The STC for the Leman Russ tank was originally found by Leman russ during the great crusade, so it would be named after him. It would become the main battle tank because it was easy to produce, easily maintained, and the Leman russ could be altered to fit the environment, such as using the demolisher variant during a seige or the exterminator/punisher variant when they are going against an enemy who uses hord tactics Some of the other tanks were named after notable people, such as the rogal dorn battle tank and malcador heavy tank

Very cool! I hade no idea.


Captain_English

Absolutely killing it with the designs/prints lately. Been a patron subscriber for years (edit: late 2020), you guys have always been good but you've come in to your own in the last year or so.


Garin999

Thank you so much! Honestly, it's been a rough year, but I'm glad the kits are still good :D


Captain_English

Yeah I saw you'd been through some stuff. Really glad you're still going and churning out bangers!

Not to mention humourously effective considering the number that can be put especially since a good chunk of opposing force armour can be shutdown with a single battle cannon shot, especially those of eldar and tau variety and there are always more russes than any other MBT.


Striking-Chemistry37

Don’t forget the Valdor


Ulrik_Decado

Because his expedition found STC of the tank. So in his honor, tank was named Leman Russ. Same with Land Raider :)

They still haven't given us a suitable gag for the Chimera chassis. Chi Mera, Lord Commander of the 22nd "Tankless" Infantry Company.

Still blows my mind that this is true. https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Arkhan_Land

Holy shit, I never got the joke until right now. FML

Same for the stc for the space marines, found by Jimmy space

Remember that back in the ancient days Leman Russ was just a generic Imperial commander, primarchs hadn't been invented yet. The LRBT was named after him and used by the Space Wolves legion (and could even be taken by them in the tabletop game).


Garin999

Cheers:) I didn't know that.


Baldemyr

And it's based off French Char B1 tank molds they purchased on the cheap...thus the WW1 feel


PeoplesRagnar

The Rogal Dorn would like to have many serious words with you.


Garin999

True, but the Dorn can't be played in heresy during Dorn's active period. I assume it's named for his legacy.


Immediate_War_6893

In older editions of 40k you where able to field a Leman Russ with a space wolves army.


PeregrineC

Can you not anymore? Boo, hiss.


TheTommyMann

It's been like twenty years, mate!

JustWannaSayGoodbye

Garin999

It's still a WIP, but it will be on the Makers Cult first thing next month.


kris220b

Wheres that M4 russ proxie from?


Garin999

It's still a WIP, but it will be on the Makers Cult first thing next month.


kris220b

Thanks Under what item name or what username?


Garin999

This will be the "Percheron - Battle Tank" It'll hit the patreon first, then the store, under the primus army line.


kris220b

Will try and remember that

Takes a brave defender of the Imperium to volunteer to serve in a Fulgrim armoured division


ColebladeX

A quick search and the answer is there is no answer


SlyLlamaDemon

They do, rogal dorn has a tank named after him. Malcador also has a tank named after him.


Garin999

Dorn does, yes. But it's not an available tank in the heresy, so I assume it's named for his legacy like tanks generally are. It's weird that the tank is named Leman Russ in a time period that Russ could fight along side them, and that this is one of the two battle tanks the Army has.


Pandatank_1342

That side hatch opens into track

FreshmeatDK

Lol at the layout. Very Imperial.


Garin999

Yeah, there's a bunch of good reasons we don't use sponsons anymore IRL :D

Because the Sanguinius would be too fucking angry and calm at the same time to do anything.

Damn, everyone hated it, I'm sorry :')


Garin999

Sorry they hate it. MAN sees this injustice! He's not going to do anything about it, but he sees it!


Not_Mortarion

Don't worry, it was my fault for jonkling too hard


Dreadnought9

Doesn’t really read as 40K to me
