Damnnnnnn
I might just have to push pause on those boxes of Wulfen and Devastators I've been humhawing over.
That dread is an absolute unit. Definitely need that in the collection. It's no replacement for an axe and shield Wulfen dread tho.

I can see how they were trying to go with like a HIMARS look, but it did not work out at all.
Would have been cool to see them with just big javelin style ATGM launchers

Well thanks GW can't wait to essentially buy, build and paint another 3 redemptors with this new kit. Excited for the kit to come out solo so I can run 3 melee Dreads and 3 shooty Dreads. Also I'm on board that those Rocket launchers are some if the ugliest guns in the whole range.

Im not against the Missile dudes. Their space marines. I'm sure they are Recoiless rifles, and made of lightweight material. Nothing to worry about there. they do say they are indirect. And it looks like they have sensors on their backpacks. Hopefully they avoid the -1 to hit. And there looks like 3 different types of main missiles and then the Belt Fed.... yeah Belt Fed Missiles Sigh. K I have issues with this too.
The Dread however I love. With the dual Multi Meltas.. Id run them.
Guess Ill be saving more money now. Thanks GW.

I'm sure they are Recoiless rifles, and made of lightweight material. They can't be, or at least it would be insane for them to be. They (for some inexplicable reason) configured these things to be held like rifles, which means that if they were recoilless it would be ejecting countermass back directly into the firing marine's chest and face. The iconic configuration of the shoulder-fired missile isn't just because it's too heavy, it needs to have the back of the tube pointed safely over the firing soldier's shoulder.
There are so many things about these guys I dislike it feels like it would be pointless to list them all. I'm stunned GW decided this was better than a more conventional missile launcher.
Also, it's kinda funny that these new high tech missile guys have lost the one thing that historically justified the existence of missiles: the ability to switch payloads on the fly. One step forward two steps back I guess.

yeah two multi meltas, 4 storm bolters? on the fists and the stubber on top, they still have a nice amount of fire power for a close combat dread
