Curious what options are included in the Russ box. Everything to make all the variants or do some need to be converted? Thanks!

The newest one contains the bits for the Demolisher, Executioner, and Punisher.

Thanks for the info... Can the bits for the others be bought? I do not see them(yet)...

You may be able to find Exterminator metal bits on ebay and through other second hand sources.

Exterminators and Vanquishers may also be gotten through Forge World(and e-bay).

And there's rumours of a new Russ boss with the rest of the variants in March.

Thanks again!

The "regular" Leman Russ box still only contains an ordinary Leman Russ with Battle Cannon. It's the same basic kit they've been selling since 1994. The NEW Demolisher kit makes a Demolisher or a Punisher or Executioner as well.

I had that bundle deal Apocalypse box of 10 Leman Russ kits sitting around when the new IG Codex was released, so I made many variants out of the regular Leman Russ using plastic parts from other IG kits. I made a Demolisher, Punisher and Executioner conversion using plastic bits from the new Demolisher kit. I also made an Exterminator using plastic Autocannons from the IG Heavy Weapon Teams. I made Vanquishers using plastic tubing. If you're interested how I accomplished some of these conversions, check out my modeling articles on BoLS entitled Leman Russ Tank Variant Workshop. There are two articles, Part 1 and Part II.

Sample Exterminator Conversion:


Sample Eradicator Conversion:

The standard LR kit has not been updated ...yet ( march-april) Just a new cover.

The Demolisher kit makes it , Pun, and Exterminator.
