Cursed Blade (2026)

Baneblade

Contents:
This multi-part plastic kit contains 1 Astra Militarum Baneblade for Warhammer 40,000. The Baneblade is a super-heavy main battle tank and is one of the most powerful war machines the Imperium of Man fields on tracks. Where ordinary tanks support a firing line, a Baneblade forms the focal point of an entire assault.

Armed with its mighty Baneblade cannon, a hull-mounted demolisher cannon, and multiple secondary weapons, the Baneblade brings enormous firepower to the tabletop. It is designed to bury enemy infantry, vehicles, fortifications, and elite units alike under heavy fire. For Astra Militarum players, it is an impressive army centerpiece and a clear statement: this is no mere artillery; this is a mobile fortress.

On the tabletop, the Baneblade is particularly suitable for players who love massive tank formations, brutal firepower, and the iconic look of the Imperial Guard. It can break enemy lines, control vital firing corridors, and threaten large parts of the battlefield with its armament. Of course, it is not a subtle tool. Deploying a Baneblade tells your opponent quite clearly that the diplomatic phase of negotiations is over.

For collectors and painters, the Baneblade is also a true prestige project. The large armor plates, track segments, turrets, hatches, and numerous details offer plenty of surface area for regimental colors, insignia, battle damage, dust, soot, and oily machine aesthetics. Whether fresh from the forge world or in service on endless fronts for decades, this tank offers enough space to paint an entire war story on steel.

Depending on how it is assembled, the kit can also be built as other Astra Militarum super-heavy tank variants.

What is Warhammer 40,000:
Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop strategy game by Games Workshop set in the grimdark 41st millennium. Players lead armies of powerful factions against each other in tactical battles, using miniatures, terrain, and dice to implement their strategies on the battlefield.

The game combines tactical decisions with an extensive background world full of heroism, horror, alien threats, and ancient conflicts. Each faction has its own units, abilities, playstyles, and lore that shape the gaming experience.

The core rules form the foundation of the game and are supplemented by faction-specific rulebooks, campaign books, and expansions. This allows players to engage in both individual skirmishes and extensive narrative campaigns, and to continually expand their armies.

Background:
The Baneblade is a legend among the tanks of the Astra Militarum. These massive war machines originate from ancient STC patterns and are only manufactured by select forge worlds. Each of these tanks is more than just a vehicle. It is a revered relic, a mobile fortress, and a symbol of Imperial might.

On the battlefields of the 41st millennium, Baneblades often lead entire tank assaults. Their arrival can change the course of a battle, as few enemies possess the firepower to challenge such a machine head-on. When its main weapon speaks, fortifications tremble, armored spearheads shatter, and infantry vanishes in smoke, dust, and exploding debris.

For the soldiers of the Astra Militarum, a Baneblade is simultaneously protection, weapon, and moral anchor. Where it advances, regiments follow in its shadow. Where it stops, a fire base is established that can halt even the most stubborn enemy. Yet, despite its power, it remains a tool of the Imperium: another colossus in the endless war, fueled by promethium, ammunition, litanies, and the expectation that it will never yield.
