SHT (shadowsword)

The Shadowsword is a super-heavy main battle tank used by the Imperial Guard to hunt enemy Titans. It was designed using the same technology and chassis as the Baneblade tank except that it is armed with a Volcano Cannon. Much of the tank is taken up with the internal capacitors required to fire this potent weapon and it is also equipped with advanced logic engines and targeting systems to make each shot count. Each shot is sufficiently powerful to shear off a Titan's arm or leg, but requires a good deal of time to recharge.

The following model is a ForgeWorld resin model.

Baneblade - Epic SHT

The Baneblade Super Heavy Tank is the primary super-heavy tank of the Imperial Guard, and one of the largest and oldest armored fighting vehicles in Imperial service. The tank is a venerated STC design, with ten people needed to fully crew one.

It is also one of the oldest STC designs in existence.
Massively armed, the standard Baneblade complement includes a turret-mounted Mega Battle Cannon with a coaxial Autocannon, three twin-linked Heavy Bolters (one sponson-mounted on either side, and one turret mounted on the front hull slope), two turret mounted Lascannons on either side, directly above the side sponsons, and lastly, a fixed-forward hull-mounted Demolisher Cannon. This totals eleven weapon barrels of various sizes and roles, giving full coverage in all arcs.
