It can survive the worst the galaxy can throw at it, and can run on almost any liquid fuel. Far from a sophisticated vehicle, the Leman Russ was designed and built with reliability and versatility in mind. The tank is named after the Space Wolves Primarch, Leman Russ. The Leman Russ is the main battle tank of the Imperial Guard, and is also the most widely deployed tank in the Imperium.

They are still pattern regardless of where they are built. So you can have a Mars pattern hull with a Phaeton pattern turret built on Ryza with a Executioner plasma cannon. The same with the Phaeton pattern turret. A Mars pattern hull can be built somewhere other than Mars, but it's still a 'Mars Pattern' hull. I feel some people are misunderstanding the different between where it is built and the pattern used. To answer OP, I do not believe it has been stated in canon as to what pattern the new turret is. They are said to be solely produced on Ryza in the 41st Millenium. The other variants in that kit are too common to distinguish.Д®xecutioners are said to be solely produced on Ryza. So that means itвЂ™s either a relic of Tigrus or another FW that successfully replicated the Vanquisher cannon. ItвЂ™s clearly not a Gryphonne IV or Stygies VII pattern, as FW produces those Vanquishers. The standard Leman Russ kit is too hard to pinpoint. Though itвЂ™s not unreasonable for a planet to produce 2 types of turret. Even though FW (the company not planetary type) produces their own Ryza turret. So the kit with the Demolisher, Punisher, and Executioner has to be a Ryza pattern. The current Russ can be a single pattern of vehicle.Д®xecutioners are said to be solely produced on Ryza.

With the old Leman Russ kit that was possible because it only built the one variant.Д®xcept that, as has been said, it is possible. The entire point of my original post is that the current Leman Russ kits aren't a single pattern of vehicle. I'll give that to you and I apologise, but the above was my thought process. You are right, it does sound hypercritic of me. I haven't read any other named planets taking up the production of Gryphonne IV pattern vehicles after its destruction. I only mentioned that, as the destruction of Tigrus is the very reason why Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII started to build the Vanquisher in the first place. By your own logic, dead planets aren't ever worth mentioning as being dead. You literally mention another Forge World as being destroyed in your own post, despite there being an entire game system set during the time it exists.
