pueriexdeus Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 In the current DW Codex V 4.5 it mentions that all DW Dreads are Venerable, but there is no stat line for them in the dex. So does this mean that I can pay the extra points to Ven my DW Deads, and use the C:SM stat line?

Venerable gives them an additional set of rules, wich can be found on pg. 30 of the DA Codex, under the heading "Special Rules" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202811-da-ven-dreads/#findComment-2417229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the down side that extra +1 WS/BS would have been nice. I think it'll be nice to win DA Pure though.

pueriexdeus Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Not a Tourney, but an Apoc game in August. It'll be 30,000 points of DW/Sallie TDA, Vs. 30,000 points of Orks.

Grey Mage Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well in apocalypse you can snag a C:SM Vendread if you so choose.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202811-da-ven-dreads/#findComment-2417299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 A Ven Dread, I'm fielding 22. Looking at the C:DA vs. C:SM it's 40 point difference for the +1 WS/BS, (880 point difference for the whole detachment). Is it worth it? I'll be fielding 22 Dreads. If their Venerable already should I add the EA and stick at 4 WS/BS. I've a feeling that the extra WS/BS will come in handy with my PC's and in CC. I'll be using the FW rules Lucias Pattern DP (Assault) with two TDA Sqds on each of six Dreads on turn 1. Hoping the Dreads will tarpit the Orks, allowing my TDA to charge in turn 2.

If you are shooting dreads with TL'ed weapons I wouldn't bother with C:SM ven but go with the cheaper C:DA ven... I also wouldn't rate the advantage in combat of SM ven either.... I would only use it for some non twin-linked weapon goodness. That is MHO, good luck.
