<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? DA army because I have no non-named characters, I need another Tactical Squad and most of all because I love Dreadnoughts and I still haven't got one!
So, if I understood correctly, all the units in the box contain the same exact sprues I would find in their own boxes, which leads me to a question... What weapons are available in the Venerable Dreadnought box?
This is going to be my first magnetized model and I would really love to have all the weapons available for WYSIWYG.

For what I could gather:

Left arm:
Power fist w/ storm bolter (included)
Power fist w/ heavy flamer (included)
Missile launcher (Dreadnought kit)

Right arm:
Multi-melta (Black Reach or Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought)
Twin-linked autocannon
Twin-linked heavy bolter (Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought)
Twin-linked heavy flamer
Plasma cannon (included)
Assault cannon (included)
Twin-linked lascannon (included)

Equipment:
Smoke launchers (included)
Extra armour (Ironclad front plate)

Is everything right? I'll probably order the missing pieces from a bitz site as soon as I'm sure about it. Has anyone got any idea on how to represent extra armour?

Thank you guys very much! If anyone wants to post some full sprue pics they would be really appreciated! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548225.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548225.page GMT Re:Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons?
The missile launcher is included in the standard dreadnought box, so ask other SM players for a spare or order one from a bitz seller.
A Multi-melta is available in the form of the Assault on Black Reach (a starter set from 2 or 3 editions ago) dreadnought, but the... spoke? Spindel? Round plug on the arm which the weapon fits onto is a different size to the other dreadnoughts, so it's not easily changable.

The above are the only options available in plastic, all the others require either Forgeworld or kit-bashing / converting.

For the extra armour, I'd suggest an Ironclad front panel and magnetising it to make it swappable (DA can't take Ironclads, so there's less chance of confusion there).

Here are pics of the Ven Dread sprues:

EDIT: SW Venerable Dread comes with a multi-melta! It's probably easier to find and adapt than the Black Reach one...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548293.page GMT Re:Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? SW Dread had that option, that's pretty cool (looks to be the same kind of mounting as the other ven dread weapons), I'd only seen it made with the Helfrost thingy or the assault cannon.

I probably wouldn't bother with the heavy bolters (personal opinion), but the heavy flamers can make for a nasty combo with a drop pod (although slightly wastes the Ven's BS5). Twin Autocannons are also available for the left arm, and depending on how Forgeworld-y your group is, Mortis Dreadnoughts get even more ranged weapons for the left arm.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548314.page GMT Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8548409.page GMT Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8549303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8549303.page GMT Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons?

Just a quick (probably stupid) question: should I buy MKIV or MKV arms?
The only stupid question is the one not asked.

I'm not super sure, but I think the plastic dread chassis is the MKV, with the IV being the three-toed version on the FW site. Not sure if there's much of a difference, can anyone else confirm / deny?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8549374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8549374.page GMT Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? MM arm if you have a spare gun from an attack bike/land speeder. Just trim a little off the back and a touch of filing and it works.

FW MkV dread weapons are made to fit GW plastic dreads I guess they should fit the same way on a ven dread. Great advice Nevelon, unfortunately I don't have a MM lying around but I can find one (along with the heavy bolter) from the SW Dread. Anyway it's good to see magnets are not needed! I'll just use them to swap the front plate and the weapon under the CCW, and maybe for smoke launchers (though I might as well glue them on and simply ignore them if I don't need them).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8550781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8550781.page GMT Re:Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8551853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8551853.page GMT Venerable Dreadnought - Where to get all weapons? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8552330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685189/8552330.page GMT
