It was once common practice for Stormblade to mount racks of [[Hellion Missile]]s to assist them in bringing down the heaviest of Titans, however after three Stormblades of the [[Phyressian 31st Heavy Tank Company]] were destroyed by their own missiles the weapons were withdrawn from service.{{Fn|1a}} Some Stormblades will mount a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]] and/or a [[pintle-mounted]] support weapon, either a [[Heavy Stubber]] or [[Storm Bolter]]. Others still will replace the sponson mounts for additional armor.{{Fn|2a}}
