sunspear Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I don't have the codex yet, I recently bought a betrayal at calth box and I was wondering about the contemptor dread. Is there a unit in the dex for them or do I need to use it as a helbrute? Suitably converted of course.

Panzer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The Helbrute is the only kind of Dreadnought in the Codex. For everything else you have to look at Forgeworld.

Aothaine Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Just want to say that Helbrutes are horribly underrated as well. They are boss with a Twin Lascannon and the fist or power scourge.

Panzer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yeah Helbrutes are pretty great. Just make sure you have multiple tanks/monsters in your list since while they're great, they can't survive the whole anti-tank shooting in your opponents army on their own. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347594-hellbrute-question/#findComment-5090349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunspear Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Cool, thanks for the info. Do people use the contemtpors as counts as helbrutes? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347594-hellbrute-question/#findComment-5090402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I've found they work well in multiples, but yeah they just evaporate under any kind of concentrated anti-tank fire, or even that from large squads of troops. They are basically comparable in terms of firepower and resiliancy to a squad of 10 chaos marines, but much more potent in melee if given one of their melee options.

shandwen Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Cool, thanks for the info. Do people use the contemtpors as counts as helbrutes? If anyone in your group uses any Forgeworld stuff that could get confusing, and for loyalists there is quite a difference between contemptors and regular dreads, but it could be done (conversion could do a lot here too).
