#Leman russ punisher cannon upgrade#

It won't counter a lot of the meta though, as most of the things that are the biggest threats (eldar/SM bikes) have a 3+ armor save. The Eradicator is dirt cheap at 120pts and has a 36' S6 AP4 large blast that ignores cover. Give them good line of sight and start shooting. They are a unit you don't really have to think too hard about. They aren't exceptional, but they wouldn't be even if they could take sponsons and fire them normally. The only real loser is the Demolisher, not because of ordnance necessarily, but because it is 170 pts, and even if it could fire all its other weapons normally, it still would not be a great choice for the points.įor standard russes, a pair un-upgraded can sit back and fire large blasts to target infantry and the occasional weak vehicle. Also, in my opinion, sponsons are point sinks, with uses on some tanks, but you need to really consider why you are adding sponsons and if they are really needed.

While 150 isn't the cheapest, once you upgrade many of the other variants, its comparable. Ordnance is not a major issue for the Leman Russ, as stock it is still firing a S8 AP3 large blast, yes its other weapons are snap shots, so don't bother with upgrades. But each variant has a place and should be considered. Now the ordnance rule does disadvantage to the two classic leman russes, the standard and demolisher. Its reputation is quite mixed, but with all the options available, it has definite uses on the battlefield and can perform well given the chance. The leman russ, the iconic tank of the Imperial Guard.
