Well, I was planning on throwing them in drop pods.

Maybe it’s just sitting and watching the starting movie for DoW 1 once too many times but “dreadnaught crashes out of drop pod, guns roaring” is seriously about as iconic an image for 40k as I can think of.

Sir, that isn't the max number allowed. Please maximize your box dreads.

It's what? 3 to a talon? That means 12 in your primary detachment, and 3 in your allied detachment.

I'm considering a ZM style army, Box Dreads and infantry. So that'll be a Talon of the things plus 30 Mk IIIs.

I could toxx a talon of boxdreads, I guess. What are good loadouts? I have a couple of Black Reach ones which are... Multi-Melta/CCW, I think.

Up to you. I'm a firm believer in heavy flamers +CCW with an anti armour/multishot. In 8th twin autocannons are good as are twin lascannons. However in 8th stormbolters get significantly better.
There'll be plenty of dread gun arms available on the ebay.

7.5 ed rules tie you to charging what you shoot, and I think dreads got a big boost in 8th.

Is there a legal way to field a Macharius for Militia/Solars Aux or is it going to be Mechanicus-only under the "Using Imperial Units from other Forge World Books in Horus Heresy Games" rule?

If not, I guess I'm assuming it's left out because of the name which seems like a weird oversight (as discussed below, it's an M41 rename of a very old tank which is literally described as having been in the GC)? And an literal babby Stormlord would be really useful in the meta?

Casual 30k events are the greatest. Typically, they dont give out awards for best player. Just most boxdreads.
Winning Best Theme at NOVA just for daring to take box dreads is one of my proudest moments as a ham. It was in a dumb centurion event, but whatever, I'll loving take it.

Your compulsory HQ must be a dreadnought. Pick one upgreydd:
  • A vet tactic
  • Tank hunter
  • Super heavy command tank
  • Legion standard
  • Ciber familiar
Must be converted and modeled. If it dies you loose a VP, suckah. Box dreads become troops, contemptors become non compulsory troops. You loose a VP for each full unit destroyed.

no allied legions, must use dreads as compulsory troops, must have more dreads than other unit types, no centurion, final destination

Plas/las and a claw is solid. Multi-melta kind of needs a deep strike or outflank to work but could be good if you have a way to deal with the short range.

For mortis boxdreads autocannons or lascannons. I love my autocannon guy, he’s good anti air, shreds up rhinos and the like, and you don’t feel awful taking shots at infantry with him.

None - ZM tiles are known to be issue free. Any perceived defects are actually well within the manufacturing tolerances set by Forgeworld, including, but not limited to; gaping holes, pieces of mold attached to your objects of jewel-like wonder, haphazardly applied Green Stuff, stowaways attempting escape the impending post-Brexit apocalypse, nutty-butty residue, brown sauce spills, etc. etc. If you have a concern, please go gently caress yourself at your earliest convenience.

Thanks for choosing Forgeworld,
