3/5 stars. The result of putting psykers in dreadnoughts!
Background.
Strengths.
Rule of cool applies: psychic dreadnoughts for the win!
Alongside all the usual dreadnought upgrades, you also get to buy 1 psychic discipline and have a force sword that has reaping blow.
Weaknesses.
Costs lots of points already and you're only getting WP+1 and a force sword (which to be fair is very very good) compared to the baseline dreadnought which is why it gets 3/5 stars from me. It is over-costed. But it is still very cool!
Builds.
Osiron, Kheres Assault Cannon, Divination (235 points).
Dakka combined with preternatural foresight.
Dakka combined with preternatural foresight.
Osiron, Melta Cannon, Melta Gun, Telekinesis (250 points).
Why not? Because of the points cost is the likely answer here to be fair.
Osiron, Conversion Beam Cannon, Havoc Launcher, Pyromancy (235 points).
Lots of bits to play with. Not necessarily all overlapping though - NB.
This is one the XXth does in fact make use of, especially because to take the aether-fire Cannon and the blade. I do miss taking two of the melee options for a very slice and dice approach, and the lack of the +1 willpower makes it less of a contender compared to the Mhala Gal with a weapon skill 5 and also having the warpfire projector. In the end, having any unique dreadnought is enough of a fear factor for any opfor to reevaluate their plan of battle against the Hydra…
