Like all Volkite Weapons it produces a deflagrating attack, in which subsonic combustion caused by a beam of thermal energy is propagated through the target by thermodynamic heat transfer, so that hot burning material heats the next layer of cold substrate and ignites it. The Leman Russ Incinerator mounted a terrifying twin-linked Volkite Demi-Culverin, a powerful weapon from the Age of Technology that could tear through infantry squads with ease.

The rare Leman Russ Incinerator was one of the rarest and most devastating variants of Leman Russ battle tank accessible to the regiments of the Imperial Army during Mankind's conquest of the galaxy. Their main weapons were comparatively short-ranged in relation to the artillery batteries, but they were used in a direct assault role or in close support of the infantry Tercios. They lacked the speed of the Leman Russ strike squadrons but were formidably durable. Leman Russ assault squadrons consisted of heavily armoured variants of the Solar Pattern - re-configured for direct assault against fortified enemies. These combined to increase the tanks' speed and operational range substantially. Leman Russ tanks in Solar Auxilia strike squadrons were fitted with extended fuel reserves and their engines enhanced with forced induction chargers. Numerous sub-patterns mounted a wide array of weapons in service of the elite armoured formations of the Solar Auxilia, and were often enhanced to the 'Solar Pattern,' fitted with supplementary survival and exploration systems. Amongst the forces of the nascent Imperium that utilised the resilient and ubiquitous battle tank was the elite Solar Auxilia. The Leman Russ proved to be a reliable and proven armoured vehicle named after the primarch of the Space Wolves Space Marine Legion, Leman Russ, in honour of his savage ferocity in war.

The Leman Russ main battle tank was first developed some time during the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium.
