Scott80 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi everyone Hope this is in the right section. I've been looking to purchase a new cool big gun/toy for my 40k imperial fists. I have my eye on the forgeworld Fellblade which looks really bad ass and got the huge firepower I'm looking for. Is this the best option or is there something better out there? I don't know much about forgeworld models and super heavies so some opinions welcome please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It depends what purpose the super heavy should solve? For an IF army an Typhon Heavy Siege Tank would be very fluffy. The Fellblade is good to kill masses of infantry. The Falchion is an exellent Tank/super heavy killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott80 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 The typhon siege tank has a huge cannon but that's it really. You can add some side sponsons to help but that's up 400 points then. Where as the fellblade has 2 large guns and 4 TL lascannons plus HB. Much more fire power and 6 extra hp for about 140 points more. 540 points is a big points sink I suppose but it looks like its worth it. Still got 960 points to play with. Back it up with a couple of predator tanks with HB and AC on each flank and plenty of points left for tact squads and rhinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The Fellblade chassis is a lot larger than the typhon. The typhon is essentially a vindicator on steriods, you get one really nasty pie plate dispenser. The Fellblade is more of a classic super heavy in that it's got a lot of fire power over several guns. Both the Fellblade and the Typhon have 40k rules, found in Imperial armor vol 2, second edition, while variants like the glaive or falchion are only found for HH, which is something you need to keep in mind.

Lachdannan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If you want something a little different you could always try and make one of these http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-537_zps19aa4f2c.jpg its uses the standard Baneblade kit with extras from Blood and Skulls industries. I also have the datacard for it somewhere. If your up for it (it is a big project), but I do have my step to step progress here. Best of luck!

Dark Bjoern Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Nice Stormhammer conversion. You could also wait for the FW kit of it. FW showed it in the new HH Book 4 p.289 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogen Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Man, I gotta say I've been trying to rationalize the Typhon in my Blood Angels for quite a while. Sure its just one big gun, but its a BIG gun. Plus the armor 14 all around (as opposed to Fellblade's rear 12) is a very tough nut to crack. I actually think at its points cost, its a beast.

Kilofix Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 In a Cities Of Death board with lots of Ruins even the weakest Units are going to find lots of 4+ Cover from the Fellblade though. The Typhon doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Aye, the Typhon Dishes out 10" Pieplates of :Cuss you all over. But they're S10. The Fellblade can dish out D shots which can either do nothing or obliterate everything; but they'll still get a cover save. ...If only you could take the Glaive. Mmmmmm Volkite.

Thoqqu Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Fellblade is one nasty piece of work when it's on the opposite side of the table... especially as one can make it immune to melta (no +d6 at half range) which has been the go to answer by default when it comes to big things made out of metal.

The Fellblade's main cannon is actually less powerfull than the Dreadhammer of the Typhon (but has a clear range advantage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I thought the Glaive was superior in respect to the Falchion in tank-killing? Something about more guaranteed hits? Hell I will recommend ANY Fellblade-variant. I have a Glaive & Falchion and the models are just stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The Glaive is technically more reliable since it causes D3 S8 Ap2 Deflagrate and Haywire hits to any super heavy it hits. Anything below that is only a single S8 Ap2 Deflagrate Haywire hit under a 45" long 1" wide beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
