In which case, give it two kinds of shells, one which uses the Baneblade template with higher strength and one which uses orbital bombardment.

Hmmm...

Range: 36'-72' Becomes barrage without line of sight.
Speed: lumbering. May not move and fire ordnance, may not fire next shooting phase as troopers reloading (may fire turn after that) May move while reloading. The *insert name here* cannon has a limited supply of ammunition for the *orbital bombardment template rounds*, every time a shot is fired roll a d6, on a roll of 1 the gun has depleted its stock of these shells and must revert to the other type.

Special Rule: Zeroing in. At the start of the game, before deployment. Choose (1 or 2?) terrain pieces, buildings or landmarks. Any shots aimed within 12' of these do not scatter. Between 12' and 18' scatter D3 inches instead of D6

So basicly, it`ll fire twice a game and it`ll make your oponent reconsider using cover

Interesting.

Hmmm, Thor would be a very good name for the mortar. There was one named that, I think it was 54cm mortar.

as for the rules side of this SOB, why not use the bom,bard rules? just use the model as count as?

unless of course, you are throughtly set on using your own VDR rules. if so, i dont blame ya one bit! something like this deserves its own rules, however, if your oponent is a rules *****. then simply use it as a count as bombard, Jd, job done.

I'm pretty sure I ought to VDR it b/c of the size of the gun, its way bigger than any bombard. but I see what you're saying

I have 15 Grenadiers that I'll be starting after the line infantry is done. Which will be after the tanks are done. So it might be a little bit before I get to them. My plan right now is to use January as Tank/Isenblut month, February as painting competition- Lord Field Marshall SvH and Infantry/Isenherz month and then I should be in a good position to finish the rest of the army befor the winter is over. I'll be working sporadically on my trenches through out this time so watch those as well.

One of my friends actually has one of those that he's working into his Grey Knights Demonhunters army as Inquisitorial Krieg. If hes willing to let me borrow it when we play I'll have a squad of three, a Baneblade and the SHSPS Mortar as my Super Heavies.
