Big lighting storm Terminator style. Out comes the Great Wolf. His blonde hair turned white, a long beard stretching down to his chest, and most importantly, one milky left white eye.
Why?
- Because it would make sense for him to have suffered wounds during his 10 millenia in the Warp presumably kicking Deamon ass.
- Because in that meantime he might've grown weary of senseless battle and perhaps wiser (cough cough Odin parallel cough cough), metaphorically trading his eye for wisdom.
- Because It would mirror MAGNUS.
I recently read the excerpt of him and alpharius talking and leman giving a very subtle hint that he knew there were two primarchs of the alpha legion and was wondering if there are more moments showing him like that?
The joke post about bringing a Leman Russ to kill team inspired me to figure out a way to bring it into the game in some way that could make mechanical sense.
This is what I came up with. I haven't gotten a game with it yet, so there are likely some oddities with it as it is so mechanically different than anything else in the game. I wanted to make it something more interesting than just a single model with a crazy amount of wounds. Anyone who wants to give it a try (or critique) is welcome to do so!
I'll be playing it this week to see how it handles.

This Saturday at 8pm EST we are putting together a lobby of PC players on Project Cars 2 to do 2.4 hours around Lemans! You'll have the option of LMP1, LMP2, and GTE. All skill levels are welcomed, but beware we are very clean racers so we expect you to be as well. I'll post our discord in the comments and you can come check it out! Nothing super intense, just want to have a good time and some clean endurance racing
So I just started Leman Russ Primarch novel because ironically, The Lion is my favorite Primarch and this quote just gave me the chillsβ¦
βSo you are here yourself, Leman,' came the lion's response. 'Now get your dogs on their leashes, or I shall bring them to heel myself.β

Leman Russ: The Great Wolf

Lmao no wonder heβs the most hated, but I wonder why he is never counted amongst the top 5 strongest? Heβs bad ass.
Yeah, like it says, Leman and the SW goes to Monarchia, destroy it, and after bringing the Word Bearers and Lorgar, in the kneeling he orders Leman Russ to execute his brother and legion with the help of the Space Wolves.
An Imperial Army tank commander has opinions about the Leman Russ battle tank. It's very interesting to see how much hate there is for this vehicle. I thought tankers tended to love their machines, not despise them as death traps.
>And of all the possible tanks to be stuck in, a Leman Russ was probably the worst. People spoke of it as the Pride of the Imperium, the greatest battle tank in human history, the mainstay of the Great Crusade. Was it shit. A Leman Russ was a rolling deathtrap. Its tall profile was so notoriously awful that no commander ever wanted to be squadron leaderΒ β the only thing big enough to shield a Leman Russ during operations was another Leman Russ, so better to keep the command unit ahead of you for as long as you could. Its fragile tracks were exposed and its armour was a mess of easy-to-hit vertical planes. The standard pattern sponson-bulges just presented another flat edge to destroy, another reason to be glad not to have them. The interior was noisy and prone to bursting into flames whenever a loader coughed too loudly. And, if you were truly unlucky enough to have those sponsons, there was only one escape hatch, right at the top of the main turret, and so the chances of getting out alive in case of all-too-likely disaster were practically zero.
>No, whoever had designed the Leman RussΒ β Kaska had always assumed it wasnβt actually the primarch of the VIΒ β was a moron. Or a sadist. Or both. The only things it had going for it were cheapness, mechanical reliability and a certain rugged survivability in numbers. The design was so brutally simple that the Imperium was able to churn them out by the million. It mattered less that each individual unit was a study in self-harm when you could overwhelm a battlefield with hundreds of them. And a front-mounted lascannon at least could keep firing as long as its power packs held a charge, which made running out of shells somewhat less of a disaster.
>Still, all in all, the crews had few illusions about the tanks they rode into war. Deathboxes, they were called, and homewreckers, and other, earthier, names too. Infantry troopers would occasionally look askance at them, jealous of all that thick armour they had around them, but a Leman Russ tanker knew how fragile it all was really, and how going out to a las-blast was far preferable to being burned alive or buried under a wall of mud or suffocated by trapped engine smoke.
They're not really worth it are they? Seems like a ton of points for some weapons that either don't do much or you won't get close enough to do anything with.
Had a game this afternoon and out if my 3 russes not a single point of damage was done with them.
Anyone have a different opinion?
