Stormlord = win.

Epic win.

I completely disagree with the idea that one of the variants could be a Skullhammer. Its just going to be 6 different types of Imperial Baneblades, giving us a total of 8 types including the current Regular Baneblade and the HellHammer.

P.S. Just heard from the manager at my local GW they are going to be making a 3 Baneblade Box set that will retail for probably $220. for when the new types come out.

**Flachzange**

Banehammer lol

Too bad. I would buy a 3 Shadowsword kit.

Exactly. What the

is wrong with these people?

GW is very much intent on continuing the theme they set with their tanks. The Chimera and her variants are named after mythical things, the Leman Russ gets its name from destructive things and the super-heavies for the most part need to have a name that is a combination of something ominous and something that hurts. They are stretching thngs a bit with these new tanks though. And here I was hoping that the Stormlord would be a break away from this stupid naming convention.

so im just curious as to why you would simply disagree with an idea and not support it with any evidence or conclusions or deductions whatsoever and then simply state this is how it will be, end of story essentially
i dont mean to bicker in the slightest im just more interested in finding out what grounds you are basing this omnicient statement on so i could then be privy to the facts that im obiously missing. my ideas were based on the timing of the release coordinating with the stompa/massive ork themed releases. what are your statements based on other than gut feelings?

p.s.
i've actually heard/seen preorders of the three baneblades box set/kit and they are going for $175
(at least they are in my area) so basically its one hell of a deal as that essentially gets you a free baneblade out of the deal!

Top right corner of each post is a quote box. Click on it and their post will be inserted at the start of yours (see above)

**tonytidus916**

thank you sir

That would because they've been following the Shadowsword / Stormlord / Doomhammer / blah-blah release notes like a hawk and assume that others have, too.

Do your own homework and read the threads, rather than making foolish supposition about what has already been covered.

**Ghost in the Darkness**

Crap I meant to say that the 3 Box set of Baneblades would be 3 of the new 6 type tanks. And I heard that it would be $220 at GW so you could be getting a discount for all I know, but 220 seems better as then your only getting 2/3 of a tank for free not a whole tank for free that doesn't seem like GW to me. I also doubt that there would be a skullhammer in the box as that would require more sprues in the box that for most of the buyers would be completely pointless. Not to mention if you have been following this thread. All 6 variants have pretty much been confirmed as all imperial.

P.S. I love the new spell check feature for the site it works great.

**BrookM**

The upcoming Shadowsword kit will only feature Imperial patterns. The Orkish variant requires the good old converting and whatnotting, something a lot of users here advocate.

wow wow wee wow
someone is really uptight and moody over a little guess as to what could and couldnt be the new plastic tanks/variants
i believe that not all of them have been confirmed yet (thus this thread about thoughts on this issue)
therefore its entirely possible that they could be the ones i guessed....also its entirely possible to be the ones you guessed
the only way to confirm them is to see them in production and on the shelves
until then i suggest you cool your tone and show a little respect for a fellow enthusiast who is simply trying to discuss possibilities of a future UNCONFIRMED release
~tony~

**BrookM**

We've got people with their sources who confirmed things for us an odd page or two back.

We're talking Deepthroat reliable source here.

**JohnHwangDD**

@tony: As I said, read the theads. The 6 variants have all been covered.

Several times, by several sources.

But I am NOT going to do your homework for you.

I merely suggest that you not post foolish speculation about things that are already settled.

**BrookM**

Oh look, this was posted on page 4 around the 12th of December in this thread:

H.B.M.C. wrote:Ok, so, here are the name of the new tanks:

Shadowsword
Banehammer
Doomhammer
Stormlord
Banesword
Stormsword

Kinda reminds me that thread where we were coming up with different Baneblade types and Abadabadoodon came up with 'Hammerblade', 'Swordhammer' and 'Bladeblade!'.

Anyway, the descriptions for these are:

Shadowsword - We all know and love this one, and we've seen it. The main part here is the superstructure that makes up the cannon's housing. As I suspected, this can be mounted forward or back,

Banehammer - The superstructure housing is mounted forward and we get a huge giant mortar. Looking forward to this one.

Doomhammer - Forward turret again, but with a smaller turret. Very similar to the Banehammer apparently.

Stormlord - Once again, forward turret and with the twin Vulcans.

Banesword - Not much detail other than a 'thicker' barrel than the Shadowsword. Unsure what this could mean. In any case, it has the superstructure housing mounted back, so it would be of comparable damage to the Shadowsword and the...

Stormsword - Which I'm assuming is just like the FW one, only crunchy.

No Stormblade, which pisses me off royally (I wanted another one, and one that was all plastic this time). The names are very stupid, but then again they weren't all that clever to begin with. Doomhammer is pretty cool in the GRIMDARK context though.

Also, apparently, three of them - I'm guessing the ones where the superstructure housing is mounted forward - transport infantry! Transport baneblades! OOOH!

And No I can't tell you who or where I heard these from. Don't ask.

BYE

Think of this as a recap and a reminder.

**tonytidus916**

news to me and a much appreciated confirmation then....
the issue that has occured for me, has been dramatic and very negative commentors on this site (not all) as opposed to simply posting corrective comments and trying to assist the fellow gamer with rumors and insight
some have been very helpful while others have been very rude and have done nothing but hold back progress
this should be (and generally is) a site where we talk about things politley and respectfully
my two cents
~tony~

**tonytidus916**

when i read that a while back i assumed (incorectly i suppose) that it was a guess on his part as opposed to confirmed information
my mistake
see guys thats how you admit a mistake and stay respectfull to fellow gamers
~tony~

However, it does pay off to do some research for the thread in the sense that if the thread several pages long it pays off to read back a bit first before committing yourself to the discussion. I'm not saying read the whole thing when the page count is high, but reading back a page or five can do a lot in preparation.
