Has anyone tried to write some stats for the old IG stormhammer? i know there are some offical stats in the E:A rulebook (although no point cost), but they simply seem to weak for me: the old Stormhammer  of SM was the ultimate close-firing killing machine, with all those bolters and cannons, and it's enormous CAF. Now it's an almost useless piece of junk, as it can only inflict 6 hits (provided you have a lot of luck), and only at a range of 30 cm, which generally means that the enemy will be in a position to launch an assault against it, so the tank will have to go with that 6+ CC value... i think they are ridicully powerless if compared with the Baneblades and Shadowswords.

Any ideas?

For simplicity we are going to use the Storm Hammer and all Baneblade varients as Baneblades ...    And Shadowsword/Stormblade varients as Shadowswords ... Between all the G/W and F/W models it only makes sense to us ...   But I'm glad they put the all the stats in the back of the rules.   I like options !  :;):

The Stormhammer should have higher Firefight value as well as more heavy bolters. In SM2 it had, IIRC, 14 (!) bolters so 8 or so Heavy Bolters wouldn't be an overstatement.

Also, it should have two twin Conqueror cannons rather than demolisher cannons, as the Conqueror cannon is essentially a shortened battle cannon and that's what the Stormhammer had in SM2. The stats of the cannon are in the profile of Leman Russ conqueror.
