Hello everyone. Hive account@zakludick here with post number 19 of my Warhammer 40k Grand Imperial army, one unit at a time.

Adding another Dreadnought to the line-up. Can you spot him in the cover picture without scrolling down on this post?

A Unit in 40k is either a character, squad or vehicle.

For now, the convention is to pack out the whole Grand Imperial army every time a unit is added... we shall see at what point this becomes unmanageable!

As explained in the ThE Grand Imperial Army Recap October 2025 post, I have had to rework the points. That took the tally of GIA Post 17 from 2,130pts to 2,085pts.

Now for the new unit to add!

Space Wolves Wulfen Dreadnought - 145pts

This Dreadnought has not yet received a name. Perhaps I shall ask my son to come up with a name for this Wulfen Dreadnought.

If nothing else, he is great at getting the enemy's attention - the proverbial "Distraction Carnifex".

The List explained

So the below list will be doing the breakdown and subtotals of the Grand Imperial army and I am starting the this formatting now, the moment there are two units because it will be so much easier for me to just add on to an existing format instead of having to re-order everything later.

When you play the game and build your army, you need to have at least 1 Character and make it your Warlord and then choose other units. There are 4 to 5 categories of units in the official army builder. All Imperial armies have 5 sections because of Allies (Titans, Knights and Imperial Agents).

So when there is 4-5 Characters, the subheading for Characters in that army will have a sub-total. This is the combined Points value for all the Characters together.
Same goes for Battleline, Dedicated Transports, etc.

Then the Faction, eg: Space Wolves, will have a Subtotal of how many points together all of those categories together.

And finally, all Armies like Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Dark Angels, etc together will make the total for the Grand Imperial Army.
