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. This medium tank is named after the primarch of the Space Wolves, Leman Russ. The Leman Russ Battle Tank is the primary main battle tank of the Astra Militarum, and is also the most widely deployed tank in the Imperium. If you are referring to the Dozer blade that can be attached to the front, then yes, those do have points and rules and are described in the Guard Codex." What I cannot crush with words, I will crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard!"Ī Leman Russ battle tank creeps across a bridge during an urban battle They just add a bit of flavor as they imply that the Krieg forces field tanks modified to deal with trenches. The british MK1 from WWI was partially designed the way it was (and the length) to better accommodate trench crossings, as this would be a very common obstacle for tanks in that war. It looks like they were most common as add-ons for shorter tanks, to keep them from tipping back into a trench. If you do a google search, interestingly enough, you will mostly get images of Warhammer tanks and proxies, but you can find a few images scattered in there of real tanks with variations of these rails on the rear. If you are referring to the trench rails, then those serve a real life purpose for helping tanks cross trenches. When you say "digger", are you referring to the two trench rails on the rear of the alpha pattern tank and the malcador tanks or the dozer blade option that you can attach to the front of any Leman Russ?
