Forge World makes a Stormblade, but it just s its there (eating an entire sack of dicks) because it knows it will never be cool enough to have a sponson-mounted Battle Cannon. Potential drivers had to produce written proof that they were bad enough dudes to save the President before they'd even be considered. Your main gun was a Titan-grade Plasma Blastgun with a Hellion anti-Titan missile slung on the top.
The Stormblade was a second variant of the fixed-weapon hull, and proof of how incredibly fucking HUEG the old Epic fluff made the Baneblade chassis no fruity Lascannons for this one, the sponson weapons were a rack of missiles and a fucking Battle Cannon. The Shadowsword was one of two Titan-killing variants, armed with two Lascannons and some "Bolters" like the Baneblade, but with the rear hull built up to mount a fixed Volcano Cannon, a giant laser weapon normally mounted on Titans. Basically, you park it in a place and then forget about that place, since it is now Defended. 
This means this particular monster might have up to 24 Heavy Bolters (or alternately 12 bolt pistols) in addition to two turrets with two battle cannons each.
The Stormhammer was effectively a moving fortress, and the precise armament is hard to say given the odd way the game treated "Bolters " anything from an officer's Bolt Pistols to both a Leman Russ' Heavy Bolters was one attack die with the same stats. Fluff described the hull as the size of a city block.īeing a standard version, there were variants at that point, and only three: Despite obviously having a big gun on the lower hull, there was no representation of it in the tank's rules. This version was armed with a turret-mounted Battle Cannon (with the same stats as the one on the Leman Russ Battle Tank, despite the turret being the size of a Leman Russ), two Lascannons, and a bunch of dice worth of "Bolters" to deal with swarms. The Baneblade first appeared in the Space Marine edition of Epic, where it was the Imperial Guard's standard super-heavy tank (it says a lot about the universe that there's such a thing as a "standard" one).
