WH40k - Mortifactors - Hvy. Weapons Dreadnought WIP

He’s a 12 tonne, bad tempered, doom-laden son of a gun. But boy is he lethal at taking out unsuspecting enemy armour at 500 paces. It’s the searing Lascannon death that is the Mortifactors Heavy Weapons Dreadnought!

You can almost hear them cooking in their tanks…

Adeptus Arm Pitus

Alongside his sarcophagus entombed battle brother, the Assault Dreadnought, this fella brings a different kind of tactical option to the table for the Mortifactors in the form of a Missile Launcher and twin linked Lascannon.

That said, he’s no slouch in close combat and will happily take the opportunity to open up with his flamer given half the chance…

I wanted to try and add a greater sense of motion and dynamic with both Dreadnought conversions and so opted to position the arms raised or spread away from the body. This meant modelling in the power cabling to help ensure the positioning of the arms remained mechanically viable… 

Rules wise, this fella still operates as your standard twin linked Lascannon Dreadnought but the idea behind splitting the Lascannons, one to each arm, was to emphasise the more maverick, almost gun-slinger approach, this gnarly old fella took to sighting targets and blasting them into the warp…  

'No! Come back! We didn't mean it, honest...'

Well, stay tuned for even more Mortifactors WIP goodness. Lord knows what’ll rear it’s ritual skull helm next…?

Until next time ;)
