Just got this good looking tank



However, I would like some suggestions on what it can count as. I'm thinking shadowsword and the other non-turret baneblade versions.

Mortian dimensions:
length: 25cm // 10" with dozer blade
width: 14,5cm with sponsons // 5,5″,
height: 8,5cm // 3,3″

Baneblade dimensions (from an old thread, so don't know if they are correct):
Length: 22cm
Width: 14cm Not including Sponsons. 18cm including sponsons
Height: 6 cm from the bottom of the tracks to the top of the main body. Add a further 1.5cm for the main gun mount.

Baneblade dimensions from a reddit thread:
Length (from front of tracks to fuel canisters at rear): 24cm or approximately 9.5 inches
Width without sponsons: 14cm or approximately 5.5 inches
Width with sponsons: 18cm or approximately 7.1 inches
Height (from bottom of tracks to top of turret, not counting antenna, hatches, etc...): 11cm

Close enough? It is clearly a bit slimmer than a baneblade with sponsons. It is practically the same length. Height is very different between the two different baneblade dimensions I found, so if anyone have a shadow sword, I would appreciate a control measurement.

If you brought that to the table, I'd be fine letting you use it as a shadow sword.


ATTENTION
. Psychic tests are unfluffy. Your longing for AV is understandable but misguided. Your chapter doesn't need a separate codex. Doctrines should go away. Being a "troop" means nothing. This has been a cranky service announcement. You may now resume your regularly scheduled arguing.

At first glance I'd say a Macharius, but based on size I'd have no qualms letting you run it as a Baneblade variant.

It does not have a good 1:1 analogue for wysiwyg purposes, use it as whatever you feel most comfortable with from a size perspective

Thanks for the input guys, I armed it up as a shadowsword equivalent.
Final measurements: 25cm long including the dozer blade, 10cm to the highest point, 14cm wide to the sponsons, or 18 including the sponson guns
