Dreads

Yup, I missed the both. My bad... but I didn't have the book in front of me at the time.

 

I would have only wanted it for the rerolled wounds, but I guess just eating through a power armor squad on the turn I charge will have to do... :HQ:

I personally love the blood talons, it makes your dread significantly more effective versus troops. I'm still hoping to see mine take on something that has more toughness then marines I think it will cut its way through big tyranids as well.

I read a batrep from Koyote where he mentioned he killed a squad of 3 carnies on the charge O_o

How insane.

 

To the OP - Personally I see no reason to have a dread without Talons. You dont use dreads to hand-to-hand tanks to death.

 

Like Koyote above I would *never* have considered a dread in a competitive list. Now I wont leave home without one.

I also think either a Furioso or DC dread with Blood Talons should be a standard choice for competitive lists. If you can take both (Furioso with pair of Bloodfists) then all the better. I prefer the DC dread over the Furioso since it's got fleet & furious charge built in plus you don't have to spend any extra points for extra armor. I always equip mine with heavy flamers, it's great versus hordes.

This is true, but when they are what most of the people I play would consider a high proirity target I find the Rage is annoying. Also I am trying to decide if the DC Dread will be equipped with Fists or talons. Against a unit the Talons reign supreme, but the simple fact that if a Landraider is closer and you either don't have the Melta or fail to score a Destroyed result it will be flailing pointlessly

A good reason to have a melta on a DC dread. Just remember, too, that you don't have to assault the closest model. Not sure if that helps, though.

True, but you need to watch out for enemy Dreadnoughts. In a game not too long ago I was playing against BA with my Wolves and was able to intercept his Blood Talon equiped Furioso with my DCCW equiped Venerable. His poor dread with S6 didn't stand a chance against S10.
