You wouldn't be able to do rotor inertia directly with the wave table,
One would need a little bit of intelligence riding whatever modulator one 
used. You could bind the LFO frequency to the mod wheel or other controller
and push it by hand (foot).

Have a look at horgand, it's a pretty kick ass hammond emulator.
It has a leslie, reverb, rhythm section, the whole schmear.
