Unit Review: Baneblade - 10th Edition Index 

Oh, I loved the Winter Assault expansion 😍 it was so good! The Baneblade was the pinnacle of guard power in the game.

@@CadianSergeantSteel The second expansion added Tau and Necrons. I think it was the one that had a CSM leader in a bizarre accent that sounded Scottish who said, "Sphess Mehreens in metal boxes." during a cutscene.

The list of dreams! I love it!

Happy new year!

Thank you so much 😁 glad you enjoyed the video. And there is nothing wrong with more infantry. I haven't ran an all tank list in years because I can't help but put infantry into my list every time. Just love the way they look and play in a guard army.

You are absolutely correct! Thanks for letting me know. I'll get that corrected soon so I stop spreading false information 😬 whoopsy

eBay... which I'm sure is not great for the spare sponsons now that they aren't sold on their own anymore.

I do not. I haven't magnetized any of them beside the antennas. Maybe I should buy another one? 🤔

@@CadianSergeantSteel seems like. Then write it off for materials for a work project. Sounds legit to me.

Spikeybits and another channnel Eons of Battle have magnetizing tutorials on the Baneblade.

@@TK-yz3wt right on, thank you!

No, only terrain grants cover. This is the only guard vehicle that grants cover.

@@CadianSergeantSteel so vehicles don't obscure minis? lame

@@damnationdan5253 Vehicles block line of sight, so if a model is completely obscured, it can't be targeted (except by Indirect weapons). However, it doesn't grant cover unless the vehicle explicitly states so.

Where is that currently at in the rules? I couldn't find it in the rules commentary or core rules section.

@@CadianSergeantSteel You know GW Designers. They want to make such obscure rules easy to find. Page 4 of the Rules Commentary: "Deploying Units: When a unit is deployed, it is set up on the battlefield. If a rule specifies that a unit must be deployed wholly within a certain area (e.g. wholly within your deployment zone, or wholly within 6" of a battlefield edge), that unit must be set up wholly within that area (see Within and Wholly Within). If a model is so large that its base cannot physically be set up wholly within such an area, it must be set up so that it is touching your battlefield edge. During a turn in which such a large model is set up on the battlefield, that model’s unit cannot do any of the following: make a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move; Remain Stationary; make any attacks with ranged weapons; declare a charge. Some large models, typically Aircraft, have wings and other parts that extend significantly beyond their base. Such models can overhang a deployment zone if it is not possible to set them up otherwise, but when setting them up, their base must still be wholly within that deployment zone."

@@CadianSergeantSteel And it has to be YOUR battlefield edge so you can never get the advantage of coming on a side edge.

Thank you for that!

@@CadianSergeantSteel You're welcome. I came across the rule when I wanted to deploy a plastic Spartan Tank in reserve during that very brief period GW let Space Marines have them in 40K. The Spartan was like 6.5 inches at the sponson and even longer if you measured front to back.

Depends on the use case. For a melee focused opponent I 100% see where you're coming from but if you're fighting something like Tau, this could mean that once the baneblade is gone your opponent suddently has do deal with 30-40 infantry within close-combat / melta / flamer range. Not an insignificant problem

Not sure I follow. What is doing D6 +2 damage? Meltas?

@@CadianSergeantSteel You mentioned the Demise skill where the Baneblade explodes upon destruction which deals D6 +2 damage.

How did you get the 6x multiplier?

@@CadianSergeantSteel Isn't that what D6 means? You roll 6 dice so could have a maximum of 6 sixes which is 36.

No. D6 means you roll a single six-sided dice. Now if it said 6D6, that would mean roll 6 six-sided dice.
