Fellblade
The Fellblade was a super heavy tank used by the Space Marines during the Great Crusade. Based upon the same STC that developed the Baneblade and Deathhammer, it formed a mainstay of the Legio Astartes 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. Its primary armament consisted of an Accelerator Cannon, though it also had a mixture of Laser Destroyers, Heavy Flamers, Havoc Launchers, Multi-Meltas, and Heavy Bolters as secondary armament.[3]

Glaive
The Glaive Super-heavy Special Weapons Tank is a variant of the Fellblade. Armed with a Volkite Carronade, it is designed to destroy Xenos beasts and enemy light vehicles. Though it has been issued to all eighteen Legiones Astartes in limited quantities, the Salamanders and Dark Angels are noted to operate them more regularly.[4]
