It is important to note that the main armament of a Leman Russ is way stronger than that of a Predator. The side armor of a Leman Russ is as strong as the Front armor of a Predator, while the rear armor is equal.Ģ: Both carry a single main weapons, up to two secondary and can add a couple of tertiary weapons. Of course, the armor of both is propably on par or better than modern tanks. If you want a comparsion, the Leman Russ is a german Panther or russian IS 2, while the Predator is a M4 Sherman. On average, it will kill 5 Orks, 6 Guardsmen or seven Gaunts.ġ: Both are tanks. For everything else, other variants are better. Meaning it sucks at killing vehicles, and is only good at killing cheap infantry with 6+ or 5+ armor. It has only 24'' of range and has not armor penetration at all.

All of which are built on the Russ' Hull.

There's also the Destroyer Tank Hunter, which has no turret and a big-ass Laser Destroyer built into the front the Thunderer, which is a Destroyer with the Laser replaced by a Demolisher Cannon the Atlas recovery vehicle, and the Bombard, which is a humongous artillery piece. IIRC, the new codex also lets all variants use the Multi-Melta and Plasma Cannon sponsons the Demolisher can also use. Vanquisher - Vanquisher cannon (anti-armor)Ĭonqueror - Conqueror cannon (lighter cannon)Īnd the new codex introduced one that had a smaller gun that fired a sub-atomic charge (used against infantry in cover), and one with a big gatling, because apparently the Exterminator was no longer enough.Īll Russ' can have sponsons that mount either Heavy Bolters or Heavy Flamers.
