C/C you may have to do what I do with F/W. Buy a pack of each, keep what you want and sell your extras here at cost + postage. I've done it many times before. It's the only way to go. And there are other guys out there like us who don't want 3 of everything !

Hi!
I consider the baneblade to be the "staple" super heavy tank, with the shadow sword as a heavy support tank. I usually get them in a proportion or 2 to 1 in favor of the baneblades.

Primarch, that is also the way I thought about them. I have two companies of 3 baneblades, and 4 shadowswords which usually get fielded individually.

Hi!
I field them like that usually too Markconz, a company of baneblades with shadow swords (or the other heavies for that matter) as support.
I think they only other super heavies I have actually fielded like a company of stormblades in an anti-titan role.

I use them in both separate and mixed dets. Especially, with all the variations ... Stormblade, Stormsword, etc., etc. ...

Hi!
The baneblade was the first super heavy wasn't it? Or was it released with the shadow swords?

Yes, IIRC, they were first released at about the same time, back with SM1 a long, a long time ago ...

Lucky dog! I wish I had some more. And Commissar, whatever you do just remember: "There's no such thing as too many superheavy tanks!"

Especially in Epic:A, since they have a much higher survival rate than in Epic 40k. Sigh. All my pretty tanks burning...what sad memories.

I know a "Cpt. Krueger" said that during the E40K "period" ... , it's in a W/D somewhere ! With SM1 the Baneblade Mk.1 and Shadowsword Mk.1 were released. With SM2, the Stormhammer and Stormblade, respectively. Then E40K the B/B Mk.2 and S/S Mk.2, plus F/W released 2 versions of the B/B Mk.3, and one S/S Mk.3 as well as the Stormblade Mk.2 and Stormsword Mk.1 ... confused yet !  I have anywhere between 1-3 of each of the AFVs in my IG Rgts. They are heavy AFVs, so are fewer compared to the L/Russ MBTs.

Hi!
Super heavy survivability in net epic is "scaleable". You can either use short concise rules to make them more resilient or full fledged damage tables for maximum ruggedness.

Okay, I know its all gold as far as material is concerned, but 17 pinned topics is a bit much
Its a pain to scroll down to the bottom of the page before we actually see new posts.
