death company dread force org question

[nurglez]

Right, just played a rather interesting game with RebG and suffered a charge from a death company and DCD, which chewed up a squad of my termies, which got me thinking about how cool they were.

 

Looking through the DCD entry, it says you make take one for every death company model, If you take a squad of 9 death company Infantry and have 1 DCD, can you then get another? or do you need to buy a 10th death company infantry?

 

I love dreads, but want to be able to put a 9man death company with a chaplain in a rhino B)

You can include one Death Company Dreadnought for every five Death Company models in your army. Codex: Blood Angels page 89

 

'Death Company' is not a special type or designation for rules purposes beyond unit name and profile; a "Death Company model" is a model with the Death Company profile. You must take five Death Company models (profile "Death Company") before you may take a Death Company Dreadnought (profile "Dreadnought").

 

 

[EDIT: Hopefully added clarity.]

I did think it worked that way, just having a look at the wording left me a little bit unsure, cheers :D

Yep- just need more infantry to get that extra Dread.
