Look at this hybrid armor!

Originally I DON'T Think this is official, it is rather the works of SMEs resin miniatures maker. If you remember the 'Reverse Rhomboid Leman Russ' then look at this!



clearly it is 'the gap bridging of Predator and Land Raider'. this item appears to be Astartes 'Leman Russ tank' and if the description is correct, then it might comes with Leman Russ main guns
and it appears to have the size of Leman Russ too!

And i can't believe that this is FW release! yet even if it does. do you think that IG can use one as Leman Russ? if a collector wants futuristic looks of his army rather than 1930s gimmick. supposed that it comes with battlecannon turret?

Lone Cat.

The only thing this "clearly" is is "You don't have one of these yet."

But these have been in production for a while and there are several variants.

I see, Sicarian MBT, armed with twin autocannon and choices of sponson guns, another variant (Venator?) is a tank destroyer similar to IG 'Destroyer' thing (but better p'rhaps)

Yet I don't see Sicarian/ Hercules with battlecannon/executioner turret yet.

It's not an IG tank. It was the exclusive domain of the Legions.
Expecting it to have IG weapons is strange.
If someone wanted to use one as a Leman Russ they'd have to okay it with their opponents first.

1. So if I refit the Hercules with Battlecannon turret and heavybolter sponsons then I can still use it as Leman Russ?
2. IS it STC construct too? if so does the design leads to Leman Russ and its variants used by Imperial Guard?

Why do you keep calling it a Hercules? It's called a Sicarian, its weapon is the Herakles accelerator cannon or something.

If you refit it with a battlecannon and heavy bolters, then if you want to you can use it as a Leman Russ if your opponent will allow it, but keep in mind its much larger than a Leman Russ, so they may not allow it.

Its not an STC construct, it was made from various STC technologies relating to the Predator and Land Raider however. But it DEFINITELY has NOTHING TO DO WITH A LEMAN RUSS, which IS an STC construct which was found by the Primarch of the same name.
