Description

The Leman Russ Executioner is an extremely rare variant of the standard Leman Russ Battle Tank used by the Imperial Guard. It uses the same chassis as the "common" Leman Russ but mounts a massive Plasma destroyer rather than a Battle cannon. Current ideas and superstitions around the Executioner are mainly centred on their tendency to explode. This is due to the temperamental weapon, the Plasma Destroyer, and its extremely high energy output. The crew are protected by both emergency coolant vents and heat shielding, which is enough to save them during a catastrophic containment field failure and give them time to escape. Many also include an emergency coolant flask at the rear of the vehicle with twin coolant lines running over the top of the vehicle to the weapon, but these are subject to battle damage and are less than reliable. Many green tank crews are likely to abandon their vehicle at the first sign of trouble, but are harshly punished for this by the regiments Commissar. Many odd, old superstitions surround the blessing of the main gun are still observed in an attempt to make sure that the crew come back alive. Most crews prefer a Battle Cannon and those who ride an Executioner are said to have a foolhardy (or insane) bravery.
