what are forgeworld's leman russ trench rails for and what do they actually do?

They are cool parts that stick onto the back of the tank, in real life they help the tank cross over the top of the trench system.

They are for Forge World to make some extra cash by selling you something you'll only use once in a blue moon .

They enhance the rearward portions of the Leman Russ in order to help it mate with the Chimera and produce lots of little Cyclops. Kind of like a push-up bra, for tanks.

Alot of the answers can be taking for truth here. In the 'world' sense they are there to help a tank cross a trench without falling backwards into it. In the game sense, nothing. In the forge world sense its a bling bit to blow your cash on.

Oh, right. if i happen upon some unspent money, i might get them for my 3 shadowsword domination force leman russes, as i often use the on my trench board at home.

Same thing as the Sororitas Rhino Doors-- just decoration to personalize your vehicles.
