I really like dreadnoughts virtually as a lot because the CSMs do. Let’s put collectively a listing that may “walk” over the competitors.

I’m going to point out you a shell of a dreadnought listing that’s working round in my head.  It doesn’t assist that I received ahold of one of many new Plastic Leviathan Dreadnoughts blended with having to color just a few for a shopper.  Emperor’s Children will be loads of enjoyable in the event you go into it considering every mannequin could be a bit completely different cuz they imagine in being fancy.  But that isn’t why I’m penning this listing out – it’s as a result of I really like dreadnoughts too dang a lot.

On a Discord chat I frequent there was some dialogue if working Helbrutes have been value it in CSM and their variants.  The thought was simply having one thing within the backfield that might maintain an goal, throw out some firepower as wanted, and be a bit more durable to take away than say 10 Cultists or 5 Legionaries.  Beyond the mannequin being goofy it was simply the concept it’s mainly low-cost sufficient to be helpful.  Most of the time it’s the considered it being too sluggish however there are just a few completely different Legions that may assist that out.  Plus – it once more is one thing designed to take a seat in the direction of the again and hopefully not want a ton of supervision.  It does have CORE and it may possibly have respectable weapons blended with a pleasant little bit of counter punch.

Hello Chaos Leviathan

I’m additionally considering the Chaos Leviathan may be fairly respectable too because it has a 2+ armor save naturally and might have a reasonably annoying gun with the Grav-Flux Bombard – aka the great armor killer.  I believe going Volkite little tummy weapons is the best way to go. Plus with a brand new plastic package, a Leviathan isn’t too exhausting to get one thing cool and distinctive.  Yes it takes your CP however if you’re setting as much as go all automobiles then CP isn’t wanted as a lot.

But right here is the shell and that doesn’t have any Lord Discordants as a result of whereas they’re tremendous candy – they aren’t practically as wanted in the sort of listing.  I anticipate this to hit the center of the board and be as a lot of a nuisance as it may be.  I did go along with the latest type of up to date Dreadnought with the Venomcrawlers.  They are quick and might push into your enemies deployment zone shortly.  Plus relying on the combo of Legion you decide  they’ll get someplace in a rush as wanted.

Alright sufficient waxing poetic let’s get on with it.

Stomping to Victory

Again it’s actually depending on what Marks you wish to do in your Characters and thus your Helbrutes.  It is a disgrace we will’t add something to the Leviathans as a Mark of Tzeentch may make them annoying to chew via.  The concept right here is to hit the center and maintain it with a ton of beef.  The Exalted Champ plus Daemon Prince will let your common Helbrutes reroll 1’s to hit and 1’s to wound – hopefully pushing your Multi-Meltas up.  Everything else is simply there to get into the best way.
