras! If you do decide to glue on the Autocannon and tripod, then you still have the other weapons spare. As your collection grows and you end up with more Guardsmen you can invest in a few extra 60mm bases and build yourself more Heavy Weapon Teams from your spare bits. Leman Russ Battle Tank Sprue – for a single Leman Russ Battle Tank, Eradicator, Exterminator or Vanquisher

Digging in and staying put doesn't always win battles, so for those situations you'll want to transport your infantry squads in a Chimera. These armored personnel carriers can ensure your troops get to critical locations on the battlefield in one piece, and they have some pretty impressive firepower for their size as well! Each Chimera can be equipped with a variety of weapons and accessories, letting you design the vehicle to excel at either transport or combat. You can also change the unit composition to the following to maximise Special Weapons and use them as a valid Veterans Squad… When I do this and proxy in Vox-Casters for regular guys I often take no Vox-Casters at all. It’s then easy to declare…

There is not much else to say about this dude, only that it is a great model and that he is your HQ choice for a Detachment. An Astra Militarum List from the Astra Militarum Start Collecting Box I would also recommend building the Sponson Mounts onto the sides of the Leman Russ. This tank is a beast and you want to get the most out of it, so maximise its damage output by adding the Sponsons and using those available weapon points for Plasma Cannons, Heavy Flamers, Heavy Bolters or Multi-Meltas.Making up part of the Astra Militarum, the Militarum Tempestus fits into any Imperial army. This means the army is fully playable with the Guard, Catachan armies, Cadian armies, Mechanicus armies and Officio Assassinorum armies.

With the unit of ten Guardsmen, you have a few options for their build and there are a few gotchas in there too. You have ten torsos and ten legs to use, so you can only make ten models. With the Leman Russ Battle Tank kit that comes in the Astra Militarum Start Collecting box, you can build a single; Battle Tank, Eradicator, Exterminator or Vanquisher. Also, note that the Eradicator and Exterminator have very different ways to fix their barrels to the turret compared to the other Battle Cannon and Vanquisher. The Eradicator and Exterminator are sort of housed inside the turret and once one is in and you glue the turret together you will not get it out. The Battle Cannon and the Vanquisher are easily interchangeable as the tips of them can simply be pulled out and swapped.The Mortar is harder to make work on the Tripod whoever. Just because of the nature of the weapon. It needs to be angled upwards and the tripod doesn’t support that. It is then clear for the whole game that your Vox-Casters are just normal guys. No need to remember or markdown which ones are Vox-Casters and which are not. The Sergeant You cannot build the Demolisher, Punisher or Executioner with the Leman Russ Battle Tank kit in the Astra Militarum Start Collecting box. To build these variants you need the Leman Russ Demolisher kit. Leman Russ Build Options Thanks to Hallofstovokor on Reddit for this suggestion. Two of the Easy to Build boxes that contain five Guardsmen can be used to make two new full squads of Guardsmen. The sprues in the Start Collecting box allow you to make two Sergeants, two Vox-Casters, two Flamers or Grenade Launchers and then four regular Lasgun Guardsmen. If you add on the ten Guardsmen from two boxes of Easy to Build Guardsmen then you can make two squads of the following models;

Giving us a total of ten! By having the Heavy Weapons team, we can make up with the extra Special Weapons we now have. In this unit, two of the Special Weapons cannot be used, as we can only take one in an Infantry Squad. But those two Guardsmen models are replaced with the Heavy Weapons model. Still giving us a squad of ten, despite leaving two models out. There is also the option for a Heavy Stubber or Storm Bolter on the tank’s cupola (top hatch) – I often do not model this or take them in games. This is because of transporting the models once this weapon is on top of the turret. But, by all means, add it yourself along with the gunner. It does add character when you do that. In summary, you can use multiple Heavy Weapons on one base. Don’t glue the weapon on. Then just pop it on and off as you need for your games. It takes a little bit of converting and ensuring you can remove it from the base once the Guardsmen are glued in place – but it’s possible.

By building the models in this way we have a valid Infantry Squad with a Heavy Weapon and a Special Weapon… This is the easiest model to build and make a decision on. You get all the Heavy Weapons available to the Astra Militarum… Other than the main turret you have some decisions to make regarding the other weapons on the Leman Russ. The Sponson Mounts can either be added or not and the hull weapon can either be a Lascannon, Heavy Flamer or a Heavy Bolter. I recommend not glueing in the Hull Weapon nor the Sponson Weapons as they can be easily changed for each battle. They simply slot in and out with ease. Note the different mounts for each. These are what the instructions will show you to use to mount your weapon. You can, however, convert the tripod slightly and mount the Missile Launcher onto it. Named for one of the Primarchs, the Imperium's greatest heroes, the Leman Russ Battle Tank is the pride of the Astra Militarum. Heavily armed and armored, you'll want one or more of these as your army grows, as they'll form a core part of your strategy. The standard pattern is a great choice all-around, but if you need a more specialized loadout there are several different builds for this iconic tank.
