I built this after a long conversation about the lack of a space marine superheavy transport. It started its life as 2 Vindicator kits and 2 Razorback kits. I will publish a project article as soon as I track down the WIP pics. I still have not come up with a suitable name for the design but have decided to nickname this particular one "Widow's Kiss" as a pair of demolisher cannons is quite a powerful kiss to be blown at one's opponent and my "home-brewed" chapter of space marines is the Black Widows.
The Widow's Kiss has a troop capacity of 13, carries 2 demolisher cannons, 2 twin-linked lascannons, and 2 sponson mounted heavy bolters. It also mounts a pintle mounted stormbolter for good measure. I have been playing it as armor 13 13 10 and with standard BS of 4. As for point cost, I have been pricing it equal to a standard Baneblade to minimize argument (500 pts.) It is not worth that many points, but I have yet to have an opponent say that it is under-priced.
When I publish the WIP article, I will include a proposed datafax for it for review by visitors as well.
Good idea, and executed well.
