HEAVY SUPPORT |
The Leman Russ Lance is an anti-armour variant of the Leman Russ based on the same principles as the Leman Russ Exterminator. The Lance has a pair of twin-linked lascannons in its turret, allowing it to move quickly across the battlefield and still have superior anti-tank firepower. Common full weaponry for the Lance includes a hull-mounted lascannon and two sponson-mounted lascannons. The Lance was first put into service by the Carthian XVI in the fighting on Pentel II in 565.M38. It has been inducted into the service of several Imperial Guard regiments since, and is being manufactured on a number of Forge Worlds. Type: Tank. Crew: Imperial Guard. Weapons: The Lance is armed with a turret-mounted lascannon. In addition, you must also have a hull-mounted weapon at the following additional points cost: lascannon at +15 points; heavy bolter at +5 points. Options: The Lance may be upgraded with two side sponsons armed with a pair of heavy bolters at +10 points or a pair of heavy flamers at +10 points. The Lance may also be given smoke launchers for +3 points.
Chimedon assault vehicles have had their turret strengthened to mout a short barreled battle cannon similar to those carried by a Leman Russ. The battle cannon's powerful armour-piercing shells can easily smash opposing tanks, giving it tremendous tactical flexibility when combined with the Chimera's sturdy and maneuverable hull. They provide supporting fire for platoons of infantry which are facing enemy armour or dug-in infantry. They are also used in the mobile formations such as the SOCs and armoured cavalry to replace tanks.
Weapons: The Chimedon is armed with a turret-mounted battlecannon and a hull-mounted heavy bolter. Options: A Chimedon may be given upgrades from the Vehicle Upgrades in the Valhallan Armoury.
Chimerax assault vehicles are easily recognisable because their turret has been upgraded to mount four light autocannon. These multiple autocannon allow the Chimerax to lay down a withering curtain of fire. This is highly effective for keeping enemy infantry, light skimmers and flyers at bay even though the Chimerax is not equipped with complex tracking and ranging sensors like its larger cousin, the Hydra self propelled anti-aircraft gun.
Weapons: The Chimerax is armed with four turret-mounted autocannons (counts as two sets of twin-linked autocannons, they must all be fired at the same target and they can all be fired if moving) and a hull-mounted heavy bolter. Options: A Chimerax may be given upgrades from the Vehicle Upgrades in the Tallarn Armoury.
