Narse Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I saw this picture of the Decimator I believe this is the other weapon option, "Soul Burner Petard", and ah.... maybe a conversion beamer? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/decimator.jpg I have been debating Contemptor vs Decimator for a while now. Here's my final thoughts: Winner: Decimator. Reason 1: While the Contemptor is very efficient (both as a ranged transport buster, and a fleet/WS 5 melee unit with AV 13 to the front) the Decimator's Unholy Vigor + Daemonic Possession rules give it something like a Cover Save that the Contemptor always has. But, it can also get a Cover Save.... Reason 2: The Decimator as I would field it would be 2 Butcher Cannons, which would make a kick ass proxy for Grey Knight Riffleman style Dreadnoughts should I feel the need to run that codex.

Ethrion Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ooh that looks cool! Bodes well that there might be more weapon options available. Although I still think twin-storm lasers or the claw and butcher cannon is still the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 That left-arm cannon!!! Pewpew, go SAMUS! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 This picture has the Weapons Labeled I really hope that they make the Soulburner a more attractive option, because it's the gun arm I like the most. Maybe if I put a set of barrels in the end to make a gatling-style gun that could look like a butcher cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valek Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Tbh, it is very bad for its points, even worse than a normal dreadnought, bad ws and bs, armour is flimsy at best and it special rules are untrustworthy. Give me a contemptor for this every day. Ever seen what Tzeentch contemptor can do? hit on 2's and reroll the 1's that is pretty bad ass. I do love the model though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have to agree with Valek there. These guys are almost the same pointswise as a contemptor but miss out on a ton of stuff the contemptor has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
