Yes. Forge World no longer sell the models since GW released their plastic superheavies but there is a Mars Pattern Shadowsword (it's the Epic Shadowsword FW still sell).

They made both W40k and Epic models for both a Mars pattern Baneblade:

And a Lucius pattern 'counterfeit' Baneblade:

The cheaper/nastier/more basic Lucius pattern has a more cluttered and rivetty look and is missing out many of the more advanced features of a true Mars pattern e.g. only the Mars using Rocket-propelled amunition, the Mars having a secondary Demolisher Cannon in the hull while the Lucius only has another battlecannon there, the Mars has better armour, transmission, comms, better everything basically.

The Forge World Imperial Armour books have loads of information and background on this and can be found online if you know where to look.

Ah, thanks. Do we know what pattern the Epic 40k Shadowsword model is? For some strange reason I really like the way it looks, at least in 6mm scale.

Not that I'm aware of; I think the practice of declaring new models to be particular patterns didn't come till later, from Forge World.

Which one? I believe the FW one is specifically Lucius, but the MkI and MkII GW models were never specified...
