Editing Leman Russ Battle Tank (section)

== "Vanilla" Leman Russ ==

The Leman Russ packs a pretty awesome profile. Toughness 8, 12 wounds, and a 3+ save give it fantastic durability. <s>Only a few units</s> Whilst every army and it's dog has Toughness 8 
units in 40k, to get such a durable vehicle so cheaply is awesome. 4+ BS is average for Guard but considering Grinding Advance and the sheer amount of firepower it has (one turret weapon, one forward weapon, and two optional sponsons), this is acceptable. When wrapped up in a package that costs around 137 points, depending on loadout, your enemies will curse your cost-efficiency in both durability and killing power. While it lacks a lot of the kookier special abilities we see in this edition, Grinding Advance is one of the more useful ones. Pick your turret weapon, move under half, and watch your enemy cry as your main gun double taps him from up to 72" away. The definition of human badassery in vehicle form.

As of 9th Edition the Leman Russ and its variants have a 2+ armor save, which makes this vehicle even more incredible than it was before.
