So now that baseline Ironclads have 4 attacks, Contemptors seems like they wont be seeing a lot of punchy-time. You guys think we'll be seeing them updated for the A4 model, and if they dont, is anything other than a C-Mortis worth running?

Nah BA death company dreads with blood talons are still the best
Yes they may have 3 attacks base but they have:
I5 on the charge
Shred
NOT-unwieldy weapons
S10
Rage
Ignores crew shaken and crew stunned
Magna-grapple

All walkers ignore unwieldy so thats not a huge boost, on the charge Furioso have the edge. Getting vcharged theyre flat worse

Emailed fw and they said they will be changing all Contemptors to have 4 attacks, our club is also giving all other dreadnoughts 4 base too, orks, wolves, angels etc. Bar kills kans.

We could wait for a faq, but who has that long to wait for something that more than likely will never come.

we already house ruled +2 attacks on all Dreads

We just house-ruled all the dreads in the game to give them +2 attacks. It's going to happen eventually, just get ahead of the curve. Dreads are still a somewhat weak choice even with this buff, so it's not going to throw off game balance at all.
