Leman Russ 671
Leman Russ 671 and its crew are the most experienced crew within the 67th Harvest Wind, having proved themselves time and time again as a dependable tank crew capable of taking it to the Imperium's enemies themselves or providing fire support to advancing Imperial troops.
The first piece of armoured support that was assigned to fight alongside Valdez' Vanguard when the Von Aurach Crusade began, 671 has been praised numerous times by those it has served with, eventually event being recognised with a Ribbon Intrinsic for being critical to the Imperial forces' success
Assets
Vehicle Classification: Leman Russ Battle Tank, standard STC pattern
Armament: Battlecannon with pintle mounted heavy stubber on the turret cupola; hull-mounted lascannon; 2 sponson-mounted heavy bolters on either side.
Crew: 5
Confirmed Kills: 2 Enemy Infantry units (Tau Empire) Leman Russ 671 has been at the forefront of most of the heavier fighting the 5122nd Imperial Army has found itself in since the crusade was launched. Usually it escapes with minor damage however, during a recent encounter with the T'au on the planet Mimir, the hull suffered serious damage and it took all of the ministrations of the Enginseers and Salvors of the 44th Mickini's World Salvage Corps Regiment to repair the hull to a battle ready state.
During this repair, the Tech-priests (all techno-disciples of the Mickinian branch of the Cult Mechanicus) communed with the tanks' machine spirit and the tech-shrine onboard and, knowing the tank's spirit seeked venegance, upgraded the turret firing systems to enable the shells to be fired at greater velocity and precision to casue more damage to the T'au next time they met. Battlefield retrofits were installed by the Salvors, that would allow additional gases to vent and not blow the turret apart and, following the ritual of re-ignition beign performed, the tank was returned to service amongst the battalion
