According to some one at Warseer who went to the Open Day today, John Blanche has indeed said it was a conversion.

Shame, although I still wonder on why he has done it, I'm hoping privileged information as he can glance in the new codex.

Which means one of two things:

1. It's just a conversion someone made. Nothing special.
2. It's a conversion someone made to represent an actual Russ variant in the new Codex, a variant we won't see an official model for for atleast another year, year and a half.

I'd much prefer option 1.

HBMC has enough russ chassis tanks to provide a large village with armored companies. If there were a new russ variant in the book, he'd "accidently" order 12 of them.

I'd have to get a squadron of 3, and if I got a squadron of 3, I'd have to get another 7 tanks to make a full company because I can't have incomplete units.

This is why I already have 3 Companies, and why I don't want any more Russ variants. GW can release plastic Demolishers, Vanquishers and Exterminators to their heart's content - I already have them, so I won't buy them - but as soon as they release something new, then I'm in trouble.

Same could be said about the idea of a Medusa in a new combined Artillery kit.

Indeed.

Though with the new 'if it's in there, we'll do it eventually' ethos I'd quite like to see new variants.

Could get interesting if the Codex has "new" tanks but we don't get models before 2010

I know.
Would use too but will stay"family-friendly" here instead.

Seems IG's only new tank for a while is the shadowsword/stormlord.
Maybe some CAD's (GD uk) come true later.

Interesting that it has a searchlight and sponsons but no smoke launchers. Rules ineficient or rules taster?

I see that his Heavy weapon squads are on 40mm bases. Last time I checked they aren't the bases they came on. They're also not a legal choice from the current IG codex.

If you look at the bottom of the page you can see the tank in the case at the Open house thingie. It looks pretty real to me that it is a new variant of LRBT, so I would put my money on a new kit.

Interesting that the multi-barrel design there uses the same 5-barrel pattern as the Vulcan Megabolter vice the 6-barrel design from the Assault Cannon (or 4-barrel design for the Burst Cannon). But if that's the new LRBT variant, color me less than impressed. Not a big fan of the design of that gun... The bit around the mantle is far too plain when compared to all the rather useless-looking detail closer to the muzzle(s).

Also, a few pix up, there is what appears to be new Tau Sept Shoulder Pads behind some new Pathfinders. That'd be a cool bits pack for the Tau and something that might pull some money out of my pocket.

It was confirmed at the Design Studio day that the Leman Russ variants from the "Spanish rumors" are in fact the names of the variants in the codex.

The model in the WD picture was apparently a conversion, as was the model shown on the (Taco) Bell of Lost Souls. They were conversion built using the gatling bolter from the Storm Lord and were used for play testing the new codex. They are not a design for the punisher or any other variant and that is not a recut chassis.

I don't like, the gun looks good but doesn't fit right. I hope it's not a new varient. There's plenty of other tanks they could put back into production rather than making new ones. Also don't like the barrels on the vulcan in the new kit. I want one but it'll be getting bigegr barrels!
