In the tabletop wargame of Warhammer 40,000, Leman Russ is the name of the Primarch of the Space Wolves, as well as a tank named after him.

The Leman Russ battle tank is often considered one of the mightiest battle tanks in the universe. With its turret-mounted Battle Cannon and three Heavy Bolters, it is more than capable of mowing down troops, vehicles and buildings alike. Its armour is near impeneterable, almost as strong as that of the Land Raider. However, this mighty tank is also feared in the Imperium, as both traitors in The Lost and the Damned and the foul Orks have captured many of these mighty war engines and modified them for their own purposes.
