There is a guy who has been making them... as far as i know they are entirely his creation.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/327020.page this is the proposed rules for them
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/326420.page This is the making of Fellblades
According to Lexicanum they are a super heavy tank used by SM legions. Nothing else is known

Nah, I just ran with the idea. Space Marine super-heavies were featured in the game art of the 80s (specifically the Hercules, Glaive, and the Falchion). With the release of the Horus Heresy: Visions of Heresy (a collection of art from the card game) they introduced the Fellblade and the Mammoth, which are basically the space marine versions of the Baneblade and Shadowsword. BoLS wrote up some rules for the Fellblade, which had the same armaments as its Imperial Guard counterpart but with a BS of 4 and a machine spirit.

The Fellblades I'm making (and their rules) are more or less a one off version of a Fellblade that has been modified to fit that particular Legion as oppose to being another generic tank. It's just a fun project for me and by no means should it be considered canon.

As to whether or not you can use a Baneblade painted in space marine colors in a game, the beauty of Apocalypse is that you can do this and it's entirely legal
