I skimmed through the army list and decided to convert three Leman Russ Exterminators using some broken Leman Russ Tanks I won on ebay: Thirdly, Forgeworld didn’t release sculpts for the Leman Russ Annihilator or Exterminator variants, although the Annihilator variant isn’t in the Minervan Armoured Legion. I realise that in a real world conflict involving armoured vehicles are all shapes and sizes but on the wargames table I like a nice coherent look if I can achieve that. Secondly, (this is going to make me sound a bit weird) I like my tank sculpts within an army to look coherent, particularly the tracks.

For example, Leman Russ Tank Destroyers for an average for £8-10 each? That’s far too pricey for me! Some of might be thinking why would I want to convert the tanks when the Forgeworld models are reasonably readily available? There are three reasons for this:įirstly, I’m not willing to pay what some of these Forgeworld tanks go for on the second hand market. Not only that but there’s a lot of scope to convert the Leman Russ variant tanks available for use with this army. The Minervan Armoured Legion is a fun project because, unsurprisingly, you get to field a wide variety of tanks. One project I’ve been working on on a very ad-hoc basis is building a Minervan Armoured Legion for as little money as I can manage while I concentrate on my main Epic projects Vraks and Krieg. Like a lot of wargamers I ‘ve got too many projects on the go and I dip in and out of them as the mood takes me.
