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]
As of M41, the Fellblade is all but unknown to the Adeptus Astartes and very few are still in service.[6]

Glaive
The Glaive Super-heavy Special Weapons Tank or Fellglaive, was a variant of the Fellblade, armed with a volkite carronade, designed to destroy xenos beasts and enemy light vehicles. Its primary weapon is so fearsome that the Techpriests of Mars only agreed with some acrimony to the Emperors demand that a tank be armed with it. Though all eighteen Legiones Astartes received limited quantities of Glaives, the Salamanders and Dark Angels were noted to operate them more regularly. Its rarity was because the Glaive was complicated to produce and staggeringly expensive.[4][5]
The Glaive first saw use against the Apex exo-Chthon which had previously proved a thorn in the Great Crusades side. Later they saw use against Orks and various other xenos monstrosities during the surrounding of the galactic core.[5]
