Forgeworld Deredo Class Dreadnought - Got Dakka?

[Houghten]

I find two things interesting about it so far.

The first is that the autocannon are sold separately despite the experimental rules not giving you the option to swap them for anything or refrain from taking them, suggesting that the non-experimental rules will have more options. I'm hoping for a magna-melta array, though volkite stuff would also be really cool (except hot).

The second is the phrase "80mm plastic base." The base in the pictures is pretty clearly round, so it's not the Carnifex base from Deathstorm, and AFAIK no plastic kit yet released has an 80mm round base. I wonder what will be coming out from GW on that base?

Now to go run the maths and see if the autocannon array is better at obliterating Stormravens than a skyspear missile...

That might lessen the pain, I'd be interested to see it next to a marine.

I think it looks pretty awesome and nice rules for it too. I am curious to see what other weapon load outs come out for it but I'll certainly be getting one to bolster my Imperial Fists.

Looks like GW are really diversifying base sizes. About time, annoying trying to fit some models they decided to put on bases barely big enough to fit them.

Doh, should have hit the down arrow, ta.

It's HUGE!! Price tag doesn't seem so outrageous now... Sold.

[daboarder]

thats standard contemptor size Silver, inst it?

[Houghten]

Well, the bodies are the same size but the missile launcher adds a lot of height. I'm not sure if the legs are the same bits or not (edit: those toes are definitely different).

Ordered mine at Warhammer World, it'll be sent out Friday for no delivery cost, nice!

I certainly didn't get to see a sneak preview of one in the blisters and gawp at how massive its cannons actually are

Yep. Same height, but Deredo is far bulkier.

Now, I wonder what the Close Assault Dreadnought will look like? Furibundus pattern I reckon, seeing as they're using the old pattern names.

I like what they did with the feet. It lends to the story of how much firepower it unleashes that it needs extra support.
