{{cite}}The '''Leman Russ Vanquisher''' is a rare and specialised variant of the [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]] used by the [[Imperial Guard]]. It mounts the significantly more powerful [[Vanquisher cannon]], firing special Vanquisher shells which are extremely effective at penetrating armour even at great ranges, and is a favourite among tank company commanders.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}

The Vanquisher was mainly primarily built on the [[Forge World]] [[Tigrus]] until it was overrun by the [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Warlord]] [[Arrgard the Defiler]] in [[M35]], resulting in the number of remaining Vanquishers reserved only for experienced tank crews. Since then With the numbers loss of Vanquishers have been dropping Tigrus the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] made strenuous efforts to reproduce the tank's specialised cannon, selecting a number of Forge Worlds known for their craftsmanship and no one can replace them easilydevotion to the [[Machine God]] to spearhead the effort. Few current While the process was slow and with limited success two Forge Worlds - [[Gryphonne IV]] and [[Stygies VIII]] - have succeeded in producing their own version of the Vanquisher with while several other worlds continue their own designswork. Two that are known to have succeeded are [[A small but increasing number of Vanquishers produced by Gryphonne IV]] (Later turned into a and Stygies VIII have been used to equipped [[Dead WorldImperial Guard]] by [[Hive Fleet Leviathanregiment]]) s, however both jealously guard their secrets and [[Stygies VIII]]have not allowed any comparative tests to take place.{{Fn|1a}}

==The 41st MillenniumTechnical Information==The centerpiece of the tank is its [[Vanquisher is beginning to make Cannon]], a comeback among Imperial forces. The good modified cannon with superior range, accuracy, long range and high ratio of first-hit kill makes it ratio.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}} Both worlds produce a choice anti-cannon able to achieve these effects, albeit through different methods, and the tank weapon by many has achieved a fearsome reputation among the Imperial commandersGuard and its enemies. {{Fn|1a}} Such The Vanquisher is the power of the gun and the ammunition it uses, there is no known armour which cannot be penetrated by a Vanquisher, including that of also equipped with advanced [[Titansauspex]]. ==Forge World Variations==*sensors including threat detectors, terrain finder{{Fn|4a}} and motion sensors,{{Fn|4b}} along with [[Gryphonne IVTargeter]] gear including range- huge length of barrel for shell velocity*finders.{{Fn|1b}} Many are fitted with co-axial [[Stygies VIIIStorm Bolter]] - Smaller calibre shell with no rifling, also better gun stabilising and recoil dampning, although only s while other secondary weapons come in the accuracy form of the first shot is improved due to the smoothboring and high speeds but does not aid later shots ==Armaments and Upgrades==The Vanquisher is armed with a turrethull-mounted Vanquisher cannon and a co-axial [[Storm bolterHeavy Bolter]] and one hull-mounted weapon of either a , [[LascannonHeavy Flamer]] or [[Heavy BolterLascannon]].
