Contemptors vs Castra Ferrum Dreadnoughts for long range support

[Brother Sutek]

Last edition I added a few boxnought to my Death Guard and they were OK. This edition they have been great. I love not having to buy more things and just work on what I own. Finally using the old forge world autocannon arm s is also a plus.

I think mine Castras will be arriving sometime next week.  For sure I'm magnetizing, but one with dual las and the other with dual a/c is how I'll start (for lack of more lascannons).  Looking forward to giving them a test drive :D

So the new ones not stay on? I onw old dreads that the arms fit. Good idea if they dont.

[Lord Krungharr]

Oh well, maybe they'll just kinda friction-fit on.  Not sure if the ones I'm buying are glued or just mounted on (I'm guessing glued, but a thin-blade jeweler's saw will take care of that nicely).  

 

If I see more cheap this weekend I'll pick them up...I like the idea of each Legion having their own.

[Brother Sutek]

I do love them myself. Might go get some of the Legion specific.  I like them that much.

I ran a quad-las boxnaught at a five-game event this weekend. It was a really solid performer. Only died once and kept pew-pewing away throughout the weekend, killing dreadnoughts, the occasional vehicle and many, many terminators.

 

I think quad-las is definitely the way to go. So much of the scary stuff in heresy has 2+ saves and you really want to be able to deal with that. But las and missiles would be ok, as that large pinning blast could do useful things sometimes.
