===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" ! !
