Hooj Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I am thinking about getting one of Baneblade variants for my Mechanicum army and wonder which is best and whats your overall opinion on them be it in Legion or Mechanicum army etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355330-which-super-heavy-tanks-do-you-run/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Im finishing up the transport mega bolter baneblade variant. It has hover pads instead of treads, but that doesn't actually affect gameplay. The rules are nice. Half of your transported models can shoot out, the gun can double shoot to munch on infantry, you can put multiple units in, and it receives hits like a tank but disembark like an open-topped vehicle.

STC Logisengine Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I also run a Stormlord, the massive transport volume, counts as opentopped for embarking/disembarking (assault vehicle!) and the mega-bolter makes it very useful. Load the thing up to the brim with infantry, shove it down the board to a commanding position and then just sit tight and shoot twice per turn with the Vulcan while 45 infantry models makes your opponents day miserable.

Pacific81 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm just finishing painting up a Fellblade (although in Epic scale). Have absolutely no idea how effective it will be on the battlefield - my main motivations were that it looks extremely cool, something different to what we know from the 40k setting, and it was going cheap on eBay!

ShadowCore67 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Fellblade has always performed well for me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355330-which-super-heavy-tanks-do-you-run/#findComment-5299041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have a Glaive. It's brutal against most things that aren't superheavy vehicles.

Raktra Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The Glaive is my one true love when I'm not running Ferrus. Hell it was seeing that in Ih colour on the FW site that made me start Heresy.

Gorgoff Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Stormsword. Awesome tank and a brutal killing machine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355330-which-super-heavy-tanks-do-you-run/#findComment-5299566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Not yet. Tho i plan to get a pair of spartans. One for my Black templars and one to be abaddon's pimpmobile. Both 4pk armies, but I'll use botharmies in 30k too since that community is strong here aswell... But spartans are only LOW in 40k. Not sure what should get that islegit Superheavy and 40k/30k compatible. Baimblade variants? Sicarans?

Hooj Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 I also have Spartan in 40k for my Templars and he is really good, but also expensive. Is Stormsword good? How does it do againts other super-heavies? I am torn between stormsword and shadowsword.

mechadryad Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I have 2 Typhons and a Glaive. The Typhons do well and in game where I can get both in they're great mob control, the threat makes primarchs stay in their METAL BOX The Glaive is so much fun to run though, I was told it sucked and then proceeded to outflank with it and gouge out a large chunk of my opponent's army. I sometimes it can just come down to what you're playing.

Brofist Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The Stormsword is a 'less optimal' Typhon- you use it for taking out large parts of the other guy's regular army. It's not really designed to take on super heavies or concentrations of them. If your meta has lots of SH tanks you want something else.

LtDan Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Brofist is that a big Mama cannon?

Brofist Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yep, that's the one. I have two that I turned into vindicators, but this third one just looks so good on a baneblande Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355330-which-super-heavy-tanks-do-you-run/#findComment-5300243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooj Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Unfortunately i play Mechanicum so no Typhon for me, but he really sounds good.
