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.
