Dreadnought

[Purdy81]

A dred has 2 attacks as standard with one weapon arm and the dreadnought cc arm, if i replace the cc arm with a missile launcher does this have any effect on his number of cc attacks?

No it does not. The only thing that does is reduce his Strength back to 6, and he doesn't ignore armor saves. Otherwise the 2 attacks are kept.

A dreadnought has 2 base-attacks (on his stat-line); so with a single DCCW (a single fist or 'cc arm') he has two attacks. Replacing that single DCCW with a non-CC weapon (in your example, a missile rack) will not reduce the number of attacks he has: he'll still have two attacks, per his stat line.

 

The only things that do change are that he'll be at Str 6 (no longer Str 10) and no longer disallow armor saves when pounding on infantry.

 

EDIT: Seahawk types faster than me.

On a completely differnt topic, Ive heard that Assault Cannons are a better and more reliable choice over lascans even shooting at av14? is this true or should I ask in a different section?

Ask in the Tactica section. Math may say yes, but actual experience says not at all (in my case).
