Either would manage it, armed as they are with superheavy guns.

Both of these are Superheavy Tanks (1000 tons+ each with crews in the double digits) fron the Warhammer 40,000 Universe.

The Shadowsword ices the AT-AT at a distance with one shot from its Volcano Laser....its designed to take out Titans which dwarf even the largest AT-AT. However the main gun is so large that it is hull mounted and lacks a wide field of fire, if the AT-AT's can flank the tank , then its definatly in danger

The Baneblade is shorter ranged , but its Mega-battle cannon is turret mounted. The AT-AT's will have the initial advantage of range , but will have trouble once the Baneblades open fire.

Both of these tanks are also studded with smaller turrets containing ant-personnel and anti-vehicle weapons

AT-ATs are about the size of a Reaver titan, but much less agile.

Of course, the Volcano Cannon can quite easily flatten a Reaver, if it hits in the right place.

In a fight between a Reaver and a Shadowsword, if one flanked the other, it would be utterly decisive. Imperial heavy tanks might have bloody thick armour, but it's weaker at the sides and the ass. I'd say that the Shadowsword has the advantage of range, the Volcano Cannon is one of the longest ranged weapons in the Epic game. It's a dedicated weapon for taking down battle vehicles exactly like the AT-AT.

The Baneblade would probably be outranged, if the AT-AT could stay at long range and hit it with it's full power barrage, it could probably slag the tank.
