Basically, you park it in a place and then forget about that place, since it is now Defended. This means this particular monster might have up to 24 Heavy Bolters (or alternately 12 bolt pistols) in addition to two turrets with two battle cannons each.

Fluff described the hull as the size of a city block.īeing a standard version, there were variants at that point, and only three: Despite obviously having a big gun on the lower hull, there was no representation of it in the tank's rules. This version was armed with a turret-mounted Battle Cannon (with the same stats as the one on the Leman Russ Battle Tank, despite the turret being the size of a Leman Russ), two Lascannons, and a bunch of dice worth of 'Bolters' to deal with swarms. The Baneblade first appeared in the Space Marine edition of Epic, where it was the Imperial Guard's standard super-heavy tank (it says a lot about the universe that there's such a thing as a 'standard' one).
