Reading the datasheet I noticed a interesting detail which could possibly be good for our wyches.
In the "Machina Malefica" rules it states "slain any models in the Fight phase other than through Overwatch attacks", meaning Overwatch is part of Fight phase, meaning 4++ during Overwatch for our girls.

Let's hope!

The Siege Drill/Claw wounds anything less than T9 on a 2+!

And hits everything on 2+ with 8" move. Better knock at least 7 wounds off this thing quick.

A DL ravager should do the work by turn 2, hopefully.

Dodge for witches! Yeah!

If that's true, I'd actually think about adding witches to my Kabal!

Anybody notice, that there isn't an appropriate Forge world model for this guy? Maybe they release Datasheets without a model in the future so we can build it ourselves?

One thing i found remarkable is that there is not a single downside to replacing the siege claws with siege drills on the Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought. There's no indication it'll cost you any kind of points, and the stats on the drill are just... better.

Why even keep siege claws a separate option?

Datasheets don't have points, the lists in the book will have them.

The Leviathan Dread already has a model, it's just a couple of the weapons that don't have models yet, and thats not remotely unusual for Forgeworld (Dorn and Alpharius say Hi).

Pretty much everything else we know says Overwatch is fired in the Charge phase not Fight phase, so this is either a case of a rule specifically meant to counteract the effect of another rule or ability or (more likely) typically shoddy rules writing from Forgeworld.
