Here is my Destroyer Tank Hunter that I made out of an old looted leman russ from my ork army that never really got off the ground.I made the barrel out of the leftover hell hammer cannon from my baneblade and the barrel from the leeman russ for the main gun also I used some green stuff for the power cables. It will also work with other 28-32mm scale tanks with a little work. In the video below I do an in-depth review of all the kit components, walk you through how to clean up all the parts and a step by step guide on how to install the Internal Sponson Conversion Kit into the Leman Russ Battle Tank.

Leman Russ Conqueror
The Leman Russ Conqueror is a less common variant of the Leman Russ Battle Tank. It is armed with a Conqueror cannon, a shorter and lighter version of the Battle Cannon. This reduces the power and range of the weapon but allows it to move faster and fire more accurately, making it a very versatile variant.[1a]
History
The Conqueror was first created on Gryphonne IV when its plans were rediscovered sometime in the 38th millennium. Now the plans reside with Mars and several other Forge Worlds are trying to get an approved access. Originally, battlefield commanders voiced concerns that the smaller cannon would reduce the available firepower and result in poor battlefield performance. During field testing however it was shown that the reduced recoil of the gun made up for its reduced power with improved accuracy while firing on the move. The smaller shell size also allowed loaders to fire faster and carry more ammunition than the standard Leman Russ Battle Tank.[1a]
The entire first batch of Conquerors produced was assigned to the Gryphonne IV Skitarii forces for the Castra Campaign, where they operated alongside a battle group of the War GriffonsTitans. During the campaign the Conquerors proved they could easily keep pace with the Titans as they encircled and trapped the besiegers of HiveCastra Septus, annihilating the traitors within the pocket[1a] and collapsing the hive in the process.[3a] Following this success production of the Conqueror increased and was exported to the Imperial Guard, where it has become popular among tank crews and unofficially known as a 'breakthrough' tank. Currently only Gryphonne IV produces the Conqueror in significant numbers, though the plans also reside with Mars where a Mars Alpha pattern is also produced, and a number of other Forge Worlds have petitioned for access to the blue-prints.[1a]
At some time during the 39th millennium, special munitions were created on Gryphonne IV by the munitions adepts, who were trying to increase the tank's firepower with the use of 'Auger' (or Augur)[3c] Nissan data scan 1.63 crack. shells.

The warhead of such a shell consist of a soft explosive in a thin shell that is designed to break open on impact, spreading the explosive over the surface of the specific target during the microsecond before the base-mounted fuse detonates it.

This is liable to kill or wound any occupants, and can disable instruments and controls, because of breaking off the interior layers of the target and ricochets around inside a vehicle.[3c] However after seeing the limited size of use on a battlefield, these type of shells was considered a failure by many and production of these shells is no longer permitted.[1a][3c]
Technical Specifications
With its quality torsion bar suspension system and high power-to-weight ratio the Conqueror is considered an excellent cavalry tank, able to outmaneuver and overwhelm the enemy with mobile firepower.[2c] As with other Leman Russ tanks the Conqueror is fitted with Targeter and Auspex gear including a laser rangefinder, landscape reader and crosswind sensor.[2b] The turret has been modified with additional armour plates riveted to the forward sides, along with improved air-intakes and venting, sealed against environmental hazards with valves and mufflers, allowing it to operate in harsh terrains.

The turret also features a Searchlight and an armoured ammunition access hatch in the rear for faster re-arming and quicker disposal of spent shells without having to exit the vehicle.[1a]
Next to the Conqueror cannon in the turret is a co-axial Storm Bolter, removing the need for pintle-mounted weapons (although the tank can still be outfitted to carry one, either a second Storm Bolter or Heavy Stubber. A hull-mounted Heavy Bolter or Lascannon also come standard, while the option sponson mounts can be fitted with Heavy Bolters or Heavy Flamers. Other common additions include Camo Netting, Extra Armour, a Hunter-Killer Missile, Improved Comms, a Mine Sweeper, Rough Terrain Modification, Track Guards and/or Smoke Launchers.[1d]

If you decided that you don't want to add side sponsons you are actually finished with the conversion, only thing left to do is add the Chimera side pieces and tracks on as normal and to complete the tank with all the rest of the various Chimera and Leman Russ parts. However if you have decided that you do wish to have side sponsons on your Fortis Binary pattern Leman Russ I will do my best to explain how to do so.As mentioned earlier in part 1, the older and newer Chimera kits comes with completely different pieces for the side track parts. It is better to simply show you the difference. As you can see the newer kits the out side piece is molded into one piece, where as the older kit was made up of three different pieces. I used the fact that the older kit was made like this to my advantage since it will be easier to trim away the small raised rectangle than to have to completely remove the case cover.
Step 1 | Step 2
![Russ Russ](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/9b/8d/fa9b8d126bf39e1f77f3c39659db2a99.jpg)
We will start with the main set of parts that needs to be modified, the two outer side pieces and the two side covers.
The side pieces has a rasied rectangle that the hatch cover would attach to, this is where we are going to be putting our side sponsons so we need to shave this rectangle down flush with the surrounding area. You can use sandpaper, a dremel, or a Xacto knife. I used the small Xacto chisel blade to shave this down, take your time with this and you don't want to go too deep into the plastic just flush with the surface, be careful not to damage any of the surrounding details.
The next thing we need to do is modify the side covers so the side sponsons will have room to attach and have enough clearance. Take either your hobby knife or razor saw and cut at the seam as shown in the pictures. Clean the cut areas with sandpaper and set aside for now.
At this time go ahead and assemble your side sponsons as normal following the instructions from Games Workshop. Once completed you will notice that the side covers are too think to allow full range of travel for the sponsons weapons. We will need to thin the covers down to gain clearance for the weapons.
Leman Russ Model
I cut mine so that they were just under 1/8' thick, use your sponson assembly as a guide to ensure you are going to have enough clearance to have full range of motion from the weapon rotating in the sponson. An easy way to uniform cuts on your covers is to lay your blade on something that is as thick as you want your covers to be and have the covers faced down when you draw your blade across the sides.
Once your scored your lines, take a fresh knife blade and follow the scored lines, work around the pieces until you cut the excess free from the covers.
Leman Russ Variants
Now to test fit the side sponsons and the covers to our outer side pieces. You may want to remove the rivets that interfere with the top edge of the sponson to close the gap they cause between the sponsons and the side pieces. This goes for the top front rivet that will cause a gap between the sponsons and the side covers.That completes the tutorial, finish the tank by applying the rest of the parts as normal following the insturctions. Add your wheels that act as spacers and attach the track pieces. I skipped several of the wheels to use them later for other projects, I used bits of sprue to help glue the tracks to the tank.
