However, it is common to see armoured companies broken into squadrons to support infantry and artillery elements in the field. Dedicated Leman Russ tank companies play a key role in Imperial strategy, and the greatest Imperial tank offensives will see armoured formations many Terran miles in breadth sweep all before them in a rumbling tide. Between its sponsons, hull and turret the Russ carries enough firepower to pound almost any foe into submission.
What the Leman Russ lacks in speed, it more than makes up for in brute force and survivability.Įnemy fire patters from its inches-thick armour like dust on the wind. They are the mainstay of the Astra Militarum's armoured forces, lumbering slabs of armour and intolerance whose inexorable advance has ground a billion foes of the Imperium to bloody ruin. The Leman Russ main battle tank is an ironclad declaration of might made manifest. The Leman Russ can only perform to its optimum capabilities when all of these elements are combined during an Imperial armoured advance. This characteristic does make the Leman Russ vulnerable to assault from these angles, requiring infantry support, other tanks or very careful operation to protect the vehicle. Its side and rear armour remains thinner to reduce the strain on the tank's engines. Though slow, its frontal armour is strong enough to withstand the multitude of weaponry wielded by the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind. It can survive the worst the galaxy can throw at it, and can run on almost any combustible liquid fuel.
Far from a sophisticated vehicle, the Leman Russ was designed and built with reliability and versatility in mind. The Leman Russ is the main battle tank of the Astra Militarumand is also the most widely deployed tank in the Imperium.
