Old School Dreadnoughts



Above us is a picture of the orginal coloured page from the old Compendium showing eldar, Imperial(note Imperial not Marine) and Ork Dreadnoughts. Not Wraithlords, not Kill Kans, and Imperial Army Dreadnoughts. This was a first edition ruling and allowed for a much wider use of the Dreadnoughts. Major down side of this was that you got what came in the blister pack not what you wanted. The next 2 pictures are of the old Imperial Dreadnoughts, Chuck, Eddy and Fury. As I stated recently, and menationed them in a post, i couldn't remember what their full titles where so I photoed the pages from the Compendium and have put them up here for all to see. At the time of Rouge Trader you could field an Imperial Guard Army with Dreadnoughts a Rouge Trader contingent or a Marine army, but over the years the other 2 have been retconed out in sucessive editions of the game leaving only the Marine Dreadnoughts we know today.

The Ghost Warriors do actaully make it into the Compendium and I'll post those up next week, but they look a bit different than they do now.
