Dear Old-Timers,
I have this Dreadnought. I really like this model and I'd like to field it. I'm curious, though: what is the long weapon on the right side? I'm guessing a las-cannon... any help would be appreciated...
Cheers... Copeland

Old timers? More like ancient timers. I can't believe Games Workshop financially survived producing models like that!

That looks like the dreadnought is armed with a TL Heavy Bolter (they were smaller back then...) and possibly a conversion beamer.

Dear Whippersnapper,
May I positively ID this for you?
It is the Imperial Furibundus Class Destroyer Dreadnought, equipped with a storm bolter and a lascannon - known as Fury for short.
Now, it's past your bed time, you can play with it in the morning.
I'M RATHER DEFINATELY SURE FEMALE SPACE MARINES DEFINERTLEY DON'T EXIST.

Thanks, Grandpa! Please tell us about the good ol' days! Is it true that there used to be Space Biker Dwarves in the game and something called a "Gamemaster"? :P
PS I really appreciate the ID on the weaponry... heck, now I don't even have to say "Counts As" when I use the model...

Not to mention they were (if I remember correctly) robotic dreadnaughts. You had Fury, Chuck & Eddy classes (Furibundus, Contemptor & Deredo).

Naw, they were cyborgs then too. The pilot was inside the ball shaped upper torso, in a foetal position with a tap directly into his spinal column. Originally Posted by scadugenga

I loved the old school dreadnoughts. I think they have way more character then the boxy things they use now (which looked like they were ripped off from the movie 'silent running'). People liked to paint sharkmouths on the lower part of the ball shaped upper torso, like you'd see on WWII fighter planes.
