==Hell-== Because heaven was overrated. ===Hellblade=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> Fluff: <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Sometimes called the "Guard Raider", for its vague similarities to the Land Raider assault transport, the Hellblade is an unusual variant of the Baneblade used as a heavy line-breaking troop-carrier. Its chassis is reversed, with the engine in the front, to provide extra protection to the operators and crew. Instead of a turret, its humpbacked hull bristles with fireports and a small Heavy Bolter turret rigged for anti-aircraft use. Though its armour has been massively increased compared to a 'stock' Baneblade, the absence of heavy weapons or shells makes its mobility largely unaffected, and if properly-maintained Hellblades can manage surprising turns of speed. What makes it truly unique is the huge 'Hellroller' anti-mine drum on its frontal hull- this massive cylinder of thrice-hardened ceramite detonates anti-vehicle mines ahead of the vehicle, and is more than capable of crushing infantry, foxholes and light field defences flat as the Hellblade rolls towards its destination. This means that it is not only capable of transporting significant numbers of soldiers in safety, but also that it can open a path for other soldiers. Significant numbers of Hellblades see use in Militarum trench regiments, especially among the Kriegers, and their somewhat top-heavy bulk is a comforting presence for any Imperial infantryman. That they carry an onboard medical bay helps too, of course. </div> </div> May be taken as a Lords of War choice for an Astra Militarum, Grand Convocation or Castellans of the Imperium army or as part of the Super-Heavy Support Element or 'Emperor's Fury' Super-Heavy Company formations. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! !

With demand for superheavy tanks high, as always, the Magii of Mars made do with off-the-shelf parts to complete the Helllord's design, fitting it with a pair of powerful if somewhat obsolete Ironbreaker siege howitzers and two missile launchers adapted from the Taurox design. The end result was a relatively inexpensive multipurpose superheavy tank, capable of acting in both the artillery and direct-fire role. That said, the lack of sophistication in the vehicle's systems and its great weight have made it less popular than other more unconventional Baneblade variants. Regardless, beggars can't be choosers and a budget super heavy battle tank is welcome to worlds who are not quite important enought to keep full Baneblades in PDF garrison but still need something heavier than the Macharius's more conventional heavy battle tank chassis welcomed it greatly. </div> </div> May be taken as a Lords of War choice for an Astra Militarum, Grand Convocation or Castellans of the Imperium army or as part of the Super-Heavy Support Element or 'Emperor's Fury' Super-Heavy Company formations. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! !

The Sororitas specifcally requested an emphasis on flame weaponry, which was easily accomplished, but also a hull integrating a vast quantity of holy symbols and sacred Imperial Cult anointings, much to the irritation of the Magii charged with construction. Every single component of the Hellsword, down to each individual bolt and rivet, is consecrated by an Ecclesiarchal Cardinal, and their hulls are filled with dozens of small devotional shrines and sacred icons. The first six Hellswords were deployed to the various Orders stationed around the Eye of Terror, and almost immediately became the stuff of legend. Frequently painted with devotional images by local artists, their ornately decorated hulls were symbols of Imperial might, so holy that their mere presence on a battlefield was enough to banish lesser daemons. The titanic flames of their Inferno guns, passing through barrels deeply carved with hexagrammatic patterns, became instantly recognizable wherever the Sororitas deployed. The unquestioned success of the Hellsword made its way back to Mars, where production resumed on the series- that said, however, there are still relatively few Hellswords available in the Imperium. Few Sororitas minor orders have the resources to maintain and field more than one while major orders do not like to risk them in all but the direst battles, and new construction is slow due to the necessity of individually blessing each part. </div> </div> May be taken as a Lords of War choice for an Astra Militarum, Grand Convocation, Castellans of the Imperium or Sisters of Battle army or as part of the Super-Heavy Support Element or 'Emperor's Fury' Super-Heavy Company formations.
