Well, maybe if you don't magnetize your Leman Russes. If you do there is no such thing as "too many tanks".

eradicator was range 24 or 36in and it was S6 and ignores cover and has Ap 4 so it good for infantry and super light armor if you get side or rear shots if possible.

i think i'd rather take a normal leman russ

Oh deffinitly, you could put bolter sponsons on the eradicator and have it a super infantry killer but a battle tank can kill MEQ effectivly with its s8 ap3 battle cannon that also insta kills a lot, and it can damage armor pretty well.

I don't know, there's still plenty of Sv4+ or worse out there, and it still is AV14.

Yeah, I agree that it's only roughly as useful as a griffon, but it's not COMPLETELY useless, especially in a 6th ed world of more objectives games.

Oh im not saying it is useless, im just saying i would have the better all around unit for taking on my oponents because if your opponent has objectives in cover then he will know to direct his anti tank at the eradicator and then thats gunna be one dead tank. The rule that ive noticed for guard is taking more of something is better and I dont see fielding multiple eradicators as a good idea as feilding multiple LRBT or demolishers.

Sounds like a challenge!

Next thing you know, Ailaros will be waving around his 6 eradicator list saying it's amazing and driving every IG player on the continent into a frothing rage

lol, a six eradicator list?


Umm... I might have to think on that one for awhile...

Wouldn't think they'd be all that good against marine armies, due to them not caring about cover unless your gun takes away their armour save. I'd rather them have a 4/5/6+ cover than 3+ armour. And they cost more than the bog standard. Although against Guard/Nids/Orks/Eldar they'd be all right. Although you could then bring a Collusus for the AP3, 20 points less but the lack of AV14.

i just go with the lrbt

won another game today, againt chaos 2 lrbt and baselisk pounding the enemy to oblivion, and 20 man guard squads with first rank FIRE! second rank FIRE! love fox casters for that few point by the way

Well, the eradicator does wound them on 2's still. Against space marines in cover, an eradicator will do virtually the same job as an LRBT.

Of course, you don't get those few squishy out-of-cover moments with the eradicator, and its going to have a harder time against vehicles, but for blowing non-MEq stuff off of an objective, it obviously does a much better job.

There's not a lot of situations where there'll get a 3+ cover save though, save being in fortifications or going to ground. The bog standard would do better against them and against anything with T5+
Against non meq? I agree they'd do much better than the bog standard.
What about 2 LRBT, 2 LREradicators, 2 LRDemolishers? There's your 6 AV14 where each is somewhat specialized for different infantry (2 of them being somewhat multi-role) for 950 points.
It leaves the list for spamming guardsmen out of the cornhole.

Take great care; it's easy to not recognize any flaws or shortcomings in your list if you are winning.

Whenever you play, don't think "Well, that unit got job X done." Instead think "That unit did job X alright, but is there anything or any configuration that could have done job X cheaper/faster/smarter?"

i try to do that!
i know for sure the dreadnought i took as allies can be left away next time, same for the sniper special wep squad, instead of those im just gonna take another lrbt , and im gonna make room for marbo

ohgodsnipersws!Whydidyouthinkthatwasagoodthing?

because last time i played with snipers was with space marines with sgt telion and it worked out great

imperial guard snipers arent great

yes, because they are quite cool

I want to try an Eradicator leman russ but i just cant take it over the battle tank. Just a pesonal preference as the lrbt has not failed me yet.
