You forget one thing:


The Force Commander at that point has a power sword, not a Daemonhammer.

So that itty bitty Force Commander stun the Eldar Avatar? I guess use of orbital strikes could do it though.

Btw, in single player the Leman Russ tanks have a lot less HP than predators, is this... "realistic"?

From what I gather, Predators are light tanks while the Leman Russ is an MBT. So no.

A Leman Russ will roll right over a Predator Destructor. A Predator Annihilator comes packing three lascannons (one of which is twin-linked) however and despite its inferior survivability it packs more antitank capability. The Leman Russ has one lascannon by default, and its battlecannon fires some type of all-purpose munition, but it lacks the punch of a lascannon.

The point was that the predator had like 4600 hp and the Russ had 2k, serious difference.. esp. when I thought the Russ was the top dog, how is the Russ compared to Das Uber Tank... err the baneblade

A Baneblade counts as a Titan for all intents and purposes. A Leman Russ is just a "Vehicle." No contest.

So... how many brightlances will I need this time?

....... I thought the Leman Russ had like almost 5000 HP.


At least the Orks' Looted version does, which is almost the same as the normal one so I would assume they have nearly the same HP.


And you will need as many brightlances as you can afford to lose.

In all fairness, Orky chaos manipulation can explain the difference. They BELIEVE it's armored all to hell, so it ends up being so. Annoying, and one of the parts I don't like about 40k, but it fits theme.

In the two levels I've played where you get them, they only have 2000 hp, maybe difficulty affects their hp?

No, it's 2000 regardless of difficulty. They just didn't want the Guard to have the massive armor advantage it's supposed to. In proportional power to Predators, the six Leman Russ tanks in the four relics mission would kick ass and take names.

In other news, this site has my stats on correctly (when I search for them), which mystifies me a bit more. Oh, and they have those interactive banner things.
