Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 My Ven Dread pounded down a squad of Chaos Bikers, then took a charge from a Helbrute, got shook, and immbolized and destroyed the Helbrute's weapon in return. Oh yea, that guy is becoming a staple in my list. WLK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295078-new-ven-dread/#findComment-3775422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnavaer Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have built and painted the axe+shield ven dread too but haven't played him yet, there was just something about an ancient dreadnought smashing troops aside with a huge shield and carving things apart with an axe the size of a terminator that makes me smile I will be podding him in along with my alpha stike units to soak up some damage then charging him into something expensive and start wrecking face ! Here is Jarvald Redfang still bringing terror to the xenos and heretical in the name of Russ and the Allfather http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a513/cfinch88/IMG_1972_zpsdf399746.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295078-new-ven-dread/#findComment-3775790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Good to hear. I want to use it so bad buy my main concern was getting it into combat and... then what? Three attacks, albeit master crafted. Do ven dreads have 2 base still? If so on the charge its getting 4 (2 base, +1 charge, +1 for having the shield/axe combo) plus 4 WS5 attacks, rerolling 1 miss, and rerolling all failed wounds (axe has shred??)...with opponents having to hit AV13 - not bad in my books Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295078-new-ven-dread/#findComment-3775800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasterfree Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Which result in you getting destroyed... Or lose an attack or a weapon. All bad in their own ways. But a dread being more surivable in combat I'm all good with Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295078-new-ven-dread/#findComment-3776054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaarl Stormfang Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's a shame that you lose the ranged weapon. Would be ace to have a heavy flamer involved when you pod in. Still, 180pts for a podded 3++ dreadnought I think is a decent choice. Would like to hear from those with experience of playing with it if it's easy or difficult to keep it's 3++ facing at the right targets. Depends on the opposing army to a degree I guess. Pod will help I'm sure. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295078-new-ven-dread/#findComment-3776143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well, as for the facing issue, at least dreads have a much wider front arc than stuff like Rhino hulls! Hate having my Predators and Vindis die from those damned side hits.

Toasterfree Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I was 195 cause I added death winds. Which I will say I would NEVER have taken pre7th due I not being able to fire them turn 1.

Valerian Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So buy two dreads Val You're not helping. I wonder how much I can get out of an original metal Bjorn model on eBay?

CatSmasher Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I am worried that my new dreads won't be as helpful against my friends tau. Lots of fusion, and the bastards jump around alot.

skeletoro Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So I'd heard only 1 hammer/shield dread per army, but upon reading the codex I can't see such a rule?
