Marshal Vespasian Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 So guys, forgeworld is doing a dreadnought sale this week where you get an arm for free (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/05/03/give-a-hand-to-your-gangs-and-dreadnoughts/) If I wanted to shell out for a Dread, look sexy in Black and maybe :cuss up some tanks: Cantmptor mortis with 4 lascannons or Leviathan with 2 storm cannons? What do you say? I know its just 13 bucks but something is screaming you are saving money! In my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Leviathan is sexy beast, and 2 storm cannons is a lot of dakka, but will be hampered by its range a bit. Mortis contemptors with lasweapons feel very good about themselves in 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 So its a question of what I think is more pretty basicly? I would like to run a pair of mortis contemptors to be honest. On the other hand the Leviathan does look great. Storm cannons are s7, yes? How do the fare vs leman russes and co? If I commit 3xx pts to a Leviathan there wont be a lot of points for other at left. (on the other hand I am still kind of turned on by a Sicaran venator... Could make for a nasty dynamoc duo those two) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Dual grav on a Leviathan sounds tasty as well, if you're willing to get stuck in close. Very versatile. Although guns that get Dx shots with no set base like 3Dx often disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well I mean the storm cannon array just looks :cussing awesome. I just feel like it will not be able to touch stuff above that goes above T7. On the other hand maybe this is the time in which I have to work on a dreanought list with 2-3 venerable dreadnoughts and the leviathan as gun platforms and a metric :cusston of footslogging crusaders as support. I think I'll play around in battlescribe as I go to bed. I also finished my terminators so I'm fixing to give those a run. At least this answers what I am going to buy next for my crusade as I was unsure how to proceed, I currently have a landspeeder on my workbench, which I should finish in the next few days and then its off to painting KT rogoue trader. The Leviathan would be a nice gift to myself for finishing uni this month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallRigaud Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Honestly I think either is a good option, personally I run a Lev woth Stormcannon and Grav, just because he looks cool. And the model is amazing, feels like the size a dreadnought should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Speaking of dreadnoughts, has anyone used mortis dreadnoughts? I have two extra dreadnought bodies and I was wondering what weapons to give them, lascannons are obviously top tier but what about heavy plasma cannons, missile launchers or assault cannons? I already have 2 Ven Dreads with lascannons and a razorback with lascannon so I was wondering some alternative loadout for a mortis dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Rifleman Dread with all autocannons is supposed to be quite strong I played around a bit: I could do 3*15 melee crusaders, 3*5 crusaders with lascannons plas plas, Leviathan, 2 lasmis Dreads, cptn sigislam, grimaldus, castellan with ToT, techmarine, EC is a possibility at 2k. Maybe instead of the Black Tide I could also do another 3 firesupport squads, remove Plasma from the fire Support squads ans give their swordbrethren stormbolter and then add in a drop pod full of swordbrethren. But I am not sure how I would feel about that, missing out on all that glorious melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
