Hello, a newbie question here.
I just got a Leman Russ 3 pack to add to my long neglected Voystron Guard. I am thinking of saving 1 till I can get the bits for a Demolisher, but am wondering how they should be kitted out.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum! I generally give them a hull lascannon (pricey but keeps 'em deadly even if you lose the battlecannon), and the sponsons are a preference thing. Again, they make the tank more deadly if you lose the main gun, but otherwise they are not worth much. The only vehicle upgrade I use is smoke launchers, stubbers can't fire at the same time as a battlecannon anyway so I only piut stubbers opn chimeras. Other upgrades I tend to forget about during the game anyway.

It really depends on now you're running the rest of your army, when I run tanks (not often) I usually just field Demolishers with a hull lazcannon, that way I'm tank sniping as I advance with my sloggers... If I were to run regular Battle cannons, I'd just use a hull HB with HB side sponsons and a pintle stubber, if I lose the cannon, I'd just use the tank as a pillbox.

Yeah thats good, but also the kit only comes with a hull lascannon.

Go bolters all the way!
Give the commander a las just to keep it safe.

extra armour too!!! makes your demolisher and lemun russes even more resistant! the points are cheap and theyre a life saver against those stunned roles. and i'd go for hull heavy bolters....cheap and afterall you can only fire one ordnance...no point in getting sponsoons...well fer me anyways...gud luck!

I use the standard Las/HB sponsons. Generally If I get a weapon destroyed, I lost the Battle Cannon. By having the Las on it it doesnt change the role of the tank. I can still hunt armor and not have to suddenly find it in an awkward spot on the field. I used to love pintle weapons and they have fallen out of favor recently. They never seemed to do much damage and the points saved allowed me to better equip other squads or my command. 3xHBs are great, but I would suggest leaving them on exterminators and the likes.

Yeah, the HBs are better left to the inf. hunting type of tank, support tanks and such, unless you've got tanks to spare, and alot of them.
