===Shadowlord=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> Fluff: <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> Though every Baneblade variant is large and well-equipped enough to function as a command vehicle with few difficulties, a large formation of such superheavy vehicles demands a specialized tactical coordination unit, and the Shadowlord fills this niche. It replaces a conventional Baneblade's turret with a suprisingly spacious command unit, incorporating massive comms uplink units and even a compact barracks with all the conveniences a small group of officers would need to live on the front lines. Fitted with air recyclers, a sealed hull and internal refrigeration systems useful for preserving food, it can keep its crew fed and watered for months at a time without outside support. Though it is just as heavily armoured as a regular Baneblade, and it maintains the Baneblade's Demolisher so it is not wholly defenseless, its true value lies in regulating the chaotic comms traffic that always arrises when a large armoured force is in action. Naturally, the complex cogitator and data-processing systems of a Shadowlord make them a literally valuable target, in addition to being a command vehicle, and so these vehicles often maintain continuous contact with Imperial Guard artillery or orbital assets, allowing them to call in support strikes to devastating effect. </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" ! !
