Renegade Baneblade Super-heavy Tank [2x Lascannon & 2x Twin-linked Heavy Bolter, Militia Training]

Oh man you have it all built sweet!.

The horde + Spawn + baneblade is exactly what I would do if I had the models and energy.

Thinking about army weakness its probably going to be aircraft and knights. so would consider upgunning the sentinels to lascannon so they can counter knights. even if it means dropping a sentinel.

anti aircraft is more difficult! hydras would be the easiest bet. but are sucky against ground targets. Another idea would be a heavy weapons platoon, which the warlord can join to convey his covenant of tzeentch. Then they can snap fire at bs2 and have a good chance against flyers.

Thanks for the reply Captyn,

AV 13 Walker are a real problem for this build. Every char has a meltabomb and will hopefully hit because of the zealot the Baneblade grants. Until now, I did not face a knight but a SpaceWolves Droppodlist - no problem because of only bjoern had AV 13.

Anti Air is not the biggest issue in my meta, 90% of the flyers are antitank. My Baneblade is surrounded by infantry most of the time (Meltarange)
Because of the massed infantry, flyers also have a positioning problem. Two squads with three autocannons and covenant of tzeentch provide also nice antiair for most flyer.

Do you counts-as the heavy stubbers as autocannon weapons teams?

Yes (shame on me),
I don´t like Proxys but the cultist were a really cheap buy, and Heavy Stubbers look a little bit like autocannons. I don´t think I´m going to buy Heavy Weapon Squads because a forgeworld army can´t take part in tournaments in Germany.
Chaos Spawns are also Proxys (Fantasy Ghoul Things).

Well I think the spawn look just dandy, and the stubber make decent autocannons. One thing to consider is putting two cultists on one larger base (even if they still keep their smaller one) to represent the two wound weapon teams.

Well it certainly looks great! I feel like it's going to be a slow moving army, though.

I am certainly going to do that... I think it's close enough looking also. But it's some super strong human to lift an autocannon! I have zero autocannon teams and more than a dozen renegades/cultists with heavy stubbers or heavy bolters... so may as well stick to those.

@munga

Yes, most parts of the army are slow. Don't forget about the spawns, they are fast moving beasts, fearless, toughness 5, 3 Wounds and have objective secured.
Also the baneblade moves 12" but most time it stays with the infantry

I second putting your stubber models on a HWT's 60mm base since it has an impact on gameplay (and the difference between 25mm and 60mm is huge). Stubber is a fine model to represent the heavy weapon but proper basing is important.

Army looks awesome

I think you're right. I will put the heavy stubber and a cultist on one "Big" base

Could fit two 25mm bases on a 60mm base and magnetize it?

Yeah, this will do. I tried with some recently painted allies.
