The Pike series are derivatives of the Broadsword superheavy tanks, and the roomy chassis created by sacrificing the turret allows each of them to mount weapons more commonly seen on cruiser-class landships.
The SHCA.17 A and B variants are dedicated hunters, carrying landship-class anti-armor weapons for neutralizing targets from ambush positions. The C and D variants fill an assault gun role, with shorter-ranged but devastating anti-fortification armament.
Some versions of the Pike minimize the secondary battery in favor of additional supplies and communications gear to increase operational range. These variants are often used as command vehicles rather than in an assault role.
The weapons and modular hull parts have magnet holes in case you want to swap weapons after assembly. You’ll need 3mm (⅛”) x 1mm and 5mm (¼”) x 1mm rare earth magnets if you choose to take advantage of them.

This kit includes the parts needed to build a Pike Superheavy Self-Propelled Gun with a variety of optional weapons.
There are four main gun types, and four options each for casemate and subturret weapons.
The side and upper/rear hulls are modular for easy swaps between loadouts, and the kit is compatible with the Pike and Palisade models.
The weapons have magnet holes in case you want to swap weapons after assembly. You’ll need 3mm (⅛”) x 1mm and 5mm (¼”) x 1mm rare earth magnets if you choose to take advantage of them.
This kit is presupported, but also includes unsupported STLs for those who want to print in FDM or would prefer to handle their own supports. If you do not require presupports, the original unsupported version of the Broadsword is still available and free, so get that one instead!
Supports for this model were provided by Yonathan Ho, who goes by Blunticulus on my discord (and elsewhere online). The Plasma Bombard was supported by me.
Due to the large size of some parts and the arrangement of them for optimal printing, the presupported objects may not be compatible with some smaller printers. An example of one of the largest objects in this set is 111x105x84mm.
