I do not remember if Duz.Holger (or a closed pseudo) made some profiles for his DKOK list.

Else, something close to standard SHT:


move: 10cm
save: 2+
CAF: +5
side sponsos: PD(2) or PD(4)
front dual guns: 1x 50cm/1/5+/-2 or 2x50cm/1/5+/-1

for turrets:
- twice vanquisher cannons (should the most expensive variant)
- dual stubbers: 2*50cm/4+/-1 (or -2) (or just find the malcador profile and double the turret weapon)
- dual heavy bolters: 25cm/8/5+/0 ?

For the cost, less expensive than SHT, more expensive than malcadors. I don't have the time to check where we place the malcador profiles :|

Sounds nice to me
especially the weapon stats are fine
though the super hevay makes the heavy stubber variant a cheap baneblade
maybe just remove the super heavy from all three variants
and keep the point costs as they are

If they are no super havy tanks there could be a CO. with 10 tanks
1 det.(3 tanks) of each variant+ anyone command macharius tank
for hmm 1300 points?

If SHT is removed, they would be the same class than malcadors...And with the size of the minis, being SHT seems logical.

Yes, Macharius could become a cheap Baneblade but it's Caf is worse, less armor, far less PD. Imho, it's the Baneblade that have a problem, not the Macharius. Baneblade should have a front demolisher weapon in its profile but that's another debate ;)

I looked through the FW range and you are right
the Macharius is more a SH tank

Some good points here
yes the baneblade is a bit underpowered ;D

I've never taken Baneblades, if I want to dig in and hold an objective I use Stormhammers, if I want to take out titans or super heavy tanks then its all about the Shadow Sword.

Baneblades battlecannon can be usefull when all your standard AA is broken/destroyed but the tank suffers its polyvalence: not good in a particular compartment.

I like Baneblades, the models
but netepic is right compared to all other Sh tanks they are underpowered

Replace one Battlecannon with a 75cm Demolisher cannon hitting at 4+ and having a TSM -3 ignoring Cover
there you have your usefull Baneblade ;D

Re: Baneblade, Demolisher variant

The Points Formula values for that are:

Company: 344
Support: 180

Standard Baneblade is:

Company: 330
Support: 173

Thus their values are vary similar, though not quite identical. For NetEpic Gold or 2nd edition values, they would probably be the same.
