I have just finished another tank to my growing horde of traitor guard. This one is the dreaded Leman Russ Demolisher with sponsoon plasma cannons. Indeed it is a pricy tank, but when it lets loose, it is sure worth it. Thanks to the Lumbering Behemoth rule it can move 6″ and still fire off the demolisher and a plasma cannon, ensuring the destruction of any squad unlucky enough to get in its way.
The demolisher cannon is a kit bash using the Banehammer cannon that I didn’t use for my Baneblade. I had 4 Leman Russ kits, a built Leman Russ and an old built Leman Russ demolisher so I decided to build my own demolisher cannons to create two full squads of tanks, one of the traditional LR and another of demolishers (the other 4 tanks are built and painting has started so watch for them!)
Every weapon on the tank is AP2, ensuring that anything that the tank hits will not get a armor save.
I tried something different with the back by adding two extra barrels and placing a smoke stack on either side.
I also wanted to pull in a theme I’ve used on my troops by adding gas cans and ready-to-light torches to the storage bin.
This also complete the 8th challenge of The Tale of Even More Painters:
