Mattsama Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I was discussing a recent game with a coworker, where he regailed me with tales from another GK player here in Okinawa. Apparently there was some dispute and the gaming community (localy) came to the conclusion that the GKDread benifits from the Shrouding special rule. Fact or fiction?? I see no vehicle upgrade that would allow it, nor does it list the GK Special Rules in the unit description... But it is listed as a GK Dread. If that is the case a GK Land Raider and a GK Land Raider Crusader bought as Heavy Support (but not a Land Raider bought as a transport since it is listed seperatly and not identified as a GK Land Raider) should benifit as well, right?? Just looking for a little imput and thought on the matter... Thanks in advance!

number6 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 No GK vehicle -- which includes GK dreadnoughts -- benefits from the shrouding. As you yourself note, it's not listed in the army special rules on p. 8 of the codex nor as any available upgrade. People always seem to want dreads to benefit, but wanting something to be true doesn't make it so.

Inquisitor Fox Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 The Dread does get the Aegis rule though, with an effective Ld of 10, but that one's spelled out.

Secondwind Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Dreads only get the aegis if they buy the "blessed" vehicle upgrade. Dreads never got shrouding as the shrouding is only on units which have the "Grey Knights" special rule or are defined as such under the "'Grey knights' Terminology" on page 20 of the codex. No confusion there I think. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169015-dreads-and-the-shrouding/#findComment-1994873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
