Is it possible to magnetize one that is all 8? or is it strictly Baneblade/Hellhammer and Hexblade varieties?

Im leaning toward the good old fashioned Baneblade just for sheer awesome factor/old school and pure versatility. On the other hand the hexblade is 6 different models, but outside of the stormlord I have zero clue about how the other variants play.

What do you Dakkaites think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405643.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405643.page GMT Re:Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make!

Thats just magic, thanks!

Also what variant gets the most mileage in regular play? ive been tempted to fill a stormlord with lascannon or autocannon HWTs and go to town on everything]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405765.page GMT Re:Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make! STR 10 AP 1 blast that ignores cover is great against pretty much anything, and 36" range (the intended balancing factor back when it was an Apocalypse unit) is a trivial problem on a 6x4 table. The Hellhammer is also decent, it drops the size of the blast down to 7" but adds a demolisher cannon to make up for it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405768.page GMT Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make!
Still, the Stormsword and Hellhammer provide very nasty S10 AP1 Ignores Cover Apocalyptic/Massive Blasts respectively. The Hellhammer in particular pays through the nose for it though.

The Shadowsword is like one of the only Imperial units outside of Titans/Thunderhawks that has a ranged D weapon, so that's always handy.

The Stormlord would be super awesome if Guard had melee units worth charging out of it. Though it could be an interesting way to get a melee blob into combat. You can use it as a bunker I guess, but that's a super expensive bunker lol.

The regular Baneblade is probably the best of the rest, with the rest being varying levels of meh. Again, its mainly because they're just too expensive for what they provide. Like is it really worth paying 430pts for a Banesword, when you could buy three Basilisks for cheaper and get the same or probably more S9 AP3 firepower?

I miss those days. Superheavies were only moderately overpowered rather than comically overpowered.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405782.page GMT Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8405834.page GMT Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8406003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8406003.page GMT Just bought a baneblade/shadowsword kit, which one should I make!
- They cost only a fraction of the cost of the model
- Applying them correctly only cost you a fraction of the time it cost to paint it.
- you will have a superior model that is simpler to transport and most importantly is fitter out the way you want it to be for every battle. If they change the rules or the meta just swap the weapons and you are done.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8406066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/677756/8406066.page GMT
