Some friends and i are going for a fun game on sunday and i was wondering if the baneblade is only for apoc, or has it been approved for 40k. Ive done the searchy thing but came up with zilch.

all super heavies are apocalypse only.

Unless you want a unbalanced game go for it

Thats what i thought. One of the players is tau using the new expasion with 3 riptides. I was looking for a way to counter that.

Take it along and ask your friend. If its supposed to be a fun game it should be allowed at least once.

If it's for a fun, casual game then it doesn't really matter does it If your friends are okay with playing a game with one even if it's not normally allowed for the lulz, then sure. I don't think it's actually allowed officially though as it's Apocalypse only AFAIK (although Apoc is getting closer and closer to being normal 40k...)

Say, if they let you use it, and because you have a super heavy, anything it attacks, gets to re-roll no matter what. Make it fair for them to have something so lop-sided.

The Baneblade isn't really all that powerful and honestly at times feels like kind of a points sink. It's big, it's scary, but when you get down to it, it doesn't offer much that it's points in Leman Russ tanks can't.

Well, I prefer a Shadowsword instead of the normal Baneblade. Its fun to play in an Apoc game due to its titan-killer weapon.
