The Leman Russ Conqueror
| [Content from Epic 40,000 #2 page 16.] |
The Leman Russ Conqueror variant is built exclusively on the Forge World of Gryphonne IV, using the secret knowledge of the planet’s Adeptus Mechanicus munitions adepts. The Conqueror was first used to equip the Tech Guard of Gryphonne IV supporting the War Griffons Titan Legion during the Relief of Castra Septus. The Conquerors kept up with the Titans’ advance as two battle groups launched a lightning attack to encircle the besiegers of Castra Septus, trapping them inside a pocket, which was eventually annihilated.
Never as widely produced as the STC Leman Russ or Demolisher, a few Conquerors have found their way into those Imperial Guard armoured regiments equipped from the foundries of Gryphonne IV. It is well liked by its crews, despite lacking heavy hitting power. Its mobility allows it to get out of trouble, find cover or exploit a breakthrough quickly, whist maintaining a good rate of fire.
