Hammer of Vostroya
Hammer of Vostroya was a Baneblade in service with the Vostroyan 39th Armoured Regiment.[1]
Hammer of Vostroya was instrumental in putting down an uprising on the planet Obsus Prima, both bolstering the Imperial defenders' morale and holding key defensive points around the planet's main plasma reactor from attacks by Chaos Cultists, the Iron Warriors and the Knights of Blood. It was eventually destroyed by a Lord of Skulls but, as it was being hacked apart by the Daemon Engine's cleaver, Hammer of Vostroya's power plant exploded, destroying the Lord of Skulls along with most of the remaining Chaos forces. In the aftermath of the fighting, the reactor complex's tech-priests salvaged whatever fragments of the tank they could find, seeking to honour it and its crew.[1]
