Stubbs:...I want to see towers of gleeming light, I would like to see our men on parade routes, not tours of duty, I would like to see every city turned to the service and industry of the Imperium in the EMPOROR's name!
Commissar: Yeah...and I would like to fuck a sister of battle!
Guys, they weren't misplaced, they went out to serve. They're off defending other places. Stubbs didn't lose a hundred baneblades, he got screwed out of having a hundred baneblades by bureaucracy.
100 Baneblades?! That makes no freaking sense at all. No Super-heavy company contains a hundered Baneblades, and it's not like they would send 18 companies to one campaign.
@opalen903 It is possible they are "Fake" Baneblades since it is possible to simply make a large tank with a lot of guns when you have a factory dedicated to war.
@opalen903 Or 500 space marines? This game had 5 companies (500 men) of Blood Ravens in it. 500 marines would be more than enough to obliterate the system. Yet somehow the imperial guard managed to wipe out half a chapter of space marines. This whole game was bullshit.
@Arkaeya Remember that Kaurava I is almost entirely covered by city. I wouldn't like to guess at its total population size, but it would have been capable of churning out a truly staggering number of men and tanks if fully turned over to wartime production.
@Stheno16 Perhaps, but still. Half a chapter? Eliphas can barely take on half the chapter in DoW 2 and he has the Black Legion AND a Great Unclean One supporting his cause. Yet Stubbs somehow forces his way into the heart of the Blood Raven stronghold. It just makes no sense. Very sloppy work on the designer's part.
@Arkaeya To my mind, it's because a Marine Company is essentially a self-contained blitzkrieg: its force is concentrated into a very small area, and the Chapter's Thunderhawks etc. can ensure that it can be wherever it needs to be on very short notice. This makes Marines truly excellent at decisive action and destroying enemy HQs, but they simply can't survive a battle of attrition.
Does anyone know what 100 Baneblades were doing on Kaurava (a non-Forge world) in the first place? It seems they might have been useful somewhere like, I don't know- the Cadian Gate or something.
What would be hilarious ''what idiot would put 100 baneblades in a warehouse and lose the key?'' ''Erm... A very big idiot sir'' ''Now, where are those 100 baneblades I requisitioned'' ''Yeah, now promise you won't be mad...''
"Unfortunately, sir, a shipment of 100 Baneblades had just gone out to service the the defects in the seat belts. The safety of our soldiers, after all, is our top priority......"
Vance Stubbs is so badass, that his power claws are his actual hands.
He may also have a Thunder Hammer as a penis, but there's no way to verify this because his harem of lovers, made up of the most beautiful women in the Imperium, were all too exhausted to make a comment when questioned.
Finally, Vance Stubbs once visited the Golden Throne, and upon seeing him, the Emperor stroked his chin and said "Finally! There's someone I can relate to!"
as it seems in this intro, Vance didn`t know about the shipment sent, he was a general but his most powerful weapon was taken without to notice, and from what the commissar says why i have the sentiment that they didn`t have any word to say when the baneblades were taken?
who could be the fool who would take the only advantage of the imperial guard stationed there?
it was a conservator regiment (more than a half destroyed) against 8 other armies,with only their stronghold left and their mission is to defeat the rest of the armies, i can`t see a more desperate situation than this
other thing 100 baneblades? if they would keep only 10, no,only 5 and there would be no worry of being defeated. I would ask in return for a few more guardsmen or some tanks... something
So there I was typing on my laptop when I heard a rumbling sound. I deduced that it was coming from behind my monitor so I looked behind only to have a fething BANEBLADE appear out of nowhere and crush my desk. How the hell did a 300 ton tank get inside my room without me knowing? Pulling that off must have taken one hell of a Tactical Geni- CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!
my opinion was to wait a little longer and build 2 or 3 baneblades (earlier he had 100, seriously now) and then he could do short work with almost every army
if the imperial guard stronghold is the first attacked is the first stronghold you attack it will be almost impossible to win because Stubbs throw almost everything he have to slow you and to have time to construct a baneblade, and with that canon near you his plan works good, when a baneblade is constructed , it will sometimes be accompanied with infantry or another vehicle, if you dont have some artillery or your supreme unit early in this mission you can retreat
@iZallen A very good reason that Guardsmen don't use Bolters is because the recoil would break your arms and wrists. They're also expensive. Flashlights are easy to produce in their millions. The bolt pistols that officers in the IG use are scaled down versions of the larger Astartes pattern Bolters. At the very least, a Bolter's kickback will knock you off your feet. Lasguns actually pack the punch of a .30 cal weapon, capable of blowing off limbs but everything else is so goddamned powerful.
Imperial Guardsmen, brothers. Today we stand against the enemies of the Emperor. The heretics and the daemons, the aliens and the beasts. Here we make our stand. Here, we will show the true might of the Emperor's glory.Then brothers, will you stand with me? When all hope seems lost, when the end of time seems to crash down around you, when it seems that life is no longer and option, will you stand up? Brothers, sisters, GUARDSMEN! Let us stand and face the coming darkness. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!
This commissar is talking with Vance as he would be a retarted. "Very good, General!" Like he would say: "Good boy!" And poor morale on the front, good in the middle? Same casualty? Poor on the front, good on the middle? With death-lovin' morale like that, commissars wouldn't be needed.
@xxlCortez ...what? Dude, "Very good, (insert name here)" is just a way of saying "I understand." It's literally just a (usually UK) variant of "Very well."
@xxlCortez You don't even need to have ever been to the UK. Pretty much any modern media that features an English butler, English soldiers, etc, uses the phrase. It's pretty common knowledge.
Cadia has no real world analogy, the entire planet is a fortress due to the fact that it shares a border with the Eye Of Terror, one of the most dangerous places in the universe. 90% of it's economy is devoted to war, and all citizens must join the Cadian guard. If anything Cadia has more in common with Cold War era West Germany or modern day South Korea in the sense that it's a militarized country that borders a warlike neighbor.
@whyyoumadbrah Will, you do have a point, but it does effect all of the guard. But you know, they are called shock troopers, as the germans called the Canadians during WW1. During that war Canada won pretty historic battles, when all others failed. Also the names are pretty similar. Don't you agree?
@503leafy 100 Baneblades is almost like a Chapter's worth of Space Marines - tactically, quite different, but strategically they would be about as effective.
Which begs the question... HOW DO YOU MISPLACE 100 BANEBLADES?!
@Rototornik Telling you nothing, you're simply drawing your own conclusions.
And, they're Space Marines, they'll figure something out. Seriously, compared to Average Joe Guardsman, the biggest problem is reworking the inside to fit a pair of Battle-Brothers to drive and shoot. Maybe they could use Chapter Serfs?
And Ammo? Did you miss the part where every Astartes is given a Bolter, in spite of Bolt Rounds being expensive as hell?
@Nehfarius Why is everyone always blaming Creed? I mean, it's not like the man is busy defending the bloody Cadian Gate against a bloody Black Crusade or anything - what could he possibly be using one hundred Baneblades for? Besides, getting them to the Gothic Sector from the other side of the galaxy, that must take some kind of logistical geni-
CREEEEEE-waitaminute. "Logistical"? Does the Imperium even *have* logistics, beyond shipping stuff at random?
100 Baneblades, seems reasonable, thats about 10 super heavy companies. In a game that is a battle over an entire star system. There have been greater engagements in the 41st millennial with over eight thousand tank COMPANIES and THIRTY FIRE super heavy tank detachments.
And these were merely the ones annihilated during the near total destruction of a renegade Titan Legio.
Makeshift jury rigged versions they could. With enough Bassiliks and Leman Russ tanks. They should be able to produce enough materials for makeshift versions. Won't last a moment against a real Baneblane but it will give them the advantage of quantity.
The vast majority are produced in the sacred forges of Mars, with a select few other Forge Worlds granted the right to build it or one of its variants. Every Baneblade bears its own identity number and name.
@jarms48a I seem to recall some fluff somewhere (it may refer to some other Super Heavy) that said that the STC was lost and that most were infact repicas. I apoligise if I have misread something somewhere.
@FillianJPruscht you are somewhat right many of the specialist baneblades STC's have been lost. With those rare baneblades being replaced by the more common and more available Standard mars pattern. Many Forge Worlds partition for the STC for the standard Baneblade pattern and many get it as the demand for them is endless.
And for the Forge Worlds that can not build them are given rights to second generation baneblades such as the ancient Malcador or the Macharius or sometimes both.
@TheLionHeart1991 From what I can understand from the plot. The sisters see the other ranks as 'lesser' troops and would rather burn them then work together. The Space Marines think they have the best plans and the IG just want everyone else to step off and let their army be the one to reclaim the planet.
In short their just three big, whiny children when not getting their way.
Most likely mothballed stuff, jury rigged from an outdated chassis and brought out to use. Probably relying on other mechanical parts to make up for it. The notion of a several "Baneblades" out on the field will serve as an intimidation. At least until they actually fight and it is proven to be as effective as several leman russ tanks.
Holy crap. An Imperial commander who wants peace?! Vance mutherfucking Stubbs is incredible!

