Hello!

Looking for help creating an Apocalypse datasheet and asigning a point value to the Baneblade chasis based Stormhammer Super Heavy tank.

(I don't think it exists, but then I don't own Apocalypse Reloaded, so, sorry if it does!)

So first, some pictures...

The old Epic Version:


A 'cad' drawing:


A pretty spot on conversion:


A variation on a theme, probably easier to do with the two demolisher cannons instead of two twin-barreled turrets:


SO...

What does a twin-linked Super Heavy Baneblade cannon do?

And what would 4 sponsons with twin-linked Heavy Bolters with Lascannons end up costing?

Also, is that the correct weapons load-out for the Stormhammer? Were the sponsons twin-linked Heavy Bolters with Lascannons on top? For some reason, I'm not 100% sure...

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

Well, a Twin-Linked Baneblade Cannon would be the same as a Baneblade Cannon, except that you could re-roll the Scatter Dice. The Stormhammer would have two of these.

I'd probably put the Stormhammer at 850-900 points.

Something like +200-250 points for both extra sponsons, and then something like +100 to replace the Demolisher Cannon and Hull Twin-Linked Heavy Bolters with the second Baneblade Cannon.

I took a cut at Stormhammer earlier :

StormHammer
BS3 AV14/13/12 SP3 650pts

Superheavy tank; Stormhammer Cannons (x2); 4x Sponsons w/ Lascannon (x4) & twin HB (x4)

Stormhammer Cannons R48" S10 AP1 Ordnance 10" Blast Primary.

Sorry, not sure how I missed that...

Any way, that sounds decent enough.

I imagine it would always come down to an argument over points, with people complaining 650 isn't 'enough', though 900 sounds a bit steep!

Exactly, you'll have to negotiate the points on a custom tank like the Stormhammer.

You might try 700 pts for twin-linked (re-roll scatter) S9 AP1 Heavy 1 7" Ordnance in each turret.

That might work well for most.

I love me that Stormhammer...

I'll have to come up with something that will let me get it on the table.

Maybe once all of the new Datafaxes for the new Super Heavy tanks come out something in there will help too.

Thanks!

Somebody at my FLGS did a stormhammer conversion, and I take a moment every time I am there to go and pay homage to it. Be ready for it to attract a lot of incoming fire, for you enemy will be looking at it with blood in their eyes.

theyre makin amodel and rules

That's a very nice piece of kit there...

Lets see:
Stormhammer @ 750 pts
Storhammer cannon: S9 7 inch bloast, twinlinked
and all the sponsons ofcourse
