        Whoa, whoa, back up. You're claiming the Stormblades were
good? We all considered them a big joke (though not anywhere near
as big as the Hellbore) Apart from it's one specialized use of
fighting tanks in dense, urban terrain, it was pretty pathetic
compared to the Stormhammer. More expensive by a good bit, only 50cm
range like the Stormhammer, and not that much more powerful on the
turn it fires its one-shots, and less powerful after.
