I can't seem to find a Leman Russ Eradicator anywhere, not GW or FW, do you have to make your own?

Can somebody help me on this

I don't think there is a model currently for the eradicator, I don't have my codex in front of me right now, but if its the one that ignores cover the best conversion might be run an old conqueror since it has the shorter barrel, that or find someone who has a Baneblade that didn't use the Hell hammer turret and put it on the LR turret

I converted mine using the hellhammer turret from my baneblade. It is a hair to big for the original battle cannon mantle, so you can use green stuff to mask that

Welcome to the current-era GW Hobby, where not everything has a model, and GW won't tell you if (let alone when) they plan on making one.

oh HBMC, you pessimist!

Not pessimism, r3n3g8b0y, realism.

I think you mean "realist," MinMax.

Yes, GW for a long while promised that all units in their main codices would have a GW, not Forgeworld, supported model. That was why they took the Vanquisher, Griffon (model was canceled), and Exterminator (canceled) out of the 2nd Edition Guard Codex. That is not to say they supported all vehicle options, but the main models were provided.

Which makes me scratch my head with the current codex. Yes, the main body of the vehicle is there, and for the most part, all the Leman Russ variants are easy to either acquire or make (I currently have on Russ with easy conversions for four of the seven variants, and plans for one more). But for the Basilisk variants, I am at a bit of a loss.

For the Eradicator, you can simply chop down the normal Battle Cannon barrel to the expansion collar and add a sleeve. The old Conqueror models are also essentially the Eradicator. The Hellhammer barrel from the Baneblade is you best bet to look like the one in the codex.
