Subject: Leman Russ pronouciation. Pronouciation thread now. :)

How do you pronounce Leman Russ? I thought it was LEE man Russ. When I herd the Genestealer Cult video on WH TV it sounded like Lemon Russ.
So what is the proper pronounciation? I know we have Tear a nids and shimera's but this Lemon Russ just mindboggles me now. 
*edit*
Let's make this a pronunciation thread now since we haven't had one in a while and it seems people are having fun with it since the original question is sort of answered. Would love to still hear how people pronounce it.

I've always said Lee-Mon Russ.
The "Mon" is like Jamaican for "man."

So basically he's Lemon Russ to you?
I don't care for that one bit!
Lea-Man
Now as for Russ
It's either
Russ like rustle
or Scandinavian/ germanic pronunciation would be - Ruus or Reus or Roos

The tank or the primarch? The tank I’ve always pronounced "Lee-Man". The Primarch is “Bow-wow, Bark, Woof woof”.

100% sure it's Lee-man, like many others have said I can't take a Lemon Russ Battle Tank as seriously as a Leman Russ Battle Tank; they might have to make a new variant - the Leman Russ Citrus

I bet there is an Audio Drama that discloses that one - I think of it as Ro-boot Gui-le-man like others here.
I know the Leman Russ Tank Crew in DOW2 call the tank a Lee-man Russ

Yeah in the GSC developer video he pronounces it Le'man Russ which makes it sound french.
In all honesty imagine how funny it would be if we imagined Space Wolves with gruff and/or Scandinavian accents.... when in reality they actually had extremely strong french accents?
Either way Leman Russ should be pronounced LeeMan (Or Leemun) Russ.

Tbh being a midlander I keep switching between the two They sound pretty similar, maybe someone is good enough in phonetics to construct it's pronunciation for us wiki style?

Just call it a TANK
But beyond that.
Lee-man Russ with russ pronounced similar to the rus in "rust"
What more irritates me are people at my FLGS who pronounce Chimera with a Ch like from Chinook. Its not pronounced like that!!! In Chimera the CH is pronounced with a K sound
Its difficult to explain, beyond "k-imera" like the ki in "Kite"

Us Midlanders really do struggle to talk without sounding funny to everyone else - I sometimes talk more like a Northerner or even use Americanisms so my accent doesn't come off as one of a snob

Leman ryhmes with Neiman as in Neiman Marcus stores. Russ like first syllable of rusty. That's for me anyway, and I take pronunciation from audio books/dramas or interviews (though those sometimes change like Abaddon

My job involves tech support in the UK. It's amazing to me how quickly I started identifying regional accents. Makes me wonder if non-Americans can tell the difference in our regional accents.
