Mattsama Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 So I'm thinking of running a dread with one Bloodfist and one Bloodclaw. Has anyone playtested it?? Am I better off running either two BS or two BCs?? Thanks!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherMoses Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 From my experience just go with two blood talons. The talons do amazing things. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2462659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 i dont think you can take both types, i think you have to take them in pairs... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2462712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Death Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 yes you replaced both for talons but did think off it myself would be nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2462784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaae Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 i dont think you can take both types, i think you have to take them in pairs... This. You trade in your pair of BC for a pair of BT.

Volcatus Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The wording is pretty clear. "Replace both blood fists with a pair of blood talons" So no mix-and-matching of dread CCW's here.

Jakobus Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 That and the fact that you have to have two Bloodtalons to use the extra wound ability. So apart from the re-rolling wounds as a lightning claw a single bloodtalon isn't fulling its potential Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2462803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsama Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 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...

Drachnon Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 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.

Morticon Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 ... 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.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 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. 0b :mellow: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2463852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2463877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, too, that you don't have to assault the closest model. Not sure if that helps, though.

You dont use dreads to hand-to-hand tanks . 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. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206435-dreads/#findComment-2464008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
