Book of the Astronomican - RT204 Dreadnought & RT206 Dreadnought expansion

The Ork Dreadnought RT204 and expansion RT206 first appeared in the Book of the Astronomican where the only weapon offered was a las cannon. Shortly after it appeared in White Dwarf 99 where the weapon range was expanded to include a heavy plasma gun, grenade launcher and heavy bolter. In the 1991 catalogue those additional 3 weapons had been dropped and replaced by the standard ork heavy weapons - heavy plasma gun, flamer and missile launcher. Also, by the 1991 catalogue, the original upper torso had been replaced with a part which allowed for a banner to be attached and the dreadnought and expansion had been combined as one model.
