WARHAMMER 40K: Leman Russ Tank Redesign

My redesign sheet for Warhammer 40k's Leman Russ Tank. This was a fan project to modernize the design of the iconic Warhammer vehicle, Bellow is a full write-up

The front glacis plate was made into one sloping mountain of armor while still retaining the hull-mounted lascannon. the rear follows the same idea with an enlarged engine compartment complete with shrine details similar to the Baneblades compartment.

The turret has been widened and lengthened but still retains the original shape of the Leman Russ turret but now sports Cage armor that wraps around the bustle (Also doubles as a stowage rack) an optional ERA and Smoke Launcher Package reinforces the cheek armor of the turret

The main Battlecannon has been made smaller and brought into better scale with the rest of the tank the Turret Mantlet was made larger and now the tank sports a coaxial Heavy Stubber like how most if not all modern tanks have a coax machinegun

The commanders hatch has been offset giving adequate room for stowage or placement of an optional hunter-killer missile (Not Pictured) and the Heavy Stubber has been given a pintle mount resembling A DSHK mount but also works like how the Ridge Hauler Kit does!

The sponsons have been flattened a bit angled better, and now sport a rear-facing Las gun port! Explosive Reactive Armor now covers most of the tank's front and side surfaces. it blows my mind that 40k doesn't already have "explosives for armor" but I was hoping to bring ERA and other more modern protections into the imperial guard aesthetic with this redesign! The turret and Mantlet was designed so that should this be a Kit, only 1 turret is needed and the rest of the variants can be made by swapping out or modifying the mantlet

The Eradicator, The Punisher, and The Executioner all use the original mantlet and plug into the battle cannons port. The Exterminator and the conqueror each use their own Mantlets, and the Vanquisher Cannon Plugs into the conqueror cannon

Lastly, the Dozer has been redesigned taking inspiration from the Aegis Defense Line and other Imperial Guard fortifications but also sports a large flat surface for additional ERA, Murals, Paintings, or heroic relief sculpture, etc!
