The '''Stormsword''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] [[super-heavy vehicle]] based on the [[Shadowsword]]. Built specifically for sieges and street-fighting, the Stormword is gear towards providing troops close-quarter support with a variety of heavy weapons.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}

The Stormsword was first seen as originally a field conversion after of a salvaged Shadowsword super-heavy tank was salvaged, without its chassis; though such "unofficial" conversions are frowned upon by the conservative elements of the [[Volcano cannonAdeptus Mechanicus]]most Guard commanders take a more pragmatic view. To replace {{Fn|2a}} In place of the Shadowsword's [[Volcano cannon, ]] is a large [[Hellhammer cannon|Hellhammer siege gun]] was installedfiring rocket-propelled siege shells. As {{Fn|1}} While sufficiently powerful to level an entire building with a single shot, typically by destroying the ground floor and collapsing the Hellhammer has a much smaller structure, the weapon's limited range than and restricted elevation severely limits its utility on the Volcano, open battlefield.{{Fn|2a}}  The Stormsword's formidable secondary armaments are also geared towards the role close confines of the tank has changed from a street brawl: a coaxial [[TitanHeavy Bolter]] hunter to a building smasher, is supported by two sponson-mounted [[twin-linked]] Heavy Bolters atop which are turret-mounted [[Heavy Flamer]]s.{{Fn|2a}} Some Stormswords though replace their sponsons with extra armour plating. The Stormsword can also mount additional weapons such as the Hellhammer cannon is sufficiently powerful to flatten a building in [[Hunter-Killer Missile]] and/or a single shot[[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]]/[[Storm Bolter]]. As {{Fn|1}} While it remains a rare vehicle the Stormsword is often used at close quarters has earned its place within the Imperial Guard, leading the charge in cities, it has been modified with the addition heart of [[heavy bolter]]s intense city battles, and it is rumoured some [[flamerForge World]]s for anti-infantry usehave begun producing them in limited numbers.{{Fn|12a}}
