Not knowing wether some body had discussed this issue in forum or not. Just think about this problem. When configuring a Dreadnought for fire support duty. Is it better to arm it with 2 TL autocannon or arm it with TL LC and a ML? I think usually the Hellfire Dreadnought have the advantage when shooting at mid to heavy armor like LR, or Necron Arks and Barges while being able to wound most MC on 2s and ignore their armor saves. Riflemen on the other hand are useless against AV13 or higher, wounding "usual" MCs on 3s but they still have 3+ armor saves, however it had doubled the number of shots. So which one is accutally the better one?
All kinds of ideas are welcomed. Thanks in advance

For all the hype, I've never seen Riflemen do anything but suck and die.

I prefer excelling at one thing to being poor at everything.

I think the ML works better on BS5 ven dreads. Although with chapter tactics and all the re-rolls, it’s not terrible on the basic one.

S7 is nice and all, but there are bigger, tougher things out there that need to get shot sometimes. And you can’t always get melta over there to do the job. I prefer Hellfires.

Price decrease on the TLLC makes me think it's probably better now than the rifledread

Mass S7 firepower is good but I think you can get something similar using a Skyhammer Storm Talon.
So my vote is TLLC & ML.

twin linked lascannon and powerfist, he now is a detrrent against deepstrike, and a long range tank cracker.
