For most of you the title will be a bit strange since you probably don`t know what a Leman Russ tank is, but to the people who know I`d like to make something clear; I`m not looking for a tank that can run on wood and kills hordes of green-skinned monstrosities with las-weapons and bolters.
Now, with that out of the way, how can we get a tank that looks like the Leman Russ tank to be developed, constructed and deployed at some time during the last century?
The basic idea behind its design is a WWI-style tank with a turret fitted on the top and a weapon mounted in the front of the tank, in many ways similar to the tank seen in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, which was a replica of a Mark VIII Liberty Tank with a top mounted turret.
