I just got a leman russ exacutioner for my IG army, any basic tactics for it?

Fire it at your opponent's most expensive infantry, or at light vehicles or very closely packed infantry of any type. Russes have great front and side armour but are vulnerable at the rear and to assaults. So keep the tank on or near your own board edge and ring it round with infantry to prevent your opponent rushing it.

It's a giant chunk of points. AWESOME at killing TEQ and MEQ. However, keep in mind that they can still take a coversave against it if they are in cover and that your rear armour 11 will come back to bite you in your... well... rear at some point, hence the above suggestion of ringing it in infantry.

It would work great as a "denial" piece, the enemy is so afraid of it you can use it to coral him into where you want him. However, some people have been known to target them 2nd (after vandettas) and it is quite the points to be putting into a tank. If you want MAX KILLY, put Plas sponsons on it. Makes it near landraider points total, but will absolutely munch TEQ and MEQ in the open.

Personally, i have fielded a proxy of it in friendly games of 2k around my FLGS with either blazing success or abysmal failure. The main problem i have found is i run all mech so i can't "conga-line" infantry around it to keep it from getting wolf scout meltabombs up the tailpipe. That being said, it does scare the living feth out of most of the guys i play with. Your mileage may vary, i give it a 7/10 with plas sponsons.

Plas cannon sponsons and hull mount if possible.

"TH/SS Terminators sighted sir!"

"Lock on target! Eat this :bleeps:s, see how you like those shields now!"

They would actually love those shields.
