Gonna magnatise it i think, but the standard variant for me will be Contemptor with two Kheres assualt cannons and cyclone missile launcher= 240 pts.
10pts less than a landraider!
40k- Space marines(5000 pts) Imperial guard (3000 pts) Tau (3000 pts)
Epic 40k-Space marines/Imperial Guard(2000 pts)
Infinity Yu jing (Aprox 1000 pts)
Necromunda Escher
Mad capsules Avalanche
Blood bowl Skaven

I'm ok with it tbh, but i think it would always be a good idea to check with the opponent. The only forge world item i have is a grey knights dreadnought so the rules arn't actually any different, i just liked how it looked
Had a look at the rules, it can only take one assault cannon. It's possible to fit 2 as they can be used as either a left arm or right, but it would be an illegal build

its because of the cost that balances it out with ur comtenpetor drendnought u could have 2 standard ones for 105pts and u have 8 assualt shots but u do get double armour, bord control,combate potential

Tbh i think 2 standard dreadnaughts would be the way to go, it gives the enemy 2 big headaches rather than one.

Just assuming by the fact that forgeworld has loads of pictures with two assualt cannons that when the new imperial armour book with the proper rules is released it will be able to mount two(which is 30 sept or buy from games day early).
Plus like how it looks with two, though am tempted by that heavy conversion beamer. Will ask the guys tomorrow before i do get just to make sure it is a legal build.
Rather take this then two dreads as the model looks more imposing and think it would be a great distraction.

Yeah, thats why i want to magnetise it, against your D. eldar(and even mech eldar) would probably switch it up and take a cyclone and plasma/lascannon with c/com weapon, against tyranids/orks its gonna be two assault cannons all day and imp guard/space marines/chaos the heavy conversion beamer is a nice tank/troop killer if i sit it right back.
