**Anung Un Rama**

Sorry if this is old news, I couldn't find it anywhere else. Appearently, GW will bring out a new plastic super-heavy vehicle for Apocalypse coming march.

drummroll please

A SHADOWSWORD!!!
Or, to be more precise, a kit in which the Shadowsword is only one of several possibilities, 6 to be exact.
I can't give you the pic right now, because my Firefox is screwing around, but I thought you should know.

**aka_mythos**

Word of a shadowsword has been around for a while, but no ones had pictures of the plastic kit yet.

**Anung Un Rama**

Am I allowed to post pictures out of a White Dwarf in here? Because then I could take a photo an put it online.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I'm told it also makes the Vulcan Armed one as well..

Sign me (as yet non-existent) Orkses up for 3. And a Stompa. Or 6.

Who said I was mental?

**Anung Un Rama**

If this is illegal, just delete it

**Prometheum5**

Gorgeous... I'd like to know what the other vehicle options in the kit are, but I do believe I will be buying that kit either way. I held off getting a Baneblade as I found stuff to make my own with, but getting that Shadowsword and detailing it up right would be a blast.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Oh thats a thing of beauty that!

**Platuan4th**

Definitely buying this kit. How many of them is dependent on which variants it can make.

**dr vompire**

oh no, I'm due to get some back pay soon, I can see me ending up with no money, but a fantastic superheavy tank Regiment!

**HungryTaz**

The German is translated too (via Babelfish)

New superheavy tanks! Even if we with the apokalypse end to all hires connect, does not correspond regarding being hammer 40,000 by any means to the truth - in the Marz a fulle of Apocalypse novelties appears, among other things a brand-new super+heavy tank. Correctly, the Shadowsword shown above is not a Forge World model, but a new plastic construction set! And the best at the thing: this is only of six super+heavy variants, which you with divide from the box build can! In order to find more uber the supplies out fur Apocalypse - to be silent from the other Marz novelties completely - you must wait unfortunately still up to the thick special expenditure 159.

**Anung Un Rama**

That is one awfull translation

Maybe I use this one as base for a Pleaguereaper instead of the normal Baneblade.

**HungryTaz**

Yeah... babelfish is godawful at times... and my German is nowhere near good enough to translate it by myself.

**George Spiggott**

Neue Superschwere panzer! Tank news always sounds better in German. Compound words were made for feats of engineering.

**enmitee**

at the translation. gives you an idea tho

**reds8n**

Top work Mr. Rama.

*yoinks*

that is a sweet looking kit indeed.

**BrookM**

Six variants?

Shadowsword
Stormblade
Stormsword
Stormlord
???
???

And a date is given: March. Oh yes.

**CaptKaruthors**

Ah, now my IG force will have some Vitamin "D" to combat the plethora of Stompas and Gargants that are in my store. This should evenl things out a bit..hehehe

**Agamemnon2**

I can only assume they'll be making yet another Apocalypse book, because that model is in conflict with the Shadowsword rules in IAA, as it has lascannons and two more heavy bolters than the previous variants.

I assumed that when the first rumours of the Shadowsword being made plastic popped up. GW may be possible of alot of things, but producing a plastic kit without readily available rules that would make people buy those same kits?

**CaptKaruthors**

Or they'll just update the datasheet for the Shadowsword....no need to write a book.

**BrookM**

Who knows, maybe GW will pass these kits off as true Mars pattern vehicles, hence the extra guns etc.

**Sgt.Roadkill**

hmm so you reckon its gonna be the baneblade included? caus eif not i'd buy one of those and one Baneblade and then make two differnt variants

**Anung Un Rama**

I hope the giant Plasma cannon is in the kit

**BrookM**

Probably complete Baneblade kit with enough parts for one turret-less variant.

That is the only one I want. Vulcan megabolters, biatch!

Not for the IG, but maybe for Space Wolves (I'll make the fluff work, nerd, don't you worry) or Orkseses.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

My Orks are getting one.

Just *think* of the Dakka!

Not to mention filling it's transport to the Gunnells with lots and lots of Nobs. Hurr hurr hurr!

Actually I'm pretty certain that when this rolls out, there will be another orky product stomping around that might interest you more.

**Ifurita**

I may have to break down and get one

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I'll get the lot.

My Boyz want to travel in *style*

Besides, how can I turn down that much Dakka? I mean...think of the Dakka.....just think of the Dakka

**Death By Monkeys**

Now that would be a battlewagon.
