I'm using a really old (1993) chaos dreadnought as a hellbrute in an 8e iron warriors army.

I have a salamander based space marine chapter that's about half primaris and half regular marine, and I swear it's ass deep to a titan with options to help plasma units survive by rerolling ones.

My poor hell brute has a plasma cannon and seems to have few options to reroll ones. Anything I missing tricks on how to save him from frying himself with his plasma cannon over and over again?

Chaos Lords supply the re-roll 1 aura, keep one within 6 inches of your hellbrute and you're fine. perhaps toss him on a bike?

I think so, it's just really amazing how many things in my sally based army have rerolls and my poor iron warriors don't.

Since the hellbrute plasma cannon does not instantly kill the hellbrute, just put a warpsmith next to him and repair the damage?

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Tried that. He is too big and keeps falling off. Or just flattening the bike

can always ally in a tzeetch herald or some TS units... they have a psypower that generates a re-roll once per turn if you dont wanna blow cmd pts.

You can buy dreadnought arms pretty easily on eBay - replace the plasma weapon.

I've got nearly every arm for that old dreadnaught and I only use two combinations, Las/Missile or Autocannon/claw. Everything else has been or seems bad in my meta.
