Does anyone know what weapon configuration are the 3 SM Dreads in new blister pack? The Epic A rulebook states that SM dreads are either Assault Cannon + Power Fist or Lascannon + Missile Launcher.
Do you get 2 of first type and 1 of the second type?
Or all of the first? Or is the blister a random mixture?
What about the pic in the rulebook of SM dread with Multi-melta + Power Fist. Is that an old model? Or is that a chapter-specific variant in the same way as Land Raider Crusader?
Cheers
James

I think you can use any of the Dreadnaught models (new and old) as either of the two configurations.

Playing friendly games that won't be a problem.
But what about the main part of the question-
what do you actually get in the blister?
Thanks
James

If it's like the E40K blister, it will be random. But I ordered everything by part in those days ...

I suspect it might be like the Whirlwingd/hunter blister where you get the basic dread body + enough weapons to fit all dreads to either one of those weapon configs.
Cheers!

Thats what I am hoping.
I just wanted someone to be able to confirm it 100%.
I want a mixture of PF/ML armed dreads. If you don't get a mixture in blister then i will have to mail order the seprately. That means waiting until I have an order big enough to justify postage.
Cheers
James

I didnt think that you could mail order parts or individual minis. If you dont get a mixture, you may need to buy a couple of blisters to make it up, and sell the rest.

If G/W US ever reopens the Epic Archives ... you can order by part. But I plan on buying blisters of some E:A, and selling the extras, too.

You could also just use the extra bits for conversions guys...my goal is to have 100% of my razorbacks be just old rhinos converted.
I've used everything from 40k plasmaguns to 40k bolters to....
