space wolf Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 So I'm looking to buy a dreadnought. My question is which one would I get the most use out of. The redemptor seems solid, but so does the venerable. Moreover, if I get a venerable it's going to be a converted redemptor chassis (more realistic size profile). So I guess it would allow me to play it as either. But which is generally a better choice? BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I think I would go for Redemptor. While the BS/WS 2+ and 6+++ of the Ven Dread is nice, the Redemptor brings a lot of firepower and wounds for its points. My favoured layout is Macro Plasma Incinerator, Onslaught Gatling Cannon, 2 Stormbolters and an Icarus missile pod. However, optimal loadouts may change so magnets are your friend. Just as a side note, I am giving serious consideration to the Contemptor. 9W and a 5++ is pretty decent and it can carry a Multi-melta which seems to be the new black as far as 9th edition is concerned.

greatcrusade08 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 i like the idea of the 5++ of the contemptor too, between that and the -1 damage, it gives you a bit more table time Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Redemptors look way cooler and bring more pain . USNCenturion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNCenturion Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The plasma/onslaught/icarus/storm bolter redemptor is my favorite. I want to paint one red and slap a Swiss army logo on it, it’s that useful and adaptable. NKirkham24 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will keep good time, but wont take sides in battle phoenix01, psyduck, USNCenturion and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
