Try here: http://www.zealot.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=396 In the downloads section, there is a section for movies and games. In THAT section, there is a section specifically for Warhammer 40,000, and Flarebaffled has created a very nice model of the baneblade (my all- time favorite beastie) from 3D model used in the Dawn of War computer game. It's very nicely done, and there are several other units there as well.
Keep in mind that the Baneblade is a big model at 28mm scale, and there's no super-easy version available. Flare's is better than the templates from the old issue of White Dwarf, however.
