I was looking on forge world for Autocannon arms for a Psyfleman dread and i noticed theyre only carrying the right arm version, not the left.
Is there any knowledge yall can give on this?
I havent been able to keep up with all the main stream lately due to school so if this was announced and i over looked it please forgive me!

I am fairly certain they'll be back soon, but the molds are having to be replaced for the left arm.

They're both still there:

I think they do phase things out eventually though.

There's two different Dreadnought Autocannon 'sets'.

The MK V is what's compatible with the plastic kit, while the MK IV is what is compatible with the Forge World Dreadnoughts.

Well does anyone have any ideas on what i should do for a psyfleman dread?

Which Dreadnought model are you working with?

Because they do have both autocannon arms in stock for the plastic kit.

The left arm, however, is not officially labeled "Left Arm".

It's labeled "Mk V Mortis Dreadnought Autocannon".

It's the "Space Marine Dreadnought" from GW. I thought it was for the Forge word variants only?

The GW Dreadnought is the Mark V, so buy arms that are labelled as Mark V. The FW Dreadnoughts are Mark IV, so use mark IV arms with them. Mark IV arms will fit on a mark V Dreadnought, but it looks little odd.

small pressings

Just to add a small side note, it is true, FW do seem to be dropping certain products. I was looking for some Death Korps of Krieg Commissars for a friend, and noticed that they weren't on the website for sale....well, at least not under the DKoK section.

I wondered if this was due to the Commissars being in direct competition with existing metal / finecast commissars on the GW website!?!?

they often remove stuff from the site when it is going to be out of stock for an extended period.

Nope.

The Death Korps Commissars are currently being repackaged, with all 3 Commissars(Drawing sword, pistol drawn to cap a coward, and Tank Commissar) being in a single item code.

They took the opportunity to repackage them into one product code when they had to redo the molds for Sword/Pistol Commissars.

.... what's a Psyfleman dread? Double psycannons?

Can you use the Aegis Defense Line guns? They're pretty popular, and you get some terrain too.

Double Autocannons + psybolt ammo.

It's a take on the "Rifleman" nickname with psy in there.

The Aegis lines seem to be popular, though for $25 apiece, I'd rather just build mine out of IG autocannons and be done with it.

Just to ask, as was pointed out above

The GW Dreadnought is the Mark V, so buy arms that are labelled as Mark V. The FW Dreadnoughts are Mark IV, so use mark IV arms with them. Mark IV arms will fit on a mark V Dreadnought, but it looks little odd.

How do the Mk V arms look on a Mk IV dread?

They look kinda small and uninspired, in my opinion.

Cheers Kan, guess that means converting them for My GK Dread

As fas as I know there has never been a left arm Mk4 Autocannon. Mk5 both arms yes, Mk4 just right arm.

If you like these, they are from Puppetwars "walker auto cannons"

The rounded shoulders and thin arms don't play well to the hard edges of the Dreadnought, but those autocannons are pretty awesome. I might have to get a set.

It'll be more ok if the color matches.

If not, how about these? just the weapons xD actually.... they look like the recent FW Tau stuff...

Arms are very nice! Agree with daedalus though on the shoulders...reminds me of warmachine jacks...ugh

What is that caterpillar thing? It's ridiculous and awesome.

Its from Zoids, name is Molga AA, it comes with 2 per box

I don't think you can easily get 4 autocannons for less then $25. Assuming you want the ones off the HW sprue, it only comes with 3 (right?) for $38. Bitz Barn doesn't have any, The Warstore has them for $12 (you need 2, so that's about the same price), they're $5 each on ebay (so, $23 shipped)... etc etc. If you get the Aegis, which is $23 shipped, you get all 4, they're appropriately sized for a Dreadnought, need minimal conversion, and come with scenery plus a weapon mount that accepts razorback\predator mounts, if you want to do a Tarantula or whatever. What other options are there? Because I'd really like to get a second set.

I guess that's a good point, but I started with IG and I have more HWS than common sense, so I might as well do something with all the excess autocannons.

Thank you!!!

I have been looking all over the palce for this to complete my Dread (I have one autocannon, just needed the second one)!

Thanks for all the comments guys. I think i can get some psyflemans built now

As another note, there's the aircraft autocannons which come in a pack of two and have the hardpoint mountings to be slung under a Vulture's wings.

With a bit of finnicking,I can't see it being too difficult to combine it with the standard Dreadnought arms and some plasticard to make something nice.

Thats too pricey and doesn't look much better than Aegis box set stuff. Which still has left over wall and stuff.
