Astra Militarum: Baneblade

Pre order for release August 8th.

The Baneblade is more rolling fortress than vehicle – a super-heavy tank possessed of overwhelming firepower. Wherever a Baneblade is deployed, it becomes the centre of the battle line. Infantry and even smaller tanks shelter in its lee as its enormous primary cannon and numerous other guns hammer the foe into submission.

This gargantuan multipart plastic kit builds 1 super-heavy Baneblade, a thundering tank for your Astra Militarum armies in games of Warhammer 40,000. It wields a full arsenal and is capable of absorbing punishment that would annihilate a small army. If you’re looking for a linchpin around which a mighty armoured column can be built, a super-heavy tank is a fine choice that can shock your foes and soak up incredible amounts of firepower, sparing the rest of your army.

The Baneblade is armed with a mighty Baneblade cannon and coaxial autocannon on the turret, plus a demolisher cannon on the forward hull, 2 lascannons on side turrets, twin heavy bolters on a forward hull turret, 2 twin heavy flamers in sponson mounts, and a heavy stubber in a pintle mount atop the turret. The sponson flamers can be replaced with another 2 twin heavy bolters. That’s a LOT of firepower.

You’ll find loads of options in the kit, like extra stowage, additional armour plating on the treads, tow hooks, fuel, and options for gunners and tank commanders in the hatches – including a choice of different heads. You can alternatively build the tank commander on foot, armed with a bolt pistol or laspistol in one hand, and the other hand either holding a power sword or pointing.

This massive kit can alternatively build a variety of other super-heavy tanks:
– Banesword: armed with a quake cannon to punish vehicles and fortifications at extreme range
– Shadowsword: armed with a tank-destroying volcano cannon
– Doomhammer: armed with a titan-slaying magma cannon and troop-carrying capacity
– Stormsword: armed with a bunker-busting Stormsword siege cannon
– Banehammer: armed with a tremor cannon to slow down aggressive opponents
– Stormlord: armed with a Vulcan mega-bolter and a large troop-carrying capacity
– Hellhammer: armed with a Hellhammer cannon for close-quarters warfare
