Many forge worlds build their own variants of the STC Shadowsword design, armed with different weapons. It is believed the Stormblade, mounting a massive plasma blastgun to replace the Shadowsword’s volcano cannon, was first constructed on Ryza, where the ancient arts of plasma weaponry construction are still practiced, and elevated to masterpieces of Imperial technology. As well as its main weapon the Stormblade is also armed with turret-mounted lascannon and sponson-mounted heavy bolters, making it a fearsome opponent.
The Arkurian-pattern hull is perhaps the most common type of super-heavy hull across the many forge worlds capable of producing such technological marvels, although more conservative Priests of the Machine Cult view the rarer Mars-pattern hull as superior.
This is a complete multi-part resin kit which makes 1 Arkurian-pattern Stormblade, armed with the above-mentioned plasma blastgun, lascannon and heavy bolters. The kit includes a tank commander.
