The Stormblade is armed with a titan-scale [[Plasma Blastgun]]: a [[plasma]]-hurling death weapon that eats [[MEQ]]'s, hordes, hordes of MEQ's, and even light tanks for breakfast. With better range than the Stormlord and a blast radius so big that [[Grey Knights|Plasma Siphons]] feel even worse about existing, it excels at killing hordes of anything in [[Apocalypse]]. Even vehicle hordes. Its origin story starts on the Forge World of Ryza, where despite having the best reputation with regards to plasma technology, they couldn't build Volcano Cannons for Shadowsword tanks. So as an alternative to a giant D-Gun they slapped a giant plasma gun instead. Luckily, because the Shadowsword chassis was so massive, removing the laser generators meant there was plenty of space for a cooling system, so the tank never ''Gets Hot!'' from overuse. As mentioned above, Stormblades in Epic used to have Hellion Missile launchers to add to the amount they could [[Rape]] Titans, however in current 40k they no longer have them. The fluff reason is because the missiles had a tendency to self detonate when exposed to enemy fire, resulting in several tanks being destroyed by their own missiles. So it was figured that the tank and plasma blastgun were more precious than the limited-use ordnance that came as an aftermarket extra, so the missiles were withdrawn. There is also a Legion Astartes version because Forge World got tired of making additional versions of the [[Fellblade]].
