The Fellblade was a super heavy tank used by the Space Marines during the Great Crusade. Based on the same STC as the Baneblade and Deathhammer, it formed a mainstay of the Space Marine Legion heavy armored brigades during the Great Crusade.[1][3]
The Fellblade was most notable for its use of both Mechanicum atomantic arc-reactor technology and a reinforced metaplas alloy chassis superior to that of the Baneblade. It mounted an Accelerator Cannon as its primary weapon and would also take to the field equipped with a suite of secondary weapons: a demolisher cannon, sponson-mounted quad-lascannons or laser destroyers, hull-mounted twin-linked heavy flamers or heavy bolters, and a variety of pintle-mounted weapons.[3]
