Uprising Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 One of the guys at the club have made great use of his baneblade because he bubble wraps it with 150+ conscripts. Good luck trying to get into melta gun range with that much chaff :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300836-baneblades-any-good/page/2/#findComment-3906847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That is some dedication... too much really!

march10k Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Personally, I am not a fan. While the model is great and makes for a great tank to get out now and again, it's performance is lack-luster in my eyes. Well, its offensive capabilities are fine, however I do not really like investing 500 points in a unit that can be deleted by a single alpha strike consisting of angry combi-melta men and even angrier centurions, all arriving in angry drop pods. Now, if you can cast Invisibility on it with a rather high reliability, then we can talk. However, only Sevrin Loth and Tigurius are capable of doing that. Not bloody likely. How often do you face the melta-pods of doom army? It seems like those armies would stink on ice against massed infantry, so they wouldn't be common at all. Anyway, there's a fantastic fix for that. Park your superheavy on top of a skyshield. Now standard meltaguns can't get within 6" without losing LOS, and any shots that do get off are mitigated by a 4++. I really like my shadowsword in spite of it objectively being too many points in a single model to make sense in an 1850 game...but 5 TLHB, 4 LC, and a D weapon, all of them independently targetable and immune from "Weapon Destroyed" results is nothing to sneeze at. I'm 2-0-1 in games involving the beast...and the draw was the sweetest of all...see, I had three models left at the end of the game while my opponent had lost virtually nothing...the shadowsword blew apart cataclysmically on the bottom of turn five, killing my opponent's relic bearer, whereupon the game promptly ended, denying his hordes of daemons the opportunity to pick it back up He had linebreaker to my first blood, 1-1 draw in a game in which I was absolutely slaughtered!!!
