The Leman Russ and Death from Above
June 2010·pp. 18–21
THE SHORT VERSION
The Leman Russ overview presents its combination of heavy protection, long range and variant weapons as the Imperial Guard’s armoured benchmark. The accompanying artillery discussion contrasts the Manticore’s repeated rocket salvos with the Deathstrike’s delayed but potentially overwhelming single missile. These introductory profiles explain why opponents must prioritise the artillery while confronting tanks able to support a wide range of battlefield roles.
