BROADSWORD FELLBLADE
The Fellblade is one of the most ancient war machines available to the forces of the Imperium. Much like its other heavily armed brethren the Fellblade bristles with potent weapons capable of laying low the most powerful of foes. However, what makes the Fellblade most dangerous is not its formidable guns or massive treads, it is that this hammer of mankind lies within the hands of the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines. Once a common sight along side the elite of the Emperor during the Great Crusades there are but a sacred few that remain to this day. Most of these are held by the original Legions and their successor Chapters. However, it is not unheard of to find a Fellblade in the armory of later Founding Space Marine chapters. Although rare such Fellblades are sometimes rediscovered during exploration, a conquest of war, or specifically built on Mars itself at the request of the Chapter Master. One such type is the variant known as the Broadsword.

POINTS: 550
The Broadsword Fellblade is incredible deadly at close range due to it preference for high velocity shells and flame weapons. It is also not uncommon to see this massive tank stripped of it sponsons to increase its speed. Originally designed to combat the light armored hordes of the Orks, in more recent times there has been a resurgence of its use to battle against the seemingly endless Tyranid swarm. Although such monstrous and slow engines of war are often frowned upon by the precise and direct tactics outlined in the Codex Astartes, there are few who will deny the sometimes dire need for big guns.
