R-code Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If this has been covered, forgive me. Searching the terms "deathwing, dreadnought, venerable, plasma" on this forum don't exactly yield a narrow set of results. I was flipping through my LE Dark Angels codex and noticed there's a new plasma cannon-toting Dreadnought model hiding in the crowd on pages 79, 81, and 88. Does this mean there's a new Venerable Dread on the horizon? ~Mike~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271391-deathwing-venerable-dread-on-the-horizon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's been GW policy for a while now to exclude any conversion work from the army books because it can confuse and intimidate new players. ~Mike~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271391-deathwing-venerable-dread-on-the-horizon/#findComment-3306506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat860008a&prodId=prod630020a The current venerable dreadnought kit includes a plasma cannon, so I assume it's that model. In the photo in the codex I can see two additional parts from the upgrade sprues.

Here you can see the difference between the two. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/pueriexdeus/PlasmaDreads_zpsec0a459f.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271391-deathwing-venerable-dread-on-the-horizon/#findComment-3306520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It is simply the current GW Venerable Dreadnought kit with a single long vehicle banner hung on the front from the RW upgrade sprue. There is no new Dreadnought model coming.

R-code Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yep, I see it now. Foul on my part, go ahead and let this one drop. ~Mike~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271391-deathwing-venerable-dread-on-the-horizon/#findComment-3306551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
