Any chance of a raven guard one? Or do I have to convert my own?
I know it doesn't fit with the fluff, but it'll be so cool!

Given the number of people asking for a Raven Guard Fellblade I might just have to relent and build one after all

The problem is how to build a super heavy tank for a Chapter known for speed and stealth. I'm open to ideas.

Are you doing a ultramarines fellblade ??
if so what will it be like ?

Lycaeus stealth tank hunter
points- 450
AV 13/13/12
weapons:
S-D AP-2 Type- heavy 2 5" blast (?)
vanquisher cannon instead of demoolisher cannon?
fast
targeting jammer- A force field, preventing targeting lock-ons. Any shots fired at it from more than 24" away have -1BS co-axial weapons have no effect (so no twin-linked bonus)
Can automatically see during night-fight missions.
can fire all weapons if it has moved 12". (basically relentless)
locator beacon (?)
re-roll to seize the initiative (?)
command tank (?)

Thanks for the ideas Shrike.

I kind of like the idea of a sniper tank with some kind of active camoflage. I read up on the history of the RG and saw that they've used forbidden technology in the past so that may be useful. Maybe something like a laser cannon using the Lance special rule or some kind of rail gun.

The camoflage rule could be that is always subject to Night Fighting rules when being shot at.

Given my pace with this project it could be a year away before I start. So we have plenty of time to think of something

Make it around december so I can get one from santa
If you find ourself with some time on your hands, try march- then I can get it for my birthday

Lycaeus stealth tank hunter- 400pts
AV 13/13/12
weapons:
1x SD AP1 heavy 2, Lance.
may fire at 2 differemt targets.
co-axial lascannon.
hull-mounted vanquisher cannon
Targeter jammer field- when shooting at this tank, it counts as being night-fight.
fast
stealth
locator beacon
master of suprise attacks- the controlling player may re-roll to seize the initiative.
relentless

Perhaps a smoother sleek look to turrets and recessed weapons would aid with the more stealthier look. Maybe some form of muffling for the engines for noise reduction. I have no idea how easy or not that would be to do just a couple of ideas that came to mind. Other then that great work i love all things imperial fists so the big yellow tank is by far my favourite keep it up.

BTW if you weren't making one specially for my sons of corax i'd definitely buy the BA one. I love assault cannons, and flamestorms, and mega-bolters. This has all three!

Is the ultramarine one just going to be an all purpose one that uses loads of las cannons instead of the autocannons and the demolisher ??? or will it just be a baneblade with a few extra sponsons ?? (please reply)

Well most chapters are specialists at something- ultrasmurfs are all-rounders, so probably yes.

Damn i was expecting something cool and sort of specialised for something. Ive started converting my baneblade but needed to know what they will have.

well, what are ultramarines specialised at? Nothing. They're all rounders. Maybe if you wanted something cool, get the ironbreaker for seiges, or the raven guard one for anti-tank. I'll post the updated rules soon.

It says in the thread that the ultramarines one is going to be a mark two fellblade.

Lycaeus stealth tank hunter- 650pts
AV 13/13/12, BS4
hull/turret mounted corvus heavy cannon:
SD, AP1, range 96", heavy 1.
Hull-mounted vanquisher cannon and twin-linked heavy bolter.
2 sponsons, each with twin-linked heavy bolters/flamers and lascannons.
targeter jammer field- When shooting at the lycaeus tank hunter, the unit shooting counts as shooting during night-fight.
outflank (controlling player may choose which table edge)
Co-axial lascannon (72" range)

May take:
two additional sponsons, each with a lascannon and a twin-linked heavy bolter/flamer for +100pts.
locator beacon for +25pts
lancer heavy cannon for +75pts

hull mounted lancer heavy cannon:
S10, AP1, range 96", Heavy 1, lance, constant beam, overheat.
constant beam- choose a point on the table 96" away. Any model on that line suffers a hit. Void shields absorb the impacts of single shots- when under a constant beam, void shields quickly collapse. When shooting at models with void shields, the first void shield is removed automatically. The second is removed on a 4+. The third is removed on a 6+. If there are no void shields left, after this, the model take the above hit.
Overheat- Sometimes the cannon does not get sufficient time to cool between shots, causing an overheat. If you roll a 1 to hit, on a 4+, the cannon counts as being shaken.

The Ultramarine Fellblade of Renown will mostly follow the options listed in the Lancer variant. But my plan is to make it a next generation Fellblade....

Now there's no reason the Ultramarines, or any of the other Legions, wouldn't have access to the other variants so don't feel constrained to base yours on my plan. This is the 41st Millenium and you're free to do what you want

Okay dakka- as the raven guard fellblade is based on the shadowsword chassis, should it be called a falchion instead, which is more of a self-propelled gun? Or should we just stick with a fellblade?

Lycaeus falchion tank hunter- 675pts

AV 13/13/12, BS4

hull mounted corvus heavy cannon:
SD AP2 96" range heavy 1, constant beam.
constant beam- The corvus cannon is able to fire a shearing energy beam at its target for a prolonged amount of time, capable of stripping away energy shields and reducing the heaviest armor to molten slag. Roll to hit as normal. If the target has either Power fields or Void shields the first shield is automatically penetrated, the second is penetrated on a 4+, and the third on a 6+. If all the shields are penetrated or the target has no shields it is hit using the weapon's profile. If 1 is rolled to hit or during shield penetration the Corvus cannon overheats and causes a shaken result on the main gun.

Hull-mounted vanquisher cannon.

hull-mounted twin-linked heavy bolter.

2 sponsons, each with twin-linked heavy bolters/flamers and lascannons.

Targeter jammer field- When shooting at the lycaeus tank hunter from more than 12" away, the lycaeus tank hunter recieves a 4+ cover save.

Outflank (controlling player may choose which table edge).

Co-axial lascannon (72" range).

May take:
two additional sponsons, each with a lascannon and a twin-linked heavy bolter/flamer for +100pts.
locator beacon for +25pts.
command tank for +25pts.

I'll make some fluff soon.

You could make the Raven Gaurd tank look like a modern day stealth vehicle with sharp angles and flat surfaces. And have the guns look like they retract when needed for stealth. Just ideas.

Is the mid sized turret too big to use on a predator?

There are a few Legions who didn't use Fellblades at all, y'know.. Raven Guard may have been one of 'em. I dunno, I'll go dig out my pre-heresy information.

Here's a load:

OK, finally got around to finishing the machine guns and light cannon and putting them up in the store. Take a look!

The Widowmaker Artillary Cannon with Co-axial Machine Gun:




The Dual Machine Guns:





And the Light Cannon:

Will the mounting plate for the light cannon be available separately? As I would like to use it to mount the lascannons from the bane blade turrets on it.

Sorry, the whole thing is cast as a set so I can't split it up without having extra parts. However, if you just need a couple PM and we can work something out.

Thats ok. I may as well buy the complete kit. Hows your next fellblade coming on?

Seen as your selling these items ever thought about starting a thread in news and rumours? Should increase your sales.

Yeah, or a thread in Dakka swap shop showing what you have for sail and a link directing potential customers to your ebay/website/ whatever you sell from.

This whole project is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the next one, but probably the sw one most, just for the details/theme.

make the ultramarines one next (please because they were the biggest and best chapter at the time of the crusades and heresy)

You'd best be trolling.
