Just a quick question. With the option for allies, is it possible to start fielding my old Leman Russ Exterminator again?

Thanks! :)

Yes. Codex: Imperial Guard. 1 HQ (Lord Commisar or Primaris Psyker), and 1 Troops (Infantry Platoon, Veteran Squad, or Penal Squad) gives you 1 Leman Russ Squadron.

I love Tau in CC, it's like clubbing baby seals, only tau are neither cute nor fluffy or protected by the Maritime Mammal Act..... so it's perfectly legal and the Sierra Club ASPCA nuts won't come looking for you!

For the regular Guardsman you've got Commissars holding guns to their backs. They're faithful in their own way, sometimes mightily so, but they are regular folks who've led regular lives, with the completely understandable desire to continue living that causes them to duck when they get shot at. Sisters are orphans raised in perpetual Sunday school, fanatical to the point that they look at Repentia and feel a twinge of jealousy that those girls will see the Emperor sooner than they will.

I don't think much justification is required. SW's and IG have worked together many times in fluff. For look and feel I'd go with Vostroyans (love the models). If the LR's are painted in SW colors, I'd just keep them that way, and paint the IG totally different. For me, this is more for defiance for GW taking away our beloved tank.

People might say that it hurts, that the psyche aches from the wound. It's not true though. Abandonment does not leave pain. You wished it did because that would be better than the truth. It leaves nothing. Not hope, not pain, not forgiveness."

Also the Space Wolves keep their own bondsmen outfitted like a an average PDF plus whatever the Wolves see fit. I'm sure that THE tank named after their primarch has made its way into Fenrisian service. :huh:

Oh most definitely! Methinks I'll even put a marine on the top hatch with the pintle stormbolter just to rub it in their face.

Anyone know if the forgeworld idea plaguewolf mentioned is do-able?

Although I think, considering the rarity of Space Wolves using the tank, having two in a battle might be a little unusual. Hmmm...

Are you guys aware that the Leman Russ Exterminator made its debut in the 3rd Ed Space Wolves Codex? At one time it was a pattern unique to SW armies.

The Iron Priests in your GC have meticulously kept the tanks alive sacrificing themselves and many servitors and thralls to ensure they keep fighting and killing in the name of Russ and the Allfather!

OR, in honor of your GC delivering results and saving many IG lives, they provided several LRE's in honour of the blood debt.

Ahh, those should be suitable. Thanks, Lord Ragnarok!
