Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Dreadnoughts – THE MUSICAL!

4 Minute Read

Goatboy here again with a list so stompy you have to sing and dance along with it. I proudly present  “Dreadnoughts – THE MUSICAL!”

In my hot mess I thought – why not do something to make Dreadnoughts better.  This of course got me thinking what kind of Dreadnought list I can make before the new Space Marine book comes out and shatters my little brain with some Dreadnought nonsense.  Well – you can blame all of that for the following pile of hotness that I call – DREADS THE MUSICAL!

I hear you like Dreadnoughts and want to see what you can throw together with the new points.  Well, this is a stompy list for you as I took the main leader Dreadnought we got out there – Bjorn and then added in a ton of other Dreadnoughts to create the perfect Dreadnought stew of meaty goodness.  We got a ton of boys locked into Plastisteel prisons of ultimate horror ready to wreck face for the Emperor.

Thus I present to you – DREADS THE MUSICAL!

Let’s SING & Dance (Atop Our Enemies’ Bodies)

There you go – we got a ton of dreadnoughts who love to punch stuff.  A ton of dreadnoughts that have guns too.  On top of the weird tall Dreadnought that doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere other than his point cost was the perfect amount to slot into this list.  Oh and we got a Tech Marine plus his helpers who can fix up his boys as they run around the table.  This army is designed to get into trouble, hopefully blow up a few times, and maybe keep your opponent locked in their zone.

Who needs tiny Marines when you can have tortured Marines driving giant robots of death and destruction?  I don’t know about you but why isn’t the Brutalis Dreadnought available for sale by itself?  Why can’t we have the giant chunky jerk of doom running around without having to buy a combo box full of overcosted nerf missile jerks?  It’s a shame – but this list isn’t.

Dance till you drop!
