So correct me if I'm wrong, but is the rifleman dread back in action as some solid hotness now? It's what, 8 auto cannon shots s7 -2 yeah? Seems like a solid take again, thoughts?

**AnomanderRake**

Oh, absolutely. 136pts, eight S7/-2 shots at BS3+ with two damage? Great general-purpose fire support.

These are actually one of the few bright sides of the Grey Knights rules. I have two of these guys (one venerable) and I'm looking forward to them actually being useful.

**Melissia**

Yep. Looks it's mechwarrior time once more.

I agree. As long as you have other dedicated anti-tank (Missiles, Melta, and Las, etc, anything that can cause D6 damage) in your list, I think they are a good pick since they are generally okay at putting damage on both T7 (most vehicles) and T3-6 (infantry).

Now if only they'd release a Dreadnought with actual Autocannon arms we'd be set.

The ones for the anti-air turret thingy that come with the defense line are what i used and they look great.

Not sure where you are all getting -2 saves for Autocannon. I only see -1.
