Leman Russ bits

With the new edition of Horus Heresy and the new rules for the Solar Auxilia that I just started too look at there are some option that seems interesting.

The new options for the Command tanks is interesting. It is forced to use the Battle cannon in this edition and its a really really bad weapon. AP4 and 3" template is a long way from previous editions...
But the other rules for a Command tank as a Cognis signum and the Flare shield is interesting.
To represent this I added lots of extra sensors and bits to make the turrets stand out.

With the new rules you get coaxial Auto cannons for the Vanquisher cannon. Good ranged weapons.
I used the base from a demolisher cannon, a plasticard pipe and the regular Vanquisher cannons. I then added a Auto cannon for the coaxial mounting.

 

 Hull mounted and turret mounted Auto cannon options. Interesting to have a hull mounted option for this. Auto cannon might not be the best of options but it got a good range.

Pintle mounted Heavy Stubber options.

 

Pintle mounted Multi laser options.

And here we have the Command turrets on some of my older chassis. I wanted to show how they will look when in action.

Here we have the new Vanquisher cannons on my older hulls.

Auto cannon bits...

With enough extra love the Leman Russ tanks looks brutal. These vehicles you see here are long way from the boxart look...

These bits and extra turrets are meant to supplement my other Leman Russes.
