I love the idea of the Annihilation Russ but with funds at a premium I could not afford to buy three of them to bulk out the armies dedicated anti tank options. Sitting down I came up with a plan!

Bits:

  • One Leman Russ (full kit)
  • Two Las cannons from the Cadian heavy weapons sprue.
  • Magnets (optional)
  • Lots of tea.

First of all I clipped and prepped the bits in the usual way with files and clippers.

Next, I glued the exterminator weapon together to give me an idea where to make a cut with a saw. I decided to make the cut where the barrels finished.

Saw the barrels off. Saw the barrels off.

Next, again using a saw, cut and file the lascannons just before the targeting optics on the weapon. I also clipped off the under slung support to give a more streamlined effect.

Now the optional bit. Drill holes into the reverse side of the gun mount. Green stuff and glue magnets into the drill holes. There you have it one cheap(er) Leman Russ Annihilator turret.

Done. For the Emperor!Done. For the Emperor!
