===Shadowhammer=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> Fluff: <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> A somewhat overspecialized Baneblade hailing from the vaults of Zhao-Arkkad (Best known for producing the Praetor missile launcher), the Shadowhammer can only be described as an anti-aircraft missile vehicle. It trades off its turret and hull-mounted Demolisher for an Exorcist-Ultra vertical-launch missile launcher and a substantial internal loading bay. Though it cannot launch more than a few rockets simultaneously, its capacity to rapidly reload allows it to maintain a constant stream of ordnance against enemy aircraft- at least until it runs out of expensive-to-produce Praetor-type ammo. An externally-mounted auspex-designator system allows it to guide in allied fire against airborn targets, and it is not uncommon to see Shadowhammers accompanied by Hydra flak tanks or anti-air Manticores, where the vast quantity of munitions they can fire off can be used as accurately as possible. Unfortunately for the Shadowhammer, many Imperial commanders do not see the value of a superheavy anti-air vehicle, preferring to distribute their AA on smaller, more mobile vehicles. To this end, Shadowhammers are frequently loaded with the anti-tank and anti-infantry munitions used by the Praetor, though they suffer in this role- their targeting systems are simply not adequately designed for anti-armour use, and they struggle to attack close-in targets. Some Shadowhammers have found their way into the Sororitas arsenal, no surprise given their technical similarities to the Exorcist rocket tank, and their ornately decorated hulls compete with those of the Hellswords in opulence. Just like its fellow artillery Baneblade, the Doomlord, it is a specialist vehicle either used by the Sororitas or by the occasional guard regiment in scenarios where even regular artillery can't close in enough. </div> </div> [[Image:Shadowhammer.jpg|thumb|250px|right|]] May be taken as a Lords of War choice for a Sisters of Battle or Castellans of the Imperium army. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! !
