I have unpinned it, to let it drift away. (Of course, now people will post in it and it will stick around!)

Hey guys I'm placing an order at forgeworld and was trying to decide on the composition of my superheavy tank company.
What would you chose Shadowswords or Baneblades.
Just wanted to hear your thoughts.
Thanks

Both, they complement each other and work together ... I've used them together often in the past ...

If you regularly fight against enemy war engines, then I'd take the shadowswords. If not, maybe the baneblades, although they are really just a big leman russ.

I agree, you should have an OPTION to take both. If you are facing a warmachine heavy army, then take Shadowswords, otherwise Baneblades. You might be better mixing them, with a formation of 2 Baneblades and one Shadowsword.
Cheers
Chris

Why not splash out and get a pack of each?
-At ?6 each they were actually cheaper than the E40k metals last time they were on sale, so I'd get some quick before prices go up without warning...

Yeah, I concur with the statements above. If you are facing large numbers of war engines, or even units with high armor values, ie, the 'nids, take Shadowswords. Otherwise, the Baneblades are a nice complement to a Leman Reuss detachment.
