Did someone order Plasma?
Fund Raiser - Helping a friend with funding for a Wedding!
This post is part of the current Fund Raiser where a friend has given me an offer to buy a collection of Warhammer models, the money will go to putting down deposits for his wedding arrangements.
After that I have two other hobby debts to sort out.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
The total remaining is $530 (R10,000 ZAR).
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Also this has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
595 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #224, I am 371 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
January 2025 we are expecting Astra Militarum and Aeldari codexes as explained Here, so time to focus on THOSE Datasheets!
Astra Militarum, Leman Russ Executioner
10th Edition Index
Another Leman Russ variant. This one has a lot of Plasma.
Not plasma pistols, or Plasma guns... It has Plasma Cannons... those are its small guns! Then there is the Executioner Plasma Cannon which is the super version of the Plasma Cannon.
This one is 170pts to field and like all the variants, costs $70 because it is all one kit!
Let's check its stats.
Stats
Movement 10"
Toughness 11
Save 2+ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 13
Ld 7+
OC 3
Weapons
This tank is armed with a Executioner Plasma Cannon and a Hull-mounted Lascannon.
It has the exact same options as the Battle Tank and the Leman Russ Demolisher so I will copy in those weapons.
The Lascannon can be replaced by a Heavy Bolter or Heavy Flamer
The tank can also have the following sponsons, sponsons are 2x of these weapons:
- 2 Heavy Bolters
- 2 Heavy Flamers
- 2 Multi Meltas
- 2 Plasma Cannons
It can also be give one of the following:
- 1 Heavy Stubber
- 1 Storm Bolter
And lastly, it can be equipped with a Hunter-Killer Missile.

Multi Melta
18" Range, 2 Shots, Hitting on 4+, S9, AP-4 and D6 Damage each.
Melta 2 (Add 2 damage if the target is within half range of 9")
Plasma Cannon - Standard firing option

Blast (Add +1 Attack for every 5 models in the enemy unit rounding down)
Plasma Cannon - Overcharged firing option

Blast (Add +1 Attack for every 5 models in the enemy unit rounding down)
Hazardous (Roll a die after using this weapon, 2 rolls are needed as there are 2 cannons. On a roll of 1 the tank takes 3 Mortal Wounds)
Heavy Stubber
36" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 4+, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Rapid Fire 3 (This weapon gets 3 additional attacks at half range of 18")
Storm Bolter
12" Range, 2 Shots, Hitting on 4+, S4 AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Rapid Fire 2 (This weapon gets 2 additional attacks at half range of 12")
Hunter Killer Missile
48" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 4+, S14 AP-3 and D6 Damage each.
One Shot (This weapon can only be fired once per game)
Melee Weapons
Armoured Tracks
6 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S7, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Abilities
Deadly Demise D3 - When this vehicle dies, roll a die, on a 6 it blows up dealing D3 mortal wounds to every unit within 6".
Gung-Ho Executioners
Each time this vehicle fires with its Executioner Plasma Cannon and it targets a unit below half strength, add 1 to the to Hit roll!
Thoughts
The Executioner is a BEAST, even on the non-overcharged version, Damage 2 sees the killing of Space Marines on each wound scored. AP-2 if the Marines are in the open go down to 5+ saves.
If you want to be gun-ho as the rules imply, then mount 2x Plasma Cannons to it, any Hull Mounted gun you want and fire away with overcharged guns and rip things apart!
The new numbers look great.
That makes 43 Astra Militarum Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 70.49% Completed. The total Completed is 24.45% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
