Stackable Armour tm.
5 upright, the other 5 on their heads to get the shoulder in.
Lol! ?
It seems like even Blarg's enthusiasm for the idea is dying out, but I'd still like to see an attempt at a list where they can be transported if anyone can be bothered.
I think all of the other suggested changes, such as improving the armor or the FF rating are wrong and do not fix the real problem - the lack of mobility for the dreadnought. An improved armor save or firefight ability does not make the dreadnought go faster or allow detachments that are saddled with it to become more mobile outside of a Thunderhawk. I don't care if you give the dreadnought a 2+ reinforced armor save and a FF rating of 2+, I still don't think I would take it.
For the army list submission contest I was seriously going to do an Iron Hands army list. But with the background info showing that their commanders strive to become entombed in dreadnoughts (the ultimate expression of replacing the weak flesh with metal), dreadnoughts having a sever lack of mobility outside of T-Hawks, LC, & drop pods, and the Iron Hands not being noted for being an air-assault army, I've decide against it. As the rules stand the Iron Hands, even though being a mostly Codex Space Marine army, will not work.
The reason why I posted is to give some of the members here that don't normally post some further background on prior discussion and present another point of view.
The only thing lagging with me is my resolution to post anything on these forums...
