Changes

The Leman Russ can be constructed on automated [[Forge World]] assembly lines that are powered by fusion reactors, moving along on conveyor belts while pneumatic hammers shape plates into armour. The whole process is supported by [[servitor]]s and overseen by [[tech-priest]]s. If necessary, due to enemy invasion forcing the servitors to be conscripted, the assembly process can be manually finished by the tech-priests. After finishing the assembly process, the newly constructed tanks are transported in batches of 10,000 units by servitor-driven [[train]]s to star´portsstar ports, where they are transferred off-world by [[Transport Ship|bulk haulers]]. If necessary, for example due to enemy invasion forcing the servitors to be conscripted, the assembly process can be manually finished by the tech-priests.{{Fn|38}}

On Forge Worlds, every Leman Russ is named by an automated process, generating a designation not based upon the name of a historical person, machine particular battle or creature triumph but simply by a scrap of concept-code run by an old [[cogitator]].{{Fn|38}}

Already during the construction process, tiny flaws, errors of manufacture and minuscule modifications will be incorporated into the tank's design over time. Later, in Guard service, a Leman Russ will be modified by its crew in dozens of tiny, different but essential ways, at least until the tank is returned to a Mechanicus facility for refit, where most of the modifications will be reverted unless overlooked.{{Fn|38}}
