Lord Magyar Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 As the title says I have a dread that I am converting, and I was trying to figure out a way to use it as my HQ. Would it be better to count it as a Demon Prince with psychic powers for the shooty attacks, or would you use the stats of the chaos lord (all tooled up of course) Either way I'm building the dread just thought it would be cool to have it as my HQ.

Tyrannicide Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Interesting, I would personally go the route of the Daemon Prince. It represents it better, and psychic powers seem like the way to go, when suggesting shooting attacks.

Commissar Molotov Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've seen Iron Warriors players use counts-as Daemon Princes before. It would be a good way to get a Venerable Dreadnought as your army leader. I look forward to seeing such a behemoth! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137689-dread-as-hq-for-my-iws/#findComment-1588303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Canoness Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well, you could present it as your HQ and only have a minor Lord as your real HQ (have him as just a mortal champion) that way you could use the dread as a dread rather than a mechanical DP.

chillin Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 An IW's army led by a dread (DP) I like it. yea, I think the DP would be the only way to really reprosent a ven dread. Maybe a hvy flamer to represent WoC. Or TL HB to represent doombolt Or just dual DCCW's to represent warptime.

Sons of Horus Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 make it a DP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137689-dread-as-hq-for-my-iws/#findComment-1593702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 make it a DPSeconded, DP with MoT + Doom Bolt and Bolt of Change (or swap one of those for WoC if he has a 'Heavy Flamer' like Chillin said) would be the easiest way to represent him. Edit: I kind of like the dual DCCW = Warptime idea.

Cmndr Sarpedon Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 In the novel "Dead Sky, Black Sun"; one of the Iron Warriors legions has a dreadnaught leading their Grand Company, so it sounds like a good idea to me :) If you want to represent it, demon prince stats sound good to me.

Lord Magyar Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 In the novel "Dead Sky, Black Sun"; one of the Iron Warriors legions has a dreadnaught leading their Grand Company, so it sounds like a good idea to me :P If you want to represent it, demon prince stats sound good to me. That book is what got me thinking about it. I' slowly building my second army of Iron Warriors. I had about 4k of IW's a couple of years ago. This time around I'm building some true scale IW's. It's slow going, so far I've got two vindicators, the first squad of marines, and the dread that I'm working on. I gotta get some pics posted in the WIP section.

davidren2401 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Personaly I would wait for the Iron Clad SM Dread to come out so you can get the cool siege hammer. That and a multi-melta to represent bolt of change.

davidren2401 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 the chaos dread comes w/ a hammer. It's tiny and the model is (IMHO) crap. SM dreads are much cooler when combined with the chaos vehicle sprue. That or a forge world chaos dread.

Rain Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm actually not a fan of the Forge World IW dread, it looks so boring compared to the outstanding Death Guard, Alpha Legion, Emperor's Children, and World Eaters dreads which I think really capture the "feel" of their respective legion. In any case, it's a good idea, especially since Chaos should have a ven dread option anyway (maybe it would even not be completely useless? Just an idea). Anyway good luck with your truescale marines, that takes dedication *salutes* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137689-dread-as-hq-for-my-iws/#findComment-1602412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
