I was a bit dissapointed that we didnt have even a Leman Russ in Into the Storm - most vehicles seemed more transport based which is fine for some of the Rogue Trader Concepts (the merchant captain) but less so for other ones (like the exiled general or militant Ecclesiarch) who probably want to tool around their planetary invasion in their Leman Russ, Baneblade or Leviathan command vehicle.
When will we see the rest of the vehicles?

I'd guess most of the vehicles you are looking for will be included in the DH sourcebook "Only War...", which is supposed to be available Fall 2011 (see Knowledge is Power on the DH support page)
Quote from the description:
Commissars shout over the boom of battle cannons
as those under their command give their lives so that
humanity might survive.
Within these pages, you will find expanded rules
for Imperial Guardsmen, vehicles, and systems for
campaigns surrounding the Imperial Guard!
According to the Rogue Trader rulebook fluff, RTs may have entire Imperial Guard regiments loaned to them and placed under their house banner. I would assume that armored regiments with Leman Russ tanks could be included. Guess we'll wait for the IG supplement then.
Or you could stat them up yourself, and put them online to help other people?
The "almost official" PDF supplement for vehicles in Dark Heresy offers good rules to create your own vehicles.
*sigh* I wish I had the new vehical rules atm. However, fi you want tanks under the old rules, I posted rules for ..um... almost every Leman russ varient and some FW tanks in this very forum. And I think it's something like the last thread on this page, maybe the first on page 2.
Admittedly, they are, it must be pointed out, under the old rules.

Can you provide a link to this almost official resource?

Perhaps we can finally play a Commissar when this comes out. That would be nice, after all they're well educated and if you have a SoB around why no a Commissar?

Don't know that this is a good place to DL it from, but you can find a copy here . I thought Dark Reign had been hosting a copy, too. File size should be about 15.6Mb. Or, I do have a copy from when it was still Black Industries baby. I could shoot you a copy if you would like. Just let me know.

Got it! - Thanks for the link. - Found it hosted on a link in RPG.net forums.

I'm hoping the new mechanics offer enough similarities to easily convert vehicles form the Apocrypha without too much hassle.

No, but it wouldn't be hard at all to make a vehicle just by looking at how the sample ones are stated up.
@Brother Praetus: I don't think it'll be too hard, but a lot of the Apocrpha vehicles are already stated up, and there are a few fundamental differences between the two systems.
