The Baneblade is the most complex super-heavy tank kit Games Workshop produces — 295 components, eight distinct variants, and seven different magnet sizes across its mounting points. Magnetizing it once turns one kit into every Baneblade pattern in the Astra Militarum arsenal: turret swaps for the main cannon and full sponson swaps along both sides of the hull.
Instead of gluing one loadout and hoping the meta does not shift next dataslate, you magnetize once and rotate freely between all eight super-heavy patterns before every game.
Baneblade Magnetization Video Guide
Our step-by-step video walkthrough covers every magnet placement from the interior track cavity to the main turret cradle. Watch it before you start so you know exactly what each step looks like.

Baneblade N52 Magnetization Kit
Our Baneblade N52 Magnetization Kit includes 68 precision-sized N52 neodymium magnets, custom-cut ferro-magnetic steel plates, and 3D-printed magnet support structures — every component needed to swap between all eight super-heavy variants from a single Games Workshop kit. Seven matched magnet sizes correspond to the turret cradle, sponson sockets, and hull weapon mounts so each connection sits flush and holds firmly.
With the kit installed, the main turret lifts off and clicks into place across all eight cannon options, and both sponsons swap independently between heavy bolters, lascannons, and twin-linked configurations. One built hull, every variant pattern, repeatable swaps before each game.

All 8 Baneblade Variants
With the kit installed, you can rotate between every super-heavy pattern from the same hull:
- Baneblade — The iconic super-heavy with twin-linked Battle Cannon and Demolisher Cannon
- Banehammer — Tremor Cannon for pinning infantry and slowing advances
- Banesword — Quake Cannon for long-range fire support
- Doomhammer — Magma Cannon for anti-armour and fortification work
- Hellhammer — Hellhammer Cannon for close-range engagements
- Shadowsword — Volcano Cannon for hunting enemy super-heavies and titanic units
- Stormlord — Vulcan Mega Bolter for sustained anti-infantry firepower
- Stormsword — Stormsword Siege Cannon for blasting fortifications and garrisoned units
Which Baneblade pattern earns its points changes with every balance update. Magnetizing the turret and sponsons means you adjust your super-heavy choice to the opponent, the mission, and the points budget without committing the kit to a single role.
Tank Tread Magnet Holders
If you are magnetizing the sponsons and hull weapons, do not overlook the track guards. The Tank Tread Magnet Holders are compatible with the Baneblade chassis and provide a clean, secure mount for the magnets along the track assemblies. They are a small add-on that makes a noticeable difference in how solid the final build feels during transport and gameplay.
