I might add a Contemptor down the line. They are such fantastic models.

But, on the assumption that they are about the same points-wise, Contemptors are great choices and really are superior to regular Dreadnoughts. You pay quite a bit for it, but it nonetheless gives you front AV 13, WS5, BS5, an extra attack (from memory), the 5+ invulnerable save against shooting attacks, and even more options than other Dreadnoughts. <br /><br />Unlike regular Dreadnoughts, Contemptors can fill the 'mixed' role quite a bit better due both to their boosted stats and increased durability. They aren't *as* worried about sitting at range or making it in combat depending on their weapon load-out. And plus, if you have one, a Contemptor Mortis is still great even with the points increase and drop to Ballistic Skill 4!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199060698563105464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-35213985396051297022013-11-21T08:00:05.824+11:002013-11-21T08:00:05.824+11:00Actually, Walkers and Monstrous Creatures both ign...Actually, Walkers and Monstrous Creatures both ignore the effects of Unwieldy.

My Iron Hands have two, and I was considering stuffing a third melee variant in there - I don't even know if you have access to their rules, just figured I'd ask!
