==Alternative Modeling Options== If you don't want to use GW stuff, or if you just want something to give your tanks a more unique look, there are a plethora of ways to [[proxy]] up a Russ stand-in. Perhaps most obviously and lazily, virtually every WW2 medium tank can and has been counted-as a Russ at some point or another, and models for those can be found in literally every hobby store in existence. Hell, even toys could work if you really feel like scraping the bottom of the cheapskate barrel. If you want good quality and properly scaled WW2 tanks though, suitable 28mm models of which can be acquired from [[Warlord Games]]' Bolt Action line. If you want to actually get something closer to the 40k style, there are also plenty of 3rd party kits. The Gideon Main Battle Tank (discontinued, to be replaced with the Galahad tank (which has sponsons, but is much less gothic looking)) from [[Mad Robot Miniatures]] is basically a German Tiger styled Russ, including guns for a vanilla battle tank, Vanquisher, Exterminator, Demolisher, and Punisher. If you still want something that resembles a Tiger, the Medium Tank from Mortian Miniatures might work. The Matilda tank from [[Victoria Miniatures]] is another straight Russification of a WWII tank, in this case the British Matilda, and also comes with all the guns for different Russ variants. The Gothic KV2 Tank from Maxmini technically represents the [[Ragnarok (tank)|Ragnarok]], but there aren't any current rules for the Ragnarok so you'd just be fielding it as a Russ Battle Tank anyway. [http://ratgard.com/index.php/2011/08/09/onling-store/ Ratgard Miniatures] do a line of Soviet IS3 and ISU-152 themed Leman Russ Tanks. [[Blood and Skulls Industry]] on Ebay is also a good venue for an alt Russ. They don't offer whole hulls, but they have every kind of turret, track, sponson, and gun you could want, for Russes as well as Predators, Chimeras, Taurox's, Land Raiders, and Baneblades. [[Kromlech]] has released a tank turret that looks like a more detailed Ryza pattern turret, a remote-controlled heavy stubber or bolter to put on a cupola, and a tank engine with trench rails conversion kit to give your Russ trench rails without the extended hull of the Mars-Alpha pattern. [https://reptilianoverlords.com/product/caiman-main-battle-tank/ Reptilian Overlords] sells an STL and model for a tank that resembles the M24 Chaffee used by American forces in WWII. [https://ns-games.com/product/uef-bulldog-main-battle-tank-28mm/ Nuclear Shrimp Games] produces its own tank kit that is essentially a modern day tank built around the design philosophy of the Leman Russ, if the super [[Gue'vesa|modern tacticool]] aesthetic is what you desire. It also comes in 6mm and 15mm flavors as well. [https://www.modelsandminis.com/ Models and Minis] makes a hull extension kit that's an affordable alternative for an Mars-Alpha pattern Russ. They also produce some trench rails to put on your Russ.
