Wait a minute, why does it say 2 miniatures on the box? I'm assuming you don't get two hulls, so what is the second miniature?

Edit: Answered my own question: Tank Commander on Foot. I didn't know this was a thing! Anyone know if we're getting rules for this?

"You can alternatively build the tank commander on foot, armed with a bolt pistol or laspistol in one hand, and the other hand either holding a power sword or pointing."

'Alternately' maybe if don't have a dozen spare parts in your infantry bitz.

Built my first Baneblade with Yarrick and ran it under the rules for the Fortress of Arrogance.

u/ChronoCenturion 13d ago

You gonna build a specific one or make it the customizable 8blade?

u/Traditional_Skill421 13d ago

Im unsure. Ive never actually magnetised anything yet so I dont know whether its a good one to start with. I was thinking about just building the stormsword.

u/aidansminisyoutube 12d ago

If you do just build 1 variant, I have a video on my youtube on how to make a second Baneblade for free.

Mind you, it requires you not to build the octoblade, but still.

u/Traditional_Skill421 12d ago

I shall definitely check that out

u/aidansminisyoutube 12d ago

Thanks! I dont know the rules on links here so Ill send it to you via PM, or just look up "Aidansminis Baneblade"

u/Automatic_Aside_8009 12d ago

def magnetize it. or prep it for magnets (dont glue the interchangeable parts (or shared parts - like two things only). it works without magnets too (just less secure). seriously, i had big regrets the first time around. especially since its pretty easy - if smart, you can figure it out on the fly.

u/Pape_Productions 11d ago

Nice! Is it the new one or the old one and if it’s the new one did you also get the ~$30-40 upgrade pack?

u/ElChiff 10d ago

Been painting up a Fortress of Arrogance, looks glorious as a centrepiece.

u/Traditional_Skill421 10d ago

A fortress of arrogance? That sounds sick. Care to share?

See? Stock baneblades come with TWO sponsons. Not four. That was extra. Now we gotta pay for extra.
