Hence if they do outflank and appear where they should not have been, they can at least try to go fast to get to where they should be. This means that unlike their 40k descendants, they can move very fast. On top of this, they have an induction charger fitted.

Outflanking a Leman Russ (or a squadron of them!) in a critical area of the board means that the controlling player is suddenly in a really good position compared to what might otherwise happen if they were set up as a part of a gun line army.

Most tanks in 30k and 40k have significantly weaker armour to their rear. Well, that is until you start to realise what outflanking Leman Russ tanks might be capable of. They are not game breaking in the slightest. They are a reasonable price, and they perform accordingly. Significantly, there are FOUR variants to select between and a squadron can be up to three tanks. Named for one of the primarchs, the Leman Russ battle tanks are an excellent choice for the Solar Auxilia.
