anybody have an idea how to upgrade a standard baneblade superheavy? No major conversions please. Thanks.

What did you want to upgrade. IIRC, you can only upgrade the armor or change out sponsons. The easiest way to do this is to buy an extra sponson sprue and magnetize everything. That way you have some flexibility to change out your Baneblade/Hellhammer depending on your needs.

This is how I'm magnetizing mine: http://kan.org/michael/mkp/ig_baneblade_magnetizing.php

upgrade which part of the baneblade?

The options are given per apoc: sponsons/side armor, wargear from IG vehicles.
Or do you want additional design stuff like extra fuel drums or camo-netting ?
Enhanced comms to show the "leading vehicle" of a squadron?

cool magnetizing tip! wow! Thanks for the responses guys.

I have already bought an additional sponson, just waiting for my bid to win the turret part, and i'm set! yeheyyyy!

And now for the magnets

And before I forget, how the heck do you camo-net a super-heavy like a baneblade? hehehe I bet that would be:

1) A definite challenge,both the size of the net and the covering materials, it would be HUGE!
2) How bout LOS? since the BB is huge but camo-netted, how would that affect LOS?

1 = easy, visit a hobby store and get an idea.
2 = You need cover to enhance it per camo-net. So it has to be already in cover. LOS isn't affected, you still see the tank and it still blocks LOS.
