Hi guys,

Browsing the FW earlier, and came across the numerous dreads and stuff like that, and what a good load out system in 6th ed with the NEW codex \(^o^)/ for dreads, pods, and ICs with power field generators (4++ dreads, anyone?) I've heard that dual twin-linked auto cannons are really a lot better over the classic ML LC combo as you can make in the default box. Any help is useful including stuff from FW.

Cheers,

If you're dropping you dreadnought in with pods then melta and flamer weapons are handy. Otherwise the assault cannon is a great go-to weapon as it becomes even more effective when deployed in the flank or rear of enemy vehicles. Mortis autocannon dreads are best kept in your own lines to benefit from the longer ranged weaponry from The start of the game.

Contemptor Mortis dread with kheres assault cannons or TL LCs and a cyclone missile launcher. Good general shooting, with skyfire AND interceptor to enforce a nice no-fly zone on the table. Really it's the only dread worth taking now.
