The Doomhammer is a tank-killer that uses its [[Magma Cannon]] to reduce all but the largest of war-engines to scrap, especially when employed at short range. While the Shadowsword's volcano cannon is still preferable when facing actual Titans, especially at extreme distances, the Magma Cannon can deal a death blow to unwary players thinking they are hotshots for having smaller units with the Titanic keyword on the field. Since shells do not have to be carried and the main gun's mechanisms take up less space, it can also carry 25 soldiers, and has enough room in the rear deck to let ten of them shoot out of the vehicle. The Doomhammer was first designed as a field conversion of a Banehammer tank during the 1000 year-long siege of the Renegade Forge World of Odana. By replacing the Banehammer's Tremor Cannon with a Magma Cannon the tank gained the ability to severely damage or outright destroy vast swathes of enemy vehicles. During the siege, armoured vehicle attrition rates outstripped supply and thus Imperial commanders had to use replacements for their lost Shadowswords. In a way, you can think of the Doomhammer as the "shotgun" of the Titan-killing Baneblades: while the Magma Cannon lacks the extreme range and outright power of other weapons such as the Volcano Cannon, at close distances it can still turn almost any target into a sizzling puddle of slag. Compared to the Shadowsword it is arguably much better suited for fighting more conventional, non-Titanic units as a regular tank destroyer IFV hybrid.
