Warhammer 40k: 98th Cadian Armoured Stormblade

Description
The Cadian 98th Armoured are a Cadian Armoured Regiment of the Astra Militarum. Cadia was a terrestrial Fortress World on the edge of the nebula known as the Eye of Terror. The planet was situated in an area of space known as the Cadian Gate, the only stable, permanent route into and out of the Eye of Terror large enough to allow the passage of battlefleets.

The Stormblade is an ancient Astra Militarum superheavy battle tank created as a distant relative to the legendary Baneblade, and by extension the Baneblade's sibling Shadowsword, sometime around the year 30,000 by the forge world of Ryza. The patterns for the Shadowsword were a closely guarded secret of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and as such, any other forge worlds that wished to capitalize on the sharp demand for titan-killers due to the prevalence of these war machines in the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy would have to manufacture subpar counterfeits. This prompted the engineers of Ryza to put their great skills in the development of plasma weaponry to good use and develop the Stormblade, in hopes of distributing it to many other less fortunate forge worlds as a budget Shadowsword alternative. rather than a volcano cannon, it is mounted with a Ryza-Pattern Plasma Blastgun typically found on Imperial Titans. While nowhere near as powerful as the Shadowsword's Volcano cannon, it fills a niche for armored companies that need a Titan-hunter with a low maintenance profile. This Stormblade was assigned to the Krieg 1st Heavy Tank Company.

Driver can elevate the main gun with operation mode, but cannot traverse it. Trying to traverse will automatically rotate the vehicle. The passenger operates the sponson guns. Enterable from the rear.
Hold left click for a second to charge a plasma shot. They have significant drop, so aim accordingly. You'll have to wait a while for the barrel to cool down before firing again. Recommended for direct-fire use at medium range.
Due to not possessing a Titan-class reactor, the Stormblade only carries enough battery power for 16 shots fired in pairs.
The armor is nigh impenetrable, but the rear is a significant weak spot.
K to activate cruise control.
