What I can't understand is how people in general loves the Contemptor model dreadnought. Is like a pear, is so... generic sci-fi . It don't match Space Marines or Imperium aesthetics. The Leviathan one is a good upgrade, I like my dreadnoughts to be boxy.
Maybe I'm biased because I really really dislike the small head dreadnoughts. To me they all look stupid. I always use the tomb plate. It is suppose to be a mechanized-tomb of destruction, not a tiny marine inside a giant suit, and thats what it looks to me with the tiny marine head.
But I'll drop the dreadnought aesthetic discussion here.
Well you could say contemptor is the original dreadnought look so definining the imperium aesthetic.
Yeah, and Centurion armour has always been part of the Imperial Armoury
The Whasing Machine Dreadnought is a angry tomb with legs. Is Grimdark made robot. The Contemptor is a generic robot.
The Contemptor genuinely was around first though:

Yeah basically with list building you need to decide whether that one non-death guard unit is worth missing out on the Death Guard Strategems.
Alternatively, if you are taking a really mixed army, and your super expensive HQ has an ability that only affects DEATH GUARD then is it worth taking that HQ etc.

I think that will make it look even better!

Or take some other detachment. You could sacrifice 1 CP to get aux detachment.

Love these old pics...still have a Chaos version tucked away, armed with crab-claw and plasma gun... :-)
It's fairly amusing to watch all the different tastest regarding dreadnoughts (as well as other stuff of course). Personally I like both the oldschool and newer Contemptors, the standard Angry Washing Machine, and newfangled Primaris version. The ones I have a problem with are the various Venerable versions, especially the Space Wolf one, bleargh!
Go figure I guess...

Why is everyone automatically assuming the Redemptor is a new design? Maybe it's just what happens to a Castraferrum dread that undergoes the Primorphization Process?
Or maybe...
The Dreadnought
Brother Epathus felt stronger than ever before. He could run faster and jump higher than any normal Astartes. The transformation was a success! Or so he thought...
Within a few days of his emergence from the Primorphization Chamber he began to notice strange growths on his body. And his chiseled jawline began to look even more chiseled. Boxy even. Had something gone wrong?
Looking over the diagnostics, could it be? Dread swept over him. He hadn't been alone in the Primorphization Chamber that day! Something had snuck in with him! Something square. And angry...

GW is removing variety in T/save's and mostly using W counter as differentiate. Much like most rolls in 8th ed being 3+ to 5+ with 2+ and 6+ being rather rare.
Heavy tanks are now T8 pretty much uniformedly.
Bit odd. With S and T now being able to go over 10 one would have expected them to widen the range. Have we seen anybody with T11+ yet?
I do have to wonder how Mutilators fared in this. Not well I imagine but that is par for the course to be honest.

Plague Marines, Foetid Blight Drone and Poxwalkers are all there.
The Chaos Lord and Sorceror are probably just a Lord and Sorceror, with special names for the box game?

Wait...wait a minute. Obliterators fleshmetal guns have a max range of 24" with 2 random S/AP/D.....and their only movement 4". So, they obviously want you to play to the fluff and teleport them like eveytime, because who would take them in a Land-raider. Well at least they can advance and still shoot.
T4/W3/2+/5++, with S5 and 3 attack in melee for 65 pts. Eh....Havocs it is then.
