Fellblade info and pics

[g-relk]

so, for my (sorta PH) Iron hands army i would like to make a fellblade. from my searching around i have found out that they are/were a baneblade variant (or prototype, the fluff conflicts a bit) used PH by most legions, and after the heresy almost exclusively by the chaos legions. the only picture i have found of one is this one from the warhammer CCG, and another in the horus heresy art book, but that shows less than the other one, which isnt that usefull really.

 

so, basically what i want to know is:

 

1: doe anyone have some more, or higher resolution pics of the fellblade

 

2: some more info on them ie armament

 

3: if the Iron Hands had any, and if they did, are there any names??

 

any and all help appreciated

 

cheers

remember those people who made that data sheet only knew as much about the Felblade as anyone else who'd seen that Horus Heresy card

 

 

to the best of my knowledge that has been no mentions anywhere else, information, other pictures nothing about the felblade

 

 

so i guess make ya own rules up for it :D PlasmaCannon sponsons woooo!

there is a picture from the horus heresy art books that shows the sponsons. i dont actually have it tho. can anyone take a picture of this part of the book only and PM or e-mail it to me.

 

if this is a breach of the forum rules, then sorry in advance.

 

rules wise (depending on what weapon they actually used) then ill prolly just field it as a normal bane-blade

i'm very sure the iron hands had fellblades. almost all legions had fellblades and since the iron hands are very fond of technology they most likely had some. fellblades are probably just like baneblades.

they were a precursor to the baneblade.

 

also, from the pic the weapons look similar to a modern baneblade. its just the sponsons i want to know about now.

 

conversion should be easy. same front, slightly differant turret (more rounded like in the pic), partially exposed tracks on the top, marine crew. tech it up to make it more iron hands-ish. wa-la, done.

did some digging: seems the fellblade was equipped with sponson mounted TL heavy bolters, two on each sponson, wiht one sponson on each side, hull mounted TL heavy bolters, hull mounted thunderer cannon, turret mounted fellblade cannon and co axial autocannon (or it may be a lascannon, not sure).
