Baneblade Homebrew

As the image to the right indicates, there are 6 prefixes and 4 suffixes for Baneblade names so there are 24 possible Baneblade variants. As the image also indicates, only 11 of these 24 variants are filled. This is a homebrew page that intends to fix that.

Bane-

Because sometimes, you want vanilla.

Fellhammer

The Fellhammer was the brainchild of Rogal Dorn, who complained about the low speed and lack of additional firepower the Typhon Siege Tank suffered from, and proposed a new heavy gun carrier that would be able to more effectively support Breacher assaults. The Fellhammer is a modified form of the Falchion that mounts the same Dreadhammer Cannon as the Typhon with a backup array of heavy bolters and Lascannons to support it. It is well know that Peturabo was displeased by this new design and tried to have it blocked from service, which subsequently meant few examples of this vehicle had entered service by the time of the outbreak of Heresy.
