Brother Glacius Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well fudge, I was going to ask which is a good all around baneblade variant to build...but alas, after looking at the kit I got, it can only make the hell hammer and the bane blade. 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted October 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yeah, unfortunately I am missing the pieces for the "assault gun" chassis. So all I have are the "turret" chassis bits. So baneblade or hell hammer. Also, GW now allows those things to have four sponsons..which require another upgrade sprue $25. Not sure if I'll bother with that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Either tank is a tremendous points sink, but if you can only have one, go for the Baneblade. The Hellhammer is very short ranged (36”) with its main gun and the longer ranged weapons (lascannons and hunter-killer missile) only go out to 48” and aren’t much of the threat to the things you want a super-heavy tank to be dealing with. Neither the Baneblade or the Hellhammer is a reliable “Titan Killer,” although they can be pressed into the role if needs must. Where they shine is dealing with Knights, Greater Dæmons, and heavy tanks (e.g., anything that used to be AV14). The longer range of the Baneblade main gun (72”) often lets it hit those targets from further away than they can retaliate. Sponsons usually aren’t worth it, certainly not two sets of them.

Eh, I find the extremely stubby main gun to be a little silly looking on such a massive chassis and turret... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
