What I never understood is why the Ultramarines were supposed to be “the” codex army with no variation from the codex (it’s what they’re famous for), then they have two different unit types which can “only” be taken by Ultramarines. Seems to me that it would make more sense for the Ultramarines special units to have appeared in a Chapter Approved instead of wasting valuable codex space on units that not every army will be able to field.

Oh Original Sultan, I’m sorry to see the Oriole’s logo go!

First of all, let me say that there is no reason this should be a separate unit from the Annihilator.

Yes there is. This one is red, and it looks awesome! I don’t play this game, but that photo is great.

@ joshx0rfz: Space Marines can still arm dreadnoughts with a dreadnought close combat weapon (which is a powerfist that does not strike last - pretty good in c.c.). The dread close combat weapon also has a built in storm bolter or flamer, so you get a little bit of extra shooting too.

Blood Angels can get Furioso dreadnoughts, which have 2 dreadnought close combat weapons. Blood Angels are therefore the only space marine army that has a ‘close combat specialist’ dreadnought.

Even though I quit playing Warhammer a long time ago, I still really enjoy reading about things like this. It’s interesting to see how the game is evolving (or devolving from what I hear about the latest edition).

Do space marines no longer get assault dreadnoughts?

Good stuff.