100 Baneblades, seems reasonable, thats about 10 super heavy companies. In a game that is a battle over an entire star system. There have been greater engagements in the 41st millennial with over eight thousand tank COMPANIES and THIRTY FIRE super heavy tank detachments.
And these were merely the ones annihilated during the near total destruction of a renegade Titan Legio.

100 baneblades...!!!! A super-heavy regiment only contains about 12...
The Imperium can't commit that many. They can't even make real baneblades anymore...

Makeshift jury rigged versions they could. With enough Bassiliks and Leman Russ tanks. They should be able to produce enough materials for makeshift versions. Won't last a moment against a real Baneblane but it will give them the advantage of quantity.
asaqe3 10 months ago
@FillianJPruscht Yes they can.
The vast majority are produced in the sacred forges of Mars, with a select few other Forge Worlds granted the right to build it or one of its variants. Every Baneblade bears its own identity number and name.
jarms48a 9 months ago
@jarms48a I seem to recall some fluff somewhere (it may refer to some other Super Heavy) that said that the STC was lost and that most were infact repicas. I apoligise if I have misread something somewhere.
FillianJPruscht 9 months ago
@FillianJPruscht you are somewhat right many of the specialist baneblades STC's have been lost. With those rare baneblades being replaced by the more common and more available Standard mars pattern. Many Forge Worlds partition for the STC for the standard Baneblade pattern and many get it as the demand for them is endless.
And for the Forge Worlds that can not build them are given rights to second generation baneblades such as the ancient Malcador or the Macharius or sometimes both.

Why the space marines, imperial guards, and the sisterhood fight each while serving the same god emperor?
TheLionHeart1991 11 months ago
@TheLionHeart1991 From what I can understand from the plot. The sisters see the other ranks as 'lesser' troops and would rather burn them then work together. The Space Marines think they have the best plans and the IG just want everyone else to step off and let their army be the one to reclaim the planet.
In short their just three big, whiny children when not getting their way.

Most likely mothballed stuff, jury rigged from an outdated chassis and brought out to use. Probably relying on other mechanical parts to make up for it. The notion of a several "Baneblades" out on the field will serve as an intimidation. At least until they actually fight and it is proven to be as effective as several leman russ tanks.
