Holy Shrine: The Destructorblade is litrally fulled by the energies of the warp and so its crew will constantly make sacrifices to the dark gods to keep it running however the sight of this in the Chaos Marine lines makes the forces of chaos even more brave. As such every Chaos Unit with 18" of the Destructo Blade is fearless, in addition the Destructoblades daemon save is increased to a 3+

Thoughts on this?

I think it needs a better name...for it and the cannon. Kinda sounds like the invention of some cheesy cartoon villain.

As for the rules, leave it invuln at 5++, more than enough durability. 3++ is too much for a 750pts tank.

Destructocannon R 90 S 10 AP 1 Special rules: Ignores Cover Heavy 4 Large Blast Armour Bane Bit too much I'd say, remove one of the special rules, either Ap1, Ignore Cover or Armourbane
Warp Bolter R48 S7 A3 Specal rules heavy 3 Blast
Warp Lance: R 60 S9 AP1 Special Rules: lance Heavy 2

Assuming this is based off the Baneblade chassis, it should also have the standard loadout of 3xTL HB and 2x LC

Giving a 3+ Daemon save is wayyy OP. Tone it down a notch.

Thoughts on this?

Overall I'd say this needs a lot of work. I would always field a Warhound over this in it's current state. 500 points would be too much even.

Well, it's always better to start overcosted than under, but yes, some stuff needs tweaking.
Interesting vehicle though

..Maybe it could be called the "Daemonblade". This because it seems based on the baneblade, and it's daemonic

Yes it is based on the Bane Blade, I decided that I wanted a Daemonic Bane Blade for my word bearers as such why the Volcano Cannon = the Destructo Cannon Warp Bolter= Heavy Bolters Warp lance= lascannons. As I cant really see the Daemonic Forces wanting to use silly imperial tech :p

I have to agree about the name part. Let's put it this way. Every time I see the name, I imagine a Power Ranger villain screaming it out before doing an attack.

Nope, but CSM and traitor guard would. Chaos forces seem to have a habit to trapping greater daemons inside of a vehicle, and this one doesn't seem that much different, aside from the fact that it's an evil 'blade.

Although, you could trap a greater daemon of tzeentch and have the tank be at BS5.
