Also, as much as Vulkan is immortal, he never rejoins his legion in a fighting not-crazy state. So i dunno.
ON TOPIC - I'm glad those weapon options got pushed out so fast, further encouragement to grab a BaC box set. If plastic Mk III ever comes out, my Iron Warriors quickly become large enough to know the true meaning of acceptable losses

Spoiler:
As of the end of the book Deathfire, he is alive.
Also quite fond of the new bundles! May pick that boarding assault one up right quick!

The 'Legion' power armour sets weren't actually intended to be heresy specific, they were just updated sculpts with better poses and a bit more detail that initially replaced the original sculpts, the MkIV however was a *big* issue however: Among other things they completely changed the backpack from a copy of the 1st edition MkVI pack to a copy of the 1st edition MkVII pack, which had a lot of people spitting blood as it's kind of in your face as you watch your men advance across the table.. so they put the old sets back into production and released the newer sculpts with the first name they could think of.. which was 'legion'.

Haha damn it, as I was thinking about it, I was asking myself "I wonder what happened in that last book, where they try and retrieve him..."
I stand corrected, but i do agree it sucks that a Primarch died before the full extent of the heresy unfolded. I still wouldn't let it affect what i bring to that extent.
I am curious to see how Dorn turns out as a model, his rules do seem a little lack luster, and his "signature weapons" aren't nearly as cool as some of the other Primarchs'... he's essentially just a True-Scale Marine among baby marines.

Bah, you could always play Dorninan Heresy, which would still technically be 30K...........

I don't think it's a melta weapon, the exhausts on the barrels don't match up to those of existing melta weaponry. These are vertical, where as all other melta weapons have horizontal exhausts or whatever the official term is for those grooves in the barrel.
I think it's something along the lines of an autocannon or the likes myself.

So we've already got an autocannon-type weapon (the Leviathan storm cannon) and the Grav-flux bombard, so we could do with an anti light infantry weapon (or something for killing super-heavies).

I want one so bad for my Iron Warriors, and thankfully i hadn't seen one painted up yet. Now... i realize how much i REALLY want one. Also, Iron Circle models please? or at least some unique IW model. Although I guess IWs getting shafted is just FW's way of adhering to the fluff...
It can also be equipped with a phosphex mortar, which is a barrage weapon and therefore unusable in Zones Mortalis. It is definitely intended as a siege unit and not as a Zones Mortalis unit as the other Dreadnoughts are (especially the Castraferrum pattern).
