Jostal Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was just thinking, with the point cost for 2 ironclad dreads, i could almost buy 3 regular dreads. Which would you choose?

minigun762 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was just thinking, with the point cost for 2 ironclad dreads, i could almost buy 3 regular dreads. Which would you choose? Two Ironclads because it's one less Dreadnought and Pod I have to buy and build. Tactically, I think it depends on if you'd have even or odd numbers of pods with either choice.

Stickeh Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 As in all things it can't be decided in a vacuum, what else is in the list? If there's a few predators/Vindicators and you're looking to saturate AV13, then the ironclads are the far better choice, and vice versa for AV12.

Azash Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It depends on what your doing with them. If you are looking at the two options as inter changeable then you probably want ironclads. For close in attacks an Ironclad is superior. Better armor (immune to krak grenades) more attacks and it comes with an option for dual heavy flamers or a heavy flamer/melta gun. For long range fire support the standard dread is better as it can take full compliment of long range shooting. At long ranges its lower armor and less attacks are don't present as big of a downside as they would up close.

knife&fork Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Can ironclads take double melta? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296802-2-iron-clads-or-3-regular-dreads/#findComment-3811955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azash Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Can ironclads take double melta? Nope. The storm bolter can be replaced by an HF and the melta can as well. Those are the only two options. Double melta's would be sweet...probably see a lot more of them in use.
