I recently bought an assembled Leman Russ model used, and it has a ton of stuff on it.

The rules say Lumbering Behemoth means it can fire it's turret in addition to "any other weapon it can usually fire".

Practically speaking, what does that actually mean?

My Russ has:

1. Battle cannon
2. Heavy bolter sponsors
3. Pintle mounted heavy stubber
4, Hull mounted lascannon

If I move it 6" what can I fire?

**DeathReaper**

It means, you can shoot whatever weapons you can usually shoot based on the speed of the tank, and you can also fire the turret weapon in addition to those other weapons.

How many weapons can it normally fire?

Add the turret to that number (even if it's ordnance) and you've answered the question

Read the rule book there is a nice little table in their about how vehicles move and shoot.

**Stoobert**

Figured it out from page 58 of my little mini-Rulebook.

If I move the russ 6" I can:

1. fire the turret
2. fire the pintle mounted stubber
3. fire EITHER the lascannon OR the sponsons

**nosferatu1001**

SponSON, as each sponson is a separate weapon. So you can fire a hb or lascannon if you move 6", but not 2 hb

**Nungunz**

Stationary: All Weapons
Combat Speed: One Weapon + Turret Weapon(s) + Defensive Weapons
Cruising Speed: No Weapons

**Vendetta 476**

I thought the lumbering behemoth rule meant that the Leman Russ counts as stationary if moved 6" or something.

**nosferatu1001**

No, it has nothing to do with that. "Heavy" in the Necron codex is what youre thinking of.

**Kapitan Montag**

doesn't lumbering behemoth also mean that if it moves cruising speed it only goes 6" +D6" rather than the usual twelve?. I'm moving house so all my codices ar packed up atm.

That's correct.
