So, the old plastic Russ was a Phaeton-pattern. The FW one is Mars-Alpha, with the old design also being called that.
My question is- what’s the new (ie. 2009-present) plastic Russ’ pattern?

See that stuff above? Completely true. All of it, every single word. Stands to reason.

What's the source for the Phaeton-pattern? I thought they had always all been Mars-pattern?

EDIT: Well, that was a bit of a rabbit-hole. The original was a Mars Hull with a Phaeton Turret ("targeting box on the side"), then FW started using Phaeton for some of their turrets.

This isn't exactly true.

- Vehicles like the executioner variant is only made on Ryza.
- The vanquisher variant is only built on Tigrus (before it was destroyed), Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII. Other forge worlds may be able to build the vanquisher, but none have been name dropped to my knowledge.
- The conqueror variant is built on Gryphonne IV, Mars, and other unnamed forge worlds.

So the current leman russ kit, cannot be a single pattern of vehicle.

Technically, NOTHING is built on Gryphonne IV, they're all relics.

Games of 40k can take place during anytime during the 41st millennium. They don't all have to take place in current lore, so they could either be freshly built or relics.

-Nova cannons are made on other forge worlds, Ryza simply makes the vast majority of them and is particularly good at plasma.
-As you say, other worlds do make the Vanq.
-“and other unnamed forge worlds”.

Also, it has been shown that hull patterns, at least, can be manufactured by different forge worlds but remain the same pattern- Gryphonne and Ryza, for example.
So it is a valid question.

You literally mention another Forge World as being destroyed in your own post, despite there being an entire game system set during the time it exists. By your own logic, dead planets aren't ever worth mentioning as being dead.

For a while I thought it was Mars-pattern, but looking back I’ve been unable to find a source for that.

I only mentioned that, as the destruction of Tigrus is the very reason why Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII started to build the Vanquisher in the first place. I haven't read any other named planets taking up the production of Gryphonne IV pattern vehicles after its destruction.

You are right, it does sound hypercritic of me. I'll give that to you and I apologise, but the above was my thought process.

The entire point of my original post is that the current Leman Russ kits aren't a single pattern of vehicle. With the old Leman Russ kit that was possible because it only built the one variant.

Except that, as has been said, it is possible. There’s no conqueror in the plastic kit. The current Russ can be a single pattern of vehicle.

Executioners are said to be solely produced on Ryza. So the kit with the Demolisher, Punisher, and Executioner has to be a Ryza pattern. Even though FW (the company not planetary type) produces their own Ryza turret. Though it’s not unreasonable for a planet to produce 2 types of turret.

The standard Leman Russ kit is too hard to pinpoint. It’s clearly not a Gryphonne IV or Stygies VII pattern, as FW produces those Vanquishers. So that means it’s either a relic of Tigrus or another FW that successfully replicated the Vanquisher cannon. The other variants in that kit are too common to distinguish.

They are said to be solely produced on Ryza in the 41st Millenium.

Unnamed FWs have built vanqs. This is not an argument worth having.

You'll need to show me the source for this. Ever since the original Imperial Armour around 3rd edition it's been said to have only been produced on Ryza. That means either the current demolisher/punisher/executioner kit is from Ryza or the tank being used is 10,000 years old.

I literally said that...

It being an unnamed FW also defeats the purpose of this entire thread. You can't name a pattern if you don't know the planets name.

There are dates between 30,000 and 40,000, you know.

No, it doesn’t defeat the point of the thread. If the pattern of chassis and turret is known then the Vanq can be matched to it. Alternatively, the weapons could have been installed in different turrets- given the stress IA places on how rare they are, it’s hardly difficult to see them being moved after the destruction of an original tank.

As has been established, this is a valid thread. If you don’t have an answer, then that’s fine.

To answer OP, I do not believe it has been stated in canon as to what pattern the new turret is.

I feel some people are misunderstanding the different between where it is built and the pattern used. A Mars pattern hull can be built somewhere other than Mars, but it's still a "Mars Pattern" hull. The same with the Phaeton pattern turret. So you can have a Mars pattern hull with a Phaeton pattern turret built on Ryza with a Executioner plasma cannon. They are still [X] pattern regardless of where they are built.


It was stated in IA:1 that other forgeworlds where trying to replicate their own vanquishers after Tigrus fell to Orks, with Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII being the ones to have succeeded in creating their own versions.

For the Executioner, I feel it should be pointed out that the lore that only Ryza builds them is from when it was a FW only non-codex model. So units like it (and the Vanquisher) had explanations for as to why they were rare even though at the time they were arguably better than the codex version (remember, vanquisher could originally choose between normal and AT shots)
