Corrupted Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 So I haven't picked up anything 40k since 5th edition, but on a whim I picked up the 8th ed rulebook and DA codex. Given the rumors I heard about everything that was to be included in the book (Stormraven, contemptor dreads...) I was disappointed not to see the options for a mortis dread, or even a regular dread with double twin autocannons. Are there other resorced I'm missing?

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 You'll find the Mortis itself in the Forgeworld Index, and the autocannon dread options in the Imperial Index books. Codices currently only cover models (and their options) that are produced by GW, and since autocannons are not on the sprues, the option isn't in the codex.

Corrupted Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Does using models outside of the codex violate any of the 'Battle forged' restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatech Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just wanted to keep this convo going in regards to what people feel are good loadouts currently in 8th for Dreadnoughts. Ive been considering a rifleman ven dread but -1 AP doesnt feel that great to me on 8 shots.. am I wring to think this? I would argue myself in saying it feels to better synergize with grim resolve going with a dread camped in the back getting those rerolls of 1.. esentialy capatizing on not having any HQ babysitting the dread that starts to make sense points wise .. on teh other hand , moving up with a razorback and getting -1 to hit first round seems to be what I see everyone running. Any insights would be great. Currently im rocking 1 ven dread with 2 twin autocannons and a second mortis dread with 2 twin las Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Twin Lascannon are my go to for Dreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherChris Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm building Venerable Dread right now. Gonna arm him with Lascannons and missle launcher (it's a pity set doesn't contain the launcher though, so I have to find it somewhere). That's some serious fire support. Also if stationary, it's gonna hit almost always (2+ and grim resolve for rerolling 1s). Can't wait to test it out in combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bannockburn Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I love me some riflemen. Cheap, and often not perceived as a credible threat until they hose down light vehicles, monstrous creatures and infantry. The volume of shots is pretty great. My Leviathan is getting two Stormcannon arrays, too (and swapout options, but I expect to use this loadout most often). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G8Keeper Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 As an alternative I have been successful with the stock Dread of Assault Cannon and DCCW. It's ignored and so often survives to make it into assault, chewing up vehicles nicely (most of the time)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hantheman Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Forgeworld is your friend there, or some of the non-GW model sites do them. Can pick up stuff to make mortis pattern dreads too. I bought twin autocannosn, they've great, 4 shots, S7, -1, 2D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
