SIEGE DREADNOUGHT (v1.

0)

Some Space Marine Chapters have equipped their Dreadnought armoured

battle-brothers especially to take part in sieges and to lead the way during
assaults on fortified positions. Equipped with flamer weapons for clearing
bunkers and an assault drill arm for grinding through ferrocrete in a matter
of seconds. Once a hole has been created the arm’s in-built heavy flamer can
pour super-heated promethium into a bunker or pillbox to clear it of
defenders.

Siege Dreadnoughts are specialized equipped, and are only deployed when
the Chapter needs to break-through a static defence line or during heavy
street-to-street fighting.

SPECIAL RULES
Assault Drill with built in heavy flamer
The Dreadnought’s assault drill is designed to punch through rock and
reinforced ferrocrete, grinding its way through buildings, walls and bunkers.
Once penetrated the heavy flamer can unleash a torrent of flaming
promethium through the hole to incinerate those inside.
The assault drill acts like a normal Dreadnought close combat weapon. If it
used to attack a bunker or building, then roll 2D6 for penetration and add the
dice together. If the Dreadnought penetrates a bunker/pillbox/building it may
immediately make a heavy flamer attack against anybody inside (troops on
different level or in a different section of a large building cannot be
attacked). Anybody inside a bunker is hit automatically.

Heavy Flamer

Range: Template Str: 5 AP: 4 Type: Assault1

Inferno Cannon

Range: 24” Str: 6 AP: 4 Type: Heavy1, Template

When firing the Inferno cannon, designate a target unit and place the normal
flamer template so that it is at least partially over as many enemy members
as possible. The whole template must be in range and line of sight. Roll to
hit once, using the Dreadnought’s BS. If you hit, then all models partially or
wholly under the template are hit. If you miss, they are each hit on a roll of
4+.

The Dreadnought can only carry a limited amount of fuel for the Inferno
cannon. After each shot roll a D6, on a 1 the Dreadnought is out of fuel and
cannon fire its Inferno cannon again.

Wisdom of the Ancients

If the Chapter has the ‘Wisdom of the Ancients’ Trait the 0-1 restriction is
lifted, and Siege Dreadnoughts may be taken a Heavy Support choice as well
as an Elites choice.
