The turret 'everywhere' look just fine!

My RSO Pattern Stormhammer looks ace!

Thanks to the LC sponsons, that front turret has about the same amount of mobility as the FW design.

**Alpharius**

...but the Coolness Factor!

You CANNOT discount the Coolness Factor!

**H.B.M.C.**

The coolness factor Alpha comes from the fact that you've managed to do what no GW studio made double-sponsoned Baneblade chassis has yet: You put the second set of sponsons on the right way around, facing the rear, as they should be.

**BrookM**

Actually, I think Andy Hoare did that with his Hellhammer IIRC.

**Alpharius**

I made sure it happened first!

Glory to the Twentieth!

Well he did that because Andy is an outstanding gentlement who never at all sometimes reads my posts and then makes fun of them over Facebook...

DEREDEO!

£35 for the frame.
£12 for the Carapace Launcher
£18 for the Arm Weapons

The Deredeo pattern Dreadnought is a dedicated heavy support frame, though it shares many core components and systems with the more general assault-based Contemptor class. Initially deployed in limited numbers to each of the Legions due to difficulties in its manufacture, its durability and firepower saw demand for the Deredeo pattern dramatically increase after the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

Mounted onto the carapace of the Deredeo pattern Dreadnought, the Aiolos missile launcher which, with its sophisticated targeting system, can track targets independently of the primary weapons system and regardless of intervening terrain.

One of the primary weapon systems the Deredeo can mount is the twin-linked Anvilus autocannon battery, a fearsome development of the autocannon that can engage and destroy armoured targets with a punishing salvo of fire.

**H.B.M.C.**

Oooooh... pretty.

And it's an Ultramarine!

**zedmeister**

It's appeared within the Heavy Support option for Crusade Armies. It also appears in the 40k section, so looks like it'll be a 40k usable unit as well.

**Azeroth133**

Some experimental rules would have been nice as well.

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah. I want to know what those Autocannons do.

**Looky Likey**

Looks like the missile launcher has independent fire and some variant of indirect fire, rather tasty.

**sockwithaticket**

Looks a little better with more angles and a decent paint job, but, nope, still doesn't work for me.

**Kirasu**

Im looking forward to 19 variations of this dreadedo

Yeah, and what other weapon options it has.

Plus - '80mm plastic base'? What else is on an 80mm?

**Johnson101**

I like it, looks far far better in these photos than in the leaks.
Really want to know the rules

**sonofruss**

Did everyone miss the Heavy Flamers under the body

**Voodoo_Chile**

Rules are here http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/D/Deredeo.pdf

**Crazyterran**

Eh, 185 pts for 4 shots with the main gun and a heavy bolter. BS5 is nice, but.. Eh.

35 pts for s6 ap3 3 shot carapace launcher that hits side armor and ignores line of sight. Decent for hunting thunderfire cannons, I suppose, and it'd make side armor 10 sad...

Unless you want another 6 contemptor army, the Sicarian is a better heavy support choice, imo. Same amount of points (220) gets you ceramite, a pair of lascannons, the sicarians main gun, schism of Mars and better rear armor. More mobility aswell.

I suppose the dodo has better bs and its hull heavy bolter is twin linked. Helical array is nice, but if you want a bird hunter, the stalker is cheaper.
Though. S8 means a lucky shot can id a marine commander... And I guess the 5+ invuln is good, too.

Eh, it might be passable. Maybe I'll get one to try out.

**H.B.M.C.**

Twin-Linked at BS5? Yikes...

**angelofvengeance**

Re-roll for AP? Sounds naughty..

Hell of an AA platform too. That'll shred any plane it looks at with Skyfire and Interceptor if it doesn't move.

I'm more interested in why GW makes 80mm round bases.

**Looky Likey**

The missile launcher seems better suited to meq sniping.

**Snrub**

Not too crash hot on the stomach mounted flamers, but on the whole, I like it.

Big, fat and squat. just like a mobile AA platform should be.

**Soo'Vah'Cha**

Now that is a gun platform dread!
ordering as we speak..er type.lol

Rules are very cool too!

Brother Gepard and Brother Zsu Zsu ...online soon

**Thanatos73**

I like it, I just wonder why anyone would put heavy flamers on a dedicated fire support platform? If you're close enough to use the heavy flamers I'd think it's not doing its job.
