Just curious, but wouldn't the House Rules sub-forum have been more appropriate? You'd likely get more responses there.

my mistake sorry about that, I will post it there

Actually, I think you'd get more replies here.  I'll reply there too, might as well.

I think the stats are good overall.  The Armor I think is up to par on the front, struct integrity seems normal.  However, I don't know about the Reliable special rule.  I tink Rhinos are really the only reliable ones out there, and that's because they are really easy to fix.

I think the tactical speed and crusing speed can be lowered, and interchanged with somethign that dioesn't give them a minus to their ballistic skill while firing, and allowing heavy weapons to be fired on the move.

I do question about the anihilator cannon on the top, as I don't know if there is a usual variant that does that in the turret.   I think heavy flamer should be allowed as hull mounted too.

I agree about removing the reliable special.  The Rhino gets it because in TT the rhino can repair its imobilisation.  But it is the only vehicle that does so.  The Leman Russ may be rugged but battlefield repairs on the fly might be too much.

According to Imperial Armour the max speed on road is 35.  In TT they are lumbering behemoths (literally the name of one of their rules)

I guess tactical speed to be around 10 then.

The Executioner and Destroyer are rare variants and wouldn't be seen very often.

I would make executioner Plasma Cannon Heavy 200m S/3/– 2d10+11 E Pene 10 Blast (1), Volatile.  And can be fired on maximal.

Like a Plasma Cannon but further range (maybe 225m) and can fire up to 3 shots like in TT.

Their is no need to change the damage or make it blast 3.

If all 3 shots hit that would already be 3x blast 3 on maximal, so 9 hits against a horde.

Oh wow thanks for the responses. Yeah I guess it can be lowerd in terms of the speed but I stand by the executioner's weapon as it is, it is a full tank sized gun.
