Baneblade (2013 Edition)

This model can be used by every Warhammer 40,000 player in games of Apocalypse.

The biggest battle tank in the Imperial arsenal, the Baneblade is the super-heavy of choice for the discerning Imperial General. However you choose to assemble and arm it, this is the ideal centerpiece model for any Imperial Guard fan.

This model kit allows you to make one of the 8 variants of the Baneblade tank as described in the Apocalypse rulebook. So before you start it's well worth having a good look at the components and working out exactly which one you're going to create. Starting with the chassis you have the option to mount either twin-linked heavy bolters, or twin-linked heavy flamers as the sponson armaments. You can equip the turret with any one of the following main weapons: Baneblade Cannon, Tremor Cannon, Quake Cannon, Magma Cannon, Hellhammer Cannon, Volcano Cannon, Vulcan Mega-bolter, or Stormsword Siege Cannon. A Demolisher cannon is included should you decide to mount it as the secondary gun. Because, let's face it, there is no such thing as too many guns.

Aerials, artillery shells, smoke launchers, searchlights, tools, name plates, pintle-mounted heavy stubbers, and a co-axial autocannon are all available as additional modelling options. On top of this you also get 3 optional turret-mounted crew who come with a variety of heads, arms and weaponry, allowing you to make an officer, driver or gunner (of course you can always glue the turret shut should you wish). And finally, there are enough parts for you to make an Imperial Guard officer on foot as well.

This plastic kit contains 295 components (no, that isn't a typo) and can make a Baneblade, Banehammer, Banesword, Doom Hammer, Hellhammer, Shadowsword, Stormlord or Stormsword super-heavy tank. Also included is 1 Transfer Sheet which can be used to add markings and insignia.
