An Imperial Hellhammer Super-Heavy Tank

The main difference between the Baneblade and the Hellhammer is the tanks main weapon, the Hellhammer replaces the Mega Battle Cannon of the Baneblade with a Hellhammer Cannon. The Hellhammer Cannon is a variation of the Battle Cannon commonly found on the Leman Russ main battle tank, it has a shorter barrel with special heavy-gauge suppressors built into it that fires extremely high calibre shells, this allows it to fire without ripping itself apart. The shells are designed to destroy armour and emplacements with an unstable sub-atomic charge.
