My 2 cents on the Leman Russ Punisher:

I've ran it in several games without pask, and I have to say it's seriously underrated, especially if you run it with other russes. The main thing is that oppenents seem to ignore it with their AT if there are other LRBT or Demolishers on the field.

Each game I will look at what the opponent has, pick a unit that it will be most effective against, and then relentlessly go after that unit. It performs exceptionally against Demon Princes, Greater Demons, Tyranid Big Bugs, even C'Tan to some extent (each of these match ups were play tested). It is also very good against Long Fangs and puts enough wounds into MEQs to be effective support. I will say the tank wont be annihilating units like a lucky pie plate can, but it puts out a lot of wounds, which is good against both hordes and MEQs.

I will restate that the Punisher should only be fielded if you are already planning on fielding multiple russes. This will cause it to be farther down the target priority list due to people's inexperience with it and the constant bashing it takes on forums like these.
