That last bit is a fair bit of speculation though, we really have to wait and see! Which may mean it will be moved to Legends, making its legality for games questionable depending on what context you are playing in. This may mean it is being retired and wont appear in the new rules. This is further complicated by the fact that the Annihilator has also been removed from the FW webstore. Therefore the old book is out of print, may be hard to find, and even if you can find it will likely soon be obsolete. However, GW have announced they are replacing these books with new room 'soon'. They DO have current 8e rules and point values found in the imperial armour book mentioned above. Forgeworld models had rules published by FW, and so are not found in the Astra Millitarum codex. The annihilator variant is a Forgeworld model. Only one working prototype of this variant is known to exist.' I keep meaning to do a Leman Russ Arachnos - 'Replaced the tracks with eight robotic legs. But would it be something that other folks would be interested to run? Any other tank variants not covered by the current rules that'd be interesting to model?Д«east_gts wrote: The rules are / were in 'Imperial Armour вЂ“ Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum' but that seems to have gone from the FW site, like the turret itself. Whether its efficient or not, I just want a model of this. (Speaking of which, why aren't lascannons available in sponsons anyways?) Furthermore, if I'm going to go ahead with this project and make a custom model anyways, I'm thinking of 'lasering' this tank up - twin lascannons in the turret, hull-mounted lascannon and, of course, lascannon sponsons.

Before I order some parts though, I wanted to see if anyone has gotten the predator twin lascannon barrel to fit into a recent Leman Russ turret (Not a big concern if not, as I said the Predator turret does fit one of my old Leman Russ models). However, I don't see that rules for such a tank carried over to 8th, nor apparently, did the actual model. After some website searching I found a wiki entry for the Leman Russ Annihilator tank (used primarily by Death Corps of Krieg) that did have a double lascannon turret. I was then somewhat surprised to find in the IG codex there isn't a Leman Russ with a lascannon main armament. I was looking through my model collection last night when I noticed that I had an old Leman Russ tank where the twin lascannon turret off one of my Predator models would fit the tank hull.
