A Super-Heavy Centerpiece for the Astra Militarum
The Baneblade is a massive armored war machine designed to support an Astra Militarum force with formidable durability and overwhelming firepower. Its enormous hull, multiple weapon mounts, and heavily armored profile make it a commanding centerpiece for an Imperial army.
Whether positioned at the center of an armored formation or used to support infantry and smaller vehicles, a Baneblade chassis creates an unmistakable presence on the Warhammer 40,000 battlefield.
Build One of Eight Super-Heavy Tanks
The multipart plastic kit contains the components needed to build one of eight different super-heavy tank configurations. Each variant uses the Baneblade chassis but features a different primary weapon system, turret arrangement, or battlefield role.
Only one complete tank can be assembled from the contents of the box, so choose your preferred configuration before permanently attaching the main weapon and variant-specific components.
Available Baneblade Configurations
- Baneblade: The iconic and versatile super-heavy battle tank configuration.
- Banehammer: An alternative configuration built around a powerful central weapon system.
- Banesword: A long-range super-heavy vehicle configuration.
- Doomhammer: A heavily armed assault vehicle based on the Baneblade chassis.
- Hellhammer: A close-support variant intended for confronting heavily protected targets.
- Shadowsword: A dedicated super-heavy tank destroyer configuration.
- Stormlord: A variant designed around a high-volume primary weapon system.
- Stormsword: A siege-oriented super-heavy tank configuration.
Full Sponson and Weapon Options
The box includes an additional sponson sprue, allowing the model to be assembled with the kit's full selection of supported sponson weapon options. This gives hobbyists greater control over the appearance and battlefield equipment of the completed tank.
The large hull also includes multiple weapon mounts, armored hatches, exhausts, track sections, and vehicle details that can be positioned and painted to match an existing Astra Militarum regiment.
Choose Your Configuration Before Assembly
The eight available builds use different main weapons, upper-hull sections, and vehicle components. Review the current Warhammer 40,000 rules and the supplied assembly guide before selecting a final build.
Experienced hobbyists may choose to keep certain weapons removable or interchangeable, but any conversion or magnetization work requires additional materials and planning that are not included with the kit.
Build Notice: This box builds one complete super-heavy tank, not eight separate vehicles. Select the Baneblade variant you intend to use before permanently attaching its main weapon and configuration-specific parts.
Product Notice: Paints, plastic glue, clippers, magnets, modeling tools, and other hobby supplies are not included unless confirmed on the final product packaging.
