Since the Dreadnaught is subject to infantry move rules does that mean it is also subject to the heavy weapon rule?
As in if I have a Melti and move in a turn I cant fire in the shoot phase

Walkers can move and fire all their weapons, regardless of how far they have moved.

"Walkers can move and fire all of their weapons, just like a stationary veichle"
BRB page 72 under the walkers and shooting section
Also see the chart on page 73

In short yes

And they can fire heavy weapons after moving because they have the Relentless rule, like all vehicles.

Not really. Vehicles are not Relentless, they just ignore the movement restrictions for Heavy and Rapid Fire Weapons. Slightly different, but not exactly the same.

Actually exactly the same, as the only vehicle allowed to assault, also may do so if the fired rapid fire or assault weapons. As long as there is nothing especially affecting units with the USR relentless, nos is right

They are both right; it is Functionally the same as relentless but not *Technically* relentless.

At any rate; what a model moves as holds no bearing on what it shoots as. Walkers have their own shooting rules that differ from infantry shooting rules. They may move like Infantry and are allowed to run like infantry, but they shoot like walkers.

They aren't technically the same thing. At this point, they're functionally the same, but that can always change. It is an important distinction to remember, as the next codex may have a special character that removes USRs from your opponent.

And they can fire when coming out of a Drop-Pod.

If you ever find yourself in that predicament B-Dizzle.

Makes sense,

Thanks for the information
