He wanted a suitably russian-looking tank, for what was essentially a Tzar royal guard IG faction. The design caught on, and it was copied over to Epic and considered the Lemun Russ pattern that the Vostroyans make (made).
On a side note, 40k sucks balls and has gone down hill over the past decade. Which is to be expected from a game company that fires all it's old guard writers, and hires in a new design team that obeys everything the shareholders tell them. The result is this cluttered mess of 30 different space marine armies, derpy huge shit for the sole purpose of being huge, lack of rule balance, and having to close stores because much of the once-dedicated fanbase has move on to less painfully retarded games.
