Leman Russ

"Tell the men the cavalry's arrived."

Named after the Primarch of the noble Space Wolves chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, the Leman Russ is the Imperial Guard's main battle tank. Boasting great range and great firepower, Leman Russ tanks are a force to be feared on the battlefield.

Tactics

The incredible range of the Battle Cannon allows the Leman Russ to snipe enemy tanks from behind a wall of Guardsmen. When working in pairs the Leman Russ can whittle down the enemy army before they can engage your own troops. Keep a Techpriest Enginseer on hand to maintain the Leman Russes and you can expect to see these powerhouses still firing long after most tanks would have been destroyed.
