Editing Ballistus Dreadnought

[[File:Qkx8csHcMBGRzT1G.jpg|240px|right|thumb|The Primaris-fied version of the Mortis.]]
[[Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition]] gave us the flexible and versatile [[Redemptor Dreadnought]]. Then came [[Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition]] with the close-assault and choppy [[Brutalis Dreadnought]]. So as tradition dictates, [[Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition]] has arrived and we got a new and shiny Primaris Dreadnought. This Dreadnought is called the Ballistus Dreadnought, and it is the [[Dakka|polar opposite]] of the Brutalis.

==Overview==
Functioning similar to the older [[Dreadnought#Castraferrum Pattern|Hellfire variant of the Castraferrum]] or the more rare [[Deredeo Dreadnought]], which is a gun battery on legs. The Ballistus Dreadnought goes all into applying the biggest [[Dakka]] possible for a Primaris Chapter. Speaking of legs, they're slightly longer than its siblings.

The Ballistus Dreadnought like its sister-variants is built from the powerful Redemptor chassis, but it shares a loadout with Dreadnoughts from an earlier era. The combination of a twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s and a unique pattern of missile launcher called the [[Ballistus Missile Launcher]] allows for a devastating weapons platform that deals with both armoured and horde units; its tertiary dual twin-linked [[Storm Bolter]]s further provides additional covering fire for opponents trying to get in close. The Ballistus is a Space Marine classic, brought into the modern age just in time to blow holes in the larger [[Tyranid]] monsters.

==Crunch==
Crunchwise, on 10th Edition, these are the brand-new Dakkanought, as if the ability to re-roll to hit units at half-strength or higher isn't enough to show. At T10 W12 with a 2+ save, they're capable of taking a stray melta shot but not much beyond that. This dread comes in a classic Hellfire loadout, with one arm getting an A2 BS3+ S12 AP-3 D1+d6 lascannon, the other a missile launcher that can go between firing a decently-sized blast to handle mobs or a high-powered Krak to take care of light vehicles, and the only ''Twin-Linked'' weapon this thing gets, the Twin Storm Bolters.
