Heavy Support

I prefer to paint man size GW models. Occasionally I'll paint a "monster" sized model but I just don't enjoy painting the large models, they take a very long time with my often intricate paint schemes. As an example see the one Landraider I have managed to complete. Consequently my heavy support choices used to consisted of heavy weapon toting infantry men for the majority of games I've played with my army.

Death Guard can not have many heavy weapons but Nurgle Renegades can. I painted more vehicles and plan to do more. I've also given rhinos their own page as I have painted three now. Although you can kinda field Plague Marine Havoc squads by maxing out plasma guns and blight launchers, their lack of guns that shoot over 24" is limiting. My total heavy support vehicle pool currently consists of: three dreadnoughts, one defiler, one landraider, and one predator.

Although from my collection you may infer that I think dreadnoughts are best, I don't, I think they are the cheapest, predators are probably the best heavy support option. Or they were at one point. I own many models that are NIB. I'm trying to move on to Chaos Undivided, so my unassembled still in the box predator may end up in a non-Nurgle color scheme. I fear I may have bought a second predator, I really should inventory my colleciton better. Dreadnoughts, especially with all the conversion possibilities are fun to paint though they are a lot of work, especially the Forgeworld ones of which I definitely have an unpainted and unassembled one.
