Special Rules
Vanquisher Battle Cannon: The Vanquisher has a longer, more powerful, version of the standard Leman Russ battle cannon. It has the following profile.
| Vanquisher Cannon | Range | Str | AP | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 96" | 8 | 3 | Ordnance Blast |
Vanquisher Anti-Tank shells: This cannon can fire special Anti-Tank (AT) shells that can smash through the thickest of armour. Declare that you will fire an AT shell before you fire the cannon. AT shells have a range of 96" and a Strength of 8. Don't use the Ordnance blast template. Instead, roll to hit using the crew's BS. If a hit is scored, roll 2D6 for Armour Penetration and add the scores together.
Veterans: The crew may be upgraded to Veteran status at a cost of +20 pts. A Veteran crew has one Battle Honour which is rolled for at the start of each battle from the Vehicle Battle Honours table in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
