    Default I won a Baneblade!

    Hi all!
    I won a Baneblade in a tournament a couple months back (because Vulkan soloed a wraithknight, like a boss) but haven't been able to put it together. So my question is which of these wondrously large tanks do I build? I am currently leaning toward the Shadowsword with its D Cannon of flaming death (I play Salamanders, what do you want), but I am not entirely sure. For those of you who don't know, I can also build a regular old Baneblade, a Stormlord, a Hellhammer, a Banesword, a Stormsword, a Banehammer, or a Doomhammer.
    Any input?

    What did you actually win? It's either a 2-in-1 Baneblade/Hellhammer, or a 6-in-1 Stormrlord/Shadowsword/... kit.

    Personally, I think any of the 4 named above are good choices.

    I personally dig the one with the big gatling guns on top.

    It appears to be the 6-in-1. I like the idea of a bajillion guardsmen pouring out of the Stormlord...

    It seemed like that would require all the magnets. Hence my question.

    Bear in mind that the drive by shoot out of your super heavy transport has received a bit of a setback in that I understand 7th ed allows you to flame open topped - which those variants are - and hit the models transported.

    Actual magnet count for a Baneblade/Hellhamer with all weapons interchangeable and all side panels movable came in at 88... So bad but not horrible... that also included a few to make the aerials removable too.

    My personal favorites are the Stormlord with that vulcan megabolter or the hell hammer. Both are pretty beastly. I had an game against a stormlord with my Blood Angels and was losing about a squad a turn to it.

    If you have Guard, then that's your answer. Compared to the AV12/10 Chimera, a AV14/13 StormLord is *GREAT* ride, arguably your best choice: Tons of Transport, good guns, lots of shots.
