This disparity is particularly amusing considering that the Leman Russ is supposed to have been developed circa 28,000 years later (Great Crusade Era) than the Churchill and in a period of time where Technological regression is only just setting in. Indeed, it wasn't even the best British design of the war - even we recognised that it was more of a 'make do and mend' sort of design. In comparison, the Second World War British Churchill tank had 152mm at it's best point (Turret Mantle) and, whilst a solid, reliable lump, it wasn't the best tank design of the all the participants in the war.

So:Ĭurrently, the Leman Russ is figured by FW to have 150mm of Hull Armour. For the most part, the mantle will be circa 50mm thicker on all of these designs, however (owing to their stupidly high silhouettes) you'd go for a hull shot 90% of the time.

Now my figures are taken to mean 'The armour at it's thickest' - which would be the path of a shot through the hull glacis sloped at circa 30 degrees or through the turret mantle. However, you can be assured that the disparity would be even greater. I'm having to compare them to Second World War tanks, because modern tanks far outclass them in terms of effective armour and speed, but due to still being in service, little information is available regarding their armour. My comparisons are made for the Leman Russ, which is the standard battle tank of the IG and the Baneblade - essentially the heavy tank to end all heavy tanks. However, if I my job description entailed sitting down and designing a model that is meant to be believably tank-like, I'd at least take the time to spare even Wikipedia a glance at how tanks are actually, well, designed. Obviously, these models are thought up by miniature sculptors - not weapons designers.
