which is better the leman russ battle tank or demolisher, cause i am trying to decide which to get 4 my army

thanks

They both do different things. Neither is better. It depends on your army as a whole; what do you need to do more, kill marines and other infantry at long range, or kill terminators or insta-kill t5 opponents at really short range? Overall, I would say that the LRBT is better in most situations. Plasma guns can handle what it cannot, and having a 24" range makes your tank pretty vulnerable.

Of course, if you buy the demolisher box set, couldn't you paint all the bits and cunningly convert/magnetise it to be whatever you want? I think the demolisher box still has the battlecannon parts in it...

or get a russ & a FW demolisher turret (they look so much netter IMO)

I second ArbitorIan's statement. If you're only going to have one, magnetize the sponson and trade for a second turret (it's pretty difficult to magnetize the main cannon.)

Yea the magnets are really the way to go on something like that. That way you can get 2 tanks for one, and itd be useful no matter what your playing against. Flexibility is a must in this game

Or you could buy both and have my kind of flexibility where you just have multiple tanks for anything you could take.

I have both, and the LRBT is much more flexible. The demolisher cannon is handy against certain opponents, but like others said its lack of range is a handicap.

for best economy, magnetize the sponsons, and buy the seperate forgeworld turrets.

magnets are your friends

they are all good points, i'll probably get both and use magents like ArbitorIan said, i heard that with the new codex coming out there will be more tanks and the demolisher and LRMT will be in the same box, so i will probably wait until the new codex comes out.

thanks

If you want to get earth magnets, I know a site for that, or if you can find it in a shop/store/market, got for it, but here is the site anyways
