I just looked through the entire new codex & was unable to locate "Beast hunter shells." I checked the Leman Russ section as well as the armaments section in the back of the codex but don't see any such rules. Perhaps I am blind. Can anyone tell me what page # they are located on or if these are official? Just to clarify, I am not asking for anyone to post the rules, but rather to point me in the right direction as to their location. Thanks

They're from Imperial Armour, not GW.

Thank you. Have you ever used BHS? Do you see opponents not permitting them seeing as they are Forgeworld or IA addon?

My opponents are perfectly cool with them and I'm cool with them being used on me.

They're specific to the Imperial Armour 1 second edition book's Armoured Battlegroup list, it's not available outside of that by the current ruleset, they're available only to Leman Russ Vanquishers taken in HQ or Elites slot in an AB list.

Thanks for the additional information Vak. Also appreciate the insight Kain.

My most common opponent is a Tyranid player, and he's never had a problem with them. But that is probably related to my continued ability to roll maximum possible scatter consistently on the damned things. I've killed more Marine captains with them than large, angry bugs.

Scatter? You can only take them on Vanquishers as far as I'm aware, so you shouldn't be rolling a scatter.

They give the vanquisher cannon a second fire mode, which is a small blast.

I am considering writing up a ABG/AM list so that I can take a proper tank commander. The beast hunter shells and co-ax stubber, along with not having to take an HQ squadron, make a compelling case. BHs themselves are worth it for the psychological factor alone, they strike fear into the hearts of MCs everywhere. I always seem to roll 1s to wound though.

They're small blast . You however take a coax stubber so, assuming you manage one hit with the stubber you Reroll the scatter dice if needed.

I'm building allies for my chaos, so highly recommend building a list with them. Worst case you have a tank commander tank to yes
