After trying out a few ideas I had of new Leman Russ designs I found that I like this option the best, half Rhino half Russ I dub it the Rhuss
While the front and sides look great, the rear needs a little improvement, otherwise I think it updates the World War 1 looking Russ into a more durable looking tank

Nice. That works quite well. It looks like a mini baneblade

I like the improvised armor, and the rhino tracks look so much more practical than the Russ.

Looks like the exact opposite of what I've done (wherein I took rhino body with russ tracks/sponsons to make a predator, etc.). Nice work.

Sounds like you two need to start a trade program

I also converted my predators to have Russ sponsons both because they look better and because they can be switched between bolter and las cannons.

Yeah, makes it damn easy too since mine are using Russ side tracks as well - magnets stored inside, so I can run a single vehicle as:

-Rhino
-Predator (with any weapon combination, including the Hellforged ones)
-Vindicator (magnetized plow and gun box)
-Scorpius (rocket launching box on the back) etc.

Only down side is I have three and feel like I need a fourth chassis with all the options I have now.

Ah, nice to see you liked that gun design. I was hoping to see somebody using that, thanks Elbows! The magnetrons were another of my designs, a while back.
