Baneblade for an Imperial Commissar

So you’re an Imperial Commissar and you need a personal transport.

No way are you going to be happy with a Chimera or a Leman Russ, no you need the biggest and the best, you want a Baneblade super heavy tank.

This very nice Baneblade modified for an Imperial Commissar was on display at GamesDay 2007.

Plaguereaper of Nurgle

 Converting a Plaguereaper requires a fairly high degree of modelling skill (and a particularly sinister mind, judging by our model shown here). These bastions of pestilence pour forth their corrosive filth onto the enemy, drowning the foe in flesh and armour-eating pus and muck. In game terms, the Plaguereaper shares much in common with a Baneblade, exchanging the main gun for the vile pus cannon. This Strength 7, AP 3 template weapon can dig out almost any defender from any position, the torrent of filth murdering anything shy of a Terminator. The mental image of a Plaguereaper plying its trade on the frontlines is almost as unpleasant as the battlefield reality.

Imperial Guard Baneblade

Here is a photograph of a very clean Imperial Guard Baneblade from the display cabinets at GamesDay 2007.

There is a fair bit of weathering, note the rusty tracks and chipped paintwork, still looks a little too clean too me.
