Here's a Thought:
Where does it say Sponsons have to be on either side of the tank?

**orkishlyorkish**

Here's another thought:
Rule wise, you can use an Epic rhino or predator and fit 10 models in the rhino and then run around being blocked from LOS by models feet and any piece of terrain!

Don't think anyone would let me do this either though

Well no because it's not a 40k model. That would be the same as me using a BFG Model as my Superheavy Thunderhawk.

And? who says you can't? As long as you have WYSIWYG. LOL

EDIT- I am, of course joking though.

All joking aside, would anyone have a problem with someone placing both sponsons on 1 side? I know on a Land Raider you can't, because the rules specifically state "Land Raiders have one access point on each side of the hull and one at the front.", but nothing is preventing you doing it on a Predator or Leman Russ

Well it's allowed by the rules, so I would say you shouldn't have a problem. Whether you do or not is another matter however

**orkishlyorkish**

I think this would solve a lot of problems. I would have no problem if someone did this in a game.

Broadside Leman Russ FTW Mofo!

I think you already know the answer to this one, bro.

(Besides you can make your Land Raider a seven of clubs with Lascannons glued to it if you want. It's not AGAINST THE RULES.)

Actually it is, because the rules technically forbid all conversions not made from Citadel Miniatures:

The Citadel miniatures used to play games of Warhammer 40,000 are referred to as 'models' in the rules that follow

However, Modelling a Leman Russ to have both sponsons on one side is NOT against the rules, because if that were, then modelling a marine with the bolter at an angle would be against the rules (and it isn't btw

)

It doesn't say that playing cards aren't referred to as models, just that Citadel Miniatures are.

A playing card is a model of.. uh.. a larger playing card. (Or you could consider the card to be an exemplar of it's kind, worthy of imitation. Either way.)

**orkishlyorkish**

If I add weapons to a piece of sprue, can it be a Leman Russ if it has full WYSIWYG?

**Orkeosaurus**

What if you sculpt a tiny citadel out of clay?

Well WYSIWYG needs to consist of a Leman Russ Hull

Fine I'll add a tiny piece ontop of the sprue piece
