Fraid not, but would the actual upgrade appearing in the options list
(i.e., before the weapons) be of any use?

Nope, because I don't have it. Rest assured, the skrills and I work
tirelessly towards adding stuff to the 40k files, even when Games Workshop
taunts us by making up incompetent vehicle design rules, releasing
rulebooks and magazines earlier in heathen countries like the USA and
Canada before Scotland, and such. To summarise:
It'll be ready when it's ready. Patience. I'll add it as soon as I get the
white dwarf and my schedule clear of archery competitions, university work,
work work, etc.

Subject: Orky Dreadnought
Say, What do you think about Ork dreadnoughts getting
long range weapons as they are kind of useless at this
point. Since toughness does not block armour they do
not have a chance to do anything on the battle field.
Can we push for this rule change that dreadnoughts are
not included in the armour block, or at least glancing
hits only when shot at thru troops.
Thanks for hearing me vent.

Since you can't see all the dreadnought when you're shooting through
troops, don't they count as in cover and therefore get the glancing hit
protection?

Could it be dome something like "Adrenal Gland (WS)" "Adrenal Gland
(I)", etc... I don't think it'd be a problem with people trying to up
the stats any more, you've already set the precent with termie honours/
2 ccwpns that the stat line is after modifiers. Another idea is like
how you have the bikes & power fists with "WS - 5/6", "S 4/5" etc, then
put what choices were taken in the options list... whatever's easier.

I usually have great success with my dreadnaught. But its just like any
other vehicle... if its chosen as a primary target, its gonna go down. Maybe
you just need to use some different tactics for it.

Unfortunatly no, models cannot block LOS to an Armor Value Vehicle, so you would pretend that those troops were not even there. Nice try though =]

I would prefer it that way. A text like suggested by "trent", like "Ad Gland (I)" or "Tox Sack (S)" would both serve as a reminder to which upgrades has been taken (though this is also implied in the profile) and show WHY a given stat is raised (to opponents and tournament officials).
