About this deal
Lay waste to enemy fortifications and pulverise whole squads of Astartes with salvos of shells spat from the hull-mounted demolisher cannon of the Vindicator Siege Tank. This plastic kit will fill out squadrons and bring ruin to your foes.*
Flamers are an obvious choice here, with the Mor Deythan executing a “Rhino Rush” in a vehicle which has used Scout to advance up, before deploying 5-7 of them and hosing down a unit. Plasma or similar is tempting as well, even if this makes Rending a bit moot.
Step 3. White Parts
Troops – Tactical Squad – Additional CCW, Artificer Armour/Melta Bomb/Power Fist Sergeant, Rhino w/ Dozer Blade Still, definitely worth a look, and you don’t need to modify an existing Storm Eagle dramatically as a model to run one of these (perhaps just use the Raven Guard special door kit?) This upgrade kit comprises five resin components, and is designed to be assembled with the MKIII Tactical Squad set, the MKIV Tactical Squad set, and Forge World miniatures clad in MKV armour, which are all sold separately. These components are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints. Ultramarines MKIII Shoulder Pads: December 17th, 2022
Contents: Kayvaan Shrike, Librarian in Phobos Armour, 10 Reivers, 2 Invictor Warsuits, 3 Eliminators, Raven Guard Transfer Sheets
Painting Raven Guard
To further defend your Dreadnought, you can discourage dangerous assault units with some units of sniper rifle-armed scouts in cover – these can be used to surround the model and prevent it from being charged, or used to control large areas of the table and prevent units deploying there. Fateful Descent gives you a bit of flexibility, giving 5+ cover on the turn a squad arrives by Deep Strike. The benefits are For Whom the Bell Tolls , which gives all Legiones Astartes (Raven Guard) the Preferred Enemy (Independent Characters) special rule. Remember this will work against the squad an enemy Independent Character is embedded in. This can be absolutely devastating when you combine it with high-quality shooting or close combat strikes. Similar to the Imperial Fists ones, these will be in resin but are pretty cool considering the starter sets and main sets will not have any type of legion-allegiance.
