How to Build the Octablade All 8 Baneblade Variants 

Thanks for the heads up!

:) you are welcome!

I is gonna loot it. ;) Orktablade.

The Baneblade Model kit comes with each part for building all 8 variants, so it doesn't destroy your wallet. Just 140.00 USD plus the cost of the magnets and green putty (not counting the glue here). Also, if you wanted 4 sponsons, the Baneblade Model kit only comes with 2, so you have to spend 50.00 through GW's website in order to buy the other two sponsons. Your wallet is safe. This is coming from somebody that runs a 3000 point army (exactly 3000 points) with two Shadowswords, two Hellhammers, one Stormlord and 1 Vindicare Assassin (1 Super Heavy detachment and 1 Auxillary Support Detachment. It is battle forged.) Win or Lose, it's a fun army to play that looks really cool being that it has been painted by a master painter. "Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours.'' Edit- I just noticed this video is from 2016! Sorry!

I’m running a stormlord in my genestealer cult army. Down with the imperium!

@@johnathanbeebe8809 You madman.

And not necessarily in that order!

Glad to be of assistance! :)

How do you do that

You're welcome :)

No problem, feel free to share it so others can enjoy the content :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, sadly only 59, and been doing RU-vid pretty steady for a year. Oh well, it's just a hobby :)

Sorry, but I don't have access to this model or even the parts I used on it. So I can't check any sizing that I used. I would find someone that magnetized their Tau Battlesuits, the magnet sizes I used were similar to those. Then again you might have to test size/fit a few different types. I recommend experimenting :)

Thanks :)

Well if you aren't going to build it like the video shows then you'll have to decide which weapon configuration will fit your army better.

It was actually rather easy to do once the base was assembled. As for measuring the sprues I did a few test fits before gluing it in place.

got any measurements for the sprue bits that hold the hull?

was wondering the same thing. as well

@@GreyShirtGuy I thought I had replied earlier. Octoblade is done and looking well

Good to hear!

I'm not 100% sure, and all my Guard models are in storage so I can't check for you. Just test fit it a few times and you'll do fine.

I'd have to look at the model, unfortunately my guard are all in storage :(

They are great kits.

@@GreyShirtGuy you’ve doomed my wallet

stormblade is Forgeworld only and the kit is the bane blade kit

All my hobby stuff for my Guard is in storage until next year :( I ordered three different sizes, but I can't recall which one I actually used. I think it's the same size as Tau Crisis Suits use for their weapons.

This was the GW kit.

I'm not sure, new Astra Militarum Codex is coming out soon though. The points should be in there.

Anywhere from 430 to 500 points. If I were you I would do the stormlord variant as you can put 40 of the ratskin snipers and demolish anything in your path. I haven’t looked to far into the other variants as the stormlord caught my eye and I bought one for my genestealer cult army.

Julian Farnum I feel honored, do you have a link?

Grey Shirt Guy hum seems that this is a pattern ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c7_eD-75cIo.html

I made this when I was poor, I am still poor, but now I have several Baneblade chassis!

@@GreyShirtGuy well it was more of a joke :D
