Can a chaos dread have left and right twin linked autocannons?

**Regwon**

This should be in "You make da Call" not painting and modeling.

Sort answer, no.

**tipios**

Woops sorry.

Thanks for moving it to this forum.

Nope, but it can have a Missle Launcher and a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with Storm Bolter/Heavy Flamer.

**Limbo**

Don't know if there's much diffrence, but it's not a Storm Bolter, it's a twin-linked bolter

**Oshova**

Well I thought it was a combi-bolter. So that's 2 shots at over 12", 4 shots at under or equal to 12" . . . But then I don't play Chaos =p

Combi-bolter is the same as a Twin-Linked bolter. It gives you 1 shot over 12" and 2 shots up to 12" like a normal bolter, but it's twin-linked.

Oops, good catch.

I'd rather have a Twin-linked Bolter than a Storm-Bolter though.

Loyalist Space Marine Dreadnoughts (though I think only Post 5th ed Marine Codexes have this option) can have two Autocannons, that's likely what got you confused.

**Kommissar Kel**

loyalist had a similar option in 4th... if you had Imperial Armor 2: the Mortis Pattern Dread(2 missile launcher, 2 T-L ACs, 2 T-L Lascannons, or 2 T-L HBs)but that was DA only.

Funnily Enough DA can currently only get the missile launcher now(again unless IA2 is used); while Vanilla Marines are outfitted with their specialist Dreads

Thanks all for the response, I just wanted to make a chaos dread model with left and right autocannons, but as they would never have these I am not gona do it. Or does this not matter, if I make it will someone make some rules for it? I never play the game so I don't know how this works.

**Kommissar Kel**

Generally speaking; people don't get to just make their own rules for models.

That Said; 3 things can be done if you want to make the model.

1)You can always just make a model for the sake of making a model. You say you never play the game so this seems like the route you may want to go.

2) for Home/fun play(colloquially known as friendly games) you can always just make up rules for the model(suggestion would be to "cost" the second Autocannons @ 10 points; the difference between the cost for a second Dreadnaught Close Combat Weapon, and a twin-linked Auto Cannon, since you would be replacing the "Stock" DCCW)

3) In apocalypse games you could just use it as a Mortis Pattern Dread and have it "allied" to your base forces. If you feel the need for fluff just call it a dread piloted by one of "the Fallen" (Dark Angels that turned traitor during the Horus Heresy), which would satisfy the notation on the allies matrix that you would need a good fluff background for taking a loyalist unit with a chaos force.

Magnetize the arms and you can switch it out for a codex legal setup when you need in addition t being able to sport different options.
