The Baneblade is the primary superheavy MBT of the Lineage Steel Legion. Planned to be voiced by Scott McNeil, reprising his Baneblade voice from Dawn of War

History
"Releasing eleven barrels of HELL! All Guardsmen, FOLLOW ME TO GLORY!"

—Kronus 1st Liberators Baneblade Tank Commander on his external Vox-caster

The Baneblade ranks among the most recognizable super-heavy tank of the Lineage Steel Legion, produced in the tens of thousands for service with the Excertus Imperialis all across the ever-expanding Legion.

The majority of Baneblades were produced on Gracias, and the Lords of the Red Planet hold the Gracias class vehicle as the inalienable iteration of the Machine God's vision and it galled them greatly that certain other Forge Worlds produced their own patterns.

To the untrained eye the differences between the vehicles appeared superficial, but the Tech-priests of Mars preached otherwise, furthering that many schisms that had developed between the various Forge Worlds throughout the final decades of the Great Crusade.

Regardless of its provenance, the Baneblade was a stately iron beast, its iconic turret-mounted Baneblade Cannon the bane of countless foes over the years. Its armor was nigh impenetrable and many of those in the service of the elite Solar Auxilia had been upgraded to the "Solar" sub-pattern and fitted with extensive exploration and survival equipment to allow operation in the most hostile of environments.

The Baneblade and its variants are amongst the oldest patterns of tanks still being used by the Lineage Steel Legion. It is rumored that in the past there were entire divisions of Baneblades in service to Aden but that number is severely diminished at present, like most of the more advanced technologies available to the Legion.

Every Baneblade made in the Legion is transcribed with its own unique serial number and name and all the records of each vehicle's service and accomplishments in combat are reverently recorded on the forge cities of that vehicle's construction.
