Fire Golem Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Laters FW bulletin: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BULLETIN_41.html It looks...weird. I'm assuming it'll be for 30k, it does look reminiscent of a Contemptor.

KJB Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Man, that looks, well, ludicrous... Big missile launcher? Check Bigger guns? Check Make the torso look like a boat?

helterskelter Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 In between a knight and a contemptor? Two twin linked accelerator autocannon? Chest mounted heavy bolter, twin linked. Daft cyclone missile launcher. I need to see the lower half to make a judgement coz if it has a teeeny little waist it's not gonna help its aesthetic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301133-new-dreadnaught-coming/#findComment-3903167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassWave Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Make the torso look like a boat? Check All aboard the H.M.S. Heresy! Jeez, of all the classic dread chassis to reinvent, they chose the wackiest. It's based on the old space crusade dread. I'll reserve my full opinion until I see the entire model.

m_r_parker Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'll reserve judgement until I see the whole model (could be something coming up for the HH Weekender) The large chest piece doesn't feel right, it protrudes far to much and feels top-heavy. I understand where they're coming from (taking their inspiration from the earlier models) , but perhaps some of these designs may have been left in the past for a reason... Now, the giant missile launcher on it's shoulders, now that's impressive!

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yep, its definately based of the Space Crusade dread: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CUyBmbDIGpQ/TOUmqe54CSI/AAAAAAAAAHw/3_2_BrLJ2FM/s320/IMG_3253.jpg http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/Blogs/AVE432GERD_1HTGERW43_41A.jpg I mean, just look at the chest-cavity mounted Heavy Bolter. Interestingly, there also seem to be some design cues from this dread: http://www.blacklibrary.com/Images/Product/DefaultBL/xlarge/gw-fulgrim.jpg Admittedly, I'm a little sad that this may kill off my Lucifer, if that's the designation FW gives the new Dread, but I kinda knew thus day would come *sniff* Anyway, its awesome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301133-new-dreadnaught-coming/#findComment-3903251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I love the weird shape. It's like a crazy siege Contemptor-Mortis. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301133-new-dreadnaught-coming/#findComment-3903253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think it looks baws. If its sub-knight size and doesnt take up an elites slot ill be getting two.

Moonstalker Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Lookin' good. I've always got a soft spot for dreadnoughts, and this one might be a good candidate for dethroning Contemptors as my favorite.

Fire Golem Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 They're gonna have to really pull it out the bag to make me prefer it over the Contemptor. I absolutely love the Contemptor. I didn't even like Dreads until it was released (the plastic GW Dreads are awful in my opinion), but now I isually have one (at least) in every list I write.

Noctem Cultor Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think its size is deceptive and is more likely just a Bulky Dread. Ironclad Contemptor Dreadnought themed to look Space Crusade like is my guess.

Slips Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Well rumors earlier in the year said we were getting a new dread that was bigger than a contemptor but smaller than a Knight. This is probably it. The same rumor also said we would be getting 1-2 new Flyers. Air Cav lists just got a little less stale it true. PLEASE BE THE STORM BIRD! I WANT TO DROP 50 MARINES ON SOMEONE AT SOME POINT!
