Default My third Dreadnought

While reviewing my army list last night I realized I was lacking in the anti-vehicle department. I had a lot of AI, but only a little AV.

So, I took a look at my command squad and realized they were just another AI force that was gimping my Librarian and Commander, and removed them from my list.

After a few more slight modifications, I had about 140 points to toy with. After some consideration, I finally decided on another Dreadnought.

Because I have two Dreadnoughts already, I have a bunch of bits left over - most notably a twin-linked lascannon, an assault cannon, a heavy flamer, a storm bolter, and two missile launchers.

So, I headed over to BWBits.com and purchased a Dreadnought base, Dreadnought feet, Dreadnought legs, and a Dreadnought torso. With shipping, it came to only $24.71.

Then it hit me after I placed my order: I saved nearly $20 doing it this way.

A Dreadnought box is $40, with a state sales tax it comes to $42, or with shipping from GW's official site it's about $47.

I know a good portion of my savings was because I already had the Dreadnought covers and weapons, but it still feels great to save a nice chunk of money.

The War Store = BWB

And BWB is still in shopping cart form, but they leave the boxed stuff to The War Store.

My local hobby shop gives you a $10 gift certificate everytime you reach $100 worth of spending there, but even with that I would've paid $32 for a Dreadnought.

I used to buy from BWB almost weekly when I was building my army, but this is the first time I've ordered from them since Neal (owner of War Store) took them over.

No idea. I chose the cheapest (bubble wrap), because in this era, the postal service is amazing. I'll still get my package within 4 business days, guaranteed. Doesn't matter if it's first class, priority, FedEx, UPS, etc., it'll always arrive quickly. They just make profit off the remaining money for the "faster" shipping methods.

Case in point: Whenever I ordered from BWB, I always got my package on the third business day. Always.

Also, when I won my battleforce, the day I sent GW an email asking, "By the way, when will my battleforce be shipped out?" is the day it friggin' arrived!

Just goes to show, the postal service is swift as all hell these days.

Oh god-****ing-dammit, I just realized that the Dreadnought parts I ordered are missing the powerplant!

That son of a **** Neal doesn't include it with the body/torso and doesn't sell it separately either. That mother****er!
