Forge World Models that Became 40k Models?

[Plasmablasts]

Weren’t some of the Leman Russ variants FW originally? Fairly certain that’s true of the Executioner at least.

From an old Imperial Armour Book puplished 2000 you had:

Leman Russ Conqueror

Leman Russ Vanquisher (Gryphonne IV and Stygies VII patterns)

Leman Russ Executioner

Baneblade

Shadowsword

Chimera (Gryphonne IV and Heavy Flamer Variant)

Hydra

Manticore

 

I havent Cross checked, but the Vanquisher and Chimera Variants didnt have different Rules except the Heavy Flamer Chimera which was not an option in the 3rd Edition kit.

Yes, the Executioner and the Vanquisher.

The Vanquisher was in the 3rd Edition Guard Codex already.

Yes, the Executioner and the Vanquisher.

The Vanquisher was in the 3rd Edition Guard Codex already.

That was just rules though, and the Vanquisher turret model came out from FW before the 3rd edition guard codex was released. It was a FW model originally, there was no 40k studio plastic vanquisher until 2010 when the current plastics Leman Russ was released.
