The IG superheavy Baneblade and its variants has the following option:
• May add up to two pairs of side sponsons, each with one lascannon and one twinlinked
heavy bolter - 50 pts/pair

So, for 50 points do you get:
a) one lascannon and one twinlinked heavy bolter
or
b) one lascannon and one twinlinked heavy bolter on each side of the baneblade.

I don't understand the whole "two pairs... each with" Is the lascannon and the TL heavy bolter the pairing, or is the pairing the las and TL HB on each side?

I used the search feature but couldnt find my answer.

Thanks, I really wasnt sure. So I guess it is impossible for a shadowsword to ever get BS4 lascannons.

two pairs = 4 sponsons, two of which you have to replace the lascannons for the targeters. You can indeed have bs4 lascannons on your shadowsword.

A Pair of Sponsons is one on each side with a Lascannon and Heavy Bolter.

2 pairs would be 2 on each side, each one with a Lascannons and Heavy Bolter, for 4 of each weapon total.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

are you sure? Thats what I thought, but a pair could also be the pairing of the lascannon and HB.

I just wanted to be sure, had to play devil's advocate, couldn't trust myself to be an impartial judge.

Just found some pretty damn good proof:

"Baneblade Sponsons And Accessories

This Bitz pack contains 2 frames allowing you to upgrade a Baneblade with extra armour and an extra pair of sponsons."

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1290050

obviously a pair of sponsons is 2 lascannons and 2 TL HB (one on each side).

Just to confirm it again:

You can have 0, 1, or 2 pairs on a shadowsword:
0, 2, or 4 Heavy bolters with Lascanons

for the cost of 0, 50 and 100 points.

Otherwise my Baneblade is over-charged with 4 of them, two front and two back sponsoons =P
