I want to field my Stormblade, Shadowsword, and Baneblade but I'm not sure which FW book has the latest rules for them. Does anyone know where I can find the information? Thank you in advance.

Imperial Armor Apocalypse 2nd Edition has rules for many of the superheavy tanks, however the basic Baneblade rules remain identical to those in the basic Apocalypse book.

Here is the Table of contents of the most recent book with super heavy tanks in it (Imperial Armor Apocalypse Second Edition).



Here is the 6th edition update for the generic Apocalypse Super Heavy rules.

So why is the Helhammer no longer mentioned, not even on the big 40k pullout poster?

You can still make it from the Baneblade kit. It's the one I'd have!

Hi there, anyone had any experience with the banesword? The quake cannon seems an excellent weapon, just wondering if there are any hidden down sides to them?

They used to be available as pdfs on the GW website (the FW book rules are exactly identical), until GW took them down when they decided that their website should have no actual content and focus on selling models. If you can find a copy of the pdfs you can use those, the rules haven't changed at all.

Currently if you need them in book form:
Baneblade, Stormblade, Shadowsword: IA1 second edition.
Hellhammer: Apocalypse rulebook.
