That Heavy Bolter is mounted on one side of the main gun, 1mm or so away from it. Google image search 'forge world Stormsword'. |

Oh, you're right; and it's a pretty obvious spot. I was going through my friend's Imperial Armour book and it didn't show that angle. Thanks! Now to figure out what to make Salamanders out of. |

I've been looking at the 2014 NetEA Army List Compendium, and I'm wondering if I'm missing some details on the various tank types. A Leman Russ Conqueror is the same points as a Leman Russ Exterminator, but the Exterminator is unquestionably better (an extra 2xAP5+ from the sponsons, and AP4+ rather than 5+ for the main gun). The Conqueror also looks very weak compared to a regular Russ, losing the heavy bolter sponsors, 30cm main gun range and dropping from 4+/4+ to 5+/5+ on the main gun for only 10pts less. Are any of these stats or points likely to change? I'm assembling a heap of tanks now, converting them into different varieties, but am a little disappointed that there is no reason at all to take Conquerors right now. |

Conquerors trade weapons for speed (20cm v 30cm). You don't see them in line companies very much but they're great high speed blitz raiders in a 6 tank squadron (or two of them easily in 3k). I use them to great effect as a harassment force. |

Unfortunate that they're not an option for Steel Legion armies- 3 could be added to a Mech Infantry company to boost the toughness but keep speed. 6 is a harder number of models to come by. |

Controversial take: Leman Russ Destroyers and Hellhounds should be deployed as separate squadrons. |
