Here is the rough lines for 50% visibility(by surface area)

First: the top, Blue line, is for any dreads with a gun-arm, it is slightly higher for 2 gun-arms; this is because weapon barrels do not count, but DCCWs should(they are not weapon barrels). For the 2-gun Dreads, the line should go across the bevel-line just above the Blue line.

The second, Purple line, would be for 2x DCCW dreads; since the Arms are not "Gun barrels", they would be hull and therefor are portion of overall visibility.

These are not exact measurements, just somewhat rough "eyeballs" to give a reference in game, exact situations will vary and you and your opponent will need to discuss/look, in-game, whether a Dread is obscured or not(If you cannot reach a consensus quickly, default to the Cover-1 rules for Contested Cover).

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.

Joey, I'm not lying, it's how I interpret the rules. Kind of like you interpret the rules to allow you to run and shoot. Of course it doesn't help that all my models also have a BS of 1...

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
