===Doomblade=== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> Fluff: <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> The Skitarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus generally prefer to use their own vehicle designs rather than those issued to the Militarum, seeing the latter designs as too primitive for proper use. There are exceptions, however, and the Doomblade is a prominent one. The name refers to a broad category of Mechanicus Baneblade vehicles, replacing the conventional armament of the original with the specialized energy and physics-manipulation weapons favored by the Taghmata. There are dozens of sub-variants of the Doomblade, but common to all of them is the ferocious Rotor Conversion Beamer, an archeotech weapon using the same antimatter-conversion technology favored by the Space Marines. Though difficult to use against moving targets, the ability of a Conversion Beamer to atomically annihilate literally all kinds of matter makes it a devastating weapon when fired against... anything, really. As the Beamer needs to be stationary to launch dozens of searing antimatter beams, the Doomblade is primarily a defensive weapon, parked on the Taghmata frontlines as a mobile strongpoint. Many outside the Mechanicus are unaware that the variant exists, simply convinved that the 'doomblade' is a rumor or confabulation. Those who have seen one in action, however, tell otherwise. Though short-ranged and mostly immobile, a functional Doomblade is a whirling storm of electromagnetic energies, melting, searing and crushing the enemies of the Mechanicus with unnerring precision. Oddly enough, however, the hull of a Doomblade seldom undergoes any kind of modification, and thus these triumphs of advanced technology are no tougher than their conventional counterparts. </div> </div> May be taken as a Lords of War choice for a Mechanicum, Cult Mechanicus, Skitarii, or Grand Convocation army. If taken for a Mechanicum army then Grav-Cannons and Heavy Grav-Cannons are unavailable. If taken for a Cult Mechanicus, Skitarii or Grand Convocation army then Graviton Cannons and Graviton Guns are unavailable. {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! ! BS ! HP !
