===Construction, naming and modifications===
[[File:Metalfab 36 Concept.jpg|Section of a Leman Russ manufactorum|right|thumb]]
The In the [[manufactorum]]s of an [[Industrial World]], ceaseless production lines produce thousands of Leman Russ tanks as well as [[Chimera]]s every day.{{Fn|2d}} For example, the world of [[Armageddon]] alone manufactures ten million new Battle Tanks per year.{{Fn|45}} In addition, 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. After finishing the assembly process, the newly constructed tanks are transported in batches of 10,000 units by servitor-driven [[train]]s to star 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 a particular battle or triumph but simply by a scrap of concept-code run by an old [[cogitator]].{{Fn|38}}
====Mars-Solar Pattern====

The Mars-Solar Pattern Leman Russ (often simply referred to as the '''Solar Pattern Leman Russ''') was commonly fielded by the [[Solar Auxilia]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. It was fully sealed against the vacuum of space and hostile environments, possessing radiological shielding and life support systems.{{Fn|42}} Furthermore, the Mars-Solar Pattern Leman Russ was both faster and more sophisticated than its more common counterparts.{{Fn|44a}}
Solar Pattern Leman Russ Tanks came in two primary variants:{{Fn|43}}
[[File:RyzaLemanRuss.jpg|[[Ryza]] Pattern Leman Russ{{Fn|21}}|right|thumb]]
The '''[[Ryza]]-Pattern''' is nearly as common as the Mars pattern.{{Fn|34}}
====Solar-Ryza-pattern====
The '''Solar-Ryza-pattern''' was used by the [[Solar Auxilia]]. Manufactured on Ryza, it was enhanced to Solar specification by mounting a vast array of equipment to operate in the most hazardous of planetary environments.{{Fn|44b}}
