Type: Tank (Unique)

Crew: Three Initiates and one Reclusiarch.

Weapons: The Necrons’ Bane is armed with a hull mounted Melta Cannon and a pair of sponson-mounted hurricane assault cannons.  Each hurricane assault cannon consists of three twin-linked assault cannons.

Melta Cannon: The melta cannon was designed to obliterate Necron constructs.  It launches modified demolisher cannon shells with melta bomb warheads.  The weapon has been proven to be extremely effective.  The melta cannon is str. 8, AP 1, 24” Range, Large Blast, Ordinance, and always rolls 2D6 when rolling for armor penetration.

Frag Assault Launchers: The front of the Necrons’ Bane is studded with explosive charges designed to hurl shrapnel at the enemy as the troops inside charge out.  Any unit that charges into close combat on the same turn as it disembarks from the Bane counts as having frag grenades.

Fire Points: None.

Access Points: The Necons’ Bane has a front assault ramp and two side hatches.

Transport: Without the generators required to power sponson lascannons, the Necrons’ Bane can transport more passengers than normal.  The Bane can carry up to 15 Space Marines in power armour or 8 Terminators.

Power of the Machine Spirit: Land Raiders are imbued with the Power of the Machine Spirit vehicle upgrade, and its cost is included in the vehicle’s points value.

Extra Armour: The Necrons’ Bane has the extra armour upgrade and its cost is included in the vehicle’s points value.

Blessed Hull: The Necrons’ Bane is a revered artifact and many Techmarines oversee it’s blessing before each engagement.  The Bane has the blessed hull upgrade and its cost is included in the vehicle’s points value.

Emperor’s Oration: The Reclusiarch within the chapel atop the Bane has the voice of the Emperor Himself.  Speaking with righteous fervor enough to stir the fire in any Brother’s heart, the Reclusiarch grants his unmatched zeal to all around him.  Black Templar units within 12” have a 4+ invulnerable save, Unmatched Zeal, Litanies of Hate, Preferred Enemy (Necrons), count as having crusader seals, and add +6 to the dice roll when rolling for the distance moved due to the Righteous Zeal special rule.
History: The Necrons’ Bane was developed after High Marshal Helbrecht’s first crusade to the Ghoul Stars encountered a sector dominated by three Necron tombworlds.

Used to punish the metal monstrosities and instil fervent hatred of the Necrons in the hearts of the Templars.  The cathedral adorning the top of the tank was salvaged from the remains of  a monastery within the fallen strike cruiser Marshal’s Sword.

The captured Necron is a grim reminder that none can withstand the fury of the Emperor and his crusading Black Templars; not even those that do not live.  Some have questioned the gruesome display as heresy, but the Brothers who have suffered at the hands of the Necrons view it as a holy display of devotion to the Emperor Himself.

Battle Cry: Ashes to ashes, Necrons to dust.
