Theoretical UM List - Punchy Dreadnoughts

Recommended Posts

Hey all, inspired by Godfrey's list on here, I have a dream. That dream involves 3 multimelta contemptors and a leviathan running up the board and punching stuff, bolstered by the standard of Macragge Fight Club and the Warden of the Ancients for +2A each dread. The redemptors move up and delete pesky guard platoons. The vet squad shields the characters. Captain is primarily so the vets don't eat an elite slot, then sits home and prevents deepstrike close. Also, the dreads are obsec

My thoughts:

 

In theory seems like a lot of fun, I'm not sure what happens when stuff starts exploding or if I run into a buttload of AT.

Also, considering dropping tigurius as most stuff has a 5+ or better invul anyway and adding second techmarine handyman (I think I can take 2x master of the forge?]. With the extra points possibly adding another meatshield to the veteran squad.

2 techmarines marching with some victrix guard could really annoy your opponent.

 

You could consider deepstriking or outflanking some things to tie up long range AT.

 

Id keep Tigurius for the denials, and -1 to be hit. Throw it on some victrix. Also, null zone might become relevant. Your dreads might lose their 5++, but your enemies might lose a 3++.

I'm out of elite slots for the victrix, thus the veteran squad instead for the anti sniping.

Yeah, might of heroes and null zone is really the main reason for Tigurius.

 

Outflanking? One of those redemptors is going on a field trip!

This list looks hilarious. 5 walkers, with 2 healers. Guard for the characters, and Guilliman for rerolls.

 

The incursors and invictor should buy you some time to walk up the board.
