Mini Showcase: Dreadnought #2

A couple of weeks back I showed you my dreadnought #1 which is my close combat dread. It has a close combat weapon and heavy flamer besides the assault cannon to mow everything down that looks too scary.

But now I want to show you my other dreadnought that I use for ranged attacks. It has the twinlinked lascannons and missiles so it can strike from afar. It's a very mean killing machine that is able to knock out armour from a distance hiding behind some cover.

Mini Showcase: Predator Tank

Were getting to the bigger vehicles now with my Space Marine chapter. Today some pictures of my Predator Tank. I have put it together like this but I can swap the main weapon for the twin linked lascannon. It's just that this option is my personal favourite.

I don't have an airbrush and so this one is all hand painted. Painting armour is a lot easier and looks better if you spray it but I think this one turned out fine. I don't like the clean look anyway and so my vehicles may look a bit bumped and scratched. I also added a bit of mud to the tracks and body.

When you look at this model on the table you're eyes are automaticly drawn to all those red lenses and the gunner on top. I still have a little trouble with freehand and letters painting so the name banner could be done better.







Let me know what you think...

Mini Showcase Landspeeder

Click to enlarge
Well, that's a lot of fire power for such a small fragile vessel! Yes, let me start by admitting that the way this model is put together isn't legal going by the codex. It has an assault cannon,heavy bolter and cyclone missile pods but it can only have either the assault cannon OR the cyclone missile pods.
I made it like this so I can choose either weapon when I put my armylist together. Basicly I was too lazy to magnetize the weapons. So far I haven't had an opponent who made big deal of it.

Most of the time I use the missile pods option instead of the assault cannon and I prefer the heavy bolter instead of the heavy flamer so it doesn't have flamer. If I see what dammage this fast skimmer can do in a game I can only imagine what devasting effect it must have when you field a unit of three landspeeders. I love the fact that you can choose between Krak and Frag missiles so it makes the landspeeder very versatile.

 The only question I have is if I get  (a) re-roll to hit, (b)get 2 rolls to hit or (c)only get 1 roll to hit when I use the cyclone.It has two missile pods so I'm not sure if i should count it as twin linked, two weapons (like two sponsoons) or just as one weapon firing simultaineously. It's not completely clear to me when I read the codex and I have had several opponents all telling me different things so if there's someone who can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.
