Rifleman Dreadnought


Just spotted this in my google reader.


Basically its a Space Marine Dreadnought with double autocannons. I'm guessing it's name comes from the Battletech RFL-3C Rifleman (itself based on the Macross defender)

Now after a quick search around the web I have realised that this is quite a popular modelling choice for Dreadnoughts however I have never felt so inspired by a model.

Funds permitting I am hoping to get add one to my Blood Angels soon (hey I realise its a Dark Angels only model but I just love the look of it). Maybe this is the time to throw some cash Forgeworlds way.

  1. Yeah, the nickname comes from the mech.

    It's a popular choice because of the 4 twin linked S7 shots, which is good for stunning light vehicles.

    It was originally a Dark Angel only forgeworld thing, however all the new books allow for the rifleman config, I believe.
