Space Wolves Contemptor Dreadnought

[Fist17]

What are peoples experiences with using the Space Wolf Contemptor Dreadnought? I realise that walkers have taken a hit in this edition, but I am just curious as to any use people have found for them. I am currently making three of them, and am deciding on weapons loadout.

 

Thinking of making two with double DCCW, the other one with cyclone missile launcher and magnatized for other weapons options.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks.

I've been planning on getting one mainly for anti-walker useage, give him the Night Saga of the Iron Beast, plus two CC weapons with heavy flamers and a cyclone and you're set :yes:

 

Plus they look plain epic ;)

Russ Brother 92, is that the main use you see for them then? As a walker hunter? How about as a vehicle killer?

I'd use them for those two roles primarily - as they can tear apart vehicles so easily, with the cyclone they can either take out light vehicles from a distance whilst moving forwards OR use the cyclone and flamers to take out nearby hordes before engaging the enemy walker/vehicles.

 

A clear advantage to this is that they can stop that enemy dread from smashing into your normal GHs or precious WG, freeing them up to taking out normal guys and holding objectives. :)
