Overview

The heavy, high-calibre shells of the Eradicator's main cannon are capable of destroying both enemy barricades and any infantry sheltering behind them. This makes the Eradicator extremely effective in cities, jungles or other dense terrain.

The tank's design is easily replicated on dozens of Forge Worlds and the Eradicator is utilised throughout the Imperium to support infantry fighting in dense terrain.

The Leman Russ Eradicator was instrumental during the urban conflict on Khai-Zhan.

Armaments

As its main armament The Leman Russ Eradicator has a turret-mounted Eradicator Nova Cannon, which fires a special shell that ignores cover. With the same blast radius as a Demolisher cannon but a longer range, the Nova Cannon can effectively clear out buildings and hedges of enemy squads before the infantry its in support of can even fire a shot off.

The Eradicator has access to all the types of sponson armaments available to other Leman Russ variants, such as heavy bolters, heavy flamers, plasma cannons, or multi-meltas.
