Hey

Hello guys quick question how many baneblades to drop a warhound? I have a spare warhound thats doing nothing but collecting dust so I figure wtf chop it up for some scenery. I am getting 2 baneblades for christmass, and game wise would that be enough?

A Warhound can kill something like 2 Baneblades PER TURN. Warhounds are fairly balanced to powerful, while Baneblades are very weak.

Is this a scratch built warhound or a FW one? If it's a FW one why don't you just sell it? Also i think 2 baneblades can drop a warhound. Just depends on who shoots first.

It largely depends what the titan is armed with. Twin turbo lasers can easily drop a baneblade in one salvo, whilst the "classic" plasma blastgun and vulcan megabolter will struggle to take more than a single hull point off.

if the baneblades have sponsons, they should be able to drop the titans shields easily, and two baneblade cannons and two demolisher cannons gives them slightly more firepower than a brace of plasma blastguns.

The big problem with baneblades in that fight are the heavy bolters that do nothing - not even to shields - and the autocannon that can't touch the titans armour.

In short, if its not carrying turbo lasers, two is a nice match. Increase by one for each turbo laser the titan is armed with

Ya it is the FW one with the normal lay out. Back when the canadian dollar was way up brit dollar was down and FW didnt charge me import charges three times. I got close to 5 k worth of big models I never got around too. Only got the chaos warhound build and painted.

Still have the space marine one, giant squiggoth the exalted pappa nurgle, tzeench, khorne, vermin lord, maggoth lord, a bunch of chaos dwarf stuff and something else.... I forget what it is tho.

So three banes are needed... Dang tome to readjust the christmass list lol.

Oh also bought a binch of Nurgle terminators and marines beofre I realised it was just heads and pads. And the two dreads.

Sweet feth, do not chop it up, SELL IT, Titans can go for massive amounts of money on Ebay.
