Alrighty brother,

In the end a super heavy is the same as any other unit. A tool, if you use it right then it will be good and if you try and use it for something its not made for it cna bite you in the but!

A Baneblade is the hammer to end all hammers. Everything else is a scalpel in comparison.

Use it a lot, use it hard and direct, and remember to account for rebound.

I feel its anti armor capabilitys are lack luster really

Same with all IG vehicles.

*speaking from bitter experience*

Tell me about it brother, that shadow sword though......makes me smile so.

also for guard the Aquilla strong point is a strond Str D option

Yeah, but you could get a Titan for cheaper. That thing is a lot of points.

I is around 530 pluss a melta bomb and the Warhound is 700 plus 4 melta bombs. so a bit cheeper but you are right it becomes something you build your army around. not something you just add to an army. but it is also around the same price as a baneblade with sponsons

Really? Can't find my book right now. I would have sworn the Aquila Strongpoint was 800+ points.

Nah its not that bad. now if you start throwing the upgraid stick at it on yea it will cost you an arm and a leg AND your las guns. but naked for basic boom gun its ok

I did always spring for the Void shield generator.

with void shields (Over both structures) it is 585 so that's not bad at all for a AV 15 bldg

Just in case anyone was wondering I went with the knight before the baneblade...

Lower cost and a good support walker for my mechanized guard. I will get that blade one day though!

Well whenever you get the 'Blade, I've found two tutorials on how to magnetize it so it can be all the different versions, there could be better ones out there but haven't looked that hard.

I wish you luck in all your superheavy endeavour!!

Imperial Knights have more utility in games, not least because they have a lower average points cost. That said, I much prefer the tanks; they are bigger, uglier, more Imperial and a helluva lot more Dakka.
